It's only good if you showthe Tom Baker scene.

In fact, that WAS the only good part of the movie.

Nice job, though.

Proof is in the Poison...on the ultra secret Easter egged god mode.

Turns the whole party into the noobess noobs from noobdom. But the graphics are awesome!

[Vertagk]

Ok, so here's my lowly level 6 Bard/Rouge...



When I first started playing, I used a gamepad, and so only had one extra bar for non-combat shortcuts. Otherwise I had one combat bar showing and would cycle through the other bars using up and down. I discovered however, that I prefer to play classes that need a lot of different things on their bars (i.e. spellcasters) So I eventually switched to using keyboard and mouse, so that I could have more bars showing. I miss my gamepad, but it just got too cumbersome to try and select all the different stuff I needed...

Oh, and I am nowhere near as uber as any of you guys, so don't bother asking why I have a bunch of **** that you'd prolly never even dream of using on my bars...

Lol, the graphics are so lifelike! Must be running on an uber machine!

I just changed to a much larger monitor, so still working on where I want to put everything. Proximity became a whole new issue for me... last night on my cleric I had to move the red/blue bars to be just behind him, as I found moving the mouse 1280 pixels to the left can be the difference between a quick heal and a res.

(Yes, I use F1-F12, but sometimes it's easier to click the names)

To help you out a little with this issue, hot-key your healing spells. What I do is use the insert/home/pageup/delete/end/pagedown keys for the various healing, and select who gets healed with my mouse. The great thing with this setup for me is that I use the arrow keys to move and the arrow keys are right below my healing hot keys.

Takes a little getting used to but you will find that it saves some time.

I seem to be the only one that likes to have a nice large chat box. I must be a newb

that's what i did with my clerics, except I moved the movement keys to ESDF, which places the following keys within easy reach for quick access:
QWA to the left
RTG to the right
2345 above
ZXCV below

plenty of options for spamming heal/scroll/mass/rez as well map offensive spells (destruct/command). Also makes it easier to keep kotkeyed spells organized to avoid hitting the wrong one.

yeah, but for the Left handedness. Right handers are evil, EVIL!!!

You'd have to extensively rework the keymapping quite a bit, but you could do
movement: OKL;
hotkey above: 7890-=
hotkey below: M<>?
hotkey left: UIJ
hotkey right: P{"

Just slide your keyboard over to the right a little. That leaves: <enter>, right shift close by for selecting mobs and shield blocking. I use the mouse wheel button to tab thru mobs also

[I_Bob]

Is it sad that I tried to mouse over the icons in your bars to find out what they were?

Don't feel too bad, I've done the same thing a couple of times on this thread. There are things I've never seen before and so I "mouse over", then lol, and take another drink of coffee...

no I like large chat boxes too, but I like my spells more!! Guess who won?
