Questions for an upcoming interview!

Tell him that in Beta, you could hide the LU UI by hitting F10. But now, it has been disabled. Why doesn't he bring it back? It would help SOOO many movie makers.

Honneybbb would like to know if there is a "gear bucket" in the works. I made a suggestion a wile back about being able to group six or less pieces of gear in one slot, or grouping them together so that it's easier to equip multiple gear at once. You would be able to take and remove items from said group(s) whenever necessary.

I even thought of a name "Honeycomb".

Do you think you could ask him that please?

About Mid-Beta, people starting asking on the LU Beta LMBs how to change the controls in LU. The official response, which was made sticky until the close of Beta, was to modify an XML file.

Flash forward to the Power of the Nexus Force update, the controls tab made a come back, but with one control to change this time. The control has to do with the Action bar.

In that same XML file that was modified in Beta to change the controls, there are lines that deal with a gamepad (I think it refers a Xbox 360 controller). Those lines deal with free camera movement, and (I think) movement in general.

Since those lines are already in the XML file, they are already partly implemented in the game. But they are not active yet.

My question is this: Since those lines in the XML file are proof that Xbox 360 controllers can be used in LU, why has that not been implemented fully yet? And since that same XML file was used in Beta to change the keyboard controls, and it worked successfully, why hasn't a UI been built into the game to change the controls? And when will custom controls officially come out? I own a Xbox 360 controller, and sometimes I would LOVE to play LU with it.
