PS3 users playing with pc users

Hi everyone

I really don't know why but never got it when in the betas but pc gamers please know that when you play with ps3 gamers the UI and controls are really different you have keyboard and mouse so easy to play a game like this but with the ps3 UI we have this

To work with please understand we are going to be a little slower than you as I know keyboard and mouse wins on speed every time.

So if you playing with a ps3 gamer please be nice to them and understand we may be slow and don't be rude I've had about six people say I'm a S**T Tank I don't need this I thought this game community was really nice in the beta I'm new to FF14 AAR I'm loving it but please respect other gamers in here.

I'm on PC and have been using the cross hotbar just fine.

Just takes a little getting used to, but it actually works out very well.

I use controller, no problems for me

Well I'm a ps3 gamer and know the controller inside out game feels slow on the Ui i feel it may just be me but the respecting others it a big thing on a game like this i feel when I've seen people with low health fighting I've healed them.
i just feel people are rushing and not relaxing making friends and enjoying the game i hope im the only one that has got grief it's not nice.

I wish the community stayed as it was in the beta too :'C. It seems like the LoL community is strangling internet gaming at every turn.

One thing in this game I've found is missions are fine you meet nice people help out if you see someone about to die to heal them but the duty finder always puts some healer that if i don't protect them every second the get all upset all me a rubbish tank leaves like at the moment I'm stuck on titan as I've had so many people leave But what happen from the beta to now ? i just need to get though Titan :'(

Same, it's like one mess up means the end of the world to people on the game nowadays. In beta, it really seemed like everyone was chill (phase 3 speaking). Now, it seems like some people want you to be absolutely perfect, one mistake and people say you suck. Guess we aren't allowed to learn from our mistakes?

Anyways, don't take their insults to heart, brush it off and keep going. If they insult you, tell them to chill out and ask them what they'd suggest you to do.

yeah I've said to them i can't protect everyone at the same time if they are running about i thought the tank was a shield and fighter that can hit hard at the same time taking the hits so the healer can heal and then others can get in a fight too i do this and get bitched at

As the dungeons get rougher people get angrier. Everyone wants to one-shot everything but sometimes that doesn't happen. People make mistakes. We shouldn't have to worry about being insulted every time we make one. I've been frustrated too with parties that make the same mistakes over and over. I usually just bitch to my FC or friends list and not the actual person. :3

I play on PC, and I've been using the controller/crossbar since early beta days and don't plan to stop anytime soon. I love the controller controls. I, personally, find them extremely easy to use. Extremely easy. So, really, I don't know how anyone could possibly be having problems keeping up with others using it. Heck, in some way, I find it easier than using the keyboard!

the thing for me is that there is a Global cooldown, that is the great leveler as far as im concerned when it comes to the platforms, everyone has 2.5s between button presses to decide what they are going to do or switch between hotbars. If that isnt enough time for you then you need to learn to use your keyboard or controller better. Personally i hate the GCD because i feel the animation is long enough and can get bored waiting between presses because it slows combat needlessly.

if they wanted to balance it they could of just added real cooldowns on stuff.

thank you for your replies i feel i need to find a group of people just to hangout with and do the main 4 and other missions with thank you again. ^.^ I'm watching other that play FF14 ARR on youtube to get tips on combat and stuff i know i need to learn a bit more on things but ill get there.

I am loving using the controller and like it much more than mouse and keyboard. That being said I do have two minor complaints:

1. I am not a fan of moving onto the next target with a controller. I find that the game does not usually select the next closest enemy but might highlight another player instead. This can be annoying in combat but solved easily by when I press "tab" on my keyboard. Is there actually a way to target the next enemy with just a controller? I am accepting that I might just be doing something wrong.

2. I kind of wish pushing R2 and L2 at the same time would bring up a third option of abilities.

Minor things, nothing major.

I just quoted you for another thread Love your opinion for L2+R2 cause I'm really having an issue with not liking the PS3 Hotbar for more endgame stuff.

I love using the ps3 controller and would use controller if I played on PC. Once you get used to it you can play just as fast as anyone on PC regardless of what anyone says. Also a lot of people on PC use gamepad making it no different from PS3.

Now on to the community... well where to start? In my opinion, the only thing I am disappointed with in this game is the community, or rather the people who give everyone a bad name. There are so many asses around pushing you to go faster than possible, telling you you're doing it wrong when really they are in the wrong and generally just insulting people for no reason.

The one thing that really annoys me is the discrimination against PS3 players, because it seems everyone on PC is against PS3 players and a lot to the point of not inviting you. I really hope these are just WoW/LoL players who are getting their 1 month fix and leave, but something deep down fears for the future of this game. Not because it's a bad game because it's fantastic, but of what the vocal minority will make it.

I play on PC using a 360 controller and there are some unique challenges but I haven't really had anyone call me out on it.

But they really need to expand the crossbar.
L+buttons, R+buttons AND L+R+buttons.

I'm on PC and I prefer 360 controller over k/m. I play every other game with k/m.

I feel that i'm actually faster and more organized with the controller and my UI isn't loaded with a crap ton of hotbars.
