I'm tired of waiting. :(
Maybe you're just holding off until the new expansion comes out to release the new UI, which I suppose is fine (it would probably help with marketing), but if the new UI and addon support aren't here by the time Seekers of Alduin comes out, then I'll come back to these forums and make angry posts! That'll teach you! :mad:

I myself wonder where it is, we have not got a ton of info on it still, seems like a giant wild card on many levels. In either case, I would like to know just how long they think it will be till this is here, I am waiting eagerly~...

If you're tired of waiting for something that they announced this year then how you feel the ppl who play SMN feels? They announced over a year ago the 2 new avatars and right now, there's not even a screen shot showing them even in any development at all.

New 2-hours
Cait Sith
Dark Knight Fast Cast
Meeble Burrows
Adventuring Fellows
Limbus Entry time
These are things it shows that I don't think have happened or we have little to no info on... That list doesn't tell much, sorry.

Wouldn't surprise me if it ended up becoming a "feature" of the new expansion.

By the roadmap it should be in the next couple months, and the expansion is next year, so hope not... Then again that roadmap is pointless because there are like 5 things on it not done yet or on the test server yet (CAIT SITH!) so who knows.

Oh, it's definitely pointless. Promises aren't really promises and everything is subject to change and additional fees without notice.

I'm fine with waiting. Honestly? I'm expecting the UI to be a travesty on initial release. This is something they'll need to iterate on before it's acceptable, rather than a one-off update.

What is this new UI really suppose to do anyway? From what I understand it lets you move the chat box around and the icon's just like every quest........... um yay? >.> Other then that what exactly does it do? Someone please elaborate more?

They are also going to give players the ability to create add-ons to it, not to mention we don't know all it will change. In either case hopes are that it will incorporate some of Windower's features, or be made to allow them through add-ons as they did with making FFXI's official windowed mode.

Rather have it broken sooner so I can get it fixed sooner, if they put off giving us the broken one then its going to be even longer till we get a working good version.

Don't forget a third macro panel! One that I think they said would be clickable only, so no hot keys! Useful!
Clearly third macro panel > more macro lines

Who saw tanaka showing the new UI at vanafest? dissapointing, they just make icons in HD and allow you to move multiple windows around apparently (who cares?).
Make macro fire instantly and gear sets, and i will care.

They will never make macros go automatically, thats automation, which they don't want.Sorry, missread, having macros work instantly would be great. Gear sets I agree with though, and you never know, they could add more than they showed, otherwise yeah its just a disappointment like most other things.

I didn't like what they showed at Vanafest either. Honestly the only thing I care about is being able to make my own features for it. But I'm expecting that to be so limited that it will end up being another long hopeful wait for something that I never end up using.
