Derailing off.

I've clicked the § button more times than I can remember during combat as it's right next to 1 and tab, a little slip either way gets that huge *** window in my face... This key needs to be unbound. If I want to make a bugreport i mouseover to the nice UI button on the top of the screen that says "Customer Service".

I think they are aware of these issues but for some reason they are no being prioritised despite the comparative ease at which they can be fixed.

I also bang into the permanent keybind of "ctrl+a" which is the toggle for Ambience On/off. Unfortunately for me, ctrl is my preferred modifier for all my main abilities, and 'A' is a movement key. So regularly I find myself accidentally executing Ambience On/Off mid combat which means I basically totally lose control of my character until I realise.

Its excrucatingly irritating and one of those things that makes me want to kick my screen in because its just so damn stupid. Its also one of the primary reasons the combat feels clunky to me. Baffles me how this type of thing made it through Beta or even Alpha testing. No key should be permanently bound to anything.

Believe me, European latin keyboards is MUCH worse. The key is right next to "1" and Tab. You hit it countless times.
As a German player I have put my map on that key, so at least it will close easily enough (happens still too often in combat).

It's just not an issue if you don't flail around the keyboard.
This is rubbish. Its a main priority for me, as I mentioned above, it directly affects the movement, responsiveness and fluid play of my character. Plus compared with a lot of the other bugs in this game, it should be very easy to resolve. Just get some pleb to write a comprehensive list of all key bindings in game, and then add them to the interface so they can all be bound or unbound.

Permanent keybinds so close or even on the primary movement/action keys is just idiotic.

Edit: No, actually permanent binds are just idiotic full stop. They will annoy somebody somewhere.

Yeah because actually typing correctly and using your keys accurately is simply too much to ask of you.

As someone already said on some keyboards it's bound to the | key next to 1. Not only do I sometimes hit it by accident when trying to hit 1, but I've also gotten used to using it as a hotkey button from other MMOs. Not being able to use it here sucks.

You know the game is released in many countries? most countries have country-specific layouts, in mine the dam key is just above TAB key, i can't count how many times the new ticket window has poped just when i had to emergency heal th tank.

Even once it become in a wipe and then i filled that new ticket, the response was "bla bla bla, BOT, bla bla bla, check incoming pathes for updates on this" ...
A long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away, fanbois will realize they hurt games they love in a way no troll could ever dream of.

No I'm sure it's intended.

However that doesn't stop it from being plain stupid and highly annoying.

Nor does it stop them from changing it for those very reasons.
Real Star Wars space combat please, not Star Wars Fox! Maybe some PvP and flight too?
