Hi Jonathan12uiz!

I've well used your advices for my setup on PS3. Do you plan to do an "upgrade" video after 2.1 changes on the UI etc??

Thank you!!

Its funny you should mention that. I am currently working on the new setup videos for all the 2.1 changes. I'm liking them a lot. I have a new UI video, targeting video, and more coming very soon.

Alright I need help. I had to reinstall windows during the 24 hour maintenance so i lost all settings and did a fresh ffxiv install and patched. Now I cannot get my crossbar to come up, I have tried everything I can think of but I have not seen my crossbar since logging in. Anyone gone through the new settings and noticed changes I may be missing?

did you click the mouse to gamepad switch in the character configuration window?

Simple question: is there any way to have the enmity bars showing on PS3 for a healer? Or any other class, sure. I also read about a threat meter on PC. Like this:

Do we have it hidden somewhere?

I saw those videos before and they help me a lot.

¿Is there a way to backup "character configuration"? sometimes when i change one of those "values" in a dungeon i have to re arrange all of them again.

If you look closely" the meter" in your picture, it shows the remaining life of the mobs. It is the color of the little icon that shows the level of enmity (Green, yellow, red). This section is the enmity list it refers to section 12 on PC of screen below and 11 on PS3 screen

Look at the party list, top left, just below the icon of the role (lancer) this is where enmity for the mob you are targeting shows for each party member
In this screen it is full because only one character has the aggro

Oh, all right, thanks!! Now I understand what that window (11 on PS3) is about. I thought it was the health. Still in the party list of 4 the enmity doesn't appear. I have seen it now on the full party of 8 only. Did I mess up my configuration?! 0.o

It must be somewhere you can go to HUD options you will see if all UI parts you want are visible.

But so to be clear (sry english not my 1st langage)

- Enmity list (should be called ennemy list): It lists all enemies that have aggro. The bar is the current health, the color of the Icon is the aggro (Green someone else has the aggro, Yellow you are about to get the aggro or Red you have the aggro)

- Party List : (top left of the screens previous post) just below icon of the role, there a little bar that shows the enmity that each party member has toward ennemy you are targeting

Sorry not directly related but have you made any videos for Limit Break?
Archer is easy but thm/blm i could never seem to know how to use the Limit Break.
I am guessing that you do not target any enemies, press the button and move your analogue into position perhaps?

Thanks again, Thaliss. Something is definitively wrong. This is my situation:

- Solo: Selected to show in UI config. I see the enmity
- Chocobo/Summon: I see the enmity
- Full Party: Fine as well
- Light Party: Nothing. Just the icons of the classes. Nothing below that.

Obviously this is also a PITA to check since I'd need to ask three people to join just to allow me configure, in case, this crap. Unless it is a bug. I may open a bug report, then.

It shouldn't reset, because the character config info is saved on your machine, not on the server.

It will only show emity meters in the party window for the target you are currently targeting.

Never though about limit break videos, but now that you mentioned it, I will be adding them to the list of videos to come. ;)

For BLM you basically have to use limit break, aim the glowing area to the area you want to attack, hit confirm. :)

Make sure that you are checking emity on the target you are currently attacking, if no one else is attacking it, it will not have meters under their class icon in the party window.

btw... Got super busy this holiday season and didn't update this thread much... back on track now... lots of videos added to the first post.

New video on quick tips for leveling using the Duty Roulette and Party Finder that were added in patch 2.1

Donate? I never even thought about taking donations. LOL! I guess I would be able to do more with more money, but for now... how about just spreading the word... That's all I need. :)
