A Realm Reborn Items Menu

[Tiago]

Hello guys!
I was wondering if i was the only one thinking how stupid the 2.0 item menu looks and how it looks exactly like most of other mmo's? Like Aion and WoW and Runes of Magic..... Why not continue with an item list like XI had? it was great so we could see all the items in just a menu, and also just order the items on the list... instead of maybe ordering the items and checking all the tabs to see where the ICON is or just keep selecting all items to check their names.... In my opinion, this new items menu is silly and it wont be any better of what we currently have but actually prob worst. I hate the new item menu looks and i think XIV is copying way too much from other mmo's instead of innovating stuff and putting diferent ways of menus and all that than all other mmo's. All i heard ppl from WoW saying about games that has something like WoW is "Oh look... another WoW copy, they are so good that they cant make their own stuff and actually have to copy". I was mostly looking for 2.0 to bring new good looking stuff instead of copy of other mmo's that i already played. "We want to make it easy for players that come from other mmo's to have the an easy time getting into the game", so with that they started copying their menu looks and some features because it will happen to make the other ppl's 'getting into the game experience' easyer? Seriously, in all this long, i though XIV was gonna look really good and with alot of new stuff, but aperently they just changed stuff to copy's of other mmo's.

I know its too late to change alot of the actualy menus, but the Items menu its what makes me rly sad about 2.0 that we know so far.

It's a pre-alpha build, it may not look the same after launch. Also, it's better than what we currently have imo.

No it's not, alpha maybe but certainly not pre-alpha. Remember how version 1.0's beta went and everyone said it was going to change by release and it turned out nothing did? What you see is most likely what you'll be getting.

Yes, yes it is.

Alpha has not begun yet, so it is pre-alpha.

Simple concept is simple.

No it's not that simple. Public alpha hasn't started. This has nothing to do with the title development cycle. The game could be at alpha stage for 3 months without you knowing it.

Stop calling it pre-alpha. Either you are in the dev team and knows exactly where ARR is on its development cycle, either you don't know anything and are only assuming things.

Believing that a software alpha stage only starts when it goes public is stupid. It could (and most likely would) start way before that. SE won't ship an alpha client to us without making internal tests first.

"Congrats guy, we reached a new milestone, ARR is now Alpha"
"Quick let's release it now!"

I'm not a fan of wikipedia, but at least since you seems completely clueless, this could help you : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softwar...fe_cycle#Alpha

I kinda agree too the UI on the new on looked kinda subpar... I was looking forward to the 2.0 but when i looked at the video carefully and saw the UI i could clearly feel my enthusiasm die down i tried to ignore it tho...

those words ... since 2010... trauma >.>

XI is not other mmo's that try to be like WoW or try harder to not be like WoW and still end up doing a terrible job.
