Equip. set hotkeys

[haunter]

It's great that you can hotkey your equipment items to swap quickly... But I would like to see the ability to make equipment sets, and assign a hotkey to them...

Example.

Say I want to fight melee, I have an equipment set with a helmet, some armor, RoWs, and a sword...

But then I want to switch to magic use, so I have an equipment set of a wand, a hat, some kinds of rings for magic...

I would like a way to switch between all of those equipment pieces with the tap of a key... :O

Post comments... What do you think the Pros/Cons of this would be?

Just set your fighting set to 1-5 then your magic set to 6-0.
Lazy bum!

That takes up too many keys... my numbers are for magic!

Oh.
Well yeah, that'd be an awesome idea!

[thesaiyan]

[GoZelda]

I don't like it, too advantageous. A dude like me that has both awesome magic and phys things can easily just switch to resist spells, cast spells or so then back to a warrior dude for major phys offense/defense, speed, hp etc 1-5 and such is fine.

Perhaps we could have a delay of sorts... I mean, you could switch just as fast with the way DragonX said (using several keys) This would just save key space...

actually there should be an animation for you putting stuff on, kinda like when you take a sword out, that would prevent in-battle switching

Not everyone is "a dude like you" though.

Sure you can Haunter but it prevents many people from doing it, "a dude like me" for example relies on those 10+ buttons (2 sets of equipment, hell; there's more than 5 equipment each I think it's 8) for healing spells and such but let's say I could do it all in 2 keys...I sure would sacrifice 2/10+ of those

You said it yourself "my numbers are for magic!" =P

Edit: Woah Khallow, you really aren't the brightest bulb around are you? This suggestion wouldn't exist if it weren't for people having two sets of equipment. What an irrelevant, unthought, silly, pointless post you made ^-^

Yeah, that Khallow is a real idiot, isn't he.

I think this was suggested before, and while I think it'd be really usefull, I also see the disadvantage of it, making the strong ones even stronger. maybe it could be restricted to the rings, i.e. 1 hotkey for fighting rings, one for magic or prayers, one for shopping...

Besides, is it me or is there any way to use ijkl ad hotkeyes without their moving component?
