SE we don't need to face target to Heal!!

[Sushi]

Pharazon, you are off topic and if you keep going this direction, your gonna talk about human nature.

I am giving my suggestion based on my experience in game, I'm just making sure my advice is been heard., and whether they are gonna implement it or not it's their business. I don't care. If there are enough details that bother me I will quit the game silently and that's my business not yours thanks for your concern I don't want to discuss about this here either.

I don't think making this change will affect anybody, unless you like to see the animation of facing the target to heal. it's redundant to make healers facing the target when they heal. I think my suggestion is good, I think it will make the game better. There is no need to make macros or change settings when a player doesn't want to facing the target to heal automatically.

I guess it could be a convenient change, but imo Legacy is the superior setting for better control and maneuverability during battle, so makes no difference to me.

I feel that legacy is better for players who use controller but I'm using keyboard.

I was not off topic at all. You are requesting a change in behavior to a system (character model not turning to face target) which already has a perfectly fine solution in legacy camera settings which makes you run based on the direction of your camera rather than your character model. This makes the direction your character model is facing irrelevant and accomplishes exactly what you are asking for. I simply pointed that out and commented on how people always seem to want to change things that even have an existing solution just because its not EXACTLY what they want. That bit was slightly off topic but hardly getting to the point of discussing human nature.

While you seem to think there is no need to have a character face the target they are healing, the fact that FFXIV has head tracking when you are looking at things goes to a level of immersion that the DEVELOPERS want (not necessarily the players) and I would imagine that healing falls into that same design philosophy and as such is part of the "feel" of the game. Its what they want to present to you, and they have given you a way to mitigate some of the negative side effects of that knowing that players like you (and btw me, I have to have my directions camera based, not character based) would want to not have their movement governed by character model facing. They had the option to implement the solution you are talking about as it already exists in multiple other MMOs, and chose the one they have now to preserve their design philosophies.

The fact is people always want to change things the way they want and that's human nature and this forum is a place to say our words, express our opinions.

SE will gather all the information and see if they really need to do so. That's why I need to say what exactly I want. You don't need to feel bad about people claiming there needs in a forum.

I think this design is no good. that's all. It messes my direction while I'm not using legacy.

I use m/kb as well. The issue you describe is the same regardless and is likewise solved with Legacy. Like I said, it'd be nice if they had an option for everything. I think people are just trying to help you find a solution that you can use right now.

yea there were two people in this thread trying to help me, thanks to them.

I feel fine when I play FFXI in the legacy mode but feel funny in ffxiv I don't know why.

[Rissy]

What's wrong with Legacy mode? I don't see why it'd make anyone dizzy <_<

[Hocchi]

As a matter of fact, yes!

and I don't need to change setting or make macros because of this when I play WOW, so yes I'm asking SE to change this. if you have any objection make another thread to say SE plz don't make any change.

Maybe in your eyes, I'm lazy. However in my opinion, the best solution is for SE to make a change, not their customers.
A good programer should make his program suit users' convenience, not the reverse.

Perhaps you should go back to WoW.

Actually I don't need to face the target when I heal. It's the switching setting whenever I need to heal that is annoying.

If I solo I usually turn on facing target automatically, but when I am doing a dungeon, I turn it off.

it's the on and off thing I dont want to do all the time, so why don't SE just change it to auto facing target only when your DPSing

So you're complaining about having to bring up a menu and push a button. Just macro your abilities with /ft prior to using them every time like OPneedNerfs suggested. Fixed in a few minutes.
