To many abilities - piano playing must be reduced...

Wow!!!!This thread earned for sure a place in the hall of fame for the most stupid threads ever!I know I will prolly get a lot of aggro now but I don't care some things must be said !This thread is for the bad gamer type , since this game lacks of special cd's it's good that it has a lot of DMg skills otherwise it would be extremely boring .And for u guys out there complaining about playing piano ,I know u kind of players u species was discovered with the born of the macros u !Most of u want a 1 macro pwn system ,press 1button and make 30things !For those guys complaining about having 43 skills on keybind , I mean *** !!!U know that u dont have to bind ur resting skill or fleet pass !!!!!!
Btw don't miss understand me I like the ideas of macros but everything in health proportions!

I'm blessed with two opposable thumbs, go me!

yes, rift style macros would benefit this game alot.. atm i have both bottom bars filed with moves i use often and half of the right bar filled.. this is too much

let us have macros

and what do you do when you get targetet just stand there and spam your 3 abilities?
or do you use your two knockbacks, shield, stun, vent heat?


ohhh and you dont use trinkets? and you dont use aoe i take it no DfA? do you use your break free ability?

there i gave you another 9 keybinds

War/Knights need macros. Melee without macros is just dumb. No arguing.

Please do though. I love reading the musings of fools.

Macros suck! What's the point of playing if you hit everything in one button, I can't believe anyone like watching numbers that much.

You need macros? That pretty much means you're either playing with mittens on or are a clicker. 36 hotkeys is enough for my marauder.

I completely disagree...

I took a 2 year break from mmos before i started swtor and had to get used to keybinds again. It was a bit hard in the beginning, but by now im doing very good again.

I dont understand what the problem is. I mean, all the keybinds i have are easely reachable, i know exactly what skills are bound where and have no need to look at my quickbars for anything less then cd on relic + adrenals. Im very sorry if u have to look at ur quickslots to determin what to press to use it, i do not, and so i can keep my eyes on the battlefield and play properly. Maybe u should learn instead of trying to make things easier.

Lots of skills, as minor as their individual effects might be, make the gameplay interesting as it allowes u to use them EXACTLY when u need them, not in conjunction with another skill that applies an effect u dont want. It gives more depth, more playstyle differences etc. Why anybody would want to dumb this down is beyond me.

Im using:

1,2,3,4,5,6
alt 1,2,3,4,5,6
q,e,r,f,g,s,x,c,v
alt q,e,r,f,c,v
right mouse button

and i can reach ALL of them and know what ALL of them do.

I dont want to be rude, but this does sound like L2p issue for me.

Can you link a source for it pls? I missed this thats but if its legal i start using it, i could make some macros like use endure pain and rakata medpack in the same time.

I beg to differ. You seem to be overwhelmed by the many binds. Solution - get a more suited gaming peripheral (e.g. naga, nostromo, etc) or find a better working modifier system for yourself or switch from wasd to tfgh or something.

Just because you can't handle it, doesn't mean the system itself is flawed. Others manage - why is it the game's and not your fault, if you can't? Your above claim on game design is your opinion, nothing more. Some might agree and many don't.

Having fewer ability only makes it easier for your manual skills - this does not automatically make the mind game more complex, as you put it there. Quite the opposite actually.

I like the plethora of binds and the 'piano playing' very much (I've got 46 of my 48 slots bound to a key - I only click fleetpass and quick travel).

BLC was far from a quick dance actually. It was more like constantly pressing certain buttons due to the different activation method of the game (that game broke 3 deathadders in a row...). Yes, it had few binds and was still complex and skillbased - but that was possible by the additional elements of player collision and ofc every ability being a skillshot. I'd be curious what your grade and charname was - given the small community, we probably know each other (g21, fru5c14nt3, 5h3ld0r, et. al.)^^
