get rid of the move bar

[Karbine]

What if we made the action bar more customizable and you could add additional input under an ability? Reverting to XI just cause you are used to it doesn't make it better. The whole flaw with this game stems from the fact they used nothing from XI they learned and scrapped it all completely.

I am in favor of the action bar. However, I would like the ability to put a macro on the action bar, even if it costs 1 point per macro. It wouldn't be too useful for job switch macros, but battle macros being on the action bar, at least for controller users, would be helpful.

Haha NO!

If they get rid of the action bat they will kill this game, what we need is the ability to turn on more bars, up to 3 additional action bars.

Allow us to add macros directly to the action bar and have the bars displayed all the time.

SE should go look at every other MMO out there and get some ideas for UI, because they obviously have no idea.

Finally give PC user and PS3 users separate interfaces.

Getting rid of the action bar would kill the game? I don't know where you are speaking from, but it isn't the lips on your face. SE have a unique MMo on their hands, and for this very reason, they don't want to copy all the other generic faceless MMo's out there, and instead try something different.

If this game ends up as a WoW clone, I wouldn't think twice about dropping it like a stone. The UI is clunky and needs work, but look at "every other MMO out there" (by which I assume you mean WoW), WoW is still having it's UI changed pretty much every patch, Rift's is awful and very tacky to look at, Aions was nothing to shout about, but they all took a little getting used to and it was fine.

FFXI's is nicely customisable, but very laggy, and should hopefully get updated to be more responsive, but otherwise I like it.

Your views are wildly over the top, as are your predictions lol.

I dont understand the need to add macros to the action bar, when there is already a macro bar. Keeping the two seperate I dont see how it hurts, if you want to use macros use macros, if you want to use the action bar use that. If you dont want it there just move it off of the visible screen.

It may not mean much for keyboard players, but for controller players it means not having to take your hand off the controller to execute a macro.

all i do is play with the controller, why do you need to take off your hand off of the controller? right/left trigger and select relevent macro

also changing gear in a macro serves no purpose at the moment as changing gear mid battle gives no stats for the newly equipped gear.

Maybe we have our controllers set up differently. Or maybe I never realized that functionality existed. I will certainly look into that next time I log in.

Better Idea: Make all 3 action/move bars visible a the same time. . . .

I think the reason people want to add macros to the action bar is for multi line macros. For example, you can have the button for Banish II on the bar, and it offers you to the option for AoE when you press it, but as a macro, you can have it as a one button cast, and also add in any gear swaps, /p lines and use the /aoe on /aoe off command lines, so it's all under one keypress, but this opens a door for exploitation too, as people could automate actions by doing this.
