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

[Delmontyb]

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.

They are adding more action bars on screen in the future.

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.

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.

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!!

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

Yeah really, ALT+1, SHIFT+1, CTRL+1 etc. please.

- won't be mapped for some reason on the regular keyboard, but on numpad its menu, and + on the numpad is one of the only mappable keys that I have left, and I really don't want it to go into adding more numbers to the action bar to make it look like every other mmo that goes from 1-+/=, I personally find it great XIV tried to have a unique action bar and find it funny everyone wants a f2p copy of the action bar. The only thing I'd personally ask is them to remove the action bar and give us macros back, I know I know people hate this, but the action cost system is a little insane sometimes when you're cross classing effectively for the role you want to fill, and I have almost all three bars filled with abilities and the 3rd row is abilities with huge recast timers and raises, and buffs, basically less used spells. The fact that the less used spells are necessary in oh crap moments but pretty much underused irks me to no end, if we had the menu back from xi but streamlined to be easier for dumb people (lol i'm being mean but i'm kinda half joking i understand the ui of xi is intimidating at first), I can could use all the spells I want and macro more important spells. Battle macros is this game become useless after awhile since they change the battle system, since we get used to way the battle system is and our macros suddenly don't make it any easier (like battle regimens or buffing macros). I'd like to use macros for more than just gear changes honestly. I'd like crtl and alt to switch between my 2nd and 3rd bar of abilities on the action bar during battle too instead of macros. On keyboard pressing 1-0 isn't hard, but think about controller, my boyfriend played xi on xbox, and he'd really like the ability to have crtl and alt ( or triggers for the control) be more tied to the action bar then his macro.

What that man said, 30 abilities is not enough?
Its freakin damn easy to press 1-0 with control and alt.
More buttons is a bad thing.

What really needs to happen is to enable us to set SKILLS TOO on these slots except just macros so we can SEE the cooldowns, not just feel them...

think i have to agree with the "ALT+1, SHIFT+1, CTRL+1", its much easier for Keyboard players than you think.
And i doube gamepad players will have much problem navigating 3 actions bars with the controller cross.
