CantControlServerTray

So with I23 a tray popped up on top of my 3 regular trays. Woot! Been asking for that for ages.

...Except I can't put any hotkey in it. I'm guessing it's a tray for temp powers, seeing as I have a police recharge drone in there and absolutely nothing else. If I try to make any modification, I get that message mentioned in the title.

Looking through options, seemingly no way to get rid of it or allow it to be more lenient.

Who thought this was a good idea? Because some shmuck forgets to use his grenades in Lambda I will be forced to live with an extra useless tray?

...And why am I the only person complaining about this? Why do people never care about UI issues aaaaaah this is why we get stuff like Windows 8 Metro and launchers and and ok I'll go take my pills now.

Still. Not cool!

tried that when on the new itrial which doesnt work, you have to delete the temp power from list for the tray to go away, which you cant do midst trial cos ya need it, although i havent tried "remove power" when r/c'ing on temp power list!?

i always keep tray one, slot one free for temps during itrials but i can see the bonus for a temp power tray in itrials, but it would be nice for it to be optional

Annoyingly, I have the Soul Catcher from the Flame of Prometheus SF villain side on that tray, despite not being on that SF.
So, the tray is open at all times in First Ward, because another temp is used there now, and maybe elsewhere.

Just another buggy extra UI piece we don't need all the time and blocks our view of the game world they worked so hard on.
Can you tell I would rather play a game with almost no UI and hate having a really messy and big UI?

What's worse when youre playing a tri-form kheld everytime you switch forms that tray pops up with the powers for that form..no way to get rid of them from that bar so if you're using macro's or binds to switch power trays (which most people do use who play khelds), you end up with two bars on your UI with duplicate powers. I can't say how annoying this is but, its also very confusing.

I can't belive after 8 years this is the kind of crap that's being implemented without anyway to adjust it or disable it.

Why are the form powers even being placed in that popup bar? They're not temp powers, you receive them when you choose the form. Theyre permanent, we slot them! Fix this crappy Tray!

For the form powers they have been counted as temp powers since day 1 which allows the 'feature' of doing a respec and slotting then as if you had them at level 1.

But as with most things recently, you will be able to do the thing you want 'later' but for now you are forced to do it the devs way (Is Jack back?).

And I haven't found any way to bind the popup tray to any keys so you *HAVE* to click on them. I don't click on things! This is terrible.

Someone in another thread mentioned using servertray or servertrays followed by the 0-9 key in a bind to activate them. It was in General Discussion so it may take me a bit to find it.

EDIT: Found it. And it was powexec_serverslot and not servertray like I thought.

I'm not sure if it shows up in the key binding options window or not, if it does it should be like Server Tray Slot or something.

AFAIK there's no way to hide or relocate the tray when it's up, though, which is really annoying if it covers part of your UI.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
