Gameplay Help and Discussion - @GGG: linking items in chat - Forum

Just adding my +1 to this, really annoying when your chat window pops up over the item you want to link... Also, custiomizable keybinds should be a standard option in the future of the game. That way everybody is happy.	Posted by Burgingham on Sep 19, 2012, 10:37:11 AM Quote this Post
The really annoying thing with only linking when chat is open is that I always press I to open inventory. Do that then alt link for an automatic chat link. Now I open chat and if say the stash is open or something the chat frame covers the inventory and makes it really annoying to link any item that is covered by it.

It was hard enough to link item in chat if you open ANY other window except inventory (stats, stash, etc) because char overlays items and you can't click them. And now THIS!? How the hell am I supposed to link items from my stash!? And now I can't link items when checking my stats! This is VERY, VERY bad. I really hope GGG will fix thw situation in next patch! It would be nice if items were still clickable when chat is active. Ya, I agree it is frustrating now. I propose an alternate solution to the one GGG implemented this last patch: Use shift+click to link items in chat whether the chat has focus or not.

" Rory wrote: The Alt change was made because I was getting a lot of reports saying people were linking items whenever they tried to equip items - We were just trying this out, to see if it was any better! Please let us know if you have a better solution, or bindings you'd prefer. Why don't you guys just make the chat window click-thru-able so that we can link items that are sitting behind the window?

Can't you just change the show sockets bind to space? That way we can revert item linking to work without the chat window open. Starting from scratch in open beta.	Posted by dsifu on Sep 20, 2012, 3:58:43 AM Quote this Post
I've always opened chat first anyways... gotta make sure it's in the right chat mode after all. IGN: Jerk, Princess http://orbswap.info - the easy way to trade currency	Posted by taekvideo on Sep 20, 2012, 10:52:30 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
Updated 1st post with your suggestions guys!	Posted by SonicSonedit on Sep 20, 2012, 12:35:15 PM Quote this Post
well they put in a fix to this issue I'm curious why they chose to do a 3 button combo hotkey over a 2 button one that just wasn't being used yet.	Posted by Darkfyre on Sep 21, 2012, 11:03:44 AM Quote this Post
How about adding some other keys rather than alt+ctrl? This is a PC game after all. FFA loot = Single Player Game	Posted by silentman on Sep 21, 2012, 11:23:30 AM Quote this Post
