At about 1h 15m. The guy is an alpha geek, but obviously has skills to pay the bills. This action camera stuff is pretty rad.

WOW that guys is a loving spazz. He reminds me of every ultra dork I hung out with in school (including me).
But man, that action camera is exactly what I've wanted for ages. It's going to save my wrist.

I had to stop the stream because of him buuuuuuut do you hold down 1/LMB or have to click it for each attack while in this mode?

What time is it?!

I'm glad they're going on board with something you can only achieve through a glitchy plugin otherwise.

If it also let you bind things to the mouse it'd be pretty much what I'm using now. Mouse2 dodge would be hard to part with.

I have an AHK setup with Stow Weapon bound to MB2 for ability canceling. :unsmigghh:

Did they ever specify if these "balance patches" are split between sPvP and WvW/PvE, or will they be global?

IE, Vamp rune changes just for sPvP?

Of course they are global. It is very rare where a balance change splits a skill PvE/PvP.
They don't want a repeat of GW1. Love it or hate it.

Or follow City of Heroes. THey split development teams right down the middle to support PvP and retool almost every skill for a game mode that was almost never used.

There already exists a significant amount of skill differences between sPvP and open world.

There's a new instant cast setting that lets you hold down mouse 1 to constantly attack with skill 1.

Exactly this. The dev who thinks this will be good for engineer nades is dreaming. Oh good let me just point the camera at my feet in a group clusterfuck andhgrjxjdhgehrhfhhhgggjh

(also aiming all your nades at a distance using the crosshair is loving impossible, you'll throw up after a minute of bucking the mouse)

How exactly do you use grenades now? I tried them out very briefly on my engi but all the clicking and targeting just sucked and I went back to ranger.

That guy obviously wasn't very comfortable in front of the camera, but gently caress it, dude spent a ton of his free time to bring us this awesome thing.

It's heartening to see a game that is 3 years old with as much enthusiasm from it's devs.

When I'm lazy I just hold down left mouse and mouselook to throw grenades. Basically you move the target reticule by shifting the camera around. I imagine this works similarly.

They said you could take it out of 1st person mode while still using the action camera. It sounds like it'd be useful but I've not seen it in action so I dunno.

Is there a way to make keybindings a per-character thing?

It's semi-annoying having my elemental attunements be the top bar as ele but engineer toolkits are in the special skills slots while the extra skill they give are in the top slot.

I'm pretty sure that your keybindings are account wide, afaik there's no way to make individual settings for each character.

Ask anet help support. If they say there isnt, express that you would be more than haopy to purchase it if it existed, but you are not interested in the middle option.

May not lead to anything but if they realize there is an interest in such a product... I mean it IS a digital sale, not much physical media to worry about sales there.

Remembered that I should probably buy this expansion since it'll be out next week, then I looked at the purchase page and I guess the base purchase doesn't come with an extra character slot, you only get one if you splurge for the 75 dollar version? I mean, even though they're adding a new class? That blows, since I'm full up with one of each existing class already. Usually you want one of the advertised features of your expansion to be readily available to everyone who, you know, buys your expansion.

And yeah, I know I can just pony up and buy another slot from the gem store, but it seems sort of petty of them not to include one. Kind of killed my desire to blow money on games. :saddowns:

Edit: vv Just noticed that, under the tiny grey link at the bottom of the page with the highly informative text of 'learn more about the additional pre-purchase offer' How could I miss something so obvious. Okay fine Anet, take my money.

There's a new mechanic in Heart of Thorns, every day a random Sylvari player has their character turned into Scarlet and lose control of that character slot. After the players kill her your character is deleted permanently.

Pretty sure they've said the gem discount is literally just a one time thing you could get at that moment. At this point, upgrading would just be them giving you free gems, so I'm guessing the answer would be no. The best you could hope for would be disconnecting your hot key somehow and applying a brand new ultimate one, but that would be stupid.

The Vigil heavy helmet works pretty well for gladiator/pit fighter although I think there might be some minor clipping issues on female charr.
