I love the 2 hotbars!!! It sounds like a good year for 2006.

Wow ty for the pictures and wow... the video!!!

I have to say the interlock and animations look much smoother... And it is much faster WoW from what i see this is going to be a Major upgrade to the current system... I cant wait to test it!!!

All i have to say after this is keep up the good work devs with the hotbar's! and the combat!!!

(and the fancy circles below is also a cool feature)

Walrus your my hero man. If this was EQII or another very large community the Devs would of laughed at us for such a request yet your nice enough to do stuff like this. Your good peoples man!

I like the new look, but it seemed familiar. I remember, it's how SWG combat pretty much worked before the recent changes.

The 2-hotbar system is a must, and I'm very glad they've finally decided to impliment it. However, a couple things bugged me about the video. The devs said they wanted to make interlock faster, but they've added two more animations for the power and speed attacks, which takes it last longer. It basically looks exactly like the system we have now, except now with no way to tell what your rolls are.

Also, this has been discussed before, but the fact that your basic attacks take up half your hotbar is also odd. Yes, the 2-hotbar system will help, but it's still a little inconvenient. If one of the main things they've changed is the interlock hud, then I must say that it's something that didn't really need to be changed or removed.

Of course, I'll have to actually test it out myself to get the bigger picture :smileyhappy:

I love how they took out the combat UI, you can actually see what is going on now. The smoothness of interlock will definately make player movies better.
