Thread: Patch 2.16 and gamepad issues

If I experience it again I will do my best to take better notes on what exactly is happening but once I unlocked and re-lock it returns to normal operation. It has only happened since 2.16.

Semi-on-topic... please consolidate the Waymarks in with the Target Markers... in other words, no need to have Shift+M & Ctrl+M Panes.

And consolidate ready-checking & way-marking to party leaders only.

The legacy setting make you character trun and always run the direction you want (except if you lok the mob) so if think you want to change your setting to not legacy.

I think what you get is what it should be. I play with the pad in legacy setting and that's how it works and worked in FFXI too.

They actually have fixed this now

Also updated original post to reflect the fixes already made by SE.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this or if someone already gave this suggestion, but here it goes:
As a PS3 player I find healer roles a bit unfriendly using the gamepad, specially on CT. Since we have to hover the target circle around, basicaly, everything on the screen to target someone who needs help, it gets very hard to help the other alliances, it's hard to even ress a dead player...

So, I would like to ask: Is there a way to make targetting possible via alliances window, or something?

A friend of mine said "Use the chat command for that", but I don't think it's practical, safe for the party or possible, since PS3 players can't see the other players names on their screen...
