Or you could both RTFM... The touchpad works as the select button if you press down on it. Press it in twice and the cursor will zip first to the chat log then over to the level sync button.

Next?

I can hit level sync just fine using my controller on PC. I don't see what the problem is here.

Just have to hit on more button. Ive been grinding the bejeezus out of fates while queued in DF like everyone else.

And it also worked just fine when for the 8 months I played it on the PS3 select twice real fast and it goes to level sync.

Gettin all Preludesy on us Hio. Keep on 'Rollin tho

Hitting the 'select' button twice doesn't select the level sync option for you?? I use a 360 controller on pc and it does for me. "Select" cycles my chat box, quest log, mini map, buffs.

Once you have duty status selected, you cna use arrow Up/Down to select various parts of the duty list. Also very handy for doing quests that have ground placing item types.

Playing Devil's advocate here...

1). I've already had to add a 3rd twelve-button hotbar because I ran out of buttons. I can't see wanting to add a button just to Level Sync because the Level Sync button is difficult to reach with a controller.

2). How are you going to type while holding a controller? If you're on a console, you'd have to use the on-screen keyboard and I imagine that'd be even more annoying than "tabbing" through all the UI elements trying to get to the Level Sync button. You could have a keyboard hooking up to that console (though I know from experience, keyboards only partially work with the 360; a standard microsoft natural that I used kept re-initializing itself every 3-5min which would cause you to lose some input if you were using it while this happened). This is among the many reasons why I would probably never play an MMO with a controller.

What I'd rather see, is an option in the Options Menu you can set that pops up a Yes/No dialogue when you enter a FATE that asks you "Do you wish to Level Sync? Yes/No"

That way, it'd be just as simple as clicking "Yes" if you want to Level Sync.

*nods* I can imagine times where I wouldn't want the thing popping up, which is why I suggested it could be an option. When you're grinding out FATEs, you could turn it on. When you're done, you could turn it off so it won't bother you anymore. In fact, even though I use a PC and clicking the Level Sync button is trivial for me to do, I'd still enjoy this option because sometimes I plain forget to click the button and I charge into attack something and nothing happens and I'm "Oh, derp. I forgot to Level Sync!"

Then I level Sync, then my buffs wear off, and meanwhile, time's a tickin or people are killin mobs and I'm missing out on participation points while I'm fumbling over Level Sync.

A popup would be an easy reminder "HEY, LEVEL SYNC NOW!" and I probably wouldn't be forgetting to set Level Sync whenever stepping into a FATE.

Noticed this about the targeting, just wanted to add that "expanded hold controls" allow you to access another hotbar by pressing (LT + RT) or (RT + LT). Then you'll have 32 hotbar slots available without switching sets.

Never looked back after setting this up, no more switching palettes during battle.

This is most of the reason why I don't bother repairing my own gear, though I get a feeling that it gets more expensive later to have an NPC do it and that is going to suck. I know they can check to see if you have other classes leveled without being that class currently, and I know they have a way to award XP to a class that you don't have active currently, so why again do we need to change? Just to see the pretty animation of you pulling out your tool to do the work? Do we *really* need that at the cost of inconveniencing us to the point a system is not worth using because of the hassle involved?

1.0/1.23's repair system was so much better..especially being able to do it mid dungeon runs.

Nope, at that point you probably want to invest in the durability potions.

Hmm, yeah that would be pretty silly if it does wear on death, specially given how long they last (much like Sanction..not that it has any use for anyone that hits 50.) Though if it does then it probably explains the extremely short recast time compared to other potions.
