hi,

Since October 7th update my utility skill (number 7) is activated randomly when I press number 1-5 or ^ (switch weapons). 1-5 and ^ have their intended function, but the 7 utility skill is activated in addition.

I have a German, Logitec Illuminated keyboard with English Win 7. Also I mapped Q as additional key to activate the utility skill on 7.

Please fix this. It greatly disturbs my gameplay. :-)

I’m also German, but had no comparable issues. I’d guess you tend to hit Q accidently or your keyboard is a little broken.
You could try to remove the Q-binding for a few hours and see if that fixes the problem, so determine if it’s rather the game or you.

hi,

- I verified I didn’t press Q accidently. At least only rarely :-)
- I deleted the Q key mapping and the error still persists.
- I also met at least one other player with problems with his key-bindings after the update.

So ANet pleeeeze look into it :-)
Can also contact me, so I can make addition tests for you…

Maybe this is a problem with Multi-key RollOver?

Solved! :-))) very embarrassing :-)

I accidently turn on auto-attack on skill 7 for one weapon combination. So when I used the ^ key to switch weapons skill 7 would be activated as auto-attack. since it has a long cooldown only every 30 secs. it would be activated again, while I pressed some 1-4 key….<blush>

Thanks for your advice :-)
