Warning: Left click activates items, right click drops them

from Demigod Forums

Yesterday was playing Prision with Sedna ( friend ), Rook ( random person ), and Beast ( me ) vs 2 queens and an oak. We were getting routed early on, 2 ranged generals + another general = lots of minions were beating us down until ~lvl 7.

 

Anyway, I digress.. once we started getting the upper hand and the other team had to run more than presue the queen I was chasing apparently was trying to get away and use their Heart of life. Instead of left clicking to activate it they must have right clicked and DROPPED the Heart of Life on the battle field, right in front of me. So, being the bastard I am I was like "YOINK!" and wammo, heart of life in my inventory. :D

 

I proceeded to thank them in global chat but they never responded. I wonder if they though it was a bug and that it just disappeared from their inventory so wanted to make a post here and to warn everyone else, make sure you left click or you may just drop something you really would hate to lose.

Haha.  Also note that if your inventory is full and you grab, it wastes the item.  I had a game the other day when I tried to give a mageslayer to my reg ally, but his inventory was full when he tried to grab so it was 8k down the drain.

Nice!  After about 5 or 6 minutes I was like "GG" as we seemed to be unable to touch 2xQoT+Oak...  after about 20 minutes we had it all turned around.  Very niice game.

The HoL thing was odd but very nice!

Wow this is a bug... post it in bug reports forum.

Additionally, using hotkeys (F1-F4) completely eliminates this problem, and any intelligent player knows that clicking your abilities/items in combat is a no-no.

Err.. if you move your mouse over the item, it tells you exactly that. Left click to use, right click to drop.
