The Enigma!

[Icebreaker]

At the time i started Daoc with my Hero i had one quickbar...some styles on it, guard, intercept. Easy going! Now we have Arti Buttons, ML Buttons, DR Buttons, Charges (and now the gay new hero abilities) etc and i have almost 4 quickbars full with stuff and i find it very hard to control. I have so many Buttons to press...i could also handle the Enigma!

Now my Question is...how the hell do YOU keep control over it?



First one Styles

Second one Abilities for myself

Third one for Group Abilities

Fourth for buffs etc, charges

The Problem is..its just too much.

Give back the old Days!

 

[Congax]

I try to setup everything in a logical way
- stuff that you don't use in combat go on one qbar
- styles go on one qbar
- charges, RA's and artifacts go on one qbar (near the style qbar) with the most valuable ML abilities with it
- rest of the ML and other thingies go somewhere (the 'crap' bar)

 

[swords]

You think you've got it bad?

 

[Succi]

only have to switch qbars for a few things on chimp

warden is alot worse , but cba to show all qbars

 

[Dafft]

qbinds on mine.

I have FZ, GTset 1k, ip/purge/battler/malice/haste charge/SoM & WH & resist buffs (CL & Soj) qbound.

use main & ALT qbars with CTRL qbound to show timers

Excellent post Ice!

I feel like I'm a complete noob these days - damn confusing with all these charges/RA's/ Ml's/styles/Qbars etc

Guess its just the uber leet kids that cope with this! :touch:

Keep up the keyboard/mouse fumbling - you have a kindred spirit here! :worthy:

I think the worst toons for this stuff in Midland used to be the healer, I think I had about 4-5 qbars full that I kept using, but strangely enough I think we now use less buttons than before ^^ for that class - heal/mezz?.
I think Shammys also have a few qbars, but my main SB toon has:
Main Qbar
1 Frontal Attacks/LA Styles
2 CS Attacks
3 Rear Attacks
4 A few Arti effects
5 Jump on boat
9 Destroy Nodes
2nd Qbar
Arti Effects
3rd Qbar
MLs/Champ Effects

It is a pain in the butt, but I sometimes wonder how we used to fight using 1 Qbar .

1 Bodyguard
2 Guard

Qbar 2 is for emotes and qbar 3 is for horse emotes. Works for me

I can fit all of shade styles onto one QB , except those used when the enemy is stunned (where you have ample time to switch qb).. you just need to think about it really

 

[Trunks]

Nostromo + Quickbinds

isnt using that against the rules?

it's all about qbinds nowadays, once you get the hang of them life becomes a lot easier

 

[Bugz]

I use 4 combat qbars on my bard and then 1 which is a buffing qbar.

Works 4 me

 

[Novamir]

1 combat styles, fury, grp resist resist-debuff,
2 moose, SB3, combat awareness,
3 some artis, endurance
4 more stuff i cant remember xD

If it was then Eggy would be the last person using it.

Got way too many things to fit onto qb's, things were much simpler when I were a lass

Nostromo is all right as long as you don't bind more than one keypress to each button. As soon as you have a sequence (such as the infamous Minstrel/Bard twist sequence), you're out of line, however.

For myself, it all came together when I realized I can use the shift key and a button for my quickbinds. Now I have all the important ones on the <shift>-WASD combos. Works well for me!

 

[Raven]

3 combat bars
2 in-fight ability bars
1 buffs/heals/pots/charges bar

Look in the CoC....nostromo game pads do break the rules..cheating fuckers!!

Look in the CoC....nostromo game pads do break the rules..cheating fuckers!!

as someone else stated, it only breaks the rules if you bind multiple actions to a single key. If you dont then there nothing wrong with using it

 

[xxManiacxx]

My SB have 2 style quickbars, 1 quickbar with incombat actives, 1 quickbar with charges and out of combat actives and 1 last qb with stuff like som charge and waterbreathing, resist buffs etc.

Nostromos/other game pads are only against the rules if you bind more than one thing to a key, ie whole reaver bomb chain.
