Hey all,
Skills going to the battle window is a horrible, horrible, horrible idea.
Maybe i was in a minority of one but I liked the way it was.
Reasoning- Things I want to react to go to general window, information style
stuff (sales channel, battle hits, map) goes to the windows I\'ve arranged out
of the way to the right.
Now its in a strange state where I look at my inventory, use appraise on an
item and the result comes somewhere else.
Or that I watch my hps and the scan results on the general window yet have to
look at the battle window to see when I should start reaver striking again.
Or I see a monster on screen, con him and look over to the battle screen to
see if I should attack or not.
There is no method to that madness. Ugh.

In the near future players can decide in which window(s) these messages go,
besides a default setup. This is something we need to do to get the game-side
functionality ready; we\'ll patch the client soon enough. Btw, someone
actually requested this, so not everyone thinks alike. Anyway, *we* thought it
would be better for the players to get to decide.
Everything isn\'t always what it seems to be in the first place.
Anyway, this discussion belongs to the web Forum (the forum itself is something
Favorit\'s been working on), there\'s a board for Batclient at:
http://www.bat.org/forum/index.php?showforum=16
Thank you for the clear description regarding your concern.
