targeting/action bar fix should be priority 1

I honestly did not think the action bar could be made worse for the mouse/keyboard users, the fact u cant change your camera angle with the mouse because when u do so it switches from using the action bar to targeting with arrow keys, which means you cant then change the action bar row.

There is also this http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...t-of-a-monster which is the same problem just a different situation

Basically, we need a PC UI, 1.18 made this bug feel worse, it now drops from the action bar even when im using i,j,k,l. which i am not happy with, we've been told you are fixing battle and your 1st patch makes it worse...

Yeah, I find the game is difficult to play with a keyboard and mouse... May I recommend you hook up an Xbox 360 or PS3 Controller?

I think right click allows you to drag the camera angle... but it's still difficult. :(

I have used a gamepad (both ps3 and xbox360) at release but it just did not feel responsive enough due to the lack of number keys, so I found myself an awesome mouse with numbers on the side (razer naga) for quick use of the number keys on my right hand so leaves my left hand free for wads and arrow keys (belkin n52/razer nostromo). It worked perfectly before the arrow keys were given targeting control too.

It just makes me quite angry i cant test this fun looking new content (good job btw) in a way i feel an mmo should be controlled.

If I had a kick butt mouse I would e using it too.. lol. The game feels pretty good with the controller now that we have auto attack... but I understand your pain on this one :(

I'm having this same problem. It made my pt wipe during a raid because I couldn't get back to the bar with my cure spells on it. And no, I don't want to switch to a controller... I want to use the keyboard and have it not be broken.

The game should cater to both play styles, especially since it hasn't launched for any of the consoles yet. Keyboard support should be priority #1.
