Alpha 1 and 2

[WWDragon]

Someone please explain what are they when you are playing with mouse and keyboard?
I've gotten a few cards that require them, but no idea. :-o

It's referring to the numbers 1 and 2 on your keyboard.

Don't feel so bad, it confused the hell out of me too. :p

lol I dunno why the devs called it that. I'd have called it number key 1 and 2.

But that would be too easy! I think the Devs just wanted to meddle with our minds a little. It will be changed in the future I believe considering so many people get confused by this.

Well the alpha numbers are the ones above the letters (1 above Q, 2 above W etc.), the numpad numbers are the ones on the numpad (the numbers on the right side of the keyboard). It's just how the buttons are called ^^

I'll take your word for that, but in all my time using computers I had never before heard them referred to as the "alpha" buttons, why must people make things so needlessly complicated! Next thing you'll be telling me they're not just called "F1", it's "Function 1" or whatever!

No one calls them that. -..-

Programmers call them that :) But yes, we'll fix it.

Huzza.

Btw I never did; I programmed, scripted and designed before.

Yeah, to me they've always just been the 'top' number keys.
