DevTalk: Battle UI Changes and Suggestions - Mockup Included

[Soma]

Hello,

yes, thats alot of information. i like it alot.

ive posted on another thread befor but i think its died.

i am a keyboard and mouse player. sometimes i use a ps3 controller but i just dont care for it.

my issue is this. action bars! i dont know if this is possible but id like to have the action bar stay out anytime im in active mode.

i dont like it when im fighting 2 or more mobs, when 1 mob dies the action bar disappears and i have to retarget to get it back up.(double click)

my wish would be, to go active mode, action bar pops up. tab target , click on skill, mob dies, tab next target, click on skill.

having to double click on mobs or myself just seems to take to much time. if there are no mobs then it should just auto self cast. buffs

yes i do play other mmo's. it works the best. atleast for me.

i played 11 for 4 years with xbox controller. if the controls for 14 were like 11 then that would work too.

right now it just seem way to many clicks and way to clunky.i know they are still working on ui and controls. hopefully they will address these things.

(id use f8 to target but it never selects the right one >.<)

Hm, that's odd, I could have sworn that I wrote that in my OP. I guess I didn't, heh.

Yes, I totally agree. Sometimes it's just more convenient to have the action bars onscreen the whole time. There might be some new information in regards to that in that huge JPN dev post that Mocchi just made, I dunno. I'm still looking through it.

Good news, it's under consideration.
