Hotbar

[poe]

I would love to have a hotbar for items and spells. Having to open a menu and interrupt gameplay to heal or cast a spell is a pet peeve of mine.

Yea, I've been thinking about having 4 things you can shortcut. It's just kind of confusing which hand they'd be set to..

B XYZ. Oh wait...

It would have to be intuitive.. I guess that's the trade-off with assigning things to individual hands. I'll keep thinking about it.

Maybe hold Shift or some other modifiable modifier key to change it from the main hand to the other hand?

For the controller couldn't it just be that you use the shoulder buttons to select and then another button to use the item, then number keys on a keyboard?

This sounds good to me, but I'm no programmer.

Actually, maybe I've just been playing too much Bioshock Infinite, but being able to assign 2-3 items/spells to each "hand" and cycle through them with the shoulders would be fantastic! Quick access, and lots of variety easily accessible.

"1","2", "3" and "4" buttons. Otherwise a player will always make a mistake if they will be added to a random buttons, especially if he plays without looking at the keyboard.

Idea of cycling things is good too. Though... honestly speaking most of players have just 1 set of weapons, and they won't cycle anything at all.
