PvP actions and traits and gearsets

[Rubeus_Carcer]

@Parz3val: because if they were to save the PvP actions to the character config by class or by gearset (as was the original suggestion) then it would push the gearset over the memory limit per set to save. This would mean longer load-times or user-side saving which could potentially lead to cheating or user-side lag if it were to be saved locally, and also be completely impossible to do on a PS3 or PS4 unless you jailbroke linux on it. The hotbar portion of it was an example of how much room they get to work with. In other words, the hotbar settings were brought up as ONE method of making accessing pvp skills easier, while they do understand the reset is bothersome.

It's a temporary solution to a long-term problem, but at least they're aware of it.

I’d like to share a pretty in-depth response about this from UI lead Hiroshi Minagawa.

[■] PvP: Enable customization for when weapon is drawn　←Add this one.
　[□] Hotbar 1　　[■] Hotbar 5
　[□] Hotbar 2　　[■] Hotbar 6　　
　[□] Hotbar 3　　[□] Hotbar 7
　[□] Hotbar 4　　[□] Hotbar 8

This. Magnificent. This would do just nicely.

Hi there, JonMcFluffy!

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’d like to share a pretty in-depth response about this from UI lead Hiroshi Minagawa.

I like the way that Minagawa-san tells us about the features he’s thinking about in order to implement wishes the community has. (^_^ )-b I would like to see more of that from the Development/Planning team.

Camate, could you let them know that we very much appreciate that Minagawa-san shares information like that with us? The more idea’s they share, the more input/feedback the community can give in response. (^_^ )

It would be great if Yoshida-san could do a poll every once and a while, like he did at the beginning when took over the team and looked for feedback from the community in preparation of the development of 2.0.

Well, here's hoping FFXVI is PC exclusive.

Dang, PS4 limitations already. That was quick!

I'm excited about this. I can finally use "PS4 Limitations" as part of my excuse repertoire now!

If I make a suggestion, perhaps for Camate to see.

As there is a strict post size limit, I've saved this on pastebin, and it can be viewed Here

Essentially, reduce the size of each hotbar setting to around 1KB or 2KB per set. (someone feel free to check my math here).

Edit:
Ok, and it just occured to me - If you allow us to have just two hotbar sets per job; a PVP and a PVE set? And you use this method for saving hotbars? 2KB or 4KB per job and class. Assuming the craft jobs only use a single hot bar set, for DoW and DoM you'd be using 32KB or 64KB total per player.

With DoH/DoL added, you'd be using 54KB or 108KB total per player. That's pretty small!

Dang, PS4 limitations already. That was quick!

thing is, it isn't PS4 limitations, it is infact PS3 limitations. the PS4 could easily handle what he was speaking of and not run out of memory. the PS3 is just about at its memory cap. the PS4 isn't even close
note: after re-reading it I noticed sony placed an artificial limit on the PS4 with its file backup service. hopefully they will change that. it's rather stupid

so basically it's sony holding back the game on the PS4 not the PS4 itself ~rolls eyes~

Please don't make it a requirement for the weapon to be drawn in order to enable a PVP-only hotbar.

I never use the "Enable customization when weapon is drawn" option because then I'd need to put a mount / Sprint on a different hotbar when not in combat.
