Post Pop Up Delay
I really love the new hotkey bar. Honestly I find myself clicking it to use tweaks, drop drones and PWI more often than hitting the corresponding buttons.

That being said, when you hover over any of the icons for just a second a massive description box pops up telling you all about this item you obviously knew nothing about, why else would you be trying to click it? :)

In fast paced combat these large description boxes can really mess with your vision and reaction times. Can we set a delay to stop them from popping up right away?

Pop up with only name at first, sticks for one second.
If you click on the name-popup, the full version will pop up.


Small and out of the way, then if you click it, you can see the full stats.

You can already right click and hit "info" to get the popup to display, I think I'd personally prefer that the stat box not appear at all from mouseover in the action bar and instead just have the name instantly pop up.

Would be awful for such wonderful gems to be buried without being added.

Hmm, you maybe have a point, but I do think it works pretty well as it is. I do think the pop up there is a good thing as an easy way to access stats and remind you what is where. And you know that you can hit the number corresponding to the item, right? I'm not sure why your mouse would be up there during combat.

Because there aren't hotkeys for everything you might need to do with the item. You can currently unequip them one at a time (alt+number) and equip a single one if none are equipped (shift+number), but there is no hotkey to equip one more if there's already one equipped. There are also more slots than numbers 0-9, which means you are forced to use the mouse to activate the additional slots.

I also find in very fast paced situations that I do not want to move my fingers off my movement keys. There is also the risk of hitting the incorrect number key which is solved by using my mouse.

Again, can we just have the option? This is the same with the /energy minimum, it is a problem for some so the option should be there.

This also needs to be added. The massive description bosses can be quite distracting during high speed situations in which getting the proper clicks in is the difference between winning and getting cool loot or being podded. If a box pops up right when I need to make a click then suddenly that click does not go through and I end up healing the wrong target.

Please add this option to delay pop ups.

Post Re: Pop Up Delay
So, I was selecting stuff in my inventory today and an info screen popped up. It then blocked a click on screen and forced me to exit it out. Would be so cool if there was a way to slow these down/remove them, you know, just an option.

Or an option to do it, options rock.
