How did you set up your hotbars that way? I'd love to lay mine out so they match my game pad.

They're basically just 3 straight bars, with no skills on the "7" slot.



Then I went into options and set up hotkeys. You can assign a hotkey to any single slot:


I don't think the crossbar for gamepad is compatible with this, though. I don't play with gamepad because I'm too clumsy to use it, but when I tried, crossbar seemed more like an on/off thing than a "have 3 crossbars on your screen and bind buttons to single slots". Also I don't think a gamepad has enough buttons, so you'd have to use a bunch of shift keys? Seems like it'd be easier to just use the bar swapping that's built into the crossbar system.

Do they actually do anything or just send you a form letter? Because I don't think I've ever heard of anyone actually being punished for abusing vote kick, and I've definitely seen people use it to kick people for loot and the like.

It's unclear what punishments they mete out because it's just a form letter on the reporting end, but they do SOMETHING, and personally I'm happy even if they just threaten people and mark the account so if they get caught doing that poo poo again they are up for a temp suspension, but everyone believes because WoW GMs are worthless assholes that they won't do anything about this kind of thing in XIV which just isn't true.

It's why I like to encourage people to report for it, it's incredibly lovely, SE knows that it turns away players (one bad votekick experience can lead to a lost sub) and if it's reported more often it might happen less as it becomes a thing that people know they can get in trouble for.

When I setup the controller on PC, I offloaded a lot of non ability items to a vertical bar off to the side (sprint, return, tele, mounts, etc) which freed up 4 spots on my bar, I should be able to work in HW actions...I hope.

Black and White magic were more restricted because they literally killed the land around them to power their spells. Eorzea is super rich in Aether now, but in the 5th era, I think it was, there was even more aether and all the mages were using it for super spells.

The big problem for that specific robe model is the fact that it flares out really widely at the base. On races that have relatively slender frames or animations that keep their shoulders/legs in, it's not as bad, but it makes Highlander ladies look like they're wearing hoop skirts or are constantly surrounded by an invisible donut-shaped force field.

Healer-wise, I was wearing the fairly standard Maelstrom DoM uniform for a while. I still like it, despite it being somewhat more common than other robes:



Recently, I've switched hairstyles (and outfits). I'm using the Allagan Tunic of Healing, since it looks cool and is also insanely easy to get, now. For this outfit, the gloves are the Arachne crafted ones, the pants are Forager's, and the boots are the Starlight Boots:



I don't have a good screenshot of it, but I was also just rocking the regular ol' Ironworks Robe of Healing for a while, and I thought it fit great.

I have a vertical bar on the side that has non-essential abilities like Teleport, Return, and lengthy cooldown abilities so I can see when they'll come up again since they're on my extra trigger bars. But I'm a Ninja, and I just don't think I'll be able to fit in 5 more skills without having to resort to swapping hotbars with RB, which is... not my favorite.

If they could implement combo buttons that'd fix all my problems, though.

Oh. Yeah, that'll work just fine. Since you have 4 rows of keys, you'll probably also want to go to character configuration -> hotbar settings -> sharing, and un-set hotbar 4 from shared, so it changes when you switch classes.

Well this is absolutely infuriating...

Just re-subbed, but I can't play because the game randomly crashes or goes to a black screen, then recovers after a few seconds.

I've tried rolling back drivers (currently running 347.25, no change), underclocking my card (it's water-cooled and never gets above 45 C so I don't think that's it), changing the TDR Delay in the registry. Nothing seems to work.

Any ideas?

SOLVED: I was an idiot and used a DWORD (32-bit) when I changed the TDR delay in the registry. For 64-bit OS, you have to use a QWORD. Works perfectly now.
