Quick Question.
Is there a way to map UI, settings from one character to the next so as not to have to format each character? Was looking at a "save" option etc.
Thanks for any help.

Not yet, however, I believe they are implementing somehting for this in patch 2.1. check the dev tracker in the thread "Some suggestions, mostly quality of life, obvious things" if it was listen in forums, its likely in this thread somewhere

I found a way to do this by finding the files in my documents and copying them to the other characters I have I am currently in work so can't explain easily with out use of my computer I will update this in a few hours with how I did it

Also just a quick question was wondering the reason for alts as this game seems to lean away for the need of alts

I'll pick a main, get him up and raiding with a guild, then go back and work on my alts as either a distraction from my main, a chance to raise other crafters, learn the other classes real well, and to eventually raid them, etc. It's just a fun thing for me to do as part of my overall game-play.Quote:

What pains me most is that hotbar is job based and I hate that x(

10-03-2013, 01:18 AMFireflyI'm with ya, buddy. I like having alts that have different play styles. And this game does promote having alts, despite what people seem to think. Why else would you be able to create up to 8 characters on one world (40 characters max). Some people might like playing different races, some just have active imaginations and want different types of characters that don't all play the same style. To each his/her own, I say.Quote:

I just mean you can be every class and job on 1 character so there is little reason to make alts un less rping or want diff races but as I Saud will show how to do it once home will be about an hour will make it a guide and post it on here.
Also not sure what you mean Raphael about being job specific but I do think it is an option you can change in character settings as I have common bars and separate bars for jobs hope that helps you just check out the settings -

However, now that I'm reaching that point (already reached it with my Miqo'te and my Hyur, not yet with my Elezen) I'm finding that I'm too attached to each of my characters to abandon any of them. :rolleyes:Quote:

I've read something about that (whole lot of info to absorb when starting a new game), but then I have to question why one can be a paladin, or a bard etc. Class choice, having to make a class in the beginning. Can a Pally become a bard? Am I way off base with this? I'm still sorting it all out (which is why I'm on this board LOL), but I'm sure it will start to make sense as I learn.Quote:

It's possible to advance a single character in all eight adventuring classes, all eleven crafting/gathering classes, and all nine jobs.
At a given moment, you're only advancing one class, and have full access to one class or job. (Some skills, however, can be assigned as cross-class skills, so there are advantages to leveling up other classes as well.) To change classes once you've unlocked them, you simply change your equipped weapon/tool. To change jobs (once unlocked) you change your equipped soul crystal. -

With the hotbars you can just go into character configuration and select Hotbar Options. Under the Sharing tab you can select which hotbars change when you change classes and which stay the same no matter what. I carry 1 universal hotbar and three that change with class at the moment.
