Petition to have the OPTION to change the "main menu" icons back.

[Taiver]

I totally agree with this.

These menu buttons have almost no effect on the game themselves, so why not have an option to change them back to the way they were?
It's now harder to see when Return is almost ready (before you could just mouseover, now it requires a button)

I don't know about you all, but I use all my hotbars, and even more now, because PVP requires more hotbars for different skills.

Bring back the old menu buttons!

I completely agree there should be an option to switch between views (a compact and expanded button view).

Just let us pick which buttons are displayed on the micro menu, and allow optional grouping. Problem solved.

This actually sounds fantastic.

SIGNED! This would be wonderful, I love the new menu because it is smaller but I would also like to have an option for the old one so I can use it when I feel like it.

[Ambypom]

We have about 10 people who signed. Any more?

I am honestly trying to get used to the new compact menu. But I still can not get used to it. I keep having derp moments where I just forget where everything is. I'll stare at my screen for awhile until I figure out where I need to click.

Hopefully... I am not the only one this happens to. <_<

I definitely agree. When I first logged in I was all like "oh, they made it less buttons by default. That's cool, I'll just go back in and add the ones I want." Then I realized it was those clunky dropdowns, so I started looking for settings to restore the old version. I totally get why they changed it, but there is no reason why they shouldn't let us change it back.

How are they supposed to include new features (such as Party Search and PvP Profile) with each major update using the old method? Keep adding icons for everything? I think people will grow accustom to this approach. You can use one two of horizontal hotbars to recreate something akin to the old menu (well it wouldn't be quite the same perhaps).

Which is why we need to be able to customize the menu bar and add the icons we really want to it. We don't need icons for everything, just a few chosen things to make our life easier. For example why in the world would I need a menu button to un-sheath my weapon? I'd rather get rid of that one and replace it with a teleport button.

If they can't return it to the way it was, they should at least tidy it up.

Character - Stance, Companions, PvP Profile and Achievements should not be in that list, they should be in the Character screen.

Duty - Recommendations should just... die in a fire. Key Items shouldn't be there as no one ever goes to the Key Item section. Timers is kind of nice, but again it's kind of useless.

Logs - They're fine, really.

Travel - I ended up adding the Teleport skill into my hotbar so I didn't have to go in here, so I guess it's fine... They could have added a hotkey for teleport, at least. Return could probably be removed and just kept as a skill, but I never use that so whatever...

Social (this one really bothers me) - Party Members, Player Search, Friend List and Blacklist should all be under 1 thing as they all open the same window, just in different tabs... Remove all but Friend List and this part is fine. Not really sure why Signs is under Social, though, but hey...

System - This button is unnecessary. Pressing ESC brings the exact same thing up. This wasn't for controllers as people with controllers can't use this menu as far as I can tell, and even if they could the start menu is much easier.


It's just extremely messy for no reason. Again, I'm not going to stop playing because of this silly little issue I have, but it's still something that could be greatly improved.
