[dev1206] Update/expand the UI with pop-up menus, please.

Why is everyone against an action bar...

Then you say "pop up menu and macros are great"... wtf macro bar is the same as an action bar it just hides itself unless you hold the key and 2.0 will let you put macros on your action bar.

It just looks tacky having 3-5 rows of ability plastered on your window, as well as unnecessary clutter. This is the one thing that Tera did well when it comes to controller configurations, they actually give you a controller UI which isn't at all in the way.

Also: They stated they'll add pop-up menus to certain things along with the mouse-over menu additions, I think the one reason it wasn't added to begin with was because..surprise people complain about having to use menus at all.

I didn't get around to playing TERA so I can't comment on the UI.

As far as controllers go, I agree that controller (ps3 when it's out) and PC users could (should) have seperate UI's and I believe they are going to do this.

As for myself, I don't use a controller... I'm playing the game on PC and prefer the mouse and keyboard. I know a lot of people do use controllers though, and they prefer that method. For myself, action bar is much more convenient than a popup menu would be.

I can def see how a popup menu would be more useful for someone on a controller... but don't try to have them eliminate the action bar, just suggest they work on another UI for controller users.


note: still groggy from waking up.. hope this is understandable
