Action Bar Limitations & Frustrations

Hey All,

I'm a newbie and have clocked up a whopping 9 hours of gameplay - hehe
Anyway I was involved in the beta and had this problem there as well.
As I have got stuck right into it i think i have delveloped quite fast for my 9 hours (21 Combat - 22 Melee, 10 MAgic, 8 Craft, 19 Harvest)
And from all the TRAINING I have done with those hard earned skill points, I have now filled my Action bar (1 of 10)
How do I MOVE actions from say bar 1 to 2?
As I would like to move things around.. maybe make a BAR combination for each major group...
I can delete, copy (duplicate) and create new ones... but I can not cut 'n paste from say bar1 to bar2.
And if I try to CREATE something in bar2, I almost never match what was in bar1 (e.g my Armour & Weapons plans for crafter)

Would be a great feature if this doesnt exist, and if it does, PLEASE someone tell me what i'm doing wrong.

Thanks

Hello,
Moving actions between action bar pages isn't currently an option. Sorry for the inconvenience :(

whaaa? how can you fill all 10 bars?!?

im 24/23/24/27 and iv filled 1.5 bars, and could easily remove all but about 7-8 slots...

do you really need all these actions? do you even got enough stansas to fill up these 200 slots?

The slots fill over time as harvesting p.e. can easily use up 10-20 slots for different prospecting/extraction/tracking methods.

Once you get to mainland it is advisable to start spliting up the hands like
hand 1: harvesting
hand 2: combat
hand 3: crafting
with adding the most important heals and default actions into every hand

Copy/Paste is not an option atm, unfortunately.

Only thing you can do is delete the old one and create a new one in the taskbar of your choice.

To be honest, I actually never use the default stanzas, first thing i do is delete them and create my own actions that fit the things that I need/want.

First thing removed from 99% of my spells is the time credit e.g.

There is a copy paste system as such, open action window, default key A select skillset and whatever skills you have trained are draggable to the hotbars. This allows you to split them up into groups, i do the same, i make new ones and keep some originals and split them into melee, magic, self, harvest and craft.
