My fingers started hurting after a bit, but then I just made a simple little autohotkey script that turned my mouse buttons 4 and 5 into rapid fire buttons 1 and 2. Problem solved and I don't have to navigate the horrible UI with a controller!
I went to an XBox controller I had laying around. The problem then became loosing target lock since the left trigger operates your hotbar. Means I am hitting random mobs everytime I turn around and getting swamed. I have opted to not buy the game as well because of the crappy UI, lack of powers, roles, and crappy CC.
You do know that LB and DPad L or R will switch targets, and LB will lock target? I think you have to go into the settings menu and pick auto lock target, then you can just switch targets with LB and Dpad, or tap LB and should switch targets.
PC with a controller is the way I prefer to play. Easier on my hands and if you take some time actually learning everything you can do with the controller layout its pretty simple to play.
LOLOLOL carpal tunnel after 3 days? Are you fkn serious? bahaha
Seriously, the twitching you are experiencing is crack withdrawls.
I played this game for 3 weeks straight fairly hardcore with a kb/m and I'm fine.
aye correct, and most likely it isnt Carpel Tunnel (doctor sends me to neurologist). But that doesnt change the fact it delivered me a muscle injury.
and who told you it was a muscle injury as most twitching is caused by nerve issues? Don't talk about something you have no idea about. If the game hurt you in anyway it is because you're playing it wrong. Most people are playing as a clickfest when its like any game you click, wait for animation is near end, click, etc etc. It is not hard or difficult to play physically as I met someone in beta who was to their admission 65 and playing with arthiritis (yet had no problem playing) that would imply you are in worst shape which seems a bit sad.
I played the BETA for 3 days and believe it or not, but I developed finger twitches which might turn out to be Carpel Tunnel Syndrome.
This made me doubt about the future of action based MMO's. The button bashing style of gameplay will be devestating for your fingers... and especially since were talking about MMO's. Even if your posture is correct and you have a good keyboard/mouse setting it is still very dangerous.
I had the same problem before with many games.
So to release your pain do your self a favor and buy some razor equipment.
i just did recorded macros with my logitech. the mouse clicks got boring fast.

I changed my mind about my post because I was afraid I might get banned for my suggestion on the mouse auto keys which was what I meant. I could not delete the post hence my rather puzzling post sorry.

Ya right... lets bring a game that play itself to all the lazy dumbs out there...
