Stupid update. Unneccesary in towns especially.

RTSFirebat · Oct 27, 2007, 05:42 PM // 17:42

Hate it, hate it, hate it!

So damn annoying. If its not broke, don't fix it! They need to get rid of this daft GUI update or make it a toggle!

Hammer Drawn · Oct 27, 2007, 05:52 PM // 17:52

In towns - Totally unnecessary
Outside of town - Toggle on/off

Personally, I think it was an extremely stupid thing to incorporate in towns, out of towns it isnt so bad tho. Helps prevent noobs from calling thier target that is halfway across the radar

We need a toggle option.

All UI changes nowadays are pointless.

The skills were best on their own, attributes were best in the Hero window, and the Prophecies interface looked medieval whilst now we have some stupid abstract thing.

kradens · Oct 27, 2007, 07:03 PM // 19:03

wow. id hate to be the guy who programmed that.

i think if any lesson has been learnt from this is --> put in a toggle feature before u go changing something that affects us directly/visually.

Kahlindra · Oct 27, 2007, 07:13 PM // 19:13

Never hated another 'cosmetic' change as much as this, would cheer and jump if it were to be removed or toggled.

Doesn't' bother me in the least, I think it's quite nice actually.

XiaoTheBlade · Oct 27, 2007, 08:55 PM // 20:55

Reminds me of why I stopped playing counter strike. They made a really bad update on the friends system, and made it mandatory. It made everyone lag, and there was nothing wrong with the old one.

This is no different, there was nothing wrong with the old one, but the new doesn't rlly bother me.

Kusandaa · Oct 27, 2007, 08:57 PM // 20:57

Doesn't bother me too much, except in LA and Kamadan. It's HORRIBLE - the background is already dark, and the dimmed names are REALLY hard to see.

A toggle on this would be much appreciated.

lyra_song · Oct 27, 2007, 10:32 PM // 22:32

Doesnt bother me. Dont even really notice it.

and again...OPTIONAL for crying out loud.

Gailes answer : (blah blah blah)..."nor do I see us investing considerable time to develop a whole new design which may be met with as many subjective concerns as was this one."

so they spent considerable time doing this as well huh. GOOD ideas get shafted because they lack the time and are "busy with GW2", BAD half baked in-house ideas are implemented because...junior programmer had 5 min spare at lunch last week?

seriously. GRAY = Confuse with other party member drops. (play your own game sometime?)

I gave it a chance before posting here, but after a day of quite intensive play, I've only come to resent it more.

There's something to be said for more dim monster names if they're at a further distance. In busy areas, I can now more easily tell which names belong to the nearby group and which belong to the group at the horizon. I'm assuming that was the point of this change.

However...

The dim names are very annoying in town, and pointless too. I couldn't care less how far away things are when I'm in an outpost. Nothing is going to sneak up on me and kick my ass. The only thing accomplished is me going squinty-eyed looking for the Xunlai chest or the merchant.

And don't get me started about the loot. It turns into all kinds of odd tints with increasing distance, I'm having a hard time figuring out what it all means. Not helpful at all, rather the opposite.

Its terrible, its hard to distinguish living allies from dead ones at semi-long ranges.

Lt.Crumpet · Oct 28, 2007, 12:38 AM // 00:38

toggle plox. allies look dead at long range, very distracting.

kvndoom · Oct 28, 2007, 01:11 AM // 01:11

it sucks.101112

wetsparks · Oct 28, 2007, 04:48 AM // 04:48

It is kind of annoying in towns, but I like it outside of towns because so many times when you want to looks ahead at group configurations on the next mob it is hard to distinguish, "ok, this guy is in this group, this guy is in that group" when one group is close and your line of sight has another group across the map in front of you.

kazjun · Oct 28, 2007, 11:15 PM // 23:15

Useless change. Put it on toggle and go fix something important.
