Down with Gear Swapping!

[Eeek]

im pretty sure <stpt> limits it to the party and <stal> is your party and allience so just put <stal> and call it a day

Why would you do that? Can you quickly target your party members with <stal>?

It's actually an honest question! I don't know the answer since I'm quick enough to type-cast most of my spells.

thanks tamoa didnt notice that spell mistake eddited let me know if u see more ^^

i have never been good at spelling lol

Forget the past. Ignore the future. Enjoy the present. still incorrect :|. we dont really need to rid of gear swapping, why is this thread still up?

First off, I found you? I dont even know who you are -.- and second, this was my macro setup before <stpt>, and what is wrong with 6 cure macros, I can tell you that as a healer I could get cures out as fast as possible with that setup.



what junk are you talking about, having a cure macro places nothing into the chat window, unless your adding some stupid /p message or emote line

yeah ok, go on pretending that

And gear-swapping macros floods your battle log with spam. Especially if you do it a lot and change a lot of gear at once. Just try it and you will see ^^

They're one of those people who don't know how to use chat filter and always wonder why they miss in a stun order because they didn't see the monster ready a JA. And everyone says wtf yo how you miss that your stun timer was up.

Oh really?

Is there a way to filter out the Equipment Change message? I would love to hear this

[Dale]

The only time blinking is a problem is realy in ballista and brenner atm. The use of allaince commands or party heal macros or with targets name in it avoids this. In there it causes a unfair advantage of you losing your target. But that asside I would like to say macro swapping opens up the dynamics of this game you can get as complex as simple as you want on something. Wearing a universal outfit if you are lazy also works. Or get in as much depth with a character as you want ... Lets take mnk for example
A macro for haste tp build ~all your +store tp and haste gear
A macro for str gear swap for wpn skill
a macro for chakra including ~vit and af body etc
a macro for chi blast~ all mnd af relic and stuff to boost this
etc etc
each item you have that raises a specific job ability stacked with other gear is situationaly able to be swaped in for its effect. To remove the depth a player wants to get into a specfic job would ruin alot of my play. I personaly enjoy seeing what al I can add to where and get the most out of something I want to do. If you dont want to swap gear then just wear a universal gear selection that works for you. The dynamics of swaping in and or out stuff for every job has some pros . It's just ;lugging all the equipment around with you and the time you have to devote to collect stuff for it and make macros for that players dont like.

I agree it adds to the depth of game-play Morgan. But it's a clunky system that needs refinement.

there is, but the method of doing so is considered illegal by SE.

Ah i see, so I'm getting talked down for not knowing how to illegally tamper with the game. Nice.

For Valefor's sake I hope the moderators are not reading this thread today. I would hate to see his account get banned

Yep.. It's the same as normal - F1, F2, F3 etc selects the people specifically in your party i believe.. (correct me if I am wrong on this one). As for alliance - you can't help that one unfortunately. (Unless someone else knows another way?)

But in my opinion it is just as fast to quickly scroll up or down on the person you need to heal from the party list... Truly doesnt take that long - Most of the time you will only have to cure your own party but <stal> lets you target ally members from the list as well..

I don't know if you were really getting talked down to. It's more of a jab at SE for not implementing something that some 3rd party has been able to figure out, but for some reason SE hasn't. Clearly SE values your ability to filter superfluous messages from your chat log. This just happens to be one case where they haven't.

Unless they changed it, you have to hit F1, F2, F3, etc before using <stal> or <stpt>. It's the reason I've stuck with <stpc>. But I also don't bitch about people swapping gear.
