Love the video but might want to take it down or block out your names =P they still got a ban up for video, screen shots are ok for public :D .

I was running instnaces last night and about 90% of all the instnaces are 4 man max , the raids are for higher end from what iam told via old linkshell 8 man partys then joining up muti 8 man groups to make a huge army to take down world bosses and such.

I didnt notice that when you pull mobs with more members you get more links I think that would of killed anyone first trying it out and pulling a treant heh.

cant wait for open beta coming up

btw Mirai whats your PC build I noticed you were running 5 clients with such ease, Did you have them all on lower res ingame and lowest setings?

Thanks again for your work with makin ISboxer better :D

By the look of the Macro System, Will FFXIV have the ability to have a Auto Wizard Set up available at launch like what WoW's Auto Wizard Set is?

Most games have a macro system, but only certain ones actually provide a method that ISBoxer can use to create and key bind macros similar to WoW's Addon system. So far I have no indication that this is possible for FFXIV.

I asked this on Mi's video but are Macros Client or Server based with where they are stored. I asked cause if a base file could be made and we could fill out the names for who needs it and such it could make make the whole macro thing easier and work over like rift a bit wouldn't it?

This has already been answered in this thread, but I'll try again...

Whether macros are stored on the client or server is only part of the issue. The real issue, as MiRai and Lax already pointed out above, is the need to be able to create (or modify) macros and key bindings outside the game. ISBoxer does this for WoW using it's addon system. ISBoxer does this for games by Cryptic using a file called binds.txt. This cannot be done for RIFT because the RIFT addon API does not currently support the keybinding of macros. There is not currently any indication that this can be done for FFXIV.

As far as macros Its not really all that hard to set up a macro list in notepade and copypaste, But as far as auto filling out macros basic ones might be able to but ffxiv classes are hybrids would still have to do custom macros for each build/class

Re: FFXIV Phase 3 "Part5"July 10, 2013 , Wed 2am/Monday 2am PST

Anyone else having problems broadcasting modifiers to other windows? For example Shift + F12 to /target "name" /follow doesn't work. But if i go into that window it works. If i bind to 1,2,3, etc it broadcasts to other windows just fine.
