[Discussion about the new UI]

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

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

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.

No new font sucks

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.

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.

and so, the glorious death of pwi..
the once great game, diseased, infected.
b:cry

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.

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.

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.

For anyone complaining about the size of the font (ignore the tags, the bleeding labels, etc for one second)

Its not the bold, its the size that is the problem. I have put my geni in inventory bc i get headache when i c the big numbers.

But the chatt window is nice
