Guild Wars 2

I’m not a huge fan of every action bound to F, but that’s not the point here.

What I want to see is the priorities of some things that are more important being moved up (or conversely, moving down the less important things). Confusing? Consider some examples.

When my character is gathering and something attacks, I start using skills. Except… they don’t activate. I have to move first, then I can break the gathering action and start using skills. I think the gathering should be a lower priority than skill use.

In Caledon Forest, there’s an area with a heart for trolls. One of the things you can do for the heart is poison some troll food. This action is long — takes three or four seconds. This action, when started, is also completely uninterruptible. I can’t use skills. I can’t move. I can’t stop messing with the food. This nearly got my character killed several times (especially when fighting the champion troll in a cave nearby, and by habit hit the F when I saw a prompt). The priority for this food poisoning is far too high.

In Fields of Ruin, there’s a similar example with reloading some Charr mines. Totally uninterruptible, long action. That one did get me killed when three Separatists appeared and my character was chilled and bleeding before I could even stand up (and then knocked down by the one with the hammer).

Just one of those minor annoyances in the game that could stand some perusal.
