just a proposal for some fix for classic client

hi i want to propose some fixes for classic client
to make it more competitive with enhanced client

the first thing i noticed is there is not a macro 
to manage the follower as mount/dismount and often
i get involve in attacking the pet trying to mount 
so they could add a "Toggle Mount" macro or similar
with a "Set Mount" organized as the new Dress 1 macroes

then they could add the "Toggle Quest Item" macro to use
with an hotkey and they can add also a "Toggle Insurance" macro

the best should be also adding a "Set Item Macro 1, 2, 3, 4" 
and a "Use Item Macro 1, 2 ,3 , 4" working as the "Dress 1" macro 
to have the chance to set a specific item to use with an hotkey as 
can be the carving blade

a lack i meet is to browse vendors inventary when they have been
filled in enhanced client because all the items are grouped and i
cannot see anything in the container so i think if is possible to add the "Toggle 
Grid on Container" macro to the classic client should be a good idea

the best should be add the "Grab Item" macro with the chance to set the items
as in the enhanced client

and an other upgrade to the classic client should be fix the radar to show 
player in party or guildies as is possible to see the healer pos

at last i noticed there is no way to set an hotkey to open the 
Buff/Debuff gump so if i need to open it i must open the status bar
and click the blue gem so i think they could add it in the "Open" macro option

thank you for reading and give your opinion

    My opinion?

    Nothing on your post is something I want, other than Grid view.

    We are not getting anything until NL is Live.  
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    For follower have you tried this?
    1. War/peace
    2. select nearest > Follower
    3 Use selected target.
    I successfully put my char from war to peace and mounted the pet using that.

    The problem here is that when your a warrior and fighting (but become dismounted) you want to stay in combat mode to keep swinging and toggling to peace mode stops you from swinging. It's almost like saying "time out! I need to tie my shoe"...the mobs (or players) don't stop aggro while you toggle war/peace/war.

    This is possible in UOA to record a macro where I say "all follow me" + "use object (mount)" and I remain in war mode. It's very helpful when I've been in the void pool and get dismounted.

    I don't actually play that client, so excuse me for being a little out of touch.I had an email to point out my error.
    The option to block war on pets was added in publish 114, allowing players to mount a pet when in war mode. Listed under 'reputation system' in the options menu

    and 'toggle buff icon menu' is an option in the macros section, find it near the top of the final column in the table at the bottom of this page:

    I would be 100% happy with a CC graphics option for EC.

    That would be a dream come true....

    @Kyronix , is there a chance that this might be possible ?

    They already answered that question and the answer was NO because of the ZOOM function in the EC.   :s

    Well, how about then do everything else BUT the ZOOM function ?

    I could very well live with the Enhanced Client features but with the Classic Client graphics and NO ZOOM...

    I thought you were trying the EC with all the questions you asked about it...

    I actually think it's a pretty good idea. I've asked for this before, well maybe not directly this exactly, but I wanted all uo-assist features to be added to the CC as I believe you can do the mounting stuff in uo-assist.  

    The toggle quest item is a good idea and I've already asked them to add a macro to toggle the insurance cursor and was ignored. Thinking about it though, every single-click feature of your character should be added as a macro:
    • Vendor Search
    • The Void Pool
    • Loyalty Rating
    • (open backpack already exists)
    • Open Item Insurance Menu
    • Toggle Item Insurance
    • Toggle Quest item
    • Refuse/Allow Trades
    • Refuse/Allow Friend Requests
    • (leave house, when in house)
    • other's I'm missing?
    Yes, perhaps some more useful than others, but I'm sure it takes 5 seconds to add those in and more QOL/ease of use features, even if some aren't super useful, WHY NOT? I really wish @Kyronix didn't hate us and would consider adding these, and perhaps investigating the mounting thing too (may be a bit more involved).
