That ending was pretty great. I'm intrigued by the aiming but he mentioned if you scroll your mouse over the button it will show the aimer.. not sure if want? Then again after a while you'll know your abilities and probably won't need an aimer at all. But I guess this could explain the godawful clickers in gameplay videos.

I can't remember where I saw it but if you press and hold the hot key you see the telegraph area. No need to mouse over.

Ooooh, okay then. Yeah I wouldn't imagine after all they're talking about they would make it mouse hover only, that would be silly. I can't wait to try the combat though

Um.. It was extremely clear. You have both options. What are you guys smoking?

I dunno but it must be some good shit if people think you have to mouseover keybinds to aim lol

I found the blind effect during that Aiming clip interesting, if it really was one.

This game looks made for either razer naga mice or console controllers.

Who can hold down 4 to aim a shot while using ASDF or ESDF to move? What about the number 8 on the keyboard? Really?

C'mon. Just drop the 'this is also for consoles!' bomb now. If they haven't already, that is. I've not been paying too much attention.

Not really. Tera had quite a few "Charge" up moves, where you held a key down while still moving, and some other action based games had similar moves iirc(memory is spotty on those, didn't play them much). Pretty easy to do with a keyboard, nothing to do with controllers.

Will be interesting to see if you can press + hold it indefinitely or will it act like similar moves in other action based games where it will auto fire after x time.

Also, who the hell uses the 8 key still? re-map that shit.

it's not for consoles. seriously it's not.

As a longtime Naga user I cannot even fathom hitting numbers on a keyboard anymore to activate abilities. Nearly the same visceral reaction as to 'clickers'

Naga+G13 here. Can't go back to fucking around with a keyboard and normal mouse.

same people that still use wasd rather than esdf

ESDF is uncomfortable for me if I need to hit 'tab' often.

Teaser posted this morning, upcoming race/class reveal at Comic Con, nothing really too exciting if you've frequented the dark recesses of the internet.
Still, hopefully some decent footage will come out of this (I know...), but at least we should be seeing some key information on the 2 new classes, and their mechanics.

Another one :http://www.wildstar-online.com/en/news/click_me_too.php

The last dev talk or whatever video had a picture of an Engineer in it shooting a gun with sparkly effect. It might not be called an Engineer, but it's not one of the revealed classes.

Yeah there's a few of those, the 'Engineer' was in the movement video too, as well as the second unnannounced class. Check out the character being controlled when the dev talks about Farside, those two things on his back? Apparently weapons/implements. If you haven't gone to find all the info on these two classes, safe to say, from what is out there, that they both sound like good fun.
