Who here likes the 1-9 skill bar?I don't like it as I had my skill bars set up the way I liked them.They worked good for me as I used mostly 3 to 5 skills on them.

It would be nice if you could hide the funtion keys.

    I absolutely love the new addition to skill bars. It's something I've been missing since I've started playing.

    I'd still mostly use the main 6 slots, but the addition of the other slots opens new realms with regards to easy access to less used skills or items. My veno especialy needs the additional skill slots ;-)

    ... Are you kidding me?

    This change gives you space for up to 27 more skills/items/combos/etc you can hotkey. It's like having a brand new set of hotkey bars and a godsend for classes that have lots of skills, as well as making things such as swapping equips mid-battle far more viable now

    IMO, this is one of, if not the best, features this patch brought us.

    I always need more hotkeys. I love hotbars, and I wish for more. Actually, what I really wish for is the ability to program alt/shift/ctrl to hit the separate layers of said hotbars, but more keys are *always* relevant. I'm not the biggest fan of clicking skills, but I've narrowed down the keyboard slots to my most used, and the clickies to situational cases.

    It's not just 1-9 skillbars now. They upgraded that skill bar to have 5 hotbars, instead of 3.

    I usually never press my keys pass F7 and 6. Which on my keyboard are 7, 8, and 9. Therefore I'm not really using them yet... I just press it on my screen.

    Extending the slots from 1-6 to 1-9 is a nice addition, even though i don't like stretching my fingers all the way beyond 6

    HOWEVER, i find the extra 2 skill bars really stuffs me up, 3 bars with 9 slots would've been fine, since i only use 3 bars anyways...

    i duno about you guys, but i use the ` key (usually the key in the top left corner of the keyboard under ESC) to hotswap to the next bar, but with these 2 extra bars, it slows me down dramatically now that i have to cycle through 2 empty bars

    May i suggest an option to actually be able to disable and enable the extra bars if needed?

    This is. Click that little filled-in circle on the lower left corner of those bars.

    They aren't going to even touch cuz:

    1. Most ppl like it

    2. The Dev can't even be bothered to fix bugged skills, unreleased areas, promised function, etc. I doubt they are going to listen to a small group of ppl

    I don't have much use for the extra hotkeys yet but they are nice to have in case I did find some use. Major problem is people with low resolution going to be cramped up with lot of icons if they want to see them all at once.

    Why on earth would they change it? O_o It's simply a convenient feature made a little more convenient. Mebbe in the future they'll give the option in settings to remove the whole thing entirely to keep the complainers happy. -.- Of course, then they'd complain about that.

    it never surprises me how people will scrape the barrell to QQ about something ^^

    personally i like it, i haven't really used up any of the new spaces yet though i may in the future, but if i didn't like them i would just move it down so the last 3 slots are off the screen and out of the way :3
