PTR 3.1 Interact UI Changes - How To Use Keyclone to tell Slaves to Loot From Your Main

[Tonyx]

Looting quest items works for me.

Ditto.

Looting quest items works for me.

Works fine for me too.

I'm hardware, so I'm not sure if that matters, but when I kill a mob, I target the dead body

Click tilde key to assist
Click TAB to make alts loot.


Sometimes you get the "Object is busy" message, but I just hit tab a couple times every time and it works ok.

It really speeds up the looting, quest window opening, flight path, etc.

I love it. :thumbsup:

[Tonyx]

Just a note though, there are things that aren't targettable and so this Interact with target can't be used:

Some quest givers (i.e. the Sons of Hodirs armor ones, like the helm, the anvil, etc...)
Most quest items that you pick off the ground
Gathering nodes (haven't tested this one)

So, this Interact with target is a big help, but still not the solution to every problem.

To elaborate, I was using Q as my interact key since it is close to 1 which is my FTL assist/follow key. I had used FTL with the Q key for another group but wasn't using that key with my current group.

So when I would try to interact, all the other toons would get one or more modifiers along with the Q, and the modifier would temporarily turn off the auto-loot.

It was driving me crazy until I brought HKN to the foreground so I could see what was going on. It told me immediately.

I'm debating whether or not to use a G-Key off of my G15 Keyboard to do the targeting and "interact with target"


Something like... The ` Key /assist's ... and the ~ Key "Interact with target"

Then I could make a macro that does:

`
.02sec Delay
~


This would streamline the whole process into 1 key press, which would be great. But again, I realize this is kinda illegal according to Blizzard, but c'mon it's not really cheating! Is there any way blizzard could track this?

[Yamio]

No idea sqeaky4100 if Blizzard can track this, but it's not something we condone. It's illegal therefore we don't do it, and most of us here will advise you not to do it.

That would be bad.

I am hoping for a macro or slash command one day.
/assist dude1
/interactingdooldecommand

I'll take what we have for now. As long as I don't leave too huge of a pile of bodies it make looting on alts trivial.

[Yamio]

Okay, a couple of observations about this:

1. My playing speed (going from one target to the next) has really jumped up! No longer do I have to reach over to my other mouse to loot. This is a good thing

2. If you don't watch it, you'll very easily miss those one off quests that can drop off mobs.

3. Also, you can miss recipes that drop.

Other than those last two, this is very very cool. Thanks for the write up and thanks to Blizz for making our lives easier on looting.

This will be nice for collection quests as well as jamba with quests and flight points. Yea its not perfect, and I don't think I will set up separate keys for each slave. Simply having them all loot a corpse for a quest will result in it going to whoever gets it first, but eventualy they will get their limit and not be able to loot so everyone will complete it eventualy. Only collection quests this will be a problem on are repeatable like the nessingway ears where you can continue to loot past the ammount needed for the quest. But thoes are so few and far between its a non issue.
