[Suggestion] Consolidating Equip Macros

[Volarione]

Um, no offence but the entire point of a discussion forum is discussion. You know? Offering varying and opposing points to each others debates and reasoning based on presented issues and evicence.

Are you simple?

That is his opinion.

Are you simple?

Man has a point neither SE or Rosina are yielding any time soon, hopefully the UI changes will prompt a few console only types to migrate over to PC its not like we need some overly high end system to play 11.

As to my age rosa, i am capable of realizing when i am wrong and take the advice of others. Choosing to completely ignore a well known and widely used game mechanic all the while professing that it is not intended/needed or that you can be just as proficient without utilizing such mechanic is beyond stubborn. Further more when too many people get on your case about your a-typical poor grammar and logic you pull out new and BS health ailments.

Furthermore you get increasingly defensive when your fellow peers (as in people who really have the disorders you claim) get on your case for hiding behind such facades. So who's not acting their age here? I'm not always right about things and i'm willing to admit it when i am proven wrong however, this isn't the first time you've fought this battle and for some reason you have started it anew in practically every thread you participate.

Nala, she's a troll, just have fun with it.

Heh, don't worry i am she has proven that she can not comprehend as such she will continue her crusade, in the mean time:

With the upcoming UI perhaps could the dev team outline the limits to which user generated plugins may stretch? Using existing plugins as an example, most people know they exist pretending they don't is silly and would best give us an idea of how awesome or disappointing your vision on the new UI is.

you guys need to stop being trolls and start acting a bit more decently. Just because people do not agree with you, doesn't make them trolls. Just because people play differently then you, don't mean they suck.

Have you ever heard anything along the lines of “do not feed the troll”? ^^;

Point being, if you feel people are insulting and/or trolling you, it's usually the most easy way out to simply ignore them. You can always report them, and be done with it. Trying to fight them in any way just doesn't work. At least that's what I have seen during well over 15 if not 10 years. It's the internet; it's the norm that such users exist.

Responding to them usually only makes things worse, in other words, gives fuel to the fire.
“Trolls” tend to feed upon the frustration of their targets, and actually enjoy seeing one upset more than anything. So that being said, don't let them win, don't let them get to you! You'll have a lot more fun that way (unless, of course, you actually enjoy all that yourself as well).

Just my thoughts, of course!
(And no, I'm not saying anyone in particular here is a troll, or doing anything wrong. This is just my few gil on the subject at hand).


As for the subject that used to be on that hand, it will definitely be interesting to see (thought I am fully prepared to be disappointed) what they really meant with “The window scheme and GUI scripts for FFXI will be released so users can design their own interface features.”, and it is equally unfortunate to see that they are so adamant about keeping improving the macros out of the development scheme.

We can only hope for the best (or a beast), and keep up the candle!

Go ahead, find me a Red Mage who can fulltime a single gearset and solo Azdaja without using Cruor buffs or Atmas.

Well, maybe if they time their 2hr juuuuuust right...

I could do that with crimson pants and 1 piece of refresh gear, just kite it and keep bio on it, wouldnt be hard at all, just take a long time.

This is true.

But I think the point is a gear swapping RDM would out preform the none gear swap per in leap's and bound's.

It's actually to bad for those who aren't into it, it's actually a lot more gratifying after and hour of messing with macro's and gear swap's to go out and output 10 to 24 % more damage. But hey if your having fun doing it your way by all means.

So I think that by only having six lines in a macro we have created three groups:

a) people too lazy to push 3 buttons for one action.

b) people who go that extra mile to swap all the gear.

c) people who copy an xml sheet and put their gear into it.


I feel like ther's a good chance that most of group B would prefer to use method C if SE put it into the game legitimately.

Group A doesn't seem to make use of what they have available now, so I don;t really think that it should matter what they think about adding more.

On a side note: I think I have earned that T-shirt through many years of soloing sky on Red Mage and I would like to know where to pick it up :P

[tyrantsyn]

lol that would be great if there wasn't a stun effect every time you swap out gear in pvp.
