Volezlol Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Like the title says, when your companion is active, you dont have enough slots to fit in all your abilities..... This is beyond ridiculous and it makes me feel like insta unsubscribing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcimeister Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 And you need everything? Work on prioritizing your abilities instead of companing on the forums, maybe? More abilities = More ways to play your class. But in no way do you need to use even half of em. Sigh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incomprehensible Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Stop the clicky. Clicky is bad. You do not need every speeder and pet and relic and medpack and pet skill you always leave on and social and fleet recall and quest item on a hotkey. And if you really feel that you do, learn to use the hotkey page toggle. But really, stop the clicky! Get used to ESDF then bind everything.

Sneakymcstab Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It seems like everyone is completely ignorant of the fact you need ability bar slots to bind abilities to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzlybox Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Can anyone explain to me why 3 ppl randomly assume i click my abilities? I have no idea, either. I have every single skill hot-keyed and bound and at this point it's running down the left side of my screen, including pots and relics (WHICH FOR SOME REASON KEEP FALLING OFF MY ACTION BAR AHHHHHH). Right side is where I click my buffs. If ever there's a purge (or come across one, haven't seen it yet.), I'll hotkey those too. I'd love a 3rd action bar at the bottom center. And god forbid I actually bother to hit ` and micro my pet's CC's instead of auto-cast/toggle. Then I officially run out of space.

When your companion is active you only have 3 available bars which is not enough for all my abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your companion is active you only have 3 available bars which is not enough for all my abilities. That's the biggest problem. I absolutely hate how that bar just plain overwrites another. Even keybound abilities stop working. I hope they allow us to at least have the companion bar and a normal action bar side by side in the future. At least until companion abilities stop randomly turning themselves on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theMornox Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 hardcore pvper here (needs all abilities). i am stuck with having hotkeys to key combinations. the easy solution: macros (as in many dps rotations one macro would fit for 2 or 3 skills) companion bar is unneeded in my opinion, at 50 you are either grouped for flashpoints or in pvp areas, both dont allow companios. however it still should be possible to access all abilities, very true. the interface of swtor is FAR from finalized.

Nightfocus Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Heya , guys he aint rly stupid or a clicker , i use a lot of with the keyboard etc , BUT i still want to see the spells , timings etc , will need time to know exactly when it finishes x) they should add more stuff at the interface +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soazak Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 OP is right, you can't just hotkey abilities, they have to be placed on a bar first, and since there are only 48 slots, some classes run out of space to put things. This is nothing to do with clicking, keyboard turning or being unable to setup hotkeys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incomprehensible Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 As one of those people, I apologize for making an *** of you and me. If you are not a clicker, why do you need so many slots? What class are you? As a sorcerer I get by with just the middle two and the right bar, everthing I use is bound, and I have some slots left open for medpacks and such. But I'm only 30. I remember in WOW setting up my strategic commander I ended up having to use chorded keysets to be able to fit all of the abilities (36 or 39 of them IIRC) I used commonly in combat under my left hand, so I leave open the possibility that there is some class in this game I have not yet played with such an extremely complex skillset. By my count without paging you have 48 slots open, before paging. What class needs more than that? I love complex playstyles, I'll have to try it out.

Durzaka Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 If this is about PvP, why the hell do you have a pet bar? Open world pvp? lol. If it is about PvP, then you won't have the pet bar open unless youre on ilum, so you have another 12 slots open to you. Even with a pet bar, the only things i have trouble fitting are relics, stimpacks and medpacs. And i fit those easily by removing skills i know i will never ever have a situation to use in PvP (like sweeping blast) Every class has abilities it won't need during PvP. find them, remove them.

It's because he leaves his Companion bar open and it replaces one of his two personal action bars at the bottom. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Esp when you have a companion that can CC (like Mako and her long channeled stun). I personally don't leave it open, but if we had a 3rd action bar at the bottom I would. Until then I just leave it auto-cast and deal with the consequences of her doing a channel when I need her to heal me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladon Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The clicker comments are just stupid, there's nothing in the original post that indicates the guy is a clicker. I'm not a clicker and I feel the same way this guy does. We need more hotbars available in the middle of the screen. The left and right bars just make the screen look like ****...and they're still not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayebeehm Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 That you can actually move the 'Companion Bar' to the left, or right side of the screen.. You can then activate your secondary middle bar, and use it without the companion bar being in the way of it. You have to turn this option on in the options, but it's there. I suggest left side of the screen.. Slamming on someone because they click their abilities is just stupid. It's like telling someone who drives in another country that they're driving on the wrong side of the road.. To them, YOU drive on the wrong side of the road.. lol Seriously, whether you're a clicker, or a hotkey machine, the bottom line is making sure you get the maximum enjoyment out of your game. If you click to do it, so be it. Have fun, that's all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
