Does anyone else do this?

[bAss_ackwards]

 

Over time as I use Inner Inspiration or get inspiration drops, I like to collect them in a pattern like this. Starts out as small, goes to medium, then large ones as I find them. Makes it easy to quickly use the inspiration I need in the moment.

It's like a game within a game for me.  So does anyone else do something like this? 😆

[Clave Dark 5]

I don't save big ones, they all get used just when they get used, are needed, but I do exactly that with wakies and break-frees, in that same far-right column.  Given a little time I do try and organize them too, so that I don't have to search thru a patchwork to find that Health I need right now.

[Scarlet Shocker]

It's been known

[MoonSheep]

absolutely, including the part on the right which allows me to create a mini rez kit

 

since getting a switchable logitech bluetooth keyboard though i haven’t been able to use the F1-4 keys which is a real shame

[Jacktar]

Same rez kit slotting, but why no Reds?

Moar reds…. for the win! 😀😀😀

[Ghost]

Yes, and it’s really stupid that I try to keep my inspirations organized while in the middle of farming.

Wait, is this not the entire game?

Reds get used as soon as I see a target. 😎

[Digirium]

How do you get reds if your tray is already full? 😛

 

I have a bit of a complex, too, when it comes to the inspiration tray.

 

A primary inspiration type is designated, backed up by macros that combine other types of inspiration in to the target type. Typically, this is damage but can be any type of inspiration as the macros can be quickly re-configured via pop menu. There is also a short cut that combines inspirations in to the target type without executing the target type inspiration.

 

The tray might become full of the target but until it does there is room to receive drops and combine them in to the target.

 

There might be a column of mezz protection inspirations on the right side.

[MonteCarla]

I don't. 
My standard bind file sets up F1 for accuracy inspirations, F2 for damage, F3 for luck etc, so I don't have to worry about where they go in my tray.

[Snarky]

you have them stored in the wrong order.  i will not tell you the correct way.

There's usually space for reds to pop in. Getting a full tray is pretty rare for me, as I do use these when I need them. 😁

[tidge]

I never keep rez inspirations in the tray, so "no".

[Andreah]

I do the same. It starts freaking me out if they get jumbled out of order, too.

[Octogoat]

I do sort of the same thing except I have one row in order of wakey, break free, health, end insps

[Ukase]

So, you're not the only one. Some of you have seen it before. Some haven't. 

 

The Custom Window above is what I click on to change 3 of a kind into a red, should the insps drop in that fashion. The arrangement depends on what the character is going to be doing, and what AT the character is. 

My */MC blasters only carry one break-free, the others will carry 4. Tanks that might do an MSR will carry 1, unless they have the sheer will accolade. 

Columns 2 and 3 are empty now because I used up the reds that were in the columns. Standing lowball bids to restock are always in play. I keep supers in my base for specific tasks like soloing a TF and would need extra damage. 

[mistagoat]

Mine is pretty similar:

 

Except for my Hami toon:

Oh come on! If you're going to tease us like that, at least share the custom window setup! 

[A n k h]

too add to the insanity, I logged in on my main after several years of inactivity (sorry), and had nothing but Xmas present insps!   but yeah usually i keep greens to one side, blues next to that, then break frees and awakens on the other side

 

[lemming]

I've kept a supply of Rez in email, Restoration or higher, bouncebacks get tossed at this point.

 

I use a combiner to make reds usually when I have a full tray, but will do it often enough to always have some room.

 

Only time I tend to organize is for Hami & The Labyrinth where EoE and Draughts take up a the last column.

[Andreah]

I'm at the point where my tray is usually just full of [Ultimate] and maybe a few team break-frees on the far right, and everything else is rejected.

I do, but I go with 2 rows green, 2 rows blue and the last one is as is. Also I do not use the large ones. 

[JKCarrier]

I'm nowhere near that organized or methodical. But I do make an effort to keep insps of the same type grouped together, just so they're easier to click on in the heat of battle.

It's right in the HC Wiki. 

https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Custom_window_(Slash_Command)

Now, anecdotally, it's weird. If I've closed the client, I have to reposition the window. And it was a devil trying to get it to work. I'm sure smarter folks who are good at pop-menus and such will have an easier time than I did. 

It is almost easier to just set up an empty power tray and put the macros in there, but when you hit 50 and have a slew of temps, etc..there's not often room for all that. So, you can make different custom windows - one for targeting GMs, and one for things like this. (Or opening super packs, or whatever) 

Now, I was initially interested in the custom window because I was told I could literally click the tab that had the macro I wanted to use (like scouring a zone for a GM without having to edit another macro on the fly) But..while it did do that when I first installed it - when I logged and came back, that utility disappeared. And, frankly, changing a target macro is pretty simple. Right click, and change the target name. And the mysterious lost functionality remains lost for me. Still, for entering SG bases that aren't mine for instanced raids and such, and combining insps...useful. 

[SeraphimKensai]

I used too. Then I rebound all my inspiration keys to use specific inspirations regardless of what slot they are in ranked by size and made inspiration combo binds as well.

 

So now my tray looks super disorganized, but I have the muscle memory to activate whichever one I want with a keystroke.
