[dev1123] - Can we have all 3 Action Bars showing up at once?

It'll definitely free the "up" and "down" keys for another use in the targeting system and relieve a lot of the targeting issues.

In one of the recent Letters or in the patch notes, it was said they are working on that.

I really don't want this unless they can make the bars smaller..I don't want this. There's enough crap cluttering up the screen as it is...we don't need more.

That's why it would be optional. Some people may want to see all their bars at once. Some may not.

I, for one, would like the option to be able to display all three bars (or just one or just two), change the orientation (horizontal or vertical), and adjust the scale (make them larger or smaller).

Switching between action bars right now is awkward, and in the heat of battle it can cause disaster.

go back to menu style

I like this idea

If they go back to Menu Style , everything will be Macros as FFXI.... 3 Bars and freedom of customization its a must ^^

Suggestion about dev1123

Please, i want to see myself on party list!

I would like this a lot. I know in other games what I've liked to do is put my faster and more common skills on the main numbered bar, and then use the mouse to activate slower or less common ones. Being able to use keys and the mouse at once makes everything much more efficient for me.

Another suggestion I would like though is to add keyboard binding options for rotating the action bars. As it is, using the arrow keys is horribly clunky, because sometimes the action bar is active and sometimes it isn't. I have, on several occasions, let people die because I hit the arrow key to switch to the bar containing a healing spell but the action bar wasn't active so I switched targets instead. If I could set the rotation to, say, - and =, I would have no issues with this whatsoever.

Playing other MMO's I would like to have all 3 showing as well, I like it where I can see all so I can see the recast timers at once. I already know this will be optional where you can use it the way it is now + for those like us we can make it show all 3.

Wonder which key they planning to use to switch between bars, other games I played normally have CTRL++key or CTRL+-key or CTRL+(action/macro line#) maybe just up and down like we have now but changing focus?? I guess that works. Wonder if you can rotate the bars horizontal/vertical...

you know menu style could work as well if they wanted to whatever action/spell you chose just shows up in menu style in classic Final Fantasy RPG looks, might be something people want. (just saying)
