Not for the reasons you think. I freaking love Hawken,I'd be playing right now if I could.

I just got into an accident I might lose a finger so ultra sad face ill hopefully be back in 3 months plus and if you ever see me please have mercy as I will be playing with a major handicap with playing using the wsad keys. Guess ill have to make a new account when I get back so I can play with level one people as I can't dodge and move at all and lollerskates only lvl one people tend to stare at you. I hope The devs make more options for disabled people in the future in order to widen the potential audience (of course after the game is properly balanced) good luck devs!

Also sorry for fuzzy bunny grammar and spelling, one handed ipad typing is hard.

I think you may have to re-learn how to play games.  Losing the index finger is a pretty big deal.

That sucks bro, what about getting one of those on handed keyboards or something?  I hear there's all sorts of ways people with handicaps get around with gaming.  Maybe try playing hawken with a controller so you only need to use your thumbs.

Dude that sucks.

Switch to your ring finger for w and s, your pinky for and middle for d. Your fingers will adapt surprisingly quickly.

Bind shift to a thumb button on your mouse. Since you will struggle to use keyboard keys for actions and items I would suggest getting a mouse with lots of thumb buttons like the razer naga.

Lets just hope you keep that finger intact though.

Best of luck.

You'd be surprised how quickly you will adapt. It'll take days not weeks to retrain your fingers and transfer your muscle memory to the new configuration (whatever one you settle one - experiment and see how different ones feel)

My mother needed knuckle surgery for athritis and they replaced her knuckles with prosthetic gel. She had her hand in a cast for 4 or 5 months. After the first week she became a lefty and still is now.

=(

you only said that you "might" lose it, so there's still a chance you won't?

Freaking car crushed two of my fingers against a wall when it moved backwards. Could have sliced my fingers off too. Hard to explain though bec its kinda weird what happened.

im sorry, it's not a xel naga. some reason, the xel naga temple popped out of no where, it's from starcraft series.

but any gaming mouse will do.  a gaming mouse with buttons.  u can bind one of those buttons to ur D and F keys.

it'll take some time, but i think with enough practice, you'll play exactly how you used to.  i switched SHIFT and SPACEBAR to reduce the tension on my left hand.  i didn't work it out hard enough, so my left is weaker than my right.

If you DO lose your index finger, then pinky/ring/middle on WASD, bind boost to V. I only suggest V because in that position it seems easy enough for me to hit either V or spacebar without hitting the other, and if you need to air dodge (the only situation where you'd need to press both at the same time) you can press down on V and space at the same time easily enough. Bind items to mouse thumb buttons.

EDIT: Left Alt for boost might work as well, actually seems more comfortable to me now that I mess around with it for a bit.

Hmmm, maybe you could start using a lefty mouse and play left handed now?
