I suggested as my example rebinding 9 and 0, to Q and E respectively. If you can hit 1-6 with your left hand now, you can hit Q and E. With alt modifier you already use that's +4 keys. With CTRL it's +6.

I use WASD to move. If you don't that gives you W between QE. Three keys by three modifiers is an entire powerset without doing anything you didn't say you already do. Add in R, which is easier to hit with either modifier than 5, and you've got 4x3=12 new keys.

I don't see how the right hand is relevant unless you're just trying to segway into telling us all about your underground hipster control scheme we've probably never heard of.











Personally, I don't usually go past 4. I'm an action gamer and in most shooters I don't even use numbers to change weapons. I'll switch ONCE with numbers and use a 'last weapon' key if the weapons are too far apart scrolling with the wheel. If when playing an MMO I can't get away with 1-4 and Q/E with modifiersl (6x3=18 buttons) I give up #1 to a rotating macro, occasionally using 5 for unusual skills, but mostly using only the five buttons (including QE, which are rebound 9/0 slot keys -NOT- binds so they also rotate) per bar very carefully chosen.

Bar 1, #1 = Macro to go to bar 2.
Bar 2, #1 = Macro to go to bar 3.
Bar 3, #1 = Macro to go to bar 1.
(Simple Loop)


You can also do this with assassins to do your positional from stealth that you don't use again.
Bar 1, #1 = Macro to go to bar 2.
Bar 2, #1 = Macro to go to bar 3.
Bar 3, #1 = Macro to go to bar 4.
Bar 4, #1 = Macro to go to bar 2.
(Manually click to 1 with your assassin moves, use them, cycle to 2, and now you're looping between your combat bars.)



If that trips you up, you can also loop just two bars using specific buttons.
Ranged and melee bars for example:
Bar 1, #1 = Macro to go to bar 2.
Bar 1, #5 = Most commonly used ranged attack
Bar 2, #1 = Most commonly used melee attack.
Bar 2, #5 = Macro to go to bar 1.
So this way you don't even need to keep track of what bar you're on. If you need a melee attack you double tap 1 and you'll do it, even if you were already on bar 1. If you need a ranged attack you double tap 5 and you'll do it even if your on that bar already. Once you know you're on the right bar, you continue as normal with the other ranged or melee skills on it.







You can set up similar loops for alt+, and ctrl+ bars (3 bar loop, x3, = 9 bars. CoH/V gives you 10 so you'd still have a clicky box) or you can have the macro on the first bar also cycle the top bar, though the command to cycle the alt bar is not known to me the system is robust and I have no doubt it's possible. Combining the cycling of both (or all three) bars will give you more buttons because you only need one key (#1) rather than three to cycle with, but they will limit you to only very specific combinations since they don't cycle independently.

Some games can use shift as an additional modifier, as well as ctrl+alt, ctrl+shift+alt, ctrl+shift, and alt+shift. Because I play shooters these are counter-intuitive to me because mentally I consider shift a sprint or walk key, and a double modifier is not realistic when moving with WASD because it rules out moving in certain directions when you're hitting three keys at a time, but if you're an MMO player with none of these concerns you could get real sophisticated.

OR WOULD I?

made the hands bigger with 'large' gloves wrapped, so the navy colts didn't clip at the wrist.

I would assume this is why they were not immediately ported, but I still agree 100% that we should have another animation set by now.

I still do not play a pistols character PURELY because the animations are outrageously silly. I would even go for the Equilibrium stuff like Hail of Bullets and Dual Wield, but Bullet Rain and Piercing Rounds are just so completely Bugs Bunny (and they're key powers I wouldn't skip) that I just don't want to make a character that would do that.

The trick here is that if it can be traded that's pretty much the same thing. Players will consider it an inconvenience in trading a thousand times before one person considers it a good idea for stopping people from paying to win, and it won't actually do that since people will just spam /h that they're selling them and people will buy them that way.

I think we've got it lined up right already with the merit system. The high end ones are no-trade and must be gotten yourself, and can't be bought or converted upwards AFAIK. Whatever new enhancements they roll out next should -IMHO- be aquired only through those if they're worried about P2win etc.

They're going to make at least five movies.
But #4 will be impossible to find. >.>

I'm not at home to go take a screenshot, but I just [s]Killed[/s] Arrested Crey in brickstown for Veekz Vex's third costume in the costume thread the other night, and I saw enemies in the full suit. Banded boots/gloves, armored top and bottom.

Can you go take a look, because one of us is crazy. :P

I think this is really two issues that play off each other.

1) People don't communicate in-game like they do here. Lots and lots of other players I see simply refuse to interact at all. The lower levels where you get people looking for DiB and DFB are full of people like this. It varies from people who seem to read and pay attention but don't want to type much, to people who have probably closed their chat box all together.

2) Leeching. I have long since lost count of how many times I kicked someone for going AFK for an entire map+AV of DFB, only to INSTANTLY get a tell asking why they were kicked. Less common but equally detrimental to keeping a good group going are the people who play like suicidal maniacs and then will lay there dead for five minutes asking for wakies when we've moved to the next section or hoping to level up when we finish the entire map and kill the boss. Some people will follow the group or auto-follow someone and not actually fire any powers. I've even had people decline team teleport and say they were 'lost' in DFB lol.




DFB/DiB are not one-shot trials you spend a lot of time on. They are good for doing multiple times and keeping a group together more like a mission team, and they are perfect for people without much time to play who want one GOOD run where they can get the badges, see what it's about, and log off.

I can't count on random players in a newly formed team to participate in a team vote. Call me names, call me an elitist who thinks he's 'better', assume I kick people who don't need to be kicked and call me mean, fine. This is the internet I can take a jab and some exaggeration put on me but the point stands:If I want to run a good group to repeat the trial and go smoothly for random people who join for one run, I have to boot leeches and people who refuse to read, and leeches and people who refuse to read don't participate in vote kicks. Thus I can not start a new PUG by running an open group or joining a random queue.

Until I get up into the 35+ levels I run my own groups or join only people who send me a tell that makes sense first, and I lock my trials because the randumbs℗ are not messing up my game time.
