I am reviving older closed suggestions. It should not be hard to have multiple hot key bars. It takes no additional screen realestate. Just cycle through with a function key or CTRL key. I would love a total of 5 bars. More makes it more of a pain to cycle through quickly, unless you assign hot keys to specific bars.
For me, I’d have my first bar as my standard hide/meat hunting gear:
- axe
- shield
- bow
- arrows (so I can watch my arrow count)
- heals
- skinning knife
- cleaver
- Pickaxe
Then my thrall hunting bar:
- Axe
- shield
- weak bow blunted
- arrows (for the count)
- heals
- chains
- bludgeon
- religeous tool
Then a boss hunting bar, which has a mashup of weapon types
4th would be a gathering bar, with all my picks and hatchets (probably a torch too).
Finally the construction/utility bar, that I use for placing thralls, pets, and all the various construction pieces.
I can’t be the only one that is amazed how often we have to go into inventory to swap around items on our hot bar. This is a QoL upgrade that should not have any negative impact to all the players that think 8 slots is plenty or already too much, unless they simply are uncomfortable with other people feeling happy about a life improvement that does not improve their own lives.
Let’s keep fighting for this!!
