    Action Bar - Please add the (-) and (+) buttons to the interface

    Hello,
    If for some reason these buttons are being used, and I just haven't found out what they are doing, then let me know, otherwise I would like to request that the "-" key and the "+" key get incorporated into the Action bar.

    This would open it up to allow for more actions to be equipped on one bar at a time. As well as allow users to select the action they want via pressing those keys to do the action as well.

    Currently the system goes from 1 to 0 on the keyboard, adding the - and + key would allow for 12 actions to be equipped per page.

    Thanks so much for listening, looking forward to all the updates.

    Since the action bar is used in battle, not only do we need to look into the possibility of changing the UI, but we also need to discuss how this change would affect battles with the battle team lead. Making this change would require the entire key mapping settings to be revamped, so it's a little bit difficult to implement, but we will look into the possibility with the team leads.

    Hi Bayohne.
    I was wondering while were talking about user interface issues, could we possibly be given the option to change our window style similar to other final fantasy type games? Also was wondering if we could change the window style and target curser to that classic final fantasy style white border with blue background and the finger cursor thats been in just about every FF game to this point. I just feel it would make it feel more like a final fantasy title with these changes. By the way, you guys are awesome! Keep up the good work!!

    Thank you for responding Bayohne, and I mean you no offense with this response; and appreciate your representation here, but the game balance should not be relying on the UI to hinder players from performing well. If that's part of the ongoing discussions on how to balance the game then something is wrong.

    Players value fluid combat so much, and the limits placed on the task bar through 1-0 and only one action bar on the screen at a time kill the fluidity.

    Revamping is the name of the game, or so I thought. Please do.

    I don't know why you singled out this one over the others. If it's just to say it's too hard i'm going to repost what i said in the other dev thread: "90% of reviews mention the controls" "90% of reviews are terrible" I'll get you a link for the wiki after. Now, if you're just going to sit on these reviews well i just don't think it sends a very positive message to the market...

    rather then adding 2 more buttons that are still so far away from your hands. Would rather just have full access to your binds. Letting you bind q / e / z / x / alt+q / alt+e etc etc basically everything near WSAD as abilities. I know the devs aren't exactly known for letting players have full control of binds but would be nice to see in this game, since it hasn't really been in most of the other SE released games.

    I'd rather have both. 2 more action bar spaces AND be able to rebind the action bar slots to any key.
