Power Tray locking


Angelxman81

So, a power tray has 10 slots to place powers in. Even so, I generally have to leave the first slot open or have a keybinded power there because if I have a standard click power (such as an attack) in there, I might accidently switch trays while in the middle of frantic combat.

How many times have I been fighting in combat only to discover I can't attack because tray 1 suddenly became tray 2? XD

One QoL change which would be nice is a way of locking a tray somehow so it can't switch to other trays without unlocking it. :3

Signed!!!!
I have the same problem every now and then!!!!
Will love to see some kind of "locking" button to avoid those anoying situations

Sounds good to me.

Would be nice, even though I don't click I somehow manage to switch trays...

Oh and on the subject of frantic in-combat clicking, it'd be nice if the Quit Team button was not almost 3 times the size of peoples names and found right next to them...

Please, Please, Please!

Sometimes I find power tray 1 has worked it's way all the way to 6 or that it changed to 2 and I just turned off all my toggles.

Just disable those nasty arrows by tray if possible.

You can't please everyone, so lets concentrate on me.

Add a lock on the right side of the tray maybe?

There are usually two sides to every argument but no end.

Everything placed above this line is always IMHO, YMMV and quite certainly not to be taken too seriously....

I've seen this come up a few times, and agree each and every time.

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

I figure by keeping this thread alive, devs might eventually take notice.

Dear Devs, please give us the ability to lock the numbers on our power trays! QoL change!

Can't you just go into options>key mapping> and just remove the key that is bound to changing the tray number? isn't it a [ I think, or maybe it's currently set for </>

That does not prevent us from miss-clicking the first power in the tray and changing the tray instead.

We want the arrows on the left side of the tray to be disabled on command.

I've killed myself like this before... That's why I learned specifically NOT to put self destruct in the first slot of my temp powers tray.


Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

Yes, please. It's more useful to me than the "lock powers in trays."

Good point ... hadn't though about that. :P

I've only have the "changing trays while typing" issue ... along with the "auto-run into mob while typing" LOL

[about your image] You're not white and blue ... you're a fetus with a mohawk. LOL

So anyway, it happened again today in the middle of combat as I was looking at the main area of the screen instead of my power bar, and somehow switched power tray 1 (the bottom one) into power tray 6. XD

Click click, why isn't my hold working... ARGH I DID NOT JUST USE A WARBURG NUKE

Also would be cool to had at least a couple of trays more. Now you can only add up to 3, then you got the fourth separated to the trays.
I want 5 files of trays attached.

I've been asking for this since some time around issue 4. I think I gave up somewhere around issue 12.


There are no hard iTrials, only hard peo-... er... wait.
