[dev1135] UI Adjustments (09/12/2011)

Ugh, I'm so, so happy they fixed the damn issues with targeting! Seriously cannot wait for this patch to go live.

The targeting was a pain in the arse to get used to and (I know this personally) has driven off a few new players because of the difficulty to target things!

+1~!

Please add:
1- What exactly will suffer/benefit when equipping items based on the optimal level (for instance, which is better equipping item 5 level above you or below you?)
2- Make the item name color reflected in the chat log (when dropped or collected)
3- Manual item sort
4- Your Character name on top of party list
5- Permanent display of macro bar on top of action bar or display of the second line of action bar on top of first one. or even add a keyboard short cut to use ability in the second bar (e.g. press shift + 2 grant u access to action bar 2, shift + 3 grant u access to action bar 3 and so forth for macros)
6- What is exactly the affect of having HQ items? no more stars and "hidden effect"
7- More Chat filters and more log font colors

This made me grow sacks of about 3 inches. I can't wait!

Hi ppl. I noticed no one else has commented on this so I thought Id risk looking foolish, (wouldn't be the first or last time either), and ask if they are really making gear that is 6+ lvs below character lv red?
6+ levels above will be gray?
Did I misunderstand something? Because to me that sounds backwards. If they intend to make it more like other MMOs have setup their color code, colors should be the other way around, shouldest they?
6+ lvs below: gray.
6+ lvs above: red.

I know SE have no obligations to make this the same way as other games, but it would be nice if thees things where uniform across all games of this type.

I just checked the Japanese notes and it seems say red is for when your current class is 6 levels below and grey is for 6 levels above. Maybe Reinheart can double check.

EDIT: It seems that the Japanese page was corrected, so it looks like 6+lvs below: gray and 6+ lvs above: red.

only a few i loved out of the post.

Japan should be feeling the tidal effects of my orgasm within a few hours.

Oh good.
Hopefully this will make things easier for people who use they keyboards.


Though I'm almost certain someone will have something negative to say about this.

I'm frustrated that they STILL have fixed keys. I hate 0-9 with a bloody passion and really wish they'd ditch them.

What an odd choice for the DoW/DoM icon... A sword? Really? They couldn't make a sword and staff crossing each other? (similar to the double sword GLA guild crest). Something that signifies that mages are actually a part of this game? You know, like how they said "Disciples of War & Magic". Come on guys.

Aside from that, these changes look great and I can't wait to fiddle with my UI settings! ^_^

Loving the color for the rarity, now to wait someone to whine that its so WoW-ish.

inb4StopmakingthisgameWoW (while negating the fact that tons of games use them and that WoW didn't create item rarity colors).

Personally, I love the changes. However I can see the wave of complaints incoming.
