seriously, why was F-key navigation removed? anyone else raging over this?
I asked this question in one of the first TL asks Blizzard threads ages ago... blizzard's response was like "we are still seeing if this can be implemented or some such vague answer". Now beta is out and F-keys are absent. t.t
LINK to my battlenet post regarding this matter.

Completely agree, also you can't alt-hotkey to focus on that hotkey anymore... So basically you have to be double tapping your CCs. Quite annoying.

oh yea!!! I meant to mention this as well! this is no doubt due to ALT being used to display health bars... still it is unacceptable.

I am super annoyed that there are no F2 keys -_-

I never used alt hotkey but I'm sure there are some that are really used to it. I don't see why alt hotkey still couldn't be used even if it does show health bars for a brief second.
I never used any F keys really either. Always been a minimap clicker. F keys are too far imo, just hotkey structures

learning to use F keys was the only way I got half my BW wins since I relied on them to macro... especially when playing Z. it is such an amazing function. I was hoping SC2 would have f2-f8... instead they took it out. mind boggling.
for all those who find this appalling. please go spam BRING IT BACK in the link provided in the OP.

It doesn't make any sense to remove it. What was the point of that?

probably due to some war3 poll where most people said "not really useful toi have" but seriously, rage. lets unite and get this shit implemented.

This is probably unrelated, but the Diablo 3 dev team decided to not have a hotkey for weapon switch because "it's confusing for noobs, they accidentally hit the hotkey and wonder where the hell their weapons went." Of course, This decision caused much rage in D3 forums.
If they used the same logic for the F-keys in SC2, it would be beyond retarded, it's almost impossible to accidentally hit shift-F2 and then go "whoa why is my screen jumping around?" - 99% of starcraft players doesn't even know they exist! (on a related note, i had no idea about the alt-hotkey thing until now either). Noob-friendliness is the only reason i can figure out, otherwise it would just be a plain oversight.
Regardless, it should be extremely easy to implement, no? BRING IT BACK ;(
|
Blizzard is like "well if the retarded monkeys cant use it why should we ad it for the experts so they can seperate themselves from the retards"
Its like they want to make all people bads or something, I dont quite understand but I think the less stuff, the more shallow a game is the more noobs (mainstream) it will attract. Which means alot of people buy the game?
|
oh god i raged so much about this transfer scvs make me suicidal every time lol, clicking around on the map like a newb :d
|
BRING THEM BACK BLIZZARD. PLEASE
|
all people in rage.. go bump my post on the newb-attlenet forums here
|
I don't think they even do anything useful right now? (F2 F3 F4 or +shift) So, why the hell not :|
|
Yes the lack of F keys seems odd. Apparently its one of those things that Blizzard doesn't understand is important to the community. Or didn't understand when they started making the game.
It feels like Blizzard is willing to make the game as well suited for us fans as they can right now but they should have thought like that when they created the game engine aswell.

how did shift+F work? I guess it switched your screen to your nexi, but why shift+f and not just the Fs? Btw F1 is for your not-in-use workers, and in wc3 it was for your heroes (i played for years without knowing that, and only barely use them today oO)

I would really like to see them in SC2. I think they would be very helpful with the "action on multiple fronts" concept of the game.

iirc the f keys were supposed to be used for something else. that's why the arent here right now.
