And by that I mean, how are your controls set? Do you use 1-8 to activate your skills or do you click them? Do you move with the mouse or WASD? Or, have you set your controls to something else entirely?

I use WASD to move, and 1234QERF for my 8 skills, and when I monk I click my teammates

So how about you guys?

Kyrein · Apr 09, 2008, 08:40 AM // 08:40

wasd, 1-8
use party window to select team

I used to mouse walk only (too many pathing issues without it), but after the news that it will be removed from GW2, I have been wasding a lot more.

For skills, it's 12345 and the three side buttons on my mouse which generates mouse4, mouse5 and mouse6. Clicking on skills is for noobs.

WERD for moving in pvp, mouse usually in pve.
For skills the two most used skills (normally SB and guardian) are on the mouse side buttons, the next one on A (dismiss), elite on 2 and rest on 345 and 6/T - though i usually click the last one and sometimes the second to last with the mouse. Click teammates with mouse in the party window.
Usually play monk, when I play other professions I tend to use the mouse much more to select skills.

Edit: partywindow on right side of screen, skillbar in two rows under it, energy and health horizontally above it.

Mouse being my primary control input of choice.
I click on the ground to move (outside of the key "A" which is used to move forward for the times when I can't be bothered to click on the floor or I just want to move forward constantly.).
Mouse click on the skillbar to activate skills - outside of the interrupt on skillslot 1 - I activate that one on the keyboard.
Tab and Q (I think) to scroll targets.
C + Space.

WASD 1-8..
Usually play monk. Elite always on 3, guardian on 4, cond. removal on 5 rest depends on build.
use party window to select team, or mouse side buttons to go up or down on party window.

Laughing Bat · Apr 09, 2008, 08:54 AM // 08:54

mouse and keyboard except for tomb farming where I use wasd and the numlock keys.

Pesi · Apr 09, 2008, 08:54 AM // 08:54

WASD, 1-6 (clicking 7,8 with mouse, but looking for something better)
Good interesting thread.

Yea, i've been looking for something better too. Saw Divisor post 1234QERF I think i'll try that out.

Also.. where do you guys have your Skill bar on screen?

Redfeather1975 · Apr 09, 2008, 09:02 AM // 09:02

I call my skills in.
I have an agent.

Severlator · Apr 09, 2008, 09:08 AM // 09:08

Mostly WASD for movement but i click NPC's or land thats far away sometimes to, I always use the mouse for skill bars, old habit from other games I guess but works fine

Control system is going to be significantly changed, in particular mouse movement in the form "click to move" will be removed from the game.

*faints*

It just goes to show how my ignorance concerning GW2 was a smart decision!
The things I read on the links you provided ... if that turns out to be true ... GW2 might be shit!

It's sad but true Upier.
Also I heard that mesmer pants will be designed to clip with all shields.

Riot Narita · Apr 09, 2008, 09:28 AM // 09:28

Ideazon Fang gaming keypad. Pretty much everything except chat is assigned to buttons on that. I can do most things in-game without having to look away from the screen. I've figured out a good layout for the Fang, and gotten used to it... and now I can never go back to a regular keyboard.

I use the mouse for steering movement, and activating skills.

I have my skills in a 4x2 grid instead of the default 8x1, health and energy bars directly underneath, "drop item" directly above. All in-game messages moved to the left, where they won't obstruct my view of targets etc.

BigDave · Apr 09, 2008, 09:29 AM // 09:29

For movement i generally hold right mouse button to pick direction and use WSAD for movement/strafing (habits i picked up with FPS games). To select party members i use the party window. For activating skills i usually just click them, unless i'm monking or interrupting in which case i use 1-4 generally with the other 4 skills as my normal mouse click (skills that require lower reaction times).

garethporlest18 · Apr 09, 2008, 09:31 AM // 09:31

I usually WASD with QE sometimes and most of the time I click my skills. Because if I didn't I'd end up pressing the wrong number and using the wrong skill. Also that's why I don't really PvP.

Kapral · Apr 09, 2008, 09:35 AM // 09:35

WSAD to move, mouse to click enemies unless I just have to c-space :-p. I'm trying to get used to using 1-8 for using skills, but I still click a lot. My skills are in a 4x2 grid instead of 8x1. Health, Energy, and Exp bars are right above the skill grid and sized down to equal with it. Everything that is visible at all times is moved all the way to the right except the District bar. Bout it I think.

JR · Apr 09, 2008, 09:38 AM // 09:38

Movement: WASD/Mouse

That bit is similar to my skill layout - but do you still have the popup skill descriptions? I do, so I put the health/energy under the skills - otherwise the popups obscure my health/energy (which can be fatal).

I don't display the experience at all... I don't need to see that onscreen all the time...
