Nice post. Absolutely would like to see this fixed. It's really bizarre how it's always the hatchery hotkey too, right? haha.

Yes I'm actually surprised how long it took for someone to point this out.. I can pretty safely say I've lost games because of this.. I mean overwriting your hatchery hotkey and rebinding your entire army to "4" unintentionally in the heat of battle is a pretty big deal.. especially when I go to hit "4" "S" to select drones and end up stopping my entire army in the middle of a retreat or battle... yea not a good thing.. very frustrating.

I am not really sure if I did understood everything correctly or if this even been corrected but I think the hotkeys bottons arent that much of any issue.

If I have to move my army somewhere, I always use the mini map. Maybe it is just a factor of how big your screen is. I can see how annoying it could be to click the groups instent of moving down.

As far as im concerned, I prefer to use the grid instent of the standar hotkeys. Soon they will be customisable in patch 1.2 so you will be able to change the keys around and get rid of the overlord sack problem. Things are more visual with the grid. You dont have to remember what letter is adressed to what. It works just like if you transposed the commands on your keyboard. Took me a little while to change from standar to grid because of larva vomit but it is much easier now.

About the larve, I don't know what dinamic was fixed into it but I do like the fact that the eggs are easilly clickable now. No idea if you noticed, but you can actually give orders to the egg right after it is created. I always place my workers around before they hatch to get the best mineral income as possible.

For the larvas, I find 0, q, q much more convenient for doing drones. You can just wait at the 0 step and check on your larva count from the icon then press qq. I usually just leave my finguer on q so as soon as I have the larva or the mineral to build my drones it goes into larva and drone automatically. No need to continiously spam your keyboard and paranoid under your hatchery for larvas.

Hope this was helpfull.

I concur with this thread! I hate this and am actually surprised they haven't added functionality to prevent this from happening in Patch 1.2.

Blizzard, help!

yeah, happened to me all the time

i'm not sure, but it didn't occur since i checked "unclickable menubar" (or whatever it is in the english version). i'm not sure if it's turned off, or if i just happen to not click it anymore.

maybe someone could confirm this.

Yes this is quite annoying, too bad it doesn't seem to be getting much attention. Hopefully Blizzard will fix this in the future.

It's because there isn't much awareness at all on this because it's happened to me before and I honestly though I had somehow in my spam of finger banging my keyboard, had overridden the hotkey itself.

I actually went back in a replay awhile back where I wanted to find out 'when' I overwritten my hatcheries hotkey because I wanted to know how long it had been and never made that connection on why I would be 'holding' control at all during that point of the game other than finger spasms.

I have tendency (As most Brood War Zerg players do I would assume) to not look at my base at all for a full minute when a lot of other things are going on (SC2 Queen injecting with mini map) and that's a long time to not produce 'anything' if you expect your hotkey to still be there.

---------------------

TL;DR should be fixed.

The reason I like the feature is because a lot of newer players to sc2 will be able to learn how the mechanic works, but yeah, make it toggleable for the vets.

I totally support this thread.

I have lost more than once to those stupid icons. Generally with me I lose 6 (my rax) and replace it with units, completely ruining my ability to macro up my core units before going back to base and laboriously re-hotkeying all the rax.

I should be able to turn it off. Seems like a minor change.

I have often changed my hotkeys without me knowing how the hell it happened. This is probably one (not only one) reason why it happens.

OMG +1 dude, this has happened to me so many times, and the really annoying this is I never knew what was going on, I do it sooo often when I'm drunk and I thought I was just an F-ing retard and pressed crtl+5 during battle cause I was drunk. But after reading this thread I realized it's this stupid shit...

Oh yea and it is strange how it's always 5 for me, never any other key just 5 ><.

Blizzard Please FIx This!

Yes this should be changed ASAP.

There is another "feature" for Zerg just as annoying and stupid, the hatchery rally points can be reset?!?! Why does this feature even exists?

If you right click on the hatchery 3 times or more it resets the rally points! I know some will say don't right click on the hatch (which I don't do as much because I'm aware of the problem now) but you could be microing some units on your mineral line or you might simply be spamming commands and next thing you know your rally points are reset. The point is, there is no reason for the rally points EVER to be reset. Especially the mineral rally point! This "feature" is just as annoying as accidentally right clicking on a hot key tab in the heat of battle.

So in recap: (in case Blizzard reads this)

* Right clicking on a hot key tab should NOT re-program your hot keys!

* Right clicking 3 times on your hatchery should NOT reset your rally points!

* And lastly, could Zerg please get a 3rd rally point for overlords?
Pretty please? it drives me nuts trying to select my units under my OLs, and it's not like OL can quickly move out of the way! I feel sometimes I get the OL speed upgrade just so I can move them the hell out of my way.

anyone else notice how blizzard's 'convenient' hotkey features actually fuck over players? e.g. hotkey bar, notification popups on the side, d for drop, hatchery reset, etc -_-

I obviously agree with all of the above. But about the third one I'm wondering...

Can you select larvae, spawn 3 OV, right-click somewhere to have them rally there, then spawn whatever with the rest and still have these larvae follow the default rally points?
Or maybe select larvae, VVV, right click, select larvae, whatever.

Still troublesome, but it could be a very handy habit.

Ahhh, most useful necro ever haha ^^
I agree, it should be disableable. It's really sick for replays and visual organization, but the clicking is useless.
