    When you installed, there should be a Config launcher in your Start menu, although I think you get the same options there as in-game... not sure though.

    I only made it to level 2 Pugilist last night, and I had a bitch of a time figuring out how to assign Concussive Strike or whatever it's called to a hotkey. Not sure how you get skills yet other than leveling up, I haven't made it that far.

    I am pugilist rank 3 and I don't have concussive strike : ( is their a tut leve you have to do to be able to learn new skills? I did one leve and just ran around punching the shit out of marmots.

    I did literally nothing. When I was done with the boat scene at the beginning, I hit level 2, and the message box at the bottom left said so. It also said that I learned "Concussive Strike" or something along those lines, so I spent the next half hour trying to find it and subsequently add it to my hotbar.

    isn't it just in your attributes and traits then you add it right next to heavy strike?

    Go to your guild, they have skills, and traits that you can learn from them. But you need favor, which I think you get from doing that guilds leves, which I haven't figured out how to do yet.

    ALSO EVERYONE DOWNLOAD THE PRIORITY BOOSTER IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL ENHANCEMENT

    Yeah, but first I spent a couple minutes just figuring out how to get the menu open, hitting every key on my keyboard, before I realized there were little clicky buttons down at the bottom-right of the screen.

    Then once I found the menu and played around with it for a while, I went into Abilities or whatever the submenu was, and there was nothing there. It took me a bit to realize that there was a dropdown that I had to switch in order to see certain skills I guess.

    So while the "half hour" thing was hyperbole, it did take me longer than I was expecting to access my character traits...

    Can't argue with that, I think my experience is much enhanced by the controller mao guide on the beta site, it told e how to get all the menues open and how to enter and exit combat mode, movement and camera, target locking. Basically all the fundamentals of controls.

    Really, if you're going to be playing this game, just do yourself a favor and get a controller.

    I hate controllers, but square will never include good KBAM controls, they just don't understand them.
    Playing with my wired 360 controller is a much more enjoyable experience.

    Also: damn, I can't equip both exaltation and tranquility.

    I think this game might have the worst interface ever. Especially for an MMO.

    This is my gamepad setup and I think it's a pretty good one.

    Also improving your fps drastically improves the UI lag.

    For some reason you get a big fps drop when you open a sub-menu, so if your fps typically hovers around 20-30 it's going to spike down and you will experience an annoyingly noticeable delay when messing around in the menus.

    As thanks I will let you know that it is very important to have a high dex as a pug, rank 4 you get an attack that can only be used after a successful dodge. And it will say it's ready when you have the tp for it, even if you didn't dodge

    I wish leveling outside of leves was a bit more rewarding. Leves are a nice way to give a boost to players who can't play 24/7, but the leveling without them is so bad it makes me feel like I should just log off when I don't have a leve.

    Hopefully they'll reduce the cooldown or make grinding a little better
