Hello everybody. I wanted to share an idea with you.
Many players complains about mobility and key-shortcuts.
I think a cool idea can be to use the spacebar like a "mobility-key".
I imagine to play my characters having damage-skills on keys 1-6 with 4 fingers meanwhile the thumb rests comfortably on spacebar

The spacebar could act like this

Mages - arcane teleport, already implemented;
Rangers - acrobatic jump, already implemented;
Warriors - power jump, not implemented, a two-leg-jump, balanced out with slow cooldown and slow preparation (long animation time);This could free up 1 key-slot (specially for mages that have 1 less because of mana potions) and opens up many option in level-design also, for example:

The jump/teleport could be enabled in cities also, make the game even quicker;
There could be new maps divided into many areas without any path connecting (some futuristic-flying island scenario) and players have to jump to reach locations;What do you think? http://en.board.bigpoint.com/drasaonline/images/_games/DrakensangOnline/smilies/smile.gif

I totally agree with you on this. I like that idea of just having the acrobatic/jumping/teleporting moves hot-keyed as spacebar because it frees up one spot for other skill. I agree with this, as well as being able to jump in cities/urbans/towns because when I play, I always press my jump skill and keep forgetting that I can't use it at all in the cities/urbans.

I really like the idea and can see this quite useful in towns/urbans, also saving one more open slot for an additional skill, but it's really up to the developers.

Wow the jump for warriors is now implemented, but still remain the problem of hotkeys...
I just hope to be able to use as much moves as i can with keys, but i really fear that all this nice moves will be optional with the tree... i mean that you have to choose just few of the 12 moves... please don't do that...

i think would be great if they put on space new skill bars like...when u press and hold space some new skill bar comes where we can put skills that we dont use that often.That way we can use normal skill bar and the`1 that comes when we hold space with skills set on same buttons/1.2.3.4.5.../Lots of games have this option just they are set usually on "shift"

I like the idea of allowing movement skills in cities. This would make the game quicker. just allowing things like rage jump, adrenaline, dive, and teleport would make the game much faster.
