Easier Crossbar & Targeting VIDEO Tutorial

[Jonathan12uiz]

I was expecting something completely different, that was a great quick tutorial. I thought I had it how I wanted it but the way you set it up is way better. The sheathed/unsheathed idea is amazing.

Thanks. Reading all the guides just wasn't clear enough for me so I kept playing with things till I found out exactly what they did and how they helped.

Thanks. Liked and subscribed.
I have both versions and was looking for a way to make tanking viable on ps3 since playing with a controller on a big tv is a lot more comfy for long gaming sessions.

A nice healer in a dungeon told me about target filtering, but the whole crossbar setup you have using the sharing options and whatnot was a really great idea.

Would love to see guides for dungeon boss mechanics, crafting, as well as any tips you have for orgainizing the menus. Flipping through all the logs and stuff as well as looking for stuff on the map can be a big pain with a controller.

Since I am running out of quests to lvl up my alternate classes... I've been looking at a lot of dungeon guides I can make as well as figuring out crafting... I'll keep in mind what you requested and try to get you guys consistent helpful content.

Watched the video, loved it. However I cannot seem to get my set 8 hot bar to cycle through different class options. Ever time I switch class and set a class icon, to my set 8 hot bar, it stays the same class icon, when i switch back.I want 15 icons to stay the same ,and One to change, when i change class. What am I doing wrong?

Ok, I followed the crossbar tutorial to a Tee and while I was able to get the targeting to switch when I sheath and unsheath my weapon, I can not get the crossbar to switch with it. I have the settings to 1 and 8 for sheathed weapons and 2 and 3 for unsheathed, and when I have my weapon put away it goes between 1 and 8 no problem, but when I take my weapon out it still stays on 1 and 8, even tho my targeting changes and the settings say 2 and 3.

I'm not sure if maybe it's a glitch or not, but I can't figure this out and I'm going crazy! ; ;

I hope I'm making sense.

Make sure that you don't have any other crossbar filters checked in the menus... There is a hierarchy systems and some functions override others.

I figured it out! I had those hotbars empty. I thought it would switch to them and then I could fill them up, but I filled them up with actions first and now they switch back and forth just fine! : 3

Thank you for the great tutorial!

Also, do you know if there is a shortcut button to open up the map? If there is, I can not find it. ^^;;;;

Glad you figured it out. On PS3 and gampad setups square opens the map and triangle jumps.

Excellent info! I've been playing less than a week and this thread has been a tremendous help!

So I just spent a good chunk of time with your set up. The out of combat menu kept getting in my way so I went with my combat menu. However I fixed the targeting issues I had. My tanking efficiency went up greatly. A LOT less hassle.
