No, I'd much, much rather have my action bar. If I were playing this on a console with a controller, sure, I'd like a menu. Seems to me a menu like that would be frustrating with a keyboard/mouse, though.

If it was implemented as in XI, where we also had access to 3 hotbars, I could care less if they added this.

But since I primarily use keyboard + mouse, I would much rather that they spend the resources on improving the current hotbar system, and gave us access to 3 (or 4) hotbars on screen and all with hotkeys as in most other modern (and very old) MMOs.

i think the current system is ok for controller but for keyb and mouse it could be improved by just fixing the action bar and give US the option how many of the bars we would like to see 1-2 or 3. I don't think this would be a huge thing to do and already help a lot.

But they catering to pc, ps3 controller and mouse keyb. and so far both systems need a lot of polishing still.

Why do people want a hotbar like we have now when everyoe is using macros?

The old (ffxi) menu was much more pleasing to the eyes and simpler to use, not to mention we had a really good macro system as well.

Yes to bringing the old ffxi menu into 14!

I never use macros in combat, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about, there. >_>

For me, I find it much easier and faster to click 1 or 2 (ctrl / alt) keys to activate an ability or macro, than navigating a menu.

Having hotbars does not mean you can not tie macros to each slot, we already do that.

What I, and quite a few others would like, is to have 3 (or more) hotbars visible, so cooldown and whatever else info might be relevant is easy to see.

You are aware that having 2 or 3 hotbars usually means using ctrl/alt+1/2/3/4/5/etc in order to use the skills of said hotbars...BUT ctrl/alt are tied to MACROS.

The old menu allowed us to easily see a timer for skills/magic, access weapon skills with ease AND allowed us to easily use macros without taking away the original menu (which ff14 does, as long as you hold a macro key your original hotbar disappears and gets replaced by the macro hotbar.)

Yes to bringing ff11 menu system, again.

It doesn't have to. They could use shift, for instance. Or, they could even leave it as it is, so you have to push up/down to move to other rows, but at least you can see all the cooldowns at once.

Because we NEED more keys to push XD

wasd ro move, jkli for camera, 1 to 9 for skills...more stuff to get into passive mode/aggresive mode... menu.. ctrl and alt for macros...ow we would need an extra key for arrow keys? XD
