As a controller player, it's often difficult to target party members quickly while maintaining a solid rotation in high end content. This is especially the case when trying to target a specific player from the center of the party list, as opposed to just the topmost or bottommost two. Using the UP and DOWN directional buttons for this is a pain.
Instead, can we have the option of changing the L1 button to help with player targeting by combining it with the directional buttons. (I'll use the PS5 controller throughout the suggestion.)
Holding L1 and tapping a directional button would soft target a specific party member, whereas double tapping would select a different party member. Which party member you specifically target would relate to their order in the party list but could be configurable (eg. to map neatly with assigned clock positions).
Direction = Single tap / double tap
Up = tank 1 / dps 1
Down = tank 2 / dps 2
Left = healer 1 / dps 3
Right = healer 2 / dps 4
In cases where the player is configured to always be at the top of their party list, they would always be tank 1, healer 1 or dps 1. Whether a single tap = supports or dps could be configurable for each players' preference.
L1 currently defaults to 'auto-run' which is not terribly useful in high end content, making it a bit of dead space on the controller. Still, I like having the option to easy auto-run in the overworld, so perhaps we could have a configurable toggle for L1 to be auto-run outside of duties and party selection inside of duties.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. Have a great day!
