Hello,
 
 
I was wondering if there is an ETA on when we will be able to rebind the WASD stunbreak combo to other keys?
 
 
I use a Logitech G13 to play, which has a thumbstick for movement. Needless to saying hold all three directions at the same time on a thumbstick is impossible. The ability to rebind the WASD stunbreak keys will be majorly game changing for me!

·         Fixed an issue where the player's game region settings would get set to the default settings when starting the launcher.
 
Thank you for this! It was so annoying  :)

			If the game says the realms are up, then why when i try to login it says no realm available or it give a network connection error

Think beta is over bro.
----
			Yeah, I had an issue with the stuns as well. I completely removed WASD from movement so most of the stun breaks went to the arrow keys, but sometimes there are those oddball keys that are still over in the WASD area which are impossible to reach for quick reaction times. Either being able to rebind them or possibly just having two sets to swap between, one for arrow keys and one for WASD might work. 	
----
			Excellent job with the constant updates.

This is line from UPDATE NOTES: 5/21/2014
Challenges that were granting faction reputation no longer do so.And this is from today's build:
Reputation earned from completing Challenges should also grant reputation with linked factions (such as "The Dominion" or "The Exiles").Does this mean, that i can't get any faction reputation directly from challenges, but every challenge that gives any reputation now will give some amount (same?) of my faction reputation?	
----
			How are you all playing? I am confused. I though beta was over?

"Stealth  o   Can no longer be used while casting."
 
Tested and i can still go to stealth, while casting mount for example.	
----
			Any plans to add more customization to some of lesser played races? mordesh, granok.	
----
			Nothing on group interface :-(	
----
			
Good job guys! Now please optimize, Optimize, OPTIMIZE!!!
Some of us shouldn't have to play the game as a power point presentation, despite having modern PCs!	
----
			
Guess Ill be the bad guy here....all that is great I guess for the patch.
But umm /who doesnt work, at all. Why has that not been fixed? Chat stuff is important.
Finding people is important. This isnt a troll post at all. Im being serious. That should of been in the list
and everything relating to chat problems.

I'm disappointed!!
 
I only had to scroll my mouse wheel like 6 times to get through these notes.   It's going to be hard to top the patch notes from the start of Ops week :P	
----
			Any chance of a button to skip the tutorial....small ask :)

"Thundercall Storm-Weaver, Sentinel Shaman: Increased AA damage"
"Thundercall Sentinel: Increased damage of Shockwave"
"Increased Stormtalon's health to 225k"
 
Yeees yeeees :D keep increasing dificulty in anything possible, more and more challenging content! Keep it coming!!

			Is it possible to shorten the 30 sec logoff countdown? I always use alt+f4 and relog to switch characters. Its faster that way. But a little annoying though.

I logged in first time since the very end of open beta and I only have one piece of criticism so far.
Sometime since open beta, the appearance of the starting Exile heavy foot armor has been changed, and I'd like to request it get returned to it's previous appearance. Namely, the "Exile's Steel-Toes".
Previously, they were a rather modest pair of what looked like socks, and they made a nice accessory for building "casual" clothes sets in the costume builder. 
Now, they visually appear bulked up just a touch, and have been given these really bizarre frilly turned-down tops, while remaining distinctly heel and toeless ( which seems derpy for something called Steel-Toes).
The result is a really unattractive look that doesn't sit well with me, match the rest of the Exile's starter clothing, or lend itself well to creating costumes.
Those boot-tops totally screw this image up for me. Maybe it's just because my character is female and it looks better on a guy, but I feel that this little change has really done nothing except spoil the flexability of this one little shoe's ability to serve as a versatile costume accessory for those of us who care about cosmetics.
Anyway, thanks for considering this one little gripe of mine, and I'm really enjoying the changes I've already been seeing all over the place.
 
Edit: I noticed one other weird thing, and this is probably way more important. In my personal housing, all the floor pieces that I had added have all moved straight upwards about half a meter since the last time I was here. Considering I have an entire second house that is almost entirely constructed with "Exile's Floor" decor, this would be a really annoying thing to have to fix in the final version of the released game. I'm hoping that this is just an artifact of a patch and it won't become a regular occurrence, and that it's not any indication of some sort of gradual data corruption over time, or whatever.
Anyway, no big deal right now. It's just something that would be horrible to see happen to someone once this game goes live. We're talking hours of work putting that all back where it belongs.

Could this potentially cause a crash loop (ie. a player's Addon forces the game to crash, upon logging back in the player may only select the same character upon logging back in, and the addon crashes again etc.) or will the player have to switch to another realm and character to disable an addon in order to relog back into the old character in the case of my examp

Please bring back the option to set renderTargetScale to value above 1
With that value set to 2 the game lokked amazing and in my computer fps were still very good
Please allow us to be able to make you're game look as good as it deserves.
 
 
I think that punishing people with high end computers is not the way to things right, I'm an enthusiats of your game
and of many other mmorpgs so please take this into account for sure it should be very easy for you "the devs" to bring that option back and allow your customers the choice to play with the widest range of graphics options available.
Thanks

Kudos on the latest patches.  
 
* Crit-triggered abilities much easier to identify when active now
 
* Not sure I am a fan of the quest log ignore feature after abandoning a quest.  However, it is MUCH more efficient to dump old quests now
 
Thanks!

With the changes you made recently the game is now really fluid, nearly no more FPS losses
 
Edit : you also fixed the issue where Mouse Button 4 for auto walk was ignored, great job, game feels much more reactive now

			Made a new exile character. The opening cutscenes with the ark ship wasn't subtitled. The one where the cryo pod was subtitled though.

			Excellent work... one question though:  When do you plan to work on the current issues stemming from DX11 usage (so a majority can stop having to force "-dx9")?

No word on bugged quests in the early zones?  These have been posted numerous times in Bug Reports forum throughout Open Beta and OpsWeek and cause a lot of unnecessary zone-chat complaining about the bugs.  These are early in new player experiences and I think it is important to not hit them up with bugged quests so often in the early leveling process.
 
Current list of Dominion bugged quests I could gather (not just "I once had a problem with them" but bugged so that no one can complete them as of OpsWeek):
 
Deradune "Fights of Passage" (works at server reset but boars eventually stop triggering the event)
Ellevar "Ravaging Ravenoks" (bate not spawning for final quest in series)
Ellevar "Undermining Operation" (mining drill to zone into Prosperity Caverns is not click-able like it used to be)
Auroria "Black Hoods" episode (intro quest not comm-called to players, so rest of episode is not obtainable)
Kel Voreth "Into the Flames" (can't turn in to NPC inside)
Whitevale "Wigwali Treasure" (can't turn in to NPC, can only convert to rep, quest stays in log)
 
Not a single lvl 1-30 zone is without a bugged quest of some kind that prevents players from finishing the zone and the game is about to launch.  I really want  new players to have a positive experience and stick with the game, but having so many bugged quests before even hitting lvl 30 is troubling.
