Easier Crossbar & Targeting VIDEO Tutorial

[Michelasso]

Yeah unfortunately lockon is attached to draw/unsheathe... I don't have too many issues with it, but I guess i trained myself to do a combination of buttons subconsciously.

Another hint: if you are in unarmed mode and get attacked just use auto-attack on the enemy and it switches to armed mode with all the most needed hotbars. My problem is that since I use mages I removed it. That's why I was doomed.

And yes, L2/R2+L1/R1 cycles through all enemies selecting them!! Another life saviour that I discovered only after 25 levels. It was simply a nightmare to switch using arrows and then X. I also tried using the arrows as in the hotbar in your video, that didn't do much. Now instead I do FATEs switching between enemies in a breeze.

hmm I should try using the auto attack button instead of the stance button now that you mention it... LOL! as for using the arrows like in my old setup... i removed those once I had more skills. I'm a bit OCD and I don't like empty spots on my crossbar... LOL!

Yesterday it was a mess. I switched to CNK to do some dungeons fast (you get selected immediately as a healer) for the loot, and the new setting drove me crazy. That stupid Lock is ridiculous! Why didn't SE put a single button for sheathe/unsheathe?! I am going to write a bug report for that. And I want it on L1. Such a great job the did with the game on PS3 ruined by the most stupid things.

It is mentioned that with 2.1 we can config the button for sheathe/unsheathe only without target-lock if we wish.

thanks.. that helped a lot... too bad we cant exclude summoner's pet which are friendly units.. i get sooo annoyed targeting those at fate/dungeons.

i'll try the L1/R1 switch later.. im sure that'd come in handy.. ^_^

Same thing happened to me while playing on Friday
6+ years without issues (the original fat 60 gig model) then bam
Is it the yellow light? Because that is fixable
You just need to change the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU
I will be repairing mine this week.
I do also hope SE adds more menus for us

Yeah mine was a FAT 40GB... never any issues. I believe the fan just died and it overheated... I'm not using it at the moment so i can try and save the HDD...
