I have grown very fondly of this game over long time, i was one of the first players to test this game out.

New gamelauncher: Ugly.

New intro video/selecting screen: Ugly and Annoying too.

The patch notes say somethign about new interface beeing updated as a part of modernising the game. That sounds to me like progress. I do understand that they made this new intro to match the new 'end of the world' new gaemplay area. But still most of the game lookks beautiful and the reason why its so easy to like this game over other games.

Why don't the intro show what a beautiful game this is, and find other channels to advertise the new game content?

Or make it so we can choose game intro ourself. ... end rant ... b:cute

    This.

    I think this entire UI/Launcher/Website design was brilliantly designed. It looks refined, and put together. Minimal glitches, very user friendly. Whoever designed it, did a very good job, compared to the Fish update.

    People naturally QQ when they are introduced to new things. After awhile, everyone will get used to it :)

    I'm not seeing the problem with the skillbars, actually.

    The blocky bits elsewhere are mildlyl irritating.

    Moving the sort button in the inventory to where I won't hit it by accident is great!

    ... making the sort button in the bank? That's just EVIL. Gah!

    Most of the rest of it I could take or leave. Losing the commit button on autopath is a definite plus.

    TY, you should try some QQ yourself it cleane your system and it feels good after. b:cute

    Bare with me for a sec here ..

    About change beeing good always .. Lets say someones parents (not mine) change your world 'for the better'. Lets say that someone loves hamburger and the parents provides hamburger as many as you liked. Then one day they get this awsome idea that they will make the family eat healthier food, wich is a good thing right? So they say it will be stricktly fish and vegetables from now on (i know this has happened in the real world many times).

    How does this relate to PWI? PWE is our 'game parents' and we have to live by their rules. They make this big expansion because it is good for the game company economy. This has to be a good thing we can safely agree on. But that doesn't mean we have to lie and say the new content is nice and that we (the players) enjoy getting the content. ... end QQ .. b:cute

    I agree. At the moment, I hate the new in game layout, but I realize it is because I spent soooo long using the old one and that eventually I'll get used to this one too. (Though something is off; some things in the menus are harder to see for me then they used to be, but I realize that is just my eyesight, lol).

    Launcher = dont care.

    Intro = Annoying, but skippable thankfully. Wish it was click-to-skip as well however, I sat through it 3 times before hitting keys and finding it would skip. Was annoying me greatly.

    UI = I. Hate. It. Theres so much "dead space" between my skills, and in the middle of the dead space, I can click-move too! I go to hit undine on a target and I walk into aggro range of a different mob. Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. I want the bars to be solid again, so I cant click through when I miss a skill surrounded by 8 other skills >_> Aside that, aesthetically I dislike it, although il get used to it, I prefer TB > Original > This one.

    I really like the launcher and the intro too. I am really into these tribal / jungle things, I love nature and my favorite colors are brown, green and orange, so it feels like they made this expansion for me. (: I'm not fond of the classes, but the new places, the UI and the colors are amazing.

    I see what you saying. To sum it up you don't like it and I should respect your decision/opinion. No problem, to each our own.

    <Start nerdrage>

    I'm a huge lurker on the forums and don't post much but darnit... the QQ has been VERY STRONG for everything always and I for one am getting sick of it. It seems anything... ANYTHING and EVERYTHING PWE does, there are always people looking at the negative.

    /nerdrage

    Thanks PWE you doing a good job. Finally getting some stuff done a.k.a. u getting of your lazy asses.

    I love the new everything. b:cool

    I like the new launcher and I don't really mind the login screen or the intro video. I wish they made it click to skip like someone else mentioned though, but I soon figured out the to press buttons.
    The only thing I can complain about is how everything overlaps on the UI.
    I like to play 800x600 Full screen mode, and anything other than that is just too weird for me. I can't even see my skills in 1280x720 or whatever that number was again, and the other ones stretch out my UI in a weird way. So I have to deal with the HUGE chatbox overlapping my bottom skill bar, which overlaps the menu buttons.
    I attempted to put both skill bars on the right side of my screen, but I'm so used to having one at the bottom that I forget how to use my skills because the bar isn't where it normally is. I wish they'd put it back to how it was before. Just the dynamics of it, I really like the new sleek design of it. Just wish I could see half of it... b:surrender

    @NiightmareXz - Harshlands - You can click Enter to skip it. Took me a little to figure out myself, hope this help.s

    Sincerely, I love the new launcher. It has an original shape (not like the huge, rectangular one that the Rising Tide version had) and its colors are fine to me.

    As for the intro in the login screen, I like it as well, very well done and colorful. It's better than a simple block that emits bubbles and with fish swimming around (though I liked the fish part and the fact that you could move the login box around). At worst you can skip it even. I just wish you could interact with the scenery and/or annoy the funny tribal pipsqueaks. b:sin

    Edit: Much to OP's dismay, I'd even like if PWE made screensavers of their games (to download as goodies), given how good the login intro is.
    Maintenance time. Please choose a line:
    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.
    - *Incessant poking on Sweetiebot* Fun~

    Don't you hate when you read a new thread and you just can't manage to figure out what the OP is trying to get at? Your problems are now solved.

    Ladies and Gents - it's that time again where we explain the subtext, the *meaning* of your favorite forum posts.

    Instead, show us an extended cut scene - made with graphics that are 5 times better than the game itself, that we all have to sit through *every single time we log in, forever*. Really, whose idea was it to have the cutest mobs in the new expansion, cavorting around for my startup screen. That's Pathetic.
