Use items from the action bar.

[Delmontyb]

This is just a little suggestion, not one of super importance, but along with all the changes coming down the pipe, I think it would be nice if we could assign items to slots on the action bars. I never remember that I have them, and if I could equip them to the action bar then they would be more visible and I would use them more often.

I believe the action cost of skills are going away, but until they do, or if I heard wrong, and item shouldn't cost anything to equip.

I can get behind this, as well as an action bar command that will open the items menu for us gamepad players. There's currently no way to open that menu on a gamepad and it would be nice to not have to macro items.

Yes please! It's a bit cumbersome when you play with a controller and have to interrupt the flow by clicking on the item bag with the mouse.

Dead by the time the bag opens...

I've never even considered this, but it's an excellent idea. Come to think of it, most MMOs...oh, you know the drill.

[glassalice]

Yes please.

[slipmac]

good idea yes please

Well I've got good news from the JP forms the reps responded, I've taken this from Reinheart's post about it this morning:

こんばんは。
Good Evening,

アクションバーを3列表示させたいという件について、皆川と確認してきました。
Checked in with Minagawa regarding wanting to show all 3 row of action bar.

アクションバーについては将来的に、全面的に改修を行う予定で、
表示するアクションの数を増やすことはもちろん、組んだマクロやアイテムもセットできるようにするなど、
現在改修に向け仕様の検討を行っております。
In future planning to remodel the action bar entirely.
Showing more actions for sure but also be able to set macro's or items
Currently looking into this to make the changes.

今後も引き続きフィードバックよろしくお願いします。
Please continue giving feedback.

i wanted to make a macro for potions, is it even possible? also it sucks you have to close the bag out before you can use your action bar again.

just answered my own quest reading your post^

To macro items, the command is /item [Name] < target >.

So to macro the potion to be used on yourself, you put in /item "Potion" <me>. If you want a little more flexibility, you can macro /item "Potion" <t> and it will be used on your current target, so you can use potions on others (or use status potions on enemies).
