New UI: A Mockup

[Onidemon]

There we go, getting better, i think its all a bit too big, the window should be smaller.

The graphic ui design is also extremely fugly, but thats just what the se dev has done not you.

The layout is ok, i dont see point in HQ/NQ options, just display all with the giant display box, there are not many items as it is. I also do not see point in having both Slot and Type, when Type will just display Slot anyway, no? Picking Type Head and also Slot Head? May as well just have Type be much easier.

The bazaar message thing while it could be a good idea idk, be pointless drawn data imo and most be empty or old or generic or rmt and there will be very few that are legit and even then its like what is its purpose? So you can ask them to do Woodworking synths? I garauntee you know someone already or there is someone in your LS who does it for free.

Also no border around gear display, or a more padded one.

Also the window for the sells is very narrow, it wouldnt really fit things, long item names "Cream-yellow Velveteen Dye" is not going to fit, even some long player names "powowowow powowowow" lol

A much simplier approach wold be to have a narrow search window then use the same display window as yo uget when you /check to show the gear

[ Search ]
[ Class/Job ] [ Type ] [ Order ]
[ Result Window ]

Maybe a [ Bazaar Message ] below if needed.

Hovering an item or highlighting one just like /check window displays the items details.

You'd also need to tab the main window for a buy / sell, but instead of showing a gear display like the buy sells you'd show your own inventory where you can select an item and set a price, have the system display the top 5 lowest prices within that same window so the user doesnt need to first find it, and hit sell.

Is that better then?

IMO: If you're going to make it simple like this, move the item display / details to the right of the search options and have the "results" section be displayed across the entire width of the UI under both the search criteria and the item display area.

There is too much empty space, it looks derp.

SEARCH - - - - - - - - ITEM HERE

This is all that is needed..... GOOD JOB. Simple, easy, accessible, not cluttered. All that other stuff on the original was garbage not sure how people actually liked it. I would probably quit the game if PS3 users got something like this and PC users got that abomination from the OP. R4G3.

You don't seem like a very grateful person... nope, not at all...

Anyway, great designs here! I've not been having too much trouble with the Bazaar myself, but condensing the search sure would make things a lot faster and easier to navigate. I wonder if SE would actually take this on board, though.

That looks good - don't see anything wrong with that other than the columns could do with some resizing. Maybe the whole thing could be a bit narrower, but that's all.

Yeah def on the right track as far as a simple UI would go. If I have time today at work I might be able to mock something up. I actually do UI design as part of my job and have some fancy software with some nice tools.

That's nice! Would love to see one of your mockups for the markets and if you are comfortable enough with that, how about using a different design then what SE uses in-game? I find FFXIV's UI to be the ugliest there is out there....
