[Discussion about the new UI]

Lol with 10 pages & counting of playing commentng that link is good while the new font sucks, let's see if anything will be changed.

The new font is simply horrible. I normally don't complain about stuff but seriously that is the worst change you ever made.

It is an absolute pain to read the stuff and the new icons saying what kind of chat is used by a player make the stuff difficult to read and are totally unneccessary unless 50% of the community would admit they are actually colour blind.

I logged out just a few minutes after seeing the new font and I am not sure yet if I want to keep playing the game. This might sound exaggerated but for me this kills the game.

I used to like this game a lot but well, thanks for destroying it for me.


I hope someone will bring you to your senses.


On a sidenote: On Dreamweaver people plan to erase PWI from their Facebook friends to show their point cleary. If you hate the new font just as much as those people you might want to consider doing it too.

Nah... nothing will change like always... people will just rant away how horrible is the new font and size of it, some will quit cause of it. Rest will stay, get used to it and move on... like always... What doesn't kill you, make you stronger...

But seriously... that new font is hideous, I know some person who is stopping to play till it gets fixed not cause of "dislike", but cause of health... seems it hurts some people eyes, who already got problems with vision.
But I doubt that they will fix it. For me it seems they took part of JD code and made it usable for PWI. I think the linking thing is coming from there and the huge text came along. At least an option to change the size would be nice...

My first ever QQ on the forums...

I can't play this game anymore. And it sucks, because I really want to! b:cry

I've just spent the last few hours trying to change resolution, display settings, font sizes, and various combinations of everything i could think of, and at the end of this I have a splitting headache and my eyes are burning. And I have not found any setting that makes chat comfortable to read. I can deal with everything else, but chat is unusable now.

The icons that tell you which chat you're in don't need to be there, and they take up too much space. If it's light blue, I know it's faction chat. Or is it guild chat? Or guildtion chat? Whatever it is.

Everything looks fuzzy now, no matter what resolution I view it in. I've even been so far as to change the refresh rate of my monitor, and it's making no difference. The font is just wrong too.

Kudos on the item linking though, that feature is awesome.

But can the other chat features be put back to how they were? I really love this game and want to continue to enjoy it, but my eyes just cannot deal with the changes to the chat. It's honestly painful.

To be honest, the new UI looks terrible imo, im acctually wondering abt quiting pwi just becz of it, but the new item thingy was awesome b:victory

Well whoever decided to increase the font size and add the useless Faction, System ect Boxes on the chat needs to be fired immediately, the linking system is pretty cool for the time being but do we really need all these changes?

(Starts to wonder how many will actually leave PWI because of the lame **** changes)

I don't think the new chat window is so bad when you get used to it..

Just make an option to make it wider and fix so words arn't splitted apart when there is a line shift...
Like this exam
ple...

Would also be nice if you fix so chat history isn't cleared when you change from squad to faction chat etc while you are fighting b:thanks

Hm...i.m.p the font is too big, too fat and the "Guild/Faction/..." "button" from where it comes is rly....ehm...ya...annoying. Make it smaller, ot that fat and pleeeeeeeaaaseeee remove this annoying buttons saying who said what T_T...old style was nice

Items-linking: It's nice to have!

Font-style: AWFUL, I can't stand the farspaced types.
Font-size: In chat I can decide about the size, everywhere else I sadly can't. Please make the size free to choose ... but fix the gauges of mobs/bosses, players, genies. Thats awfully too big! Please fix the size in the questlist, please fix the fontsize everywhere to something smaller.

Private, World,...-Icons: do we REALLY need to have that? I am quite happy with the colour and find the icons merely irritating.
Although I don't use hyperstones myself for all it concerns I think the hyperstonebutton at the personal gauge is nice to have.

All in all: font-style and size is bad, else: its alright.

Since i play with a resolution of ~ 1620 x 1024 it was way to small before! So yes i like the Interface update as a whole. Ok it has bugs but i finally am able to see my HP without a magnifing glass. Also i can now read the quests way easyer (yes i read the quests and yes some i realy like). Also i can see, without glueing my nose to the screen, that the Boss has 400k HP not 4million.

The font looks a little booring tho.
Also at the AH the font could be bolder for the listed items too.
Now if youd manage to fix that the font busts the windows or just writes itself over like in the Genie window im happy. :P

It would be the nice if you could change the interface size along with the font size. So maybe if you could choose between small font and smaller windows (like it was before) or bigger font +bigger windows (like now but with a little bigger windows)at the system menu that would be hot and help those with smaller screens too. I dont know the basic resolution of the window images so that might be harder then it sounds. ;_;

I also think its very good that now it reads "WORLD" etc in front of the chat message. Yes we veteran players got it and dont need it but i remember exactly how i felt like when i played for the first time 2 years ago: "What the hell does yellow mean? What does green mean?" PWI already is not very new player friendly and that was one thing which added up.

Im also aware that it isnt that easy since you can say much more with chinease letters in the same space then with western letters. So localization of that is hard work for the interface guy and btw the main reason many asian games are never released for western markets.

Please excuse my bad english i realy tried hard. b:surrender

gross. as far as i can tell there was no reason for any of that. the origin of each chat was perfectly understandable before with the color coding, why is it necessary to tell us (guild), (world), (squad), etc? and having a single color for the names of all chatters regardless of the chat origin is just an eyesore.

i tried jade dynasty on a whim a few months ago, and quit after about a week because the UI was so terrible. the chat box was totally illegible, for instance, and now pw looks a lot more like that.

and while i don't TW myself, the changes to that seem really poorly thought out. mirages as the only consistent reward? secret bids? no refunds? you don't want people to do TW at all, do you?

you "fixed" stuff that wasn't broken, and it turned out a LOT worse than it was. why not spend a few minutes taking care of things related to actual gameplay, like the bugged cleric m.def skill? i'm sure there's plenty of stuff like that to take care of.

We have all gotten used to the other font and sizes so this new update takes away what we are used of, and therefore many think it's bad. Not to mention since the font sizes on different things are too big, everyone automatically goes "No I hate it!".

I personally like the font size in the chat box if you decrease the font size to minimum. And you should remove the annoying buttons before the name too.


Edit: Everything is actually horrible besides the chat box. The NPC texts are horrible, and the territory name that appears when you enter a new territory was sooo much better on the older version. Bring it back please!

I'm on vacation so unable to log in pwi myself... but my friend sent me a screenshot from the new chat.
I'm saying this:

IT IS HORRIBLE LOOKING!

Are you trying to make PWI as Ether Saga with all "cute" chat and chibi characters? Or like Maple Story? T____T

TAKE THOSE TAGS AWAY! TY!

Or make it possible to take tags away of yourself if you don't like it. b:beg

b:cry

to change the font size in the chat window go to
system settings > game
and its just below the box containing the chat region info.
Can un-bold it as well ^^

inb4thefail..... woops to late


edit: meh im just turning off all chat now im a loner anyway
