[Archadius]

Haha I expected this to be a "ragequit" thread, but then I noticed the dev post symbol and thought "no way...". Had to look! Funny surprise XD

+1 to table throwing!!

Just input this in the chat box to quit.

I don't know make it the ESC button? you can't hit that by mistake and top of that everyone know that ESC = cancel lol

Make it an X

top right like closing a window.

If it's something like that to click, it won't work so well since this is a controller-based game. I was thinking maybe instead of pressing up/down to select synthesis types, maybe it'd be an option to press right or something to move the cursor over to the cancel button. I dunno, what do you think?

But ESC is mapped to the cancel button on the controller, might be too easy to hit by mistake or out of habit.

How 'bout instead of simply clicking the cancel button, you have to do a "press and hold" click? Hold the button down on "Cancel" for 5 seconds so the game knows you really really mean it!

And seriously, add a table flipping animation. Everybody wants one.

I'd also like to suggest an angry animation for botched syntheses. Right now stuff blows up in our face and we just sit there with blank expressions.

Remember the goldfish scooping events in FFXI, and how sad us poor Tarus looked when our scoops got torn? Something I enjoy the most in FFXIV is watching the expressions on my character's face during cutscenes.

you also have to take into account for the controller aspect of the cancel button, if you make an 'x' close button they would still have the option of accidentally closing it.

Instead why not have a button combo? for controller players you have to push both the square and triangle button (PS3 controller); this is the most unnatural simultaneous button finger placement. On keyboard/mouse configurations use the 'esc' key? I mean you don't really ever need to have you hand over in that area when crafting anyway (since you'd be using the arrow keys to select your synthesis options) and if you are mainly using the mouse you never have to worry about hitting it on accident since there is no on screen "quit" button (but I assume if you have a mouse you have a keyboard, but if you have a keyboard you don't necessarily have a mouse).

That's how I would do it anyway.

This is a possibility, but I'd rather it not work this way. I have a hard enough time with how awkward it is to switch target modes with a controller.

I recommend a typed command. /cancel or something of the sort. Also while on the crafting topic is anymore work being done on the typing while crafting thing? I hate getting interrupted while trying to type when I am crafted every few seconds, this has got to go.

Click on a check box in crafting window makes a option on bottom to cancel.
for keyboard only people like me pressing a specific key turns the check box on/off like "End" key to End/Quit crafting.

at least that key I know I don't press as often as the Esc key and can't say I pressed it by mistake! + have to choose option after checking the box to actually quit.
