Disappearing Hotbars

Anyone else experiencing this? On log in a random entire hotbar will fail to load. It is just display error as I can still manually activate it and the abilities. However it will not show up until I log out and back in. This is like the sixth time it has happened to me.

It hasn't happened to me yet, but I only saw this happening whenever I use a hireling. The hireling's toolbar disappears and you can't kick him/her out and he won't leave the party group even if your public wandering around town. Dunno if it helps Happy

Used to happen with Arti pets. Still can, I assume, since I occasionally see a stray dog parked somewhere. Was more fun when you could use the bug to spawn multiples inside a quest, but those weren't even in your party. Just lag generators.

Drone bar disapperaring.... and the ability to call again the drone... ( worked only on Gold seal ones and Pets )

You could end up with a party of 30 ( 6 people and 5 Drones per people )... and they actually followed you...
( I only tested it up to 10 once, it was more than enough spare targets for my friend and me to go through the quest mostly piking )

Interesting. Only one I knew about was calling 5 hires(not gold seal) in a 5 man group. Last we did this was before u19.

Well, I can't let you get all the hotbars in your ass all the time. Has to be some balance, no?

Is it time to break out the old hotbar command-line commands?

For the young'uns out there, back in my day, we didn't have no fancy hotbars. We got something like 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 (I can't remember!) and we were happy, dammit. But the code for up to 20 hotbars existed... you just had to access it via command-line options. I can't remember the exact process, but it was pretty messed up - you had to alias commands to something and attach them to another... but it was worth it to have hotbar freedom.

Anyway, I wonder if those commands can be used to resurrect lost bars. I dunno - they took away a lot of the things you could do via command line, thanks to people like me causing mass logouts due to broadcasting fake server downtime messages in colors.

It was 10, and if you knew the commands you could spawn Hotbars 11 to 20...

At that time it was almost mandatory to use that exploit with some classes ( biggest user : Cleric )

IIRC it was quite easy to do it...

I remember that one. Was fun in the places I could get it to work. Smiley

I am experiencing this issue as well.  What's weird is that the UI elements are still there.  You can hover over a button to click it and you will get the on-hover text for the item.

Something I discovered last night was that hiding the UI and then unhiding it (Alt + Z) brought back the toolbars.  I only had to do this once, so it probably needs more testing.

Possibly something in your config has gone screwy? I presume you use /ui layout load <hotbarprofilename> to load defaults whenever you TR/create a new character? Could the file have been corrupted some how?

You can still do stuff in color.... you just need to know how to do it.

Normally, yes. But I just tr'd recently and did not load the ui because I leveled the normal way and didnt need dozen hotbars until I capped.
