I've never played WoW but you can probably find a key bindings section in Settings and see what you've got set for Attack. Maybe it defaults to a mouse button and you need to set a key if you're not using a mouse.

I finally found how to make her attack but she seems so slow. Once I set her on someone she attacks them all on her own and she basically sucks. Man, she is slow.

I remember feeling like auto-attack was too slow when I first started playing. It stopped bothering me when I realized there were other factors involved that determine how much damage you do and that most of your damage is done with your special abilities/spells anyway.

I have so much to learn. It's frustrating because there is so much I don't know how to do.

Really? WoW is the easiest MMO I've ever played. Maybe they're just not your bag.

Which class did you pick and what level are you up to?

Blood Elf, Paladin and I'm only on level 5. Easy? Easy? There is so much shit to learn, how can you call it easy?????


I've never played a MMO before. I'm not giving up.

Best way to learn is to play, and learn each little bit as things come up. Ask on Global chat if you have trouble.

Well, maybe it's not as easy as I think. I've always been interested in complexity and I've looked for it in games. Maybe I'm just used to dealing with a lot of variables at once.

Paladin is a decent one to start with. You might also try Druid, another jack-of-all-trades kind of class.. I recommend playing a class until at least level 15 or 20 until you decide whether you really like it or not.

And see if you can find and join a guild that's friendly to newbies. That's how I got a lot of help when I first started.
 
Thank you both for your input.


I have a beginners book that I need to read throughly. I know once I do, I will understand the ins and outs of the game a lot more. I also have this link to the game http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/guide/ that should help me to understand even more.
 
That online guide looks useful. I wish they had it when I started.

Doesn't it look useful?



I really want to understand everything about the game. I just need to actually start reading the whole thing. I've read bits and pieces.

You're the same as me, I like to understand everything. When I start a new game I spend ages in the starting area learning the controls, what each key does and what that thingie is and why is that other thing doing that. Sometimes I wish I could just loosen up a bit and just get playing.
 
Fired up Assassin's Creed IV the other day. Why, God, why do I continue to torture myself with this series?!?! On the one hand, I love that I get to explore a faithfully recreated era which I had little to know knowledge of. But the controls and the stupid sci-fi aspect just ruin it.

Yet I persist.

Maybe someday they'll actually tie in a decent story to it, but many games in and they haven't yet.

On Steam, I have so many unplayed one staring at me I don't know where to start. I picked Call of Juarez: Gunslinger out of the blue because the last Western I played was the legendary Outlaws.

Gunslinger actually does it justice, strangely enough. It's a basic FPS true enough, but there are several missions that bend and twist the perspective enough to keep things lively. One mission in particular is played three times from the viewpoint of three different people, only one of whom might actually have been there. Fun times.
