I don't know about you guys, but I really don't like the current location of the stamina bar. I think it would be far better above the AP indicator. That way both indicators are together, and the stamina one will be centrally located in a more obvious position
Also, I think the EXP bar should be moved back to the bottom - It really doesn't belong paired with the health bar, as one is used in combat and the other when turning in quests. Maybe the stamina bar could be put where the current EXP bar is, and the EXP bar could go where it is on PC (across bottom of screen in little purple line)
Wow, you know where the stamina bar is? I took a break because I couldn't find it and I was getting owned enemy npcs. How they do something about that!

Personally I like having the xp bar underneath the health bar. I rarely look at the bottom of my screen when playing PC I just get a level whenever it happens. The current XB1 location is personally more useful.
My stamina bar seems to be attached to my character's dodge/roll ability. (trickster rogue)
That being said, I have an "ability" that looks like a foot over on the right, but I have NO idea what it's for or what it does, or how to 'use' it.
Anybody else playing this class that could tell me?
Edit: Ah, it was showing the controls for the right joystick (auto-run)
The UI at the bottom of the screen needs work in general.
- Why does it need to be aligned like the XBOX buttons. I know what I mapped my powers, potions to after like 2 minutes of play. I don't need the entire section of the screen down there littered with buttons floating in space. Just looks rushed.
- Special ability indicator arc located in the middle of the screen AND at the bottom RB location. Get rid of the arc next to the character, I really never look at it.
- Chat....been mentioned elsewhere. It's too tedious to use. Try using emotes in a dungeon sometime....yea, bet most didn't even know they existed. And just to much involved to get to chat or that area. Even with the Microsoft Xbox One SmartGlass app, where you can type easier...still involves controller actions to invoke chat.
The alignment towards the Xbox buttons is a nice thing IMO, favorable over a PC-like line.
But overall some fine-tuning will be needed, to improve the maximum visible space. Simple things like turning not used slots invisible instead of black.
