Dear Funcom,
I would like to request on behalf of (I can only imagine) the greater community for an updated/new UI and hotbars. Having 8 slots is just, well, not good enough. If you look at most standard MMO’s, the hotbars for starters go to the = (not the 8) and you can have at least 4x that amount visible at once.
I am using probably the only mod that adds additional hotbars and whilst it vastly improves upon the original UI, it’s still lacking.
If you could please make the change, I am sure that we would all appreciate it. Thanks again for a great game and hope to see these improvements.
10 slots in the hotbar would be nice. With that much I could put 1 1h weapon + 1 shield + 1 2h weapon + 1 bow + 1 skinning knife + 1 pickaxe + 1 water skin + 1 stack of food + 1 stack of healing potion + 1 torche. I don’t need anything more in a hotbar and I’ve no use for more hotbars. Sometimes if I expect to take bleeding and other nasty effects in a fight I could change food for healing wraps. But most of the time I only use them when the fight is finished or I sucessfully ran away, so it isn’t a problem to open my inventory to use them.
With the actual 8 slots I don’t put a shield and the pickaxe in it. Or for gathering ressources I replace the bow and skinng knife by the sickle and the pickaxe.
2 weapons of your choice, 2 slots of pots, 1 slot for antidotes, 1 slot for feasts, 1 slot for throwing axes and another slot for something of your preference.
