Been there done that, never crossed my mind to have to scope people out when I was in charge of the whole mess. I knew cool people, they knew cool people, and we figured poo poo out together. Sometimes we failed hard. Never occurred to me hey Susan in healing isn't performing properly we need to hire a replacement and curb her rear end.

But I know some people can't help making this sorta thing into some pseudo job.

I'm having some keybind issues. I have Elusive Jump set to ` (on a UK keyboard this is above Tab and is where the tilde key would be on a US keyboard) and Limit Break to Alt-`. In the past couple of days, though, those two keybinds have been disappearing, or changing spontaneously to ' and Alt-' (that's apostrophe, on the complete other side of the keyboard). It seems to happen randomly, and even in the middle of a fight. You can imagine how hitting my backflip key and nothing happening is infuriating. Has anyone else come across this? I installed Windows 10 yesterday but that's the only change I can think of.

Also when they put tier pieces back into LFR for the wow legion beta people on the mmo champ forums got really angry because now they're "forced" to do lfr, and a shitload of the people actually doing the mythic (savage) raiding came out and said who loving cares, making the game more casual friendly is a good thing.

Basically just ignore fister roboto when he says poo poo like that, it's not really representative.

Have you checked your regional settings under Windows to make sure it has the correct keyboard layout selected?

Few are those who see that a thread has gained 60+ replies when they perused it last and actually go through and read all those replies rather than just hopping to the last one or the page before last.
Or they read posts without reading them. The eyes scan over the words, the meanings are compiled in the brain and then by the next post it's gone. Poof, to the aether.

It does, but apparently for some ungodly reason Windows 10 has a hotkey combination to change between US and UK keyboard layouts. The combo is Shift-Alt and since many of my keybinds use those keys, I might be switching between them by accident. I deactivated that combination and I'll see if that helps.

That's actually still the ` key on a US keyboard, but we call it the tilde key (which is shift+`) because nobody knows what to call `.

That's the hotkey combo to change between any active keyboard layouts and has been around since at least XP.

It's pretty weird if changing keyboard layouts is actually editing your keybinds, since the game is set up to handle language input switching in the first place. I initially wanted to say that maybe there's a wayward input sanitizer hitting your keybinds but then I use ` for autorun and it's never vanished on me so I dunno.

Yep, the Valerian sets were based on TO: Let Us Cling Together character art, and Valeria itself was a region in the game.

Strictly speaking it's the grave accent and would be combined with other characters to create a grave accent over a letter. Why we have that on the US/UK keyboard but don't have a specific acute accent is kind of weird but historically the single quote ' would have doubled as an acute accent.

People familiar with programming might have heard of it called a backtick as well.

They'll probably be up when scheduled since it coincides with a weekly reset happening and they're usually reluctant to put them up before those happen.
