A secret quality of life improvement that would be a really big deal would be to just have hotbar presets or filters as an option. Let the player put abilities where they want as the default, but include a few sensible hotbar layouts that you can set with a button press. You could even create a few for low level ranges, since a good spot for a button at level 10 may not necessarily be the same as it will be at level 90. Probably have layouts like that just not show abilities you haven't learned yet, and they'll just snap to their spot when you do learn them.

They finally added something where when you get a jobstone for the first time it asks if you want to import your class hotbar instead of just dumping poo poo everywhere

Cleretic posted:There was a significant amount of time where Arm's Length and Surecast didn't mention the knockback protection. The only times this was true was when the abilities didn't have knockback protection, which was even only relevant for Surecast. When Arm's Length was introduced in Stormblood, it resisted draw in and knockback (as indicated by the tooltip.) Surecast just prevented cast interruption until then.

I remember there being a callout on Arm's Length in some of the (awful) tutorial content, and my brain remember this positioning Arm's Length as exclusively knockback/draw in prevention. And for 90 levels I didn't think about it again because why would I read the tooltip I was told what this does at like level 15 or something lol. It's me. I was the bad tank. I saw the icon for it in Jocat's crap guide video for tanks, and went and looked at the tooltip.

It doesn't help that in many other games "Slow" as a status effect refers to movement speed rather than attack speed, so a lot of people who do read the tooltip still don't know that it's useful as mitigation.

Super Foul Egg posted:This is something I wanted to express when reading through pages of what are clearly MMO people being all 'just know how to do all the things GOD', because as a non-MMO gamer I can't help but see a comically bad battle system that is decades out of date and fully incoherent on default settings, inside a game that doesn't have the time or inclination to teach itself to you. The whole game is just about immersing yourself in the culture of it until it starts to make a warped kind of sense in your mind. I have never done it as a horrible odorous lifer but doesn't the hall of the novice do this maybe it's poo poo advice idk

For alts, and for the cloud server test, I just copied my main character's folder so that hotbars would be set up the same. The Simple Tweaks plug-in makes it extra easy, because it can open the folder for the character you're logged in as.

aers posted:my first potd run i got to floor 196 and then i spent a few weeks damaging my wrists actually getting the run. was very infuriating lol The insane part is on the run I finally cleared, my PC started completely dying around 150. I had random shutoffs that ultimately turned out to be (I believe) the motherboard ending up completely fried, and I just through sheer luck didn't have any of those while in instance... I think I got one shutoff about 2 minutes after finishing 180 and exiting. I'm still kind of traumatized by how close that came.

If anything I'm too aware of it and I keep trying to mentally plan out how to best Inner Release so I can take advantage of it despite the fact it's almost never actually worth doing that over hitting the button on cooldown "But it will look so COOL" also impacts trying to time RDM so I dodge attacks on backflip.

I hit my crit attacks from the ability and there's no reason to remember there's a usually-pointless 15s buff still ticking away. Nor is there any obvious part of the rotation to associate it with, like there is with most dps's "okay I'm squeezing all these abilities into the duration of that buff" 2-minutes.

i agree button creep is bad. Were i hired to redesign sage, i'd expand Eukrasia to toggle 4-5 abilities instead of just three. Like collapsing Haima/Panhaima. Matter of fact, now that i'm thinking of that, gently caress it, rework the whole job. Eukrasia now toggles any spell or ability between its single target and AOE variant. Boom. SGE is now fun.

I actually set up a macro that changes every job that has AoE/Single Target abilities to just swap between a single target or AoE version. So like for Reaper I don't have the AoE or single target only spells on my bar, I just have a macro that swaps to AoE when I need it and single target when I need it.

Most Roulette groups I've run Stone Vigil with single pull the last sets of mobs. Of those that have tried to have managed to Wall To Wall them, about half manage it. I always use my AOEs for trash. Not long after I unlocked Dancer, when I was still marked as a Sprout, I was in a Roulette (I forget which dungeon it was), and I was only using my ST Skills. One of the other players asked why I wasn't using AOE, and I said that I figured I did more damage that way, because they have higher potency. They nicely explained the way it works, and I've used AOE for trash ever since. As for Button Bloat, they need to combine combos into a single button. They have the tech. They use it when you're playing as an NPC in a solo duty.

I have a Logitech G510s keyboard, so I put ST skills on Bar 1, and then copy it to Bar 4, where I replace the ST stuff with the AOE versions. I set CTRL+1 and CTRL+4 to swap between them, then set up 2 of my G Keys to input those commands. Since they're right by where my left hand is when I'm in combat, it's a simple button press to swap.

I like them if they are interesting or thematic, I dislike them if they're just "hit the damage button up here" and it doesn't even have a cool visual effect or anything. More Inner Releases, fewer No Mercies.
