    imho I think most are messing the real problem with chat box design. I think world channel fails, makes my ear's bleed and my eye's water. Just because there slow on item mall customers, doesn't mean they need to increase their spammers on the world channel, system channel ect... to annoy the **** out of us until we break and buy something from there item mall. >_< I'm seriously offend by the shear ignorance that is typed and broad-casted without an option to turn it completely off.

    Aeria Games is the same way! >_< don't expect them to fix anything that hinders there advertisement including txt size.

    Please put an option to shut off the Chat Tags-it's extremely annoying and the ONLY real use I could see for them is for the color blind but even then by this point you should know which channels to speak in and what "color" is tied to each.

    And also, scale the font down or again put an option for it. I wear glasses but I read everything just fine before the update-now it inadvertently feels like you're poking at my disability by increasing the size to eye sore proportions.

    Ironically enough I can see the text better from the old patch without my glasses on than the new conglomerated mess it is now...

    Several hundred posts back, a color-blind player actually said they liked the old UI better.

    Chat window without the tags: http://i9.aijaa.com/b/00989/6620810.png It's even worse than with tags imo.

    This happens to me when I play in windowed, open another game and then alt tab back to PWI. If I cycle between chats the text will be normal.

    Eww that is bad ><

    The old UI was fine and no one complained about it. There is no complaint thread, I asked. It just defies logic to change it. Even the color-blind have spoken up and said they had no trouble with the old one xD

    Well yes, obviously if they removed the tags they would have to change the color system back to how it was as well. Changing the players' names to the weird neutrally beige only works with the hideous tags preceding them. Thus, if they (we can only hope) ever decide to give us a turn off option it would have to change the names to the color of the appropriate chat, as it had previously been, or it would be a useless option to have.

    But since it has already been stated that they will not be removed, and I am sure if they give us the option to turn them off they will not think so far ahead as to change the names back to the right color, I have sort of given up on chat tags. At this point I am desperately clinging to the hope that they will fix the large print issues (still can't open my mailbox or search in the AH without a headache) and the non-working genie bars among other things.

    Chat tags are stupid: Color coding system is clean and efficient.

    HURR DURR THIS ONE IS WORLD CHAT!!!!1111 is unnecessary and in general bad UI design.

    Item linking should've been in game since day 1, nice that the method for linking them is the same as WoW, makes my life easier.

    Simply put: ilnking= awesome, finally chat tags= did you think I was stupid?

    OBJECTION! There's no such thing as complaining on Shin Megami Tensei. You log on their forums and they're sh*tting rainbows and butterflies. Comparing apples to watermelons!


    Also, had the same problem with my genie....can't see stamina, so guess who's squandering for Attendance sheets to get Perfect Stones to GET stamina? (*cough cough*)

    It's a big deal because no one was complaining about it, and there's a list of things that are truly broken that have needed fixing for some time now.

    Yupyup.

    Some bugs that have been there for ages or things that are ''under construction'' since the beginning of the game haven't been fixed/implemented.

    But still, they keep putting in new stuff with bugs instead of fixing the old bugs and then implementing new stuff with new bugs that they should fix after that. b:surrender

    Confused yet?... b:chuckle

    Text bleeding bugs have been resolved, genie stamina bar and mailbox text are being fixed very soon; chat tags are working as intended and here to stay, at least for now.



    I'm going to un-stick this thread; please continue to post any new UI bugs here, and thank you for the bug reports and discussion :)

    I'm looking at the guild roster right now; the only problem I see is that the "Change Slogan" text is spilling slightly off of its menu button. All of the character names/data seem to fit fine; what other issues with the guild roster do you see?

    It says "Commission" instead of "Commissioner".

    That's because when things don't get fixed in the time people want it to saying nothing and ignoring it works.

    Basic business tactic really.

    Of course in a real business you get things settled via legal ways.
    You can't with PWI.. (read ToS etc)

    But lets not get into that lolz
