More Hotbars

[Granger]

You can invoke most stuff through keyboard shortcuts, look at the tooltip of the buttons on the menu you'll see one character with a different color - posting that key will click that thing (if it is visible and you don't have a text input active).

yes- devs have already solved problem without multiple hotbars

Use them then .

I want the hotbars in the official client. The one the devs are getting paid to work on.

lol you are a little uppity bitch arent you? If you respect the devs so much don't give them more workload when they have more important tasks at their hands.

if I'm that, then what does that make you?

Yes you can, but I would like more hotbars. I don't generally like using keyboard shortcuts, for instance in a game like world of warcraft id rather click the button than remember a shortcut key.

You are free to compile you own client and add all the hotbars you want.

Yes but this is a suggestion thread to suggest it be added to the official client, or is that against the rules as well? I think you are a bit off topic with your posting. I wonder what it takes to be a mod on this forum, lol. Perhaps I'm reading the replies wrong but it seems like a pile on against me simply because I'm asking for optional hotbars to be added to the official client.., really? Very childish replies in this thread seriously. A lot of keyboard warriors on here at this time it seems. I would love to use a custom client that has all the features I want, but the sticky states you can't trust them, therefore I don't want to use them, and believe me if I could make my own client I would, I tried before I even made this topic but I honestly have no idea how to do so.

All except evilboy666 (who already saw the error of his way) have given helpful answers toward the problem you brought up. Might not be the ones you like, though...

There are only two devs. And no matter how much money we give them, they, like us, have only 24 hours a day to do things (including sleeping). As such, most of us would prefer if the developers spent their time on creating things that do not already exist (such as multi-hotbar support).

Multi-hotbar support is a feature used only by "power users". For the grand majority of the vanilla client users (that is, >95% of them), it is an entirely irrelevant feature. Most serious players use custom clients to supply the advanced features they need. As such, the developers would be wasting precious development time on a feature only a tiny minority will ever use. I hope you can see why most of us disagree with this idea, all the more because there are already keyboard shortcuts providing better functionality. (I use a custom client and I don't even use all ten of my default hotbar slots.)

travel to my hearthfire

A->H->H

light a fire

A->G, though I strongly recommend using a Torch instead or using a campfire and lighting sticks on fire to get firebrands

make a mirkwood

C->U->R->M

Just use them. You'll get used to them in no time.

There's a lot of buttons in this game, and it would be extremely useful to have more hotbars on the screen as an option, please? I don't want to have to use a custom client for it considering there's a stickied posts by a dev stating that you can't trust custom clients.

The default client comes with ~150 slots. It's just awkward to use. You can change belt rows via alt+[0-9].
You can also change to F keys via: ':belt f' or back to numbers with ':belt n'.

He should have just added in buttons to allow changing of belts and allow multiple belt types to be opened at once (ie: both F keys and number, etc).

Years later and we still need this. Please consider.
