As a new player, I can tell you what the first change to the default game settings I made was: I turned off music while riding. I played around with the UI a bit, later, but the next major change was fixing the raid info boxes, which by default are smack in the middle of your screen, right where, you know, you're fighting things.
So...anyone remember the first things you changed once you realized you could? Or, alternately, since the game saves UI settings locally, the first changes you make when you get a new computer, or just play on a different one?
Your default changes to base settings?

Since I just upgraded my monitor to 1440p, I had to turned down some of the settings like Transparent Lightning Quality to normal.
I also set the sound effect to 50% and ambient sound to 75% because medium goblet near pool has quite loud waterfall nearby. -

ESDF to move instead of WASD. I despise games that don't let you do this.

So most of my settings are the presets from the PS3. which due to graphical quality had larger... basically everything. These days I have a small TV and my seat is quite far from it, so I emulate that for my current settings on Alts, even if it clutters the screen. Besides that, I add a fourth text box with all my preferred channels, so I can read things I want with out them getting bogged down, but still switch back so I can look at what the team wants me to see, and I fix my Hotbars (Set up the Cross hot bars for quick switching, and add a timer hotbar so I can keep track of cooldowns off cross hotbar 1.

Changed UI size to 80%. Pushed all my hotbars to the bottom of the screen, placed boss HP slightly above my hotbars. As I started leveling more roles, I changed my UI to fit all.
With tanks, I moved the enmity list next to my hotbars. Healers, I moved the partylist closer to the middle of the screen.
After I got an Ultrawide monitor, I moved the partylist next to my chatbox. -

I have so many tweaks and changes like UI size and placement of various windows like focused target and enemy cast bar, All 4 of my extra "you might want or need this skill or to monitor it's cooldown or maybe use this emote or minion" bars on the sides.
I'm just glad you can back it all up to the server now and when you reinstall just download and poof, back in business. -

set party effects and their sound effects off. Best change I ever made.
then when I realized that there were beneficial circle thingies to stand in occasionally (had a white mage ask me why I wasn't standing in their circle, and my reply was "wait, what circle???") I set it to "show limited" with their help
good ol sprout learning.
good times
EDIT: also finding out that you can set two #98 and #99 macros to the control sticks on controller. Hurray for sprint and mount on R3 and L3. woooo -

I thought about getting a separate rig for windows games
but i cbf changing computers to play a game. so i buy expensive macs instead.
1st world problems
so how hard would you say it is to max settings 4k 60fps this game without any hiccups? -
11-02-2021, 06:05 PMRobynDaBank
Limit party and other NPC battle effects.
-
11-02-2021, 06:09 PMSotarisIf I set it to max i have 80-85 FPS but I have a 4K 144 so I keep it at custom to have 144+, still can't tell a big difference.Quote:

Sometimes I have to use the mouse, for example during quests where you have to zoom in and click on targets or on quests where I have to use items
Ground AoE skills are indeed troublesome. usually i just macro them on a target. Or if necessary I can reach for my mouse with my right hand to use it and then quickly go back to numpad. -
11-02-2021, 07:37 PMYeolThat is very interesting! The reason I asked is because I used to have a similar playstyle when I first started playing the game. But instead of using the numpad for movement and arrows for the camera, I used a PS4 controller :DQuote:

Changed all keybinds to suit my razer game pad and Corsair scimitar mouse. Including changing the movement keys to EDSF.
Reduced everything to 60%, moved all my bars down low, added an extra couple. Brought minimap down beside bars and popped the health bar just above with boss above that.
A bit later I found the auto skip already seen cutscene option, that was probably my highlight. That and I didn’t need ANY add ons to accomplish anything I wanted to do. -

Access to extra hotbars (R2-L2 and double-tap).
Split up the targeted enemy info and put the cast bar at 200% in the middle of the screen so I notice when the boss is casting something.
Shrink and move everything else out to the edges as much as possible while still being readable. PS4 on a smallish TV is a difficult balance of screen space.
Fourth chat tab dedicated to player chat without the system messages. Turn on sound alert for "emotes directed at you".
Mount music settings only need to be adjusted once, but I turned them off right at the beginning. I hate having different music start and stop constantly and I'd rather listen to the zone music anyway. -
