How do you do it!? I am honestly asking because I have a laptop and I literally cannot PvP or PvE well on chrome.
First of all, I can't view my surroundings as quickly as I can on a tablet. This is essential in PvP when you need to be quick and always on the lookout.
Secondly, it is very difficult to click skills and move at the same time. Is there any way to customize controls? How do Chrome users manage!?
Thanks,
Apollo
Ikr! I was going to make thread about it, how do you guys do it?
I'm pretty sure w,s,a,d keys allow you to walk around. Then just click the skills or press the numbers
Yeah, I know that, but on a laptop, the numbers are impractical to use for skills. Is there any way we can reprogram the hotkey set up to our liking?Quote:

You literally can't use the hotkeys and controls at the same time on a laptop. Why? Numbers 1-4 that activate skills are right above your movement keys (W, A, S, D) & screen rotation keys (Q & E). In PvP, since we need to be able to change camera direction, movement, and fire skills all at the same time, it just is extremely difficult to win on Chrome.Quote:

I only tried doing this once and it did not go so well. Like D-: said, it's basically impossible. screen rotation is pretty difficult too.
Kindle Fire HD replacement is shipping, so I'm giving the Kindle Fire one last shot.Quote:

I tried to PvE on iPhone 4, but OMG, has it gotten laggy and the ping gotten bad on that device! Jeez, idk what happened to it. I can't even type on it without the keyboard freezing.
Apollo forget what they all say they're nubs. On my laptop i click numb lock and am able to use the 4,8,6 and 2 for movement usually have chase camera or use Q amd E to rotate camera and can fire skills. Wish it was WASD and can use num lock to use for firing skills since im right handed.
Been doing it since i posted my thread about phone having bad digitizer lol
Sent using blood on a bathroom wall.
Only thing is though... macbook pros do not have a num lock. :/Quote:

Everytime I use a PC that has chrome on it, I log on to my Gmail account, Get inside Pocket Legends, and use WASD to move about. I toggled Disable Camera Effects, Toggle Skill Size and Minimap Zoomed out. Using those settings, I could simply use the mouse to precisely click onto which enemy my Autos should hit, And also to click on my skills for both PvE and PvP purposes.
What Wend and razer said,
additionally you could use two hands to play : one hand for WASD and the other hand for the num task (not num block), it might look dumb but does that matter? :D
Also I'd use the thumbs on the spacebar for Auto-Attack.
Attention: You cannot use a skill with the num task (further details on this later),
Here's a list of all hotkeys for the skills and usage of poitons:
1= Right Column bottom right
2= Right Collumn one above
3= One above
4= Right Column Upper Right
5= Middle Columbottom
6= One above
7= One above
8= Middle Column top
9= Left Column bottom
0= One above
?\-key = Red Poiton
`,-key = Blue Poiton (sorry tbh i'm not familar with american keyboards, what i mean are the keys right beside zero)
&
either +~*-key or #'-key = left column top/ upper left
that means the second skill slot of the left column can't be used with hotkeys. :(
Other hotkeys:
M= Minimap on/off
I= Inventory
C= Charakter
in SL additionally
R= Skill page switch
in DL (not 100% sure)
Q= Vampire Power
E or R= Blood Pack
Hope this helped you, and yeah i recommend to change your skill page if necessary. :)
Yeah,laptop is quite hard to play pvp.
I have tried on Chrome in desperation before but i simply cannot get on with it. My laptop doesn't have a number pad and my hands are all over each other! I walk like a robot and skills are random and uncoordinated (no...not my usual play style). I gave up and just bought extra batteries for my phone and a powerful charger!
At first, before I enlisted in the Army, I too had a hard time coordinating in Chrome, but as the months go by, and I began to have less and less time to spend everyday, I started to mainly play on Chrome. Trust me, you might not like the movements on Chrome, but trust me on this Apollo and TheHappiness, it WILL get better.Quote:

This makes it akin to my previous iPad experience, but better, and you don't have to worry about the default dictionary coming in to correct your mistakes in chat all the time. Here's some motivation for those of you that just recently tried out Chrome;

On a side note, I wish I can be reliefed from the army, too bad for me though, still have to serve my nation for at least 1 more year or so... now I'm simply gonna say "ORD LOOOOOOL!" as soon as my ORD date kicks in. =D
Thanks for the advice and motivation!Quote:

Looks like I've found the root of your problems with Chrome. =)Quote:

Spiral Knights trained me well with using a mouse to its full potential. I click on the skills rather than using 1234567890-=
Add in a mouse. PL on Chrome is hopeless without it xD
I use the regular keys for movement and view rotation. Everything else I use the mouse (Skills, Pots, etc)
Only problem with this is liquidation. Absolutely kills my wrist after a full inventory.
Yich hates me and flames me to heck....Quote:

On topic: apollo, you know macbook pro has no num lock? Our laptop, is connected to a PC, so everything you do on the Laptop will appear on the PC.
Congratz. Pl looks bigger on the PC screen.
Now for the num lock, i use an attached keyboard. The ones where you can go buy it and attach it to the computer. It makes it a little bit easier.
so i use the num lock which has a seperate place for numbers, and you can move with it.
As for the skills, im sorry to say that you cant replace the skills to your liking. i always use the mouse and click on the skills.
but its so annoying to keep clicking and moving...so i just use Tap to Move, i just click somewhere far away on the map, and i just click the skills while im going.
It all sounds like too much effort for me! I am obviously pro lazybones! Also...it doesn't sound fun....how am I going to eat chips and drink JD with both my hands tied (not literally) to the keyboard and mouse! Definitely never going to master this! Spare batteries ftw! ;pQuote:

ikr! its...just...TOO much! clicking on keys, moving, ugh. I only go on chrome to chat with friends. I use my galaxy player to play PL :DQuote:

I loved playing on an iPad, but the charger broke, so I play on a player.Quote:

Umm, what? Many have said, even Yich himself (who is an avid Chrome user), that it just isn't practical end game. Please, your ego is bruised, I know, but that shouldn't spur you to make even more posts that aren't thought through.Quote:

Thus, if he corrected you, it was for the person's benefit. There's nothing more too it, so please do not have such porcelain skin.
I'm not going to reply to anything else you have to say, as ignore list you go.

I had a problem, minor problem, with him because his advice was not neccessarily needed, death stated that 5 fire was "needed whether it was pre-forg or not", when i sustained a valuable time PvPing with 3 fire.Quote:
