Like? z-buffer mess? horrible framerate? AO now actually knows what card you have? Details please

[Tanana]

You've somehow messed up the way I move in AO.

You've removed the action of the shift key to enable autorun. I used this for everything. Only now that you've removed it do i see how much I did!

You've also borked the use of shift to select different cht groups in the tab menu.

Bring this back please!

I'm thinking he's referring to the Item Shop.

Revenue generating 'problems' have the utmost priority it seems!

Oh yes! Bring those back please.

If it ain't broken, why fix it?

Would really like to see this reverted back a patch or at least have it optional, you made it better then made it worse than it was originally.

Please at least let us choose if we want the arrows to move us while we're typing or if the arrows should alter the cursors position.

[XenonDe]

Looking up and down works fine in 3rd person now thanks for that. Now it's screwed in first person though.

[Phargus]

Using the global key bindings for movement (wasd) causes me to move when i type something with those letters in chat :/

[Tanana]

Crazy changes here...

No-one at FC ever heard of that old saying, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it".

Chatted to a GM about binding movement. Seems that unlike other actions you can't bind two keys to your direction arrows. So for example, you cant bind cursorup + shift.

He wasn't sure why but atleast we agreed that you couldn't do it any more.

He did inform me that this is the way the development team wanted it though, whatever that means.

Introduce key Bindings to make using perk and attack actions easier but make actual movement less convenient.

i rest my case

Yes. Please.

[Kinkstaah]

I haven't noticed any difference whatsoever

[Llilil]

You've removed the action of the shift key to enable autorun. I used this for everything. Only now that you've removed it do i see how much I did!

Agree with that. I used to use the SHIFT key to autorun either forward, or forward+right+strafe right (to climb up stairs in redeemed temple for example). Now it no longer works.

Even more unconvenient : formerly, one were able to run then hit SHIFT key while running (or straffing, turning as in the above mentionned staircase scenario), release keys (that is : shift and up arrow/strafe/turning) and the character was set to autorun WITHOUT stopping running.

Now, you even can't go at once from running using uparrow to autorun (Alt-Num0 or whatever key you binded) : you must stop then hit the autorun key. The little time of stopping involved (say half a second) in the process is somewhat boring when you have hords of mobs on your tail. Stopping even half a second may give mobs enough time to meet up with you and to kill you.

Please bring back the former autorun function the way it was working.

oh the hate...

have some consideration for alt-aholics...

You can copy paste/replace the keybindings from charcter into another characters keybindings. Just make sure you copy the entire tree node.
shucks.. but will have to do for now until one of us makes a quick program to set keys outside the game.

[coopio]

So now I don't have any movement keys on any toons and need to put in amually on every toon. What kind of messed up game have movement keys inactive as default except AO?
And the ctrl+c to copy ingame doesn't work for me either.
You have really managed to screw things up that has no flaws.

Yes please, revert this to 18.4 commands (arrows move cursor like in any text editor, etc. That was great.) or to the commands that have been used for years before 18.4.

Or as Ebondevil said, give us the choice.

I'm sure there are reasons for this last change but the result is simply very awkward for probably anyone using chat a lot. I asked around a lot last night and I couldn't find someone liking the new system (except one person, and still I'm not sure he "likes" it; it's more that he saw some advantages for him).

So far, almost all the recent changes have been nice or even excellent. This one needs to be reconsidered.

Thanks

BTW. If it is intentional that we can now see how much % resist you can get from any such items (example: MOTR) then thank you very much.

If it is not, then please dont change it again
