Is the Double Cross Hotbar anywhere close!?...

[Morbid]

I still don't understand, unless you're sharing all your hotbars between classes (which no one should be doing) there is still a huge amount of space available?

Even if each job needs 3 hotbars, that's still 5 hotbars left for other stuff! What on earth do you fill the 5 leftover hotbars with? General commands and... emotes??? It reaches the point where it's just as easy to access them via the menu instead of searching through your hotbars for commands you hardly ever use...

Just seems like ad odd thing for them to spend time developing, but I hope you get an update since you seem to really want it.

Maybe if you were primarily a console or controller player you might get a bit more why the OP is asking. I also remember them mentioning increasing the cross hotbar for more quick access with controller. (No not just the current options but additional ones). I recall it being mentioned just around the announcement of some HW details.

I play as NIN main and about 80% of the actions I would want to quickly access are setup fine it really is just like one or two more of the (8 slot) cross hotbars options needed. I don't know about others but I have very few macros and none of them are actually combat oriented.

Double weaving and just accessing skills in general is much faster than any macro you could do.

Just a note. You don't access 16 skills at a time with cross hotbar it's 8 at a time. There are areas where other 8 action accesses could be implemented.

I'm also confused as to what you're placing on the cross bar. Are you putting things like emotes on it?

I am a console/controller player. Each job has 2 or three bars for combat. I have one bar shared among all jobs for general commands (teleport, dig, a few favourite mounts and minions etc), then one bar for emotes.

I suppose my point is I don't see how you can have 8 bars worth of COMMONLY ACCESSED commands. Yes, you can fill it with stuff you occasionally/rarely use, but at the point it's equally as quick to access it from the menu.

Anyway, just my view. I've never come across anyone who needed more hotbar space before.

Same here. I may not have been clear with my post, but I was agreeing with you and asking the OP what they have on their hotbar. ^^ Sorry for any confusion. While we could put every emote, minion, mount, and menu on the hotbar for quick access, I don't find it necessary. There are other ways to quickly get to them.

Oh, I see now! Yes, I misinterpreted your post, sorry!

I am a primary controller player and I still don't understand why he needs all that space.
Hotbar shortcuts are for what you need to access quickly. You can do a ready call, check your team status or FC page by the xmb like menu.
Same for config, HUD, macros menu, etc...

You also don't need to have Bestiary for your crafters/gatherers, Fishing log for anything but fisher, craft log for anything but crafters, etc...5 shared hotbars is HUGE.
