Petition for a differnt combat UI

[danny52844]

almost every MMO i have ever played had atleast 1 thing common. that is they all used skill bars for every ability. I personally hate the idea of that and I've always hated that, it might be the main reason i loved ff11 because they didn't force u to do that. yes people made macros and went staight back to the skill bar pretty much but i didn't which is why i made this thread. I don't want to get rid of the skill bar, that would be stupid because plenty of people enjoy it, i just want an option for a menu (like every ff has when in a battle doesnt have to be like that just saying menus go with FF).

You know what else every other MMO has in common? Good combat.

Yeah right lol. I thought the combat in most of the other MMO's I've played was total garbage personally.

Sure, this game could still use some polish, especially with the server side response times, but the last thing it needs is to take a lesson from the combat in other MMO's.

Anyway, I wouldn't mind a less action bar based combat UI, but I can cope fine with what we have now too. I still like the idea they tossed around back in the beta though, about there being two totally different UI's, one for gamepad players, and one for mouse/keyboard players... Personally I can't play without a gamepad, so yeah, a custom tailored UI specifically with that in mind would be welcome. The action bar just feels more like keyboard thing to me.

But hey, at least this MMO natively supports gamepads... That's a hell of a lot more than I can say for certain other MMO's. :P

Snow Tiger? have you ever tried like a Macro gamepad like a Logitech G13 or something similar? I was like you when I went from 360 to PC with XI and now I have one of those and it's amazing! Just a thought. Liked your post btw.

I loved FFXI UI combat too but xiv isn't xi.

At least for now... but i think it will become soon.

Kidding,

For cereal though, they are working on drag and drop UI and a PC only interface, as stated in previous letters.
