Adzekul.3104 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Existing characters on existing accounts, not the "default options for new accounts". This is very uncool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzekul.3104 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) You need to swap the following pairs ... Q + E -> A + D and vice versa. And note that your SAC (Special Action Key) may have also changed. Quick way to make the player base grumpy, IMHO.

Serynna.3786 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Why did they do this? I see no good reason. If they think, for some reason, that it is better for new players (and I don't see why it would be), then change it for new accounts, but don't mess with existing accounts ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzekul.3104 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My only guess: intended for new accounts only, bugged to affect all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 For me nothing changed. This should only affect newly created accounts but I guess they also used it for existing accounts that are not too old yet? My account is created 2012 or so ... at release. And they did not seem to overwrite any of my settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzekul.3104 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My alt account (the one on which I noticed the change) is more than 3.5 years old. I have not yet checked my main (7 years old) account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melok.2173 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My account was also created in 2012 before launch and it was impacted by this. I hope they can revert the settings because I don't know what else is affected and can't recall what all I had settings wise. After so many years, I do things by habit not because I actively think what key binding I had setup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocturna.2358 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I have the same problem. My account is from 2012. After trying to change some key bindings my game froze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derktarlms.6213 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 They also changed everything and I had problems going to the right and left but thanks to my clan I deleted those assignments that I don't know who it will serve and (assign TURN to the right and left), are they doing it to annoy?🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mygodisthesun.1725 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 How do I make it so my character moves around 360 while standing still using the A,D buttons as it used to be? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jwake.7013 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Yeah I have so many things rekeybound and or mapped to my mouse. Very annoying that this happened. Edited August 2, 2022 by Jwake.7013 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaidy.1824 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Same issue. Keybinds were gone after log in. Really annoying to figure out this again. Thank you Anet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarpan.9074 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Same. It's from the changes for new accounts in the latest update. I don't think it was supposed to affect everyone but it did. Look at the patch notes for today about half way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahConner.3659 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 its hideous. my movement feels slippery and i cant turn, i cant even strike a boss in pve for gods sake. normally when i press A or D, i can rotate to that direction, now nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winderly.2718 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 New Player Experience Improvements -snip- General Options: AoE Loot on Interact: On Autoloot: Autopickup: On Show All Enemy Names: On Show All Usable Object Names: On Show Skill Recharge: On Show Target Health Percent: On Disable Player Camera Shake: On Right-Click to Attack/Interact: Off Melee Attack Assist: Off Lock Ground Target at Maximum Skill Range: On Graphics Options (skipped if Autodetect would choose lower values): Reflections: Terrain & Sky Character Model Limit: Medium Control Options: Strafe Left: A Strafe Right: D Turn Left: Q Turn Right: E Special Action: N Information Dialog: - (dash) Why, why would you change the keybinds of the NOT new players ? Why not just make those the default settings so that any new player can enjoy those without having the old players have a headache figuring which keybinds went off. There's a reason i changed the keybinds all the way across to the opposite side of the keyboard. Just why ? What's the point for me to change keybinds if it's to have no reliable way to keep it changed ? My left hand is malformed and the last thing i need is for you to change the keybinds back to default unuseable by me US keyboard layout. This is beyond irritating. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Bandit.3786 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Why did I have to spend the past 45 minutes to make the game playable again? ALL movement mappings I made GONE ALL settings for my mounts GONE ALL modifications that I made as a Handicapped player to be able to play this game without pain... GONE!!! JUST GONE! That is not a small Oops, that is a MASSIVE problem. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
