weapon swapping and skill slot changes
any word on if or when they are going to allow us to have 12 ability slots on two visible bars so we are not forced to weapon swap to maximize our gameplay?
I would really like to come back and mess around while they fix stuff, but that *** just gets annoying after about an hour of swapping back and forth and back and forth and back and forth in combat. Some of my toons use 1 kind of weapon, I have no reason to weapon swap.
stop making poor design choices and dumbing down gameplay for consoles...they can use keyboard and mouse now too. no reason to make it annoying to play to accommodate poor controller designs (and before any smart ass chimes in....yes I do have a far superior design in mind).

Yep. The word is its not happening, like ever. Why would they double the number if active abilities, when they are due to launch on consoles.
One of this games charms is the limited abilities. It makes you have to think what to slot.
You want a dozen abilities, go play any other MMO out there.3 -

✭✭This game will never have more than 6 ability slots.
If your toons only use one type of weapon, then use that same weapon type in each slot. Then, when you switch, you will have the same weapon type, but with different abilities.
It's nice that this game requires some actual thinking and planning on your part when choosing and slotting your skills.0 -

I, and every one of my friends that used to play this game, don't think it's a charm, but a definite dumbing down of the game. It doesn't make you "think" hard about what to use, it's more just like.....okay....what are the most OP abilities I have that could be used for the most situations. And if you have leveled up at all and tested out all the class abilities and all your weapon abilities, it doesn't take much thought...because it's pretty damn clear what are the best abilities in each skill line. I'm not gonna use cleave when I can use lava whip, sorry. really had to think on that one.
I think it would be much better if the hard decisions were made while specializing, rather than while setting up your active skill bar. It just feels so constricting, and people just end up using the same, more OP, abilities per class.Edited by MrDenimChicken on August 9, 2014 6:21PM1 -

✭if I had the ability to use 12 slots, I would be invincible, I would stack everything
and so would other classes, the limitations makes us "mortal" and killable which is what the game is about, not making Godlike chars1 -
