3rd Cross bar set?

[Hysterior]

From what I understand, this isn't possible because L2 and R2 are essentially one button; the L2 trigger inputs a positive z-axis value, while R2 inputs a negative z-axis value. So pushing both at the same time results in a cancellation (-100 + 100 = 0), which is the same as not pressing them at all.

ah Yuri...

Or why not just make LB / L1 bring up a 3rd cross bar set when in combat?? It's not like anyone would want to auto-run in the middle of a fight, and occasionally when I'm changing filters by using LB+Y or something I'll accidentally auto-run into a pit of spikes. Just make it so that instead of LB+[button] for a filter change you can customize it to be LB+D-pad. I think 4 more buttons with LB/L1 would be worth it

You can setup Cross bars to only come up during Combat. Its in the menu UI controls.

Crossbar 1 for me in Generic and shared accross all jobs. (Warp,Homepoint,Sprint,Mounts and a generic pull macro)
As soon as I engage it swaps to Crossbar 2 which has all my abilities.

They talked about this on the giant gamepad thread in the beta forums. The L2/R2 was what they said they wanted to put into the game. I think they just didnt do it yet.

Bump.

Because it needs to happen.

You guys just need to use macros. For example I am a dragoon. One of my main combos is:

Impulse Drive > Disembowel > Chaos Thrust

Instead of having the abilities on my bar taking up 3 spaces, I just made a macro:

/ac "Impulse Drive" <t>
/wait 3
/ac "Disembowel" <t>
/wait 3
/ac "Chaos Thrust" <t>

And added that macro to crossbar. Now I\\'m using only one button to use 3 skills. Just an FYI because like someone said, just because games like shooters utilize L2+R2 does not mean every game is capable of it. As it is the PS3s limited memory will not even allow us a keyboard and mouse interface.

A) DUST 514 allows kb/mouse on PS3.
B) Macros like that represent pretty sizeable dps losses (cus its not actually 3 seconds between gcds).

Yeah I thought they said they were gonna add this function actually. I was wondering why it wasn't in the game yet.

[AugustAPC]

That's hardly a good criteria for what should and shouldn't be added, seeing as PC users already have access to an interface that PS3 users do not.

Hmmm I'm happy with having a crossbar set for combat only(unsheated weapon) and sheated weapon set. Atm have 2 in the combat set and I can easily rotate between them without much of a problem of overshooting them. Though I could see a third one being good as well. Though the GUI would then be rather clutered.
