[Discussion about the new UI]

Hi frankie,

I am wondering if any thoughts on removing the chat tags are being considered. There's been 65 pages of discussion, with most people absolutely loathing it. Personally, I find it so obnoxious I can't bear to log on more than just to do marriage quest. Are you taking in these opinions and weighing the options of removing the tags, or are we stuck with them for good?

Quoted so it isn't lost

The genie exp bar is still huge after this week's update. b:shocked

Can we fix it please? I liked it when it was normal sized. b:cute

If you are wondering what I am talking about here's a screenie:



Thanks~~~

OK Frankie I would like to see a developer reply to some of the post on here and the UI thread as i feel they are so outta touch with the players it is not even fun anymore.....


1) Duke needs to shut up.... this is just stupid and I miss so much of what is going on because he announces everything including if you make armor and make all class pet = just stupid turn that off no one wants to hear it!!

2) so many are still getting headaches and quitting game because of new UI and font.... give us options as to what we want to use don't cram it down our throats!!

3) get rid of the boxes in the chat system they are useless and clutter things up making it look like a 2 year old is programing...... or wait maybe it is a 2 year old that is programing it !!!

4) BH29 is fubared yet again and will not reset pat yourselves on the back for yet another mess up in game that will take days to fix most likely....

5) the auto tracking was nice to use for BH's but now it is useless because unless you are in that instance you cant track to the dungeon pat yourselves again for messing this up as well.......

6) why does the GM's, Moderator's, and development team not listen and try to do something that the player base wants......... oh ya as long as they get money from the sales they don't care about us because this is not our game but it is THEIR game and they will mess it up however they want

I am sorry to be so negative but for some reason you keep bypassing what we are saying so the more I play the more I see people upset with what is happening and not getting fixed............



and I just noticed that Frankie says that he has no control over what happens well then I would say that those that do need to start posting some and READ the forums that you start ....... I would have to say from what I see and what I have read that they don't even know there is a forum to discussion on what they do..... maybe a reply from one of the development team would help......


and I do not believe that the last few patches had anyone look at them or you would have noticed that there was a million things wrong with it.....

maybe you need to have a few from ea server able to log into the "Test Server!" and that way we as players can give input before it is shoved down our throats.......

I like* how instead of making the font smaller they increased the size of a button or two to accommodate it instead

* by like I mean I don't like

First Kantorek said something along the lines of ''We don't test the patches we get from China so bear with us b:surrender''

And now Frankie said they do test them?

I call shenanigans! b:irritated

Yeah, the GM's say a lot of things. They say a lot and do very little.

I never said anything at all like that. I did say, in reference to the Rising Tide expansion, to bear with us on the delay because we are still testing it.

Bull****, Kanto. You said in direct response to me that GMs did not test patches. Want me to tell you how it went because now you're contradicting your own stories?

I stated GMs clearly don't test patches. At all. Because of the crappy UI.

You came back and said that I was right. GMs don't.

When I stated that this mean Frankie had been lying because Frankie said patches were tested, somebody then came along and said that technically you aren't a GM, and that it's your job (you as in Kanto) to test the patches. GMs themselves don't test patches, and this confusion was caused because GM is being used as a blanket term right now.

Want me to go get the quotes in order to explain this? Cause I will. Seriously, don't BS, Kanto. You said GMs don't test patches and it was in direct response to me and I will find the quotes if you carry on lying about that.

I was responding to the statements made by Nowitsawn that you had said something along the lines of patches not being tested. In fact that story there clears what exactly was said up and who by quite nicely.

I'd go get all the quotes in order, too, but one of the threads has been moved to a place I can't reach, so I can't actually get the post Kanto made in response to me. I can get my second post and Frankie's response.

They weren't wrong either. You had said that patches weren't tested. Nowitsawn just didn't remember the fact you had been specific and said patches weren't tested by GMs.

Just so it's easy to find.

Thank you

So it seems they somewhat fixed the UI system. The text is no longer a ridiculously large size geared toward the visually impaired. The half-assed job isn't going to cut it though. You can go ahead and remove the chat indicators as has been previously implied, suggested, and demanded. We already were aware of which chat we were speaking in. Don't use the whole "mass of WCs (wrong chats)" to justify this. You can't fix stupid. You can, however, fix this horrible mistake. Mr. Warren is very displeased. The same can be said for the overwhelming majority of the players of this failing MMO.

Seriously, why are people giving grief to the GM's because of a failing in language itself.

GMs are part of multiple groups; two being GM and working for the company.

They will think of themselves as both: We, the GMs; and We, the company. They cleared the confusion, and weren't being deceitful or trying to trick some tinfoil hat wearing gamers. Who the heck doesn't change around the use of the word We when referring to things. And the thing is, no one actually thinks anything of it until someone points it out. Because the people they usually talk to and use it already know the difference. It just didn't work in this one case because forum goers didn't know. And yes, the moonwalk was real.

Because nobody up there knows who runs or does what...

Ha. It sounds like how certain convenience stores run their business. In short, company owned stores over individually owed. b:chuckle Sorry for that, I'm bitter. Went from one to the other recently, losing my job in the process and now they've completely ruined everything that was good about our store. So yeah. b:pleased They don't recognize people who know the store as being anything but complete idiots. They don't know how anything but THEIR **** works because they won't listen when they ask about it. They're all running around like chickens with their heads cut off acting like stuck up pricks not willing to do anything except what they want, regardless of whether it would be better for the store or the customers to do it how it used to be. And they don't know **** about what they're doing and how things should run there as opposed to how they work elsewhere. Exactly how all of these changes work fine for China, but should be kept out of International. It just doesn't work here. Now everyone with the 'company' mindset, here and elsewhere needs to pull their heads out of their asses and listen to how some things just don't work everywhere.
