17.4: At last: MULTIPLE HOTBARS coming with 17.4

Post by **Chrisax** » Sat May 05, 2007 7:44 pm

Players will now have access to multiple hotbars in the GUI. Up to ten separate hotbar banks will be able to be visible in the client GUI. The number visible will be able to be customised from the options menu.

Each bank maintains its ten lines of slots, so in total that's ten bars with ten lines of ten slots. This means you'll be able to have a hundred icons visible with a thousand that can be cycled through.

You will be able to toggle which of the ten bars is currently your active hotbar. (i.e. which hotbar accepts the keyboard shortcut commands)

For other details on 17.4, see here:

In other MMO's I have played with multiple Hotbars, the first bar is considered the "Main" and is accessable by keyboard shortcuts.

If that is the case, your "Main" bar becomes your fighting/healing hotbar, while all buffing, tradeskills, equipment, emotes, etc is placed on other hotbars.

I did some quick math and it seems that in the same space I currently reserve for 24 buttons in my "Actions" window will now hold 70. With the same functionality. About time.

And finally AO crosses the hotbar-finishline (the word sucks, I know) after only half a decade!

FC sure is pulling their act together, I just don't understand why people had to request for so many years. But I guess everyone can be forgiving over time.
