Macro/Books/Pages.

[Krashport]

I would like to suggest and ask would it be possible in adding more lines to macros, Final Fantasy XI has changed in some ways, That the macro lines are kinda short and having 12+ lines per macro would help out. But if the client can handle more lines per macro that would help out also.

Sample Fig: 12 line Macro. I'm to lazy and not adding anymore lines.... You can imagine more lines in Sample Fig if you want to.

Here are some links about macro's ideas, some are the same and others are similar. There is a lot of threads about macro's out there.

They already said no.

There's a way to get what you want with the pc version.

I agree with the OP, having the luxury of being able to do this would help tremendously. I too find myself making and extra one or two macro's just to have the ability to switch out a few items that won't fit into the main macro. Also with all the new gear and accessories Square Enix has added, there is many different options one could make concerning gear sets.

I'm assuming, but sure enough You're referring to "Windower" which is not the official Playonline viewer and is not endorsed or affiliated by Square Enix. Therefore you're recommendation is considered a 3rd party tool which could get you banned, also it is considered cheating because you're not able to do it in the first place.



That doesn't mean they can't change their beautiful minds. I mean come on how can someone not see this being a real help to the game.

Technically you are via multiple macro's, just saying!


Seeing however as they've said this repeatedly the likelihood they'd change it is slim to none.

Not this again.

If they do, they will do so without us spamming them over with the same thread over and over again.

Ah, good old SE. Unable to make basic quality-of-life changes since 2003.

I know right, I really don't see a problem for them not to implement this, and with Lv.99 raise, all jobs and sub jobs having way more abilities, gears, accessories... the list goes on. the old school Macro's lines aren't cutting it anymore.

If SE did a better job with the official client, the majority of players wouldn't be using it. It's SE's fault for not improving the official client with much needed tools that a majority of other MMOs, including Everquest, have already. If they did start bans on that stuff, the majority of players would be banned, that's how good windower is.

Probably a better odds of making them implement 'gear sets' to macro in than getting them to rework the macro system to give us halved macros per book, but doubled lines in each (which would only get us 12, but more than enough for most purposes anyway).
