Issue:
My weapon selection takes up more than 1 quickbar and when I swap from Right Hand to Ranged or 2H I need more than a single quickbar to change pages at the same time. Currently this requires multiple /qbar macros to perform.

Recommended Solution:
Please expand the /qbar command such that bank number can set multiple quickbars to a fixed page.
Example
/qbar # 1 = bar 1 will change to page #
/qbar # 2 = bar 2 will change to page #
/qbar # 3 = bar 3 will change to page #
/qbar # 4 = bar 1 and 2 will change to page #
/qbar # 5 = bar 1 and 3 will change to page #
/qbar # 6 = bar 2 and 3 will change to page #
/qbar # 7 = bar 1, 2, and 3 will change to page #


Issue:
If Ctrl and Alt are selected as modifiers then when those are pressed the game ignores my movement commands and my character stops moving.

Recommended Solution:
Movement keys should ignore modifiers. If W = move forward, then Alt+W, Ctrl+W, Shift+W, ect should all be the same "move forward" command.

You can already change between pages using a macro... I'm not sure what you're after?

also if you change alt/ctrl key set as modifier in the command window you'll no long stop moving when you press them...

The amount of qbinds/macro's etc in this game is brilliant and I see no reason to start changing it now.


edit : for my first point using Qbar 1 for example, swapping between bank 1 to bank 2

/macro MACRONAME /qbar 2

Hitting that key will then take you to a whole new set of bars...

Or you can use Shift + # to change bank within Qbar 1

Ctrl + Shift + # to change bank within Qbar 2

Alt + Shift + # to change bank within Qbar 3

All can be macro'd to be made quicker if you wish...

I don't see how this needs to be changed?

You missed the point. If expanded I could do a "/macro LW /qbar 2 4" which would set both quickbar 1 and 2 to page 2 where all my large weapon abilities are available in a single key press.

In present game I would need two macros "/macro LW /qbar 2 1" and "/macro LW /qbar 2 2" and a min of 2 button presses to do this.

Something tells me that if you have 2 Qbar's worth of styles for LW... you're doing it wrong

Put abilities that you will always need like BL's, instas etc on Alt/Ctrl bars and Qbind them

Qbar 1 should be for styles and at no point, solo or group, should you need more than 10 melee styles on your bar especialy as a tank. My NS uses 1 bar and I have 3 different melee lines to take styles from...

It sounds to me more of a personal layout issue rather than the bar system needing to be re-worked.

I don't mean this as a flame either

If you organise your bars better and Qbind more styles to free keys (F1-12?) then you can easily achieve what's necessary with the current bar mechanics

Unbind keys like P K etc and so on that take you to things like the spell page (something you can easily click on as you'll never need to open it in combat)

What is comfortable for me isn't the same as for you. Same goes for what each of us believe is right/wrong for ourselves. This change wouldn't hurt your game play in anyway, so why exactly are you arguing?

I'm not arguing

I'm putting it into reality for you that what you are asking for isn't going to happen

So I've tried to give you advice how to better setup your bars

Why are you being so dismissive/defensive?

You don't know it isn't going to happen. The whole point of these macro and /-commands are to allow me to setup your interface to what is comfortable for me, not so I have to conform to someone elses play style.

I have 18 different weapon style attacks (9 S/S, 9 LW), 3 debuffs, a snare , and a nuke. That is 23 bar slots before /qbinds, RAs, sprint, items, short buffs, ect.

So yeah, I have 2 bars of LW and 2 bars of S/S and my life would be a hell of a lot easier if an easy change was made to the game to which I suggested here. I just don't get why people make a big deal when people make minor suggestions.

This is a 10 year old game that has ONLY just had a slight overhaul and still has plenty of current bugs that need working on

You honestly think they're going to re-work the Qbar mechanics at this stage of the game?

My point was a valid one and was something that you could get to work on right now rather than waiting for a change the may/may not ever happen

You choose not to adapt then fine

You choose to make a thread like this and not accept/consider the comments and get all defensive.... why make the thread?!

Again you continue arguing about something that has no effect on you. We still pay a monthly fee and Mythic still takes suggestions. I made a suggestion. Move on.

If you wish to make a suggestion without criticism then use the herald /feedback

Posting here opens up your idea for criticism and feedback.

If you can't handle being given some advice and ideas yourself then I would recommend you give up suggesting things to others~
