Flasks and controler..

Just one suggestion to make different flasks more useful on console.
Push l1 or r1 a little bit longer to use the first 3 flasks from r or l.
Push both a little bit longer will use all 5 flasks.

I will love this option and I know from chats... Other too.

Can not be so strange to implant.

One thing you can do is change your buttons under Accessibility Setting Options and swap directional left/right to r2 l2. I then generally run with two life flasks on 1 and 3 slots.
Can be a bit of a pain if you swap games a lot.

Eh..thx..i know ^^"....
I think you dont understand my suggestion and the reason.
I will can use 5 different flasks easy without breaking my fingers.
Like a PC Gamer.
the most palyers only use max 3 different flask types.

Example : (2x health left for l1, 2x mana right l2 , one buff flask on the digi pad up)

It will be a revolution to use 5 different Flasks to the same time with only press l1 and r1 vor a moment together. =)

Sry fpr my bad englisch...

I want to be able to set one button to use multiple flasks at once.

Setting a macro for flasks to be used with one button can result in a ban on PC.

I wish we could re-map flask buttons to the right analog stick, and the item selections to the d-pad. I hate that I have to stop moving to use 3 of my 5 flasks. PC players don't have this disadvantage, and can move and use flasks with out stopping or holding the controller in an awkward way.

What they need to do is allow console players to assign other flasks to buttons. such as clicking the left bumper flask will trigger the use of other flasks. they literally allow macro flasks on pc, as people post blatent videos with them using auto flask, yet GGG doesn't ban them. why punish people on console?

Guys, no offence but u have lots of opportunities to find a solution for all of this.

U can use macros whatever you want...

Google is your friend, use it.

Btw i playing with an elite controller, that 4 extra button is so helpful as well to manage your flasks.


Merry Xmas.

ALL flasks are assigned to different buttons, and you can remap those buttons via the accessibility settings on PS4 - so I don't understand you, unless you're that determined to want a macroing system here which GGG will *not* do.

Macroing flasks is a bannable offense. Lots of people have been banned for it. The problem is, with a game as widely played and streamed as PoE, with a developer like GGG that likely only has a small team to enforce the rules, cases will slip through the net.

You can't expect GGG to watch every stream ever, so they rely heavily on reports. Trouble is reports come in thick and fast, and decisions have to be made over which ones to prioritize otherwise they'd still be stuck backlogged, dealing with reports from years ago.

Dealing with a spam toucan is quick and easy, because GGG can quickly verify the report and take action. When it's something that requires watching a stream to verify, unless the reports precisely indicate the stream's URL, and the timestamp of the offense, they would have to watch all or most of what could be hours of footage - when they could have responded to hundreds of reports in that time that are easier to verify.

Their inability to fully police the rules is a problem; but the solution is *not* to throw in the towel and make currently illegal things legal. At most they may turn a blind eye, but they would never formally support a thing like macroing.

Adding this to console PoE would be formally supporting it. You don't just happen to add in a feature like that unless you *intend* it to be used. GGG don't *intend* players macro on PC, they just lack the full capacity to prevent it completely.

That does *not* mean console players are being "punished" just because our limited hardware happens to lack the ability to use third-party cheat tools.
