After patch 1.16, a macro in execution cannot be interrupted anymore. Before, you could do it by pressing again the same macro or another one.
This is very annoying, since for example, if I have a macro with 10 /equip "xxx", I have to wait all 10 equips (even if I need, for example, only to change the first 2) before executing another macro.
I hope it's a bug, and not a real "fix".
I noticed this also. With the slow speed of the macro execution it can be very annoying to not be able to perform a number of things while it performs each line, until complete.
I am hopeful for sped up macro execution, and allowing macros to be interrupted.
Greetings Karbine and Moiren!
The thread was moved over from In-Game Bug Reports to General Discussion since it is concerning a suggestion/feedback. I know it can be frustrating to sit and wait for the macro to finish entirely, especially if you have multiple sets to use so I know you you feel.
This definitely should be corrected. It's tedious to have to sit through an entire macro to finish, especially if you clicked it by accident, and can't correct the mistake until it's done meandering through the actions.
This is very annoying. I often just want to change over to a crafting class to do a quick repair or something when all i really need is the tool equipped. However my macros are set up to also equip abilities with the tool and now i'm unable to interrupt the macro and get on with crafting.
Would be nice if the macros were read instantly like they were in XI. That would solve the problem.
I posted about this in the In-Game bug's section already
An annoying bug indeed.
Greetings, Moiren!
