I couldn't be happier with 1.17b

Reading this post, idk whether to laugh or cry...

I appreciate you trying to figure out what changed, though. Haha. Sorry for the headache.

Edit: I "liked" your post, but not the headache part - just so we're clear.

Lol. No problem. More of a joke about the complexity of it rather than blaming you. And it was something that was bugging me too since I first saw the notes. Wondering "Well what in the hell was the point of all that?" = D

I'm still wondering. I feel not using a controller puts me at a disadvantage (toward understand, I mean).

I don't think this update was necessary considering theres no date for PS3, they do not have to cater for controllers people decided to buy the PC version use a keyboard and mouse. They should not be releasing updates that disappoint the dwindling community, right after they showed a glimmer of hope to recovery with the battle system outlines but alas here we are back on the street gutter.

I'm the same way about the keyboard. I have no idea how you guys play. One time a few months ago my previous controller finally gave out and I played on keyboard for a night(very badly). Just walking around town and doing some local leves was a struggle. I kept having to look up what the keys did on lodestone.

So I'm not exactly sure how to relate it to keyboard users, but with controller you use the d-pad to cycle between your actions and then hit Confirm to do it. So you can have brief moments in battle where you abruptly push up/down on it when the action bar isn't up and you just accidentally changed your targeting setup if in /tmode B or highlighted a party member when that's not what you wanted if in /tmode A. If you use autorun a lot and don't pay attention you can accidentally change your targeting setup like that with /tmode A.

/tmode C sounds nice & simple for easy things, but in a chaotic mess like behest it's nice to use one of the others and target only enemies as a DD or party members as a healer.

Funny

Why they can't just give us ridiculously fast XI macros,<stpc> and <stnpc> is still lost on me. Oh, /assist would be nice too!

After dat mining I can tell you massive amount of new additions were added, unfortunately a lot are not "updates" or something really to post on the frontpage such as Spriggans getting a change. But a lot of hidden still so im sure it will come eventually.

They're busy making a new battle system.

Fixes to the UI would be a waste of time.

Something like that.

I'm also happy with the update Be careful of what we say however, or any thread could be locked, just as this one was http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...Worth-the-Wait.

I'd also like to make a community request to any rep here. It would be very nice if the reason for the lock could be given publically

Back on track, it's nice to see them fixing things like targeting, my wife was playing and wasn't too happy with just a or b

That was the best thread I've ever read on this forum. I don't get what the criteria is.

Also, good luck to your wife figuring out how C is different than A.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm?

Anyways,

UI team and Battle team are two separate entities. Not to mention, from a coding standpoint, ridiculously easy to implement.
