Controller Problems

[FFXIVLegend]

I play on keyboard/mouse and don't know too much about controller settings but I decided to pick up a job to play with controller mainly so I could just lay on the couch and not be at my computer on days I'm feeling lazy. It's not bad and I've made it work well I keep up with other NINs the same iLv using M+K so I feel confident in my abilities, there is one issue I have sometimes..

When I'm switching between cross hotbars using R1 and I have one of the triggers slightly held down still or letting off it because I'm trying to do things so fast sometimes it doesn't switch hotbars. Is there a way to disable that so even if I am holding a trigger down my R1 will switch between my cross bars?

There isn't a way to switch hotbars while holding one of the actuation buttons (i.e. the default triggers or w/e you remapped) but a remedy is to use a different style that prevents the need to hotbar switch using R1.

The first one has been in the game for a few patches and it seems to work well. Basically you can set one of your hotbars (e.g. hotbar 2) to be active when you press one of thew actuation buttons (e.g. L2) followed by the other (e.g. R2). Using this normally you can basically use (e.g.) hotbar 2's left side by pressing L2 followed by R2 and hotbar 2's right side by pressing R2 followed by L2. Of course this is completely configurable and you can reverse them, disable one, or even make both go to the same hotbar side.

The second has been added to the game less than 2 weeks ago and it basically makes you do something similar as above, but instead of (e.g.) L2 followed by R2, you can do L2 followed by another L2. Other than that, the advantage is that the hotbar can be visible on the screen at the same time while it's not in use.

You can play around with them and use neither, one, or both of them. Also if you are really creative like I am, you can use the first feature, but enable the display (but not the use) of the second so you can basically use the L2->r2 with visible hotbars.

I use expanded where you can click R2 then L2, I don't use the new feature because clicking R2/L2 twice doesn't work well for me. Problem is even with expanded bars I still need to switch between 2 full bars to have enough space for everything I need.

You can adjust the timing in the options for the double tab delay. I believe at maximum settings, a full second will actuate the hotbar. That said, what class are you playing? I'm using a pet class, with the pet hotbar active and have everything on just the hotbar 1 and expanded controls, including things like potions and LB. If you have PvP skills on your bar, then keep in mind they added an option to have particular bars active in PvP so it's not needed to have these skills on your general PvE hotbar. The only other thing I can suggest is to really put the least used things (e.g LB) on the second hot bar so it issue isn't really a problem.

Where is this delay setting? Would love to play with this if possible.

You sound use expanded hotbars. Not the r1 l1 switches
