    I like the idea of updating the UI and making things customizable. It doesn't sound like we're going to lose the "feel"
    of the current UI, and that means a lot to me. I would like adjustments, but not a wholesale change. The support of mods and add-ons is very welcome. That's a very refreshing change in attitude.

    One question I have is about the 3rd macro line. I wonder how that's going to be accessed using a controller. CTRL and ALT macros have their own shoulder buttons, but unless SE adds shoulder trigger functionality I'm not sure where I'll be able to map the 3rd line. I know it's an optional addition to the UI, but I wonder if they've thought about this.

    Hmm... good question. XP picks up every one of my PS2 buttons just fine via the USB adaptor....the question is which to map it too. I've had ALT/CTRL mapped to two shoulders and autorun/heal mapped to the others. If they bind it to another key combination, guess I'll have to give up one of those mappings I guess...maybe put Autorun on L3 or something...only ever used that for PTT on Vent when I used to use it.

    They said they are going to be mapped to 1-0, guess it will be like in the Diablo interface where your belt shows up along the bottom and you just hit 1-0 to use the item in that slot on your belt. If that's the case, guess there won't be a key you could bind to the controller to arrow through them. Guess we'll just have to reach up and hit the numbers. Maybe they could bind it to Shift when not in chat line. Looks like it may require some retooling of chat somehow so it doesn't automatically put the commands in chat (otherwise you'd be getting "11111 " or "!!!!!" in a chatline while you're cursing that your meds aren't firing off).

    I too am an avid PS2 controller user w/adaptor. One idea comes to mind on the 3 macro palette.
    If macro lines 1 & 2 are keyed to L-R#/L-R# shoulders, could one still use the /macro set(#) command to jump from
    the 2nd macro line to the 3rd macro line in which that would be keyed as if you were scrolling from macro set2 to macro set3 with the next macro set(4) and (5) being scrolled up/down automatically? Seems to be the same scrolling effect but with the 3rd macro set in limbo until jumped into.
