i dont know if someone already started this topic but im too lasy to look.
anyways there is combat hot for fallensword i think it would be a really great idea for hotkeys in SS2.
i mean HCS already got hotkeys for leaving battle but why not starting the battle it would be alot better then having to click on the combat button everytime and not to mention that sometime you click on the group battle button when fighting normal monsters and that is just a waste.
so what does everyone think do we need hotkeys for combat or not.
what do everyone think hotkeys for combat

Hot keys are helpful when speed hunting but when you think about it they would lead to you dying more. This method does slow you down greatly. The group button being right next to the plain combat button is driving me crazy though... I can not tell you how many hook toads i have killed so far with groups. ARGH!

true but with hotkeys no more wasted stamina on the hooktoads see with no hotkeys for combat and you press the group button you just wasted 20 points of stamins and your guildmates stamina and in SS2 stamina means alot cause you cant repair anytime and you need to go get healed.
But spread the word about my poll im trying to start a really good idea

The only problem, because it's an idea imported from FS, is the HP. In this one the HP is counting down for each hit and it isn't reseted for the next fight. But still very good idea

The already existing hotkeys we have are these :
Q = North-West
W = North
E = North-East
A = West
D = East
Z = South-West
X = South
C = South-East
R = Repair
G = Squad Group
B = Manage Backpack
Why not add these hotkeys :
S = Enter Shop/Realm/etc....
M = Quick Buff menu
N = World Map menu
L = Heal (while in the healing pyramid/similar to repair)
1-8 = Attacking entity in position 1-8 (Excluding Champions and Elites)
T = Initiate Squad Group attack on entity
What you all think ?

wow nice work with the organising
but yea that is perfect i mean going back from mouse to keyboard is dumb i mean we type with the keyboard and over half of the keys that we can use are already in hot keys so why not but all them in the hot keys and also HCS should give all players a choise of keyboard or mouse and also some people with labtops dont have mouses so that is unfair to them you know.
but that is a perfect example for a great hotkey set up thanks for a great example badjoe99

I definitely think there should be hotkeys. And I don't think people will die that much more often, I mean seriously, it's not that hard to hit just 1 hotkey.
Personally I thrive on hotkeys. I work on the computer and every program I use I make a point to use as many hotkeys as possible—it saves loads of time!

I just would like to register a WT...Heck on the arrangement of the directional navigation hotkeys. I have a teeeeny little laptop keyboard and the keys aren't organized quite the way they would normally be (squished together differently) so I have to think entirely too hard to move around using them. It's actually easier to use my horrid touchpad. Can I ask why arrows are uncool for movement's sake?
I would like to be able to use hotkeys for attacking because of said touchpad, though - using that thing to try to kill things is hard.
I like SS2 and would like to keep playing it but ATM it's too time-consuming because of the restriction on kills. Stupid touchpad.....

this definately is a great idea. not sure about any1 else but most of the time the attack button is just off the right of my screen causing me to have to scroll over and that is so annoying when you have to do it over and over. there are no negatives to this idea that i can see so why not. if you dont like to use them then you dont have to :twisted:

how could this possibly lead to dying more. you still have to watch youe hp and stats no matter how you attack. this post makes no sense

Ya I too am puzzled by his post =/ , we can speed hunt but that doesn't mean we can be careless. After all faster hunt = faster durability loss and that is one of the duty for all players to watch out for.....If a player dies often then it's his/her fault for not paying attention to his/her status.

If your talking about adding number keys to hunt creeps then the answer would be NO. THis is not FS and should not be added, its too damn easy to die already in this game, this would just further that and cause headaches. A hotkey for everything but hunting though could be added, however to hunt you should always at least have to work (click) for the kill.
