Re: MapleStory

I play with heal on Delete, tele on Ctrl, and SR on space. I'm just used to it I guess, I think if you get used to something, almost any key settings can work, but I do wonder how you manage to telecast with that. O-o;

Re: MapleStory

Yeah, same here. I can imagine attack buttons being on insert-pagedown, because that's about as physically manageable as crouching with ctrl while moving with WASD in a FPS. But telecasting has got to be a bitch. I bet if he were to try it with teleport apart from his attack keys he's like it a lot better.

That said, I leave all my pots on those keys that are visible in the corner for the practical reason of having them as a counter. If I could make a counter for any item (I'd REALLY love to be able to do this) and stick it in the corner, I might have pots elsewhere, but that's the main reason my pots all go right there. I like being able to track how much I have left, because if I'm running anywhere near low I like to know it way ahead of time.

Re: MapleStory

I always had Heal on space, but I regretted it.

My problem was that MS hotkeyed my keyboard's media player controls to certain keys, so whenever I adjusted the volume, paused, skipped forward or backward, stopped, or muted, it would think I pressed a key. I therefore could not bind anything to those keys. QRPSJCB if I remember correctly.

My spacebar is still incredibly shiny where I used to keep my thumb in-game. Right next to Alt for jump. Control was for primary attack and Shift was for secondary. A was Teleport, and I put all of my buffs on n m , .

Toward the end of my MS career I just used a joypad and joy2key to bind all of my settings to it. Life was good.

Re: MapleStory

That's not just MS, it's the way your keyboard is wired and how your computer interprets those keys. Games don't expect those special keys so they will do stuff in the game. Any time I hit play or stop my party/guild lists pop up, but I don't mind it too much. My mute responds as D, I think, which fires bolt in MS. I was playing BF2 one time and hit the mute key and I started strafing right. So yeah, it's not just MS, it's your keyboard. =P

Re: MapleStory

Yay for sharing key settings!

I have Z = pickup, X = magic claw, C = jump, V = tele, D = heal. Buffs are on the right side, and I put pots on the little popup thing just like eb o_O (although my laptop has no traditional block of keys like those, so I use numpad for them and it won't register a few like Insert that way :/ ). My reasons are the same, plus I like being able to glance down and make sure I'm pressing the right key for the pot I need sometimes, since I don't use them often enough to have them all down instinctively.

A is my beloved chair.

It does not happen in any other game I have ever played on my computer.

The only other game that is affected by the media controls is Oblivion, and it just disables them all together.

Re: MapleStory

Man, I've always regretted not taking a screenshot of my skill layout.

I remember some of the keys through muscle memory though. It's quite awesome.

V- Jump
Z- Magic Claw
G- Teleport
Ctrl - Heal
Shift - Invincible
D - Pick Up
X - Holy Arrow
A - Bless

I remember getting my third job skills but I only used them for what, three or so hours?

Space - Holy Symbol
C - Shining Ray

I had Magic Guard, a point in Magic Armor, and Dragon, but those were in places where I could not reach easily. I didn't need to use these skills often.

My potions are in the Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, End, and Page Down block. They are quite close to my arrow keys.

Re: MapleStory

NEVER! Muahahahahaha!

Seriously, complaining about one's key setup is like saying that he/she has arthritis.

I have arthritis.

Good thing it hardly ever bothers me. Actually, I don't think I ever get it in my hands or anything. It's always in my knee on the rare occasions that it strikes

By the way, it doesn't matter if oni (or anyone else for that matter) uses a stupid key setting as well. It's still stupid. And even I'll admit, my key settings aren't even completely free from stupid, but at least my main attack isn't directly above my directional keys.

ps OMG BANDITCOM IS LEVEL 120+ AND IS NEW HACK HACK HACK HACK HACK

Anyways, shut up about my key setup. Your key setup sucks anyway. =P

Re: MapleStory

You do know that the GPQ is alot harder than Kerning or Ludi PQ right?

It's not too bad, I've done the first few stages with my other guild before,
plus we had Brandon to tell us how to work through the stages.
And obviously, it is.
The bosses physical would do about 11k BUMP.
It also does 1/1 and dispel like pap, except more often,
so I had killed alot of powers/elixirs which ended up in failure...
but I gues it was fun, though the jump quests were retarded
