Sound in windows background/hotkey to move spells


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have 2 suggestions to improve SWTOR.

 

1. Sound in Windows background!

 

WOW has this option, I run 3 monitors where sometimes i click out onto facebook or another onto MS outlook to check email. When i click outside SWTOR, there is no sound where WOW has an option called 'sound in background' where you can still hear the sound from WOW when you click outside the game! I usually jump onto FB while waiting for a party to build or WZ to pop! Sometimes it takes 2 long i just log out of SWTOR cause i can't be bothered waiting compare to WOW, i open my screen to log back into WOW and go into BG!

 

2. hotkey to move spells around.

 

I don't know about you guys but going into 'preferences/user interface & unticking and ticking 'lock quickslots' is the biggest pain in the *** when you want to move your spells around. Most MMORPGs have a hotkey where you can press ctrl/shift/alt for example than the right mouse button to move the spell instead of going into preferences/user interface, etc...

 

And plus when my mate was in WZ the other day and forget to tick 'lock quickslots' and picked up his spell by accident on his side bar while in WZ, the next second, the mouse was travelling 10000 km/h at the wall. I haven't done this myself but it does happen where u forget to tick the box again after unticking it nearly every second day to move your spells around! It happens alot while you level, maybe not at 50 but all the time while leveling to 50!

As already stated, BG sounds are in 1.2 and on the test server right now.

 

As for locking/unlocking quickslots, check out the little padlock icon on the left of the main quickslots, you can lock/unlock them using that rather than going into prefs.
