Guild Wars 2

It looks bad and it plays bad, I found myself squinting to see if my F2 was off CD yet, hiding it behind the F1 is just bad UI design, I hope to see this changed before HoT.

True

totally true, it has to be changed more like thief F1 F2.

it’ll definitely be changed

totally, I’m a clicker, and clicking on the little bit of an icon behind the first one is pretty hard to hit in a fight.

This, its so bad. Im posting in every thread I see on it.

no, unless we are very vocal about it. they won’t change it.

we get roman numerals for traits icons after the game was launched.

it was only 3 years later we get trait icons.

we keep voicing out until we are heard.

I totally agree with this.

I didn’t think it was so bad, but meh…

I had the same issue. it either needs to flash when it comes of CD (which you might not even notice) or separated. As it is now it doesn’t even show which bind you need to hit to activate it, and you can’t tell if it’s off CD without squinting.

Not gonna lie: I didn’t even notice there was an F2 during my beta warrior playing. It wasn’t until my husband was playing one and said “It’s dumb that the F2 is almost hidden by F1” that I realized it was even there.

So yeah. Please move it, Anet.

Had 7 of us try the new specialization for the warrior. The overlap of the F1 and F2 was the first comment out of each that was a major problem. That comment was the same if they loved or disliked the class so it wasn’t an issue of just the people that did not prefer the class. Please adjust the UI and make these distinct. For the people that actually click versus keybind it was even worse.

I also really want them to get rid of the overlap – it took me forever to realize that it was F2 I was supposed to hit because I couldn’t read it properly behind F1. (And I also agree it’s really hard to see the cooldown on F2 when it’s hidden like that.)

EDIT: Wrong topic. Whops.

I didn’t have a problem seeing the F2 was there but the position did make it difficult to use. While I agree the problem with cooldown visibility is an issue, my problems were more mechanical based.

I have a very small laptop and the sound controls are default mapped to the function keys. If I want to use the function keys I need to contort my hand to use the Fn key near the left Ctrl + F2 (which is awkward) or use my mouse. I kinda need the mouse for other things and my mouse is old so sometimes finer control doesn’t work as well; moving it across the screen is fine, trying to move it 1/8th of an inch to get that sliver of a box is a problem.

I can’t imagine I’m the only one not using good hardware for the game. Separating the F1 and F2 buttons to be next to each other like most other classes would make using it a lot easier for me.

This – and no seperate activation needed for berserk mode but rather just choosing the F2 burst making you simultaneously enter it.

Agreed.

I’d prefer the overlap to be with the primal burst skill and then have berserking like what they did with facet of nature

just separate them first so they dont overlap, we can discuss other mechanics somewhere else :P

I was really surprised they even decided to overlap it. Look at Engineer and Elementalist. Why did they think overlapping would save room on the UI for a warrior? Cmon now.

Warriors unite. It’s a simple request, simple fix. Anet do this

I strongly support fixing this.

I actually main a thief, but I will fight your cause for you! :P

Agreed as well. Even putting it temporarily directly above the F1 like mes F5 would be better than how it is now. Can’t read the cd for it so I never can tell when berserk ready to be used
