One tiny lil whine about the patch

I can't believe this hasn't been brought up yet, if it has I apologize, must've missed it.

The new buff screen.
While I, especially as a cleric certainly welcome the option of seeing all the buffs of my squad members, it's next to impossible to tell which ones they have at a quick glance simply because they're too jumbled up.

All the buffs used to follow a fixed order; for instance bramble guard, hp/mp regen, hp buff, magic defence buff with the rest following a certain order.

Now, seemingly there's no logical order to them anymore, and they just sort of randomly appear anywhere on the buff screen. And with two full rows off buffs it takes ages to see which one a squad member may be missing.

Also, a millimeter of space in the squad menu between the players would be much appreciated and allow for a MUCH better view at the buffs.

I'm sure everyone would appreciate a tweak for the better.
Thanks b:thanks

    increase your resolution? might help, might not...

    me personally, i'm in love with the devs fro putting this in b:dirty

    i'm a barb, yes, but all my habits and natural reaction/actions are based off my time as a cleric (i still go to hit F1 whenever a party member is at 3/4 hp b:surrender) i have no trouble at all telling which person has which buffs, and also, they seem to remain in the standard order that i'm used to...

    then again, alot of people were complaining about "the red box extending past the squad names, and constantly remaining active, even if they aren't in combat"... i didnt have that problem. the box was extended yes, but only showed up while in combat.

    methinks some of you need to a) wipe PWI off your hard drive (not just standard uninstall, that doesnt remove everything) and b) install it again (pull the client off the main PWI site, not a mirror.

    I thought they went...

    1 3 5
    2 4 6

    and so on, but that was just me. It's hard at times to figure out which buffs belong to which party member.

    I dislike how now you cant click the names of people in the squad like you used to be able to. Now I run when I click thurr D: And when you're in an area with a ton of people having to scroll through that window to find them takes a bit of time o.x
    Little annoying, ya.

    You can use shift-1, shift-2, shift-3, etc. to target squad members. What's missing is a target-self key.

    It works SOMETIMES >.< But 90% of the time you have to click on the left most corner of the squad name.

    I agree 100% with the OP...Just a tiiiny little space between one person's name & Buffs and another would make things a lot less confusing...

    Also do they HAVE to go out to the right side? I really find that annoying because my Pet Info bar is on the left and my quest tracking in on the left so naturally I would want to slam my Squad bar to the far right so it does not impede my vision of anything else...but now I cannot DO that because I cannot see the buffs anymore. So I have to move my quest tracking over to the left and slam Squad under Pet which can make things even MORE confusing...
