Careful changing W for Protoss since that is currently your Warpgate key. Unless you have some other setup in mind... | ||

In the meantime, we cannot condone, and must strongly advise against, the modification of MPQs. Manipulating these files is in violation of the game's Terms of Use and may cause your account to come under scrutiny by some of our cheat and hack detection software. Of course, it's not our intention to remove someone's access to the game for simply trying to get custom hotkeys to work, but the workaround proposed can open a player up to these sorts of situations. We ask that you please wait for the proper and official addition of custom hotkeys to be added to the game." "I can try to confirm for you whether or not mouse buttons (including the scroll wheel) will also be customizable. I may not be able to return with an answer instantly, but I will definitely ask on your behalf." I, for one, am ecstatic. I thought that this was a silly feature to disallow in a 2010 PC game, regardless of standards set by Brood War. Perhaps I can finally use grid hot-keys. Couldn't handle having attack on T. With key bindings presumably saved to the battle.net account, it will finally provide a reason this battle.net thing is worthwhile-- pro-gamers won't have to set up their custom hot-keys every time they go to a tournament.  Want this much more than a clock. Patch 1.2 is looking increasingly heaven sent. they mentioned custom keys months ago actually. | ||

That's probably the only worthwhile change though. | ||

they announced that like in the first 1/3 of beta? then they removed the ability to just put a key.txt in the folder to edit the keys and forced people into mpq editing. now 5 month later they come out "hey dont do it! or we might steal 60$ from you! you will get customkeys! soon! maybe..." its nothing to be "ecstatic" about. its something that could be implemented within days but got handled in the worst possible way. people have such a short term memory :/ | ||

To be honest, I am not so very much surprised. Sure, Battle.net 0.2 was even worse than I anticipated, but from a purely commercial point of view, Blizzard did the thing they knew would work: bring in the cash first, care about the players later. Imagine yourself knowing the rather underwhelming aspects of the game (hotkeys, no chat, etc) at start before you bought it: would that have changed anything ? Would you really have said "Screw it, I'm waiting half a year for them to have improved most of the basic stuff before I buy the game and let all other players have an advantage of half a year of multiplayer experience on me ?" Blizzard's leadership and marketing department knows players mentality from their experience with past games, and no matter how much the game developers themselves might wish to put some finishing touches on the product and make very basic things like hotkeys and chat work; when the guys up top say "Release the game NOW!" then that is what will happen. And time and time again, we all (including me) prove them right. | ||
