One extra Hot Bar window?

How about just allowing the Combat Abilities window to stay open all the time if there is a hot key in one of the slots?

These are not game breaking. Or am I wrong?

You're talking to all the boomers who still click their spells

(There were extra hot bars before but they wanted them removed)

You gen Z kids all serious and hovered over your keyboards for days.

Relax, sit back, and just click FFS. The race was over 25 years ago.

I have the opposite reaction, it looks exhausting watching people move their cursor all over the screen to do everything. It takes less 'effort' to use keybinds.

I used the boomer method even when I started playing WoW in 2005. Clicked my abilities with a mouse. I learnt eventually :D

Imagine coming to P99 and demanding EQ be remade into a modern power gamer mmo...

[Pulgasari]

If combat abilities is what I think it is, you can bind it to a key so it opens when you're keyboard turning.

If I'm not mistaken I believe some UIs can unlock additional hot bars amongst other things that aren't typically available. Its not classic IMO so I don't mess with anything that didn't come with the game on install.

Also there are macros and / commands you can use so that one hotbar button can do 3-5 things. For me I find one hotbar is enough and I'm usually using 8 slots of it for my spell gems on applicable classes (yes I know spell gems can be/are key bound seperately)

Not that I have seen.

I am a firm believer that multiple hotbars is a must-have for any mmo. P99 was much better before green launched.

OP I'm afraid you are SoL. There is 'technically' something you can do to sort of mimic the functionality of multiple hotbars, but it isn't perfect, and is likely not something they want people doing. If the trick ever got out I'm sure they'd block it, too.

Now you're on a watch list

Aint nothin to watch, and I'm not breaking any rules. I'll live.

I didn't know there was a 'trick,' but I think I have a good idea of what it is now that you mention it. I'm pretty stupid but I've done a lot of playing around with my UI by trial-and-error over time so I know how most stuff works.

Anyways, I disagree. I think having 8 spell gems and 10 hot buttons is a good maximum number of keybinds. I don't even have all my hot buttons bound. And then for my situational or less used macros I just use a socials page.

[magnetaress]

Yes. There are other services for extra hotbars. If you insist. Play there instead.

And if you want to play that way, that's totally fine. The extra hotbars are for convenience, and personally make the game more enjoyable for me. I enjoyed multiple hotbars on P99 for 9 fucking years. nine years. It was great! I was enjoying myself the whole way through.

Then green launched and suddenly a server that offered the best Everquest experience now offered the worst. I didn't come back until October of last year and if I did not find my workaround I would not have stayed. Just as the hundreds of elitist around here are unable to enjoy the game unless they upset as many people as humanly possible, I am unable to enjoy the game without multiple hotbars. The option is all I've ever wanted, and the server had them for far longer than it didn't. It's a stupid hill to die on, but unfortunately they have done just that.

[spoil]

Yeah personally I don't see the big deal as you can quickly swap to another hot bar page or use a socials page.

Oh if it isn't a big deal then we should have no problem adding it back in then, right?

[spoil]

Sure, my whole point is it's a weird thing to feel so strongly about.

It is a weird thing for them to feel so strongly about that they removed it from the server, isn't it? What a weird thing for them to do. How unnecessary. They really should have just spared themselves of the dozens of hours needed to decipher the game client code and just let the mild quality of life feature stay in the game.

Oh well.

[mcoy]

Yeah I use alt-# for spells, and ctrl-# to change hotkey page. It's never been a problem for EQ - I only use like 3 pages anyway. The other pages are just old language training macros or inc messages that aren't funny anymore and probably weren't to begin with.

Classic UI had 6 - SIX! hotkey slots. Can you imagine? You have 10 now! Man you noobs are spoiled. They should take away item linking to give you all something to really cry about.

If this server was anything like true classic, i'm sorry to say many of you noobs wouldn't make it and would be left to die.

Denies existence of a multi hot bar UI so he can continue using said hotbar UI. Well played enjoy those 10 slot bags while you're at it.
