Can we save our macro pallets to the server?

for now, you can save them to an external hard drive or flash drive. Easy as pie.

Also macros are good for custom emotes, or long strings of actions that would normally have you switching action bars between actions. They're also good for using potions mid battle.

I think this was avail in XI but I never even knew about this for a long time after I quit. Will this be possible in ARR as we are getting lots of pallets to work with, 128 macro slots I believe.

Thanks

128 action slots with the gamepad UI. There would be no seperated macro bars in ARR anymore. In ARR macros exist alongside skills and foods ^^


Oh, and macros are currently good for different crafting skill sets, too. Skill sets for fast crafting, quality crafting, risk crafting and safe crafting.

i dont understand the point of the macros.. other than gear swaps.

There are a few reasons, one reason I use macros is so I can have my main bar in view all the time, then my second bar on all my alt macros and my third bar on all my ctrl macros. What I have also done (before the battle system overhaul) is set one macro use use a few commands one after the other, for example on my LNC I used it to use all my damage boosting actions, collusion and chaos thrust to get maximum hate from my best WS on the tank. I'm also sure people use them for other reasons as well.
