    The new UI sucks, and it is obvious that it was not texted. Change it back.

    I think the new UI system sucks. I personally hate it and it gives me a headache to look at it. Already I have my settings to just online offline messages and whispers and that is because you cant turn whispers off. It needs to be fixed b4 people cant play because it causes them to be sick.

    So played the whole day in the new style and here is my second opinion on it:
    First the chat window:
    I've done the chat window one size bigger than the default one and now it is better to read.
    The bigger

    Edit:
    AW where does my text go?????? O_O
    Okay new short form off my nice text:
    Status bar text: too big
    Chat window: takes getting used to but i can live it it just made the chat window one size bier and its good to read
    Quest book: VERY HARD TO READ!!! pls make new one or change it back
    I am from Germany and I am sorry if my English isn't very good b:surrender

    Ok let me just put it this way...Make it that this second UI is optional, so we can switch back and forth between the original UI and this "I am blind help me read pls UI".b:bye

    The linking system is something that this game has needed for a long time. I'm thrilled you put it in. On the other hand though the new chat and font system is absolutely horrid. The big tags in chat window stating whether its guild world private ect need to go. They are annoying and its kind of an insult to pwi players to assume we are so stupid as to not know the difference in color coding. The font is a bit too big too and could use some rescaling.

    Resize font size from everything .................. ASAP pls!

    Linking system just let you add one item, this can be updated for more items at same post.

    Chat definition box can be removed is useless making chats looks worse and stealing space, we dont really need it, we survived with chat colours and can survive without the box.

    Item linking is awesome! b:pleased

    The font size is better, but you could have edited the boxes to fit the new font size. Maybe a tad smaller. But I find it a lot easier to read. Especially when whispering someone that isn't on your friends list. That blue is terrible on the eyes.

    The tags are redundant, distracting and cluttering. Please remove the tags.

    Revert the chat back to normal
    Sort the DQ items out
    Totally unfair on the TW
    Sort the font out
    Start listening to the people that actually play the game, afterall PWI would be nothing if it wasn't for the gamers. We spend really cash for items in the game, we keep you in jobs so to speak.

    GM's please pass this onto the powers that be, i know you only get the flak when these things happen. (Unless your the reason for these things b:chuckle )

    I will write my complaint in a font size that I feel accurately describes how crowded and closed in I am feeling...

    I think the new UI looks crowded and claustrophobic; I am not blind! It has messed up the genie too (right click it and see for yourself how the numbers overlap). The screen text is FAR too large. I can't track my quests without not being able to really see my screen properly, and the number for hp/mp are annoyingly large (for me, they distract me from watching my bar go down when I am dying).

    If you're going to **** with the UI like this, I think there should be an option the revert back to the older version OR at least mae a font size option for the UI, not just the chat.

    Speaking of that...

    I like the new chat, MINUS the annoying chat labels. I'm not an idiot, nor am I a beginner who is easily confused by her different chats. I, and many others, are annoyed by having to see "WORLD", "NORMAL", etc cluttering our chat when we type. Get rid of that.

    Keep the cool hyper stone clicker by the hp bar, trash the TW and market destroying mirage reawrds (seriously, what were you ppl thinking?! And right after people did their bidding?), and keep the option where ppl can see an item being advertised (i think that is really awesome).

    But, I think I speak for all Perfect World when I say that you guys have a LOT of work to do.

    The huge numbers over the HP/MP bars are bugging me too. Have had to click those circles to the left of the bars to switch on those little bars that show above your character's head (don't know the proper term for it) just to be able to easily see what percentage my HP/MP is. I've never liked those little bars but have no real choice other than risking death/wasting food. Hopefully it won't be long before all of this is fixed.

    I just kinda zone out when I play the game anyways. This new patch just encourages that. If I don't look at the numbers I can estimate how much HP I have left by how much red there is......@_@

    Same, that's what I would do before the patch. Now however, for me at least, it's difficult to see what percentages I'm at because there's white **** all over the bars. Missing how tidy it all looked before.

    Once again PWI staff took the voice of few and ignored the vast majority, while still not understanding the concept of OPTIONAL. I hate the new UI, its completely out of proportion and is useful only for people with bad eyesight, and an eyesore for those with good vision.

    Thanks for once again meddling with the chat, something you should improve, not bring down as due to your incapability of adding proper content or fixing old one, has become 1 of the few reason players are still here: chatting with friends. Now its harder to do that.

    I really hope you take your heads of your bums and bring back the old UI or at the very least make it optional, cuz this is just awful and i feel like playing less and less.

    "Free to play. Pay to win"

    The item linking is kind of cool and, while it is currently annoying in its overuse, I think that will die down as the newness goes away.

    The boxes are ugly and pointless. The color coding worked just fine and these are only distracting.

    The font is too big. It's nice that we have an option to make it smaller in the chat window but I would prefer to have that option for all of it (friend list, quest log, etc) rather than having multiple font sizes across the screen.

    Overall, not a good impression... It looks a little looney toons.

    Item linking is nice, found this to be very useful in **** (wups cant say that here :P)

    Though the text change, and the *guild* *normal* icons are just annoying..go back to the old style please.

    Well, it needs work. Item linking is great. Text and tag... not so much.


    Hey, but at least you added your current ping time and frames per second. That's actually nice.

    No, but several people have mentioned your solution already and what I said is only the truth. There's no need to be offended 9_9.
