Key mapping bug

Assign - when you go to play, they don't work.
The key assignment system is confusing.

If you have a key assigned, there is no logic --- there are no inscriptions. If you assign everything, you go to the game and nothing works.

there's no description of the key, or it doesn't make sense.
It's not entirely clear which keys you're having an issue with assigning. Are you talking about assigning skills to keys in the option menu? Or are there other keys that you're having trouble with?



In the case that it is regarding assigning skills to keys:

The game has 13 skill slots that you can assign skills to, which correspond to the skill bar in the bottom right of the screen while you're in-game (see the screenshot in the thread you linked to).

The way the game is designed, you don't assign a key to a specific skill. You have to assign a key to a skill slot in the options menu (in English, these are the "Use Bound Skill #" bindings), then assign a skill to that skill slot via the skill bar.

Skills 1-3 are always displayed on the upper row of the skill bar, and are bound to the mouse buttons by default.
Skills 4-8 are displayed on the bottom row of the skill bar, and are bound to QWERT by default.
Skills 9-13 are displayed on the bottom row of the skill bar while holding the key bound to "Toggle Skill Set" (Control by default), and their default bindings are Ctrl+Q, Ctrl+W, etc.

The key assigned to a skill slot is also displayed at the bottom of the icon on the skill bar. Are you not seeing labels on the skill bar indicating which button to press for that skill slot?


Thank you for the rather complex text

The only thing that can be said is that the developers have made the system of assigning keys truly fool. GGG employs programmers, not designers who are obliged to study the psyche.

Thanks for convesation and good luck
