/macro

[Jinko]

I just want them to fix it so that macros don't skip lines. So annoying to have to click each equipment macro two times to get all the gear on. It already takes way too much time for a macro with several lines to execute when you press it one time...

Agree with this.

Can we please get 20 lines as well instead of 10.

Rather than having a static number (for example 20), it would be better to have new lines being added dynamically when all the existing lines are in use. This way it scales and you can have an infinite amount of macro lines.

Another useful thing would be to allow having the Macro Window open alongside the Equipment Window, and then being able to SHIFT-CLICK an item from an equipment slot and have it automatically add a new macro line with the equip comment for the corresponding equipment slot/item. For example if I have the Paragon's Crown equiped and I would like to get the macro for equiping this item to my head slot, I would simply SHIFT-CLICK my head slot (which has the crown equiped) and it'll inser the /equip line in my macro.

Something else that would be useful is to have the server remember what equipment you had equiped when you switch classes. So when you switch back to a certain class, it will re-equip all the gear you previously had equiped. Similar to how the actionbar works.

Also, +1 for not skipping any lines. I find myself having to press the same macro multiple times, sometimes up to 5 times. It gets annoying and it's unreliable to the point you have to open the equipment menu constantly to check to see if it worked. Ontop of that it is of course annoying, mentioned above, that you have to press 2 separate macro's to get your full gear + accessories swapped. And, the other annoying thing is that it takes so long to switch gear. Why can't it be instant? Please fix all of these usability flaws.

The thing you asked about remembering the equipment will come at a later date, possibly with 2.0. No more need of equipment macros then.
Also, changing equipment is slow because every single thing you do in FFXIV has to be confirmed with the server to prevent cheating.

Agreed, you don't' even need to shift click every item, you could just click a button at the top of the gear window to generate a macro based on what you are wearing.


Being able to edit macros via a text editor when not in game // FFXIV log folder would be handy also.
