ИДЕЯ ДЛЯ РИЗОМА

I hope this was meant as sarcasm. It is certainly not a question that has anything to do with the UI interface.

If we speak about interface woes, one of most woeful things is inability to switch weapons/equipment via hotkey. It would be logical to equip mag amps when I switch to magic part of bar, and then it could be handy to switch to sword when I'm changed shortcut bar to another one, filled with melee actions. Yet, there is no any way to switch weapon (and preferrably other equipment) via hotkeys, as far as I figured out. This is really strange, granted how convenient action toolbar switching happens.

The argument I've heard in the past is that quick-switching would somehow "aid botting"; never got satisfactory details though.

More likely, there is neither interest in this nor dev power to address. Client-side problems have been ignored for the longest time now.

Having autoswitch depend on the action might have undesirable side effects. Sometimes I *do* want to cast a spell while hanging onto my sword. Also really difficult to sense (without clicking) what "bar" is up. Most of my bars have mixed actions in them. (The exception being my digging bars, and you can already do auto-equip for a pick. (SYSTEM > Game configuration > Interface > HUD.) Unfortunately it auto-equips bare hands for magic or fighting, and if you have mobs on/near your digging spots you can aggro a mob very easily. )

Having a hot-key would be fine as long as the equippage time is still included, but would clearly make it much easier to use alts and, if one is using a key-stroker program, make botting easier. (Such use is illegal. Do not try this at home.)

Agreed. I have been know to cast with my spear or pick in hand on purpose. And when I melee, I don't always go for the same weapon; maybe my spear, maybe my daggers.... the client has no way of knowing my intentions. However, it's rare (not unheard of, merely rare) that I target Gerder and cast Double-Electricity 5 while in dig gear, so auto-equipping because I got the wrong action bar would cause me more problems than it would solve. And trust me, I am pretty good at causing myself problems without the UI guessing wrong about what I'm trying to do.

Right, not sure if this has been discussed already, but I'm having terrible problems with comparing two different items. For instance, if I want to replace my boots with another pair I cannot open two windows to compare their stats, neither does the game highlight the ups and downs of the stats from the new boots I want to equip compared to the one I'm already wearing.
This makes trying to find what armour to wear very tedious.

There's a red pin at the upper right of the stats window, if you click and open another stats window, the old rests

This is a quote from three years ago that still hasn't been implemented. Today again I almost got myself killed because I forgot to leave the chatbox. I clicked on an enemy and tried to attack, but instead was just typing characters in chat. It's really simple. Clicking inside the chatwindow should activate it, clicking outside the window should deactivate it. Chatting is a low priority activity and should not interfere with gameplay.

idk about that, some people login only to chat :D

Actually, if you click on a foe and then *click* on the actionbar items you can do both, but it's not an optimal solution.  I don't know why it hasn't been implemented, but I suspect it may be trickier than we think, because it is *still* a major cause of death.  :)

Its fixed in new client starting from 6561 or higher.

Cool!! That should be trumpeted from the battlements along with instructions on how to get the new client!

I never use the mouse cursor to select mobs, can the spacebar be used to exit chat? Ohwaitthatwouldn'tworkverywell......

found an error related to webIG and the app bar:

after adding some apps from app zone (also having guild only and personal apps) the app bar will not display all apps added, and becomes scrollable, no matter how much you scroll, you never find the missing apps (yet when you open the webIG window with "shift+w" they will show up fine, sometimes after a relog the webIG window will also be scrollable with no end and still missing app icons) (changing the layout of the app bar doesn't help either) should also note that if you scroll the app bar down too far, the client will freeze up and you must kill the process and re-log. (similar to how the forums used to do with long posts viewed IG)

screen shots with bug:

here if you look you will see the scroll bar hidding behing the "achievements" icon. you will also notice a blank between the BM app and the molly's materials icon. the apps missing between those are: guild register and hang-homin. none of the other apps i have (personal or guild only) are showing up at all.


if i scroll a little on the app bar:



screen shot without bug: (seams to only happen when some apps are added, those that don't show up in app bar in the first pic) (blacked out personal and guild only apps)



----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------

an option to customize the layout, what apps and icon's are shown, the order of said apps and icons, as well as the ability to change the size of the bar by clicking on the border and dragging would be very nice as well, but these are just ideas. (the error is the main focus of the post, these "tweaks" are just on my wish list)
