It's just an idea but...

 ...how about creating a drag-down hotbar border that makes as many or as few hotbars visible as the player wants (or the screen size permits LOL). It wld also help saving hotbar space if you brought back the classical combat HUD instead of dragging the tactics into the hotbars

Shift+# works very well, if you ask me.

I keep Speed, Power, Grab, Block, Withdraw, Desperation, Adrenaline, Consistent, Empty, and Clear all on Bar #20, so I click down two bars for my lower one. Then I shift between my other four. Using macros for my loadouts, I keep my Upgrades on Bar #1 along with my Hyper abilities and Determination. I also keep pills and Mobius there. On #2 I have my damage modifiers like Firearms Expert, Analyze Weakness, etc. and on #3 Duelist, #4 Rifleman, #5 SMG's, #6 MKT, #7 UGM, #8 Healer, #9 Expiremental, #10 Coder. Plenty of hotbars.

Double clicking consumables from your inventory pannel will also free up some hotbar space.

we ned more hotbars, make a complete row at the bottom of the screen and one row on the side like in WoW


Much as I hate WoW, it is a good idea for side bar.

putting buffs, pills, clothing, macros, and saving Hotbar for abilities 

WoW is $hit but the mods people come up with is nice.

I remember when we just hot 10 slots.

20 is more than enough.

You can access your tactics through your Action window as well by pressing O. You don't have to scroll down but you do get to change not only your tactic but also combat evade and some defenses. Saves you at least 6 hotbar spaces.
Pills, boosters and other consumables can be activated through your inventory by double clicking them. Saves what? 4 spaces?

That's a total of one entire hotbar. My hotbar only includes abilities, no mobius code, not hyperjump, no tactics. Just 20 abilities and it works splendidly.

If we could choose how many hotbars we want then that would be good, my Rifleman LO is spread across 2 hotbars and I keep one hotbar on my tactic changers plus hyper abs, and hacker is hard to keep all abs on one hotbar, if it's possible to have 3 hotbars and other people to have 2 then I don't think it's a particularly bad idea, your happy, I'm happy, banned people arn't, everybodies happy!

Fact is though, you can even give people 20 hotbars on their screen and they still...alright, I am going to overreact here. But they still will be able to get them all full and then complain they actually need 21 hotbars. Not only do they need a hotbar for abilities but then for tactics, consumables (al 7 of them), different types of clothing to switch during pvp, macro's so it's easier to switch but nah, I still want to be able to only switch my shirt everyone once a blue moon. Oh, and I must not forget my other 36 macro's that I need for 1 pvp loadout.

Doesn't matter how many hotbars there are, people always want 1 more. SMILEY

I'd love 3 hotbars for MKT, so I don't have to constantly shift between 3, but eh.

it would be nice to be able to hot key bars 20-11
But I would be even better if we could more the hot bars we have now...or even split them so they are side by side and not stacked.
