any interface mods? - Guild Wars Forums

sabutai · Apr 11, 2007, 03:48 PM // 15:48

i find the interface in this game to be rather clumsy, especially for a monk in regards to healing

is there anything that cleans this clunky monster up a bit?

Jimmy Evol · Apr 11, 2007, 04:20 PM // 16:20

I would also like to know this, would be nice to see a few other interfaces.

moriz · Apr 11, 2007, 04:29 PM // 16:29

you can fully modify the interface from the options menu.

tijo · Apr 11, 2007, 05:07 PM // 17:07

Press F11, and choose the interface tab while you are logged on a character. You can move and resize everything from there. The control tabs will take care of any keyboard shortcut issues you might find need fixing.

lol yeah i got that 5 minutes into the game, not what i meant

i meant more group friendly interfaces i'm used to the community making from daoc and WoW

not just moving the various company issued windows/bars

Lydz · Apr 11, 2007, 05:34 PM // 17:34

I find the interface to be one of the best there is out there. In answer to your question though, I don't think those are allowed. It would be easy for people to steal your account using these mods wouldn't it?

HawkofStorms · Apr 11, 2007, 05:36 PM // 17:36

There are no interface mods for GW *period*
You can customize a lot though from that option menu. Not only can you move stuff around, you can increase or decrease the size of different features or remove them altogether.

And really, the interface isn't that clumsy, especially with all the new timers they just added for hex/enchant/and preperation durations.

sabutai · Apr 11, 2007, 06:37 PM // 18:37

hmm i am used to more streamlined interfaces for hardcore pvp, how anybody uses this one is beyond me, but i just started gw, so i suppose i will have to get used to it

way too much uneeded space used on several of the windows, and i dont think i can independently resize various windows? can i?

and no, i have used UI mods in EVERY mmorpg i have ever played, nobody has hacked my account

as my girlfriend keeps reminding me "we just spent over 100 dollars on this game, so you better like it"

how you people deal with this primitive stuff is beyond me

Lydz · Apr 11, 2007, 07:01 PM // 19:01

If you don't like it...don't play it.

You haven't played PvP so you wouldn't know what it is like as you say so yourself. To independently change the interface goto Menu -> Options -> Interface and go wild.

Just because no one hacked your account doesn't mean it can't happen btw.

Well, you know what you can do then don't you? Yes, it does involve a short pier and a long walk.

EiS · Apr 11, 2007, 07:16 PM // 19:16

everything you see on the screen you can change its size or position and even somethings you can't see untill your fighting or casting spells you can change is size or position the HUD is completely customizable

Jimmy Evol · Apr 11, 2007, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Lol, you cannot be hacked by an interface mod if you know what your doing. If your not very smart and get sent a keylogger on the other hand... ya your gonna get hacked.

I don't find the interface bad at all, although it has alot of space taken up that doesnt need to be. Would basicly like a slimmer version of it without all the fancyness.

EDIT: Never noticed you could change the window sizes of each window, this should help alot...

sabutai · Apr 11, 2007, 07:29 PM // 19:29

spare me the if you dont like it quit stuff, k

if this is your first mmorpg god bless, but dont attack those who are used to better and asking simple questions regarding the use of mods that every experienced mmorpg player uses to augment the interface

i bought the game, i have the right to complain if i find the interface lacking, i didnt say the game sucked, or that the people who play it sucked

if it doesnt suppurt mods then say so or dont, but dont bore me with your smarmy responses, i understood the complexity of the moving the interface windows via the options from the first 5 minutes i booted the game up

as i said before you posted your witty comments

Doofledust · Apr 11, 2007, 07:41 PM // 19:41

There are no official mods. The use of an unofficial mod will be against the rules of conduct as posted on the main site http://guildwars.com/support/legal/rulesofconduct.php

sabutai · Apr 11, 2007, 07:59 PM // 19:59

thank you sir

Coloneh · Apr 11, 2007, 09:50 PM // 21:50

you were already told that a few times. the interface is very streamlined. what exactly is your problem?

exactly what type of interface mods are you looking for? since everything that's part of the interface can be moved, resized, changed to whatever you want through the interface menu, not really sure what else you want to do.

Alex the Great · Apr 11, 2007, 11:03 PM // 23:03

dude your new so i know u dont know this but....

if u talk about WoW in a positive light u must go /flameshield and then run

have a nice life

Kuldebar Valiturus · Apr 11, 2007, 11:07 PM // 23:07

Guild Wars uses a very refined streaming process. Hundreds of thousands of Mods requesting server side information would have a huge and negative impact.

Additionally, mods have to be "regulated" and policed, something ANet can't afford to do.

And, lastly, after playing WoW for 2 years, I was a heavy mod user: I had mods that would target the enemy with the lowest health that was casting, I had mods that would apply the most efficient heal when I clicked the health bar of the target. The point is some mods made gameplay way too easy and made for an uneven playing field.

Keeping your mods up to date was a game in and of itself and a royal pain. Running 120+ mods that you had to change or update each major patch kinda sucked, but once you started using mods, you are hooked.

ANet's game philosophy is simple:

Play the game and have confidence that every one else is playing the same game along with you.

GUH. I haven't played WoW before, but if that's the kinda mods people use, I find it surprising tht so many people do.

The point of Guild Wars is that it is the skill of the player that matters. Not how many and how up-to-date your mods are. I like it this way.

As many people have already said: F11 -> Interface will allow you to fully customise your interface to the maximum of Guild Wars' abilities.
