Ps3 users severely hindered. no k/m support.. Any news on this?

Weird.

I can heal and DPS perfectly fine using a controller. Haven't done Coil yet (attempt tonight hopefully), but killed Titan a couple times as a DRG and doing some good speed-runs in WP which are quite stressful for my undergeared healer (I use <tt> macros for healing BTW; makes things easier. Select tank, heal as normal, <tt> your offensive spells and you don't have to worry about attacking an unclaimed enemy. D-pad to select other party members; just remember to organize your list right), especially when your PAL decides to pull 4 groups at once...
I only just got WAR today, but switching targets isn't bad in dungeons at all yet.

Swapping hotbars takes maybe half a second, and once muscle memory kicks in its just a quick flip to use some CDs or secondary skills. As long as you know where your buttons are, its not bad at all. But that applies to KBM as well...

Then don't do FATE. With the way things are, even the best PC get bogged down in Odin and Behemoth fate. There's just no going about it until they change the system for rendering priority in high end FATEs.

Also it's already been like 2 and a half month since launch. The player base is getting spread nicely with a good chunk already hitting their first lvl50. Now it's like an average of 5~10 players at most FATEs, which shouldn't disrupt PS3 gameplay unless you are just not good at targeting with controller.

And before you tell me FATE is the best exp and so on, tough luck and wait for the dungeon exp boost in 2.1.

There were never the normal hotbars in the PS3 UI. Since beta3 there is only the cross-hotbar.
Only on PC you can use hotbars and cross-hotbar together

Has your friend turned off attack/skill animations for players not in his party? I play on PS3, don't have the fastest internet, don't have an SSD to improve loading times and I can fairly easily gold any fate I participate in. I turned the animations for non-party characters to "off" to relieve a little bit of the fate lag, but it was far from unplayable before I changed that setting.

I understand the frustration that it may not run as well as it does on a PC, but I disagree that it's "unplayable." :)
