    Just wanted to know if others find the small squad window annoying?

    Most of the time i don't know what buffs or debuffs are on squad members or bosses.

      this

      there was immense amounts of QQing about the huge *** icons when they did the Genesis expansion even
      don't think of these as "new" icons b:chuckle they're about the same size as the original squad icons we had a looong time ago

      I love the new small squad window. I wished it stayed in the place I dragged it to though when you start a new squad...
      It's over the pet icon x_x" Which isn't as much trouble on seeker, but on veno it gets annoying ^^"

      It would be nice to get the old UI back in general. I do like this squad window now though. It's a lot easier to manage without it getting in the way of my clicks.

      It is a bit of a hassle having to reposition it every time I get into a squad on my Mysticb:surrender
      But the new size reminds me of the old days, which I like.

      I'm fine with the size itself. I just wish the name font would be a little bigger.
      And the window stayed where it is... Sucks for pet users x_x

      i dont like that they made the party window smaller, the old one could have easily fit 4 more slots with its original size. i also really find it extremely annoying that when you enter a party it overlaps your pet window, having to drag it down every time.

      I use old UI and not know what you are talking in this thread about.

      New interface is different from the old but has same functionality.

      I think the size is fine. As mentioned above it's kind of annoying having the squad bar cover the pet bar every time I join a party. I move it down a tad. But I think on the lowest resolution it would be way to big if they reverted it back to the size it was before the expansion.

      The icons were too big before. The new size is fine.

      I like the new size. I wish all of the elements of the UI were re-sizable.
      I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

      I love the fact that they made it smaller, however for some reason everything looks cramped in a way that it didn't look before the Genesis expansion.
      I want the older looking UI back. QQ

      Here's a ****ing idea.

      Make it user resizable?

      My screen is so big, I could be in a squad with 40 people and I would still have room. And my screen is only 21.5".

      Try playing on a 40+" screen, and you will realize that almost nothing is visible anymore unless you sit... really... close...

      85 Psy/80 Mystic
      And a handful of other alts, all 79 and under.

      I tried playing on my 42" tv. It's really nice but I agree you about the resolution. I have to lower it to ba ablle to read the chat and ite,quest descriptions. I usually just lower the resolution to where I can read it 7 feet away.

      no...but I play at 720p (instead of 1080p) on my 40" LCD

      They SHOULD make it sizable by the user. Though, the horrors this could create. PWE codes like monkeys flinging poo at a dartboard. b:laugh

      I don't like the new version, I would prefer one between the tiny one we have now and the almost too big we had before.

      At least with the larger one I could tell who I'm healing, and easily switch as needed with a glance. Now, the names are tiny, and with the order icons covering half the class icon its not always easy to tell who is gonna need to be focused on. I.e. which of the minimum 3-5 sins per every squad is the one currently racing as far as they can away from me at any given moment. I like to be preemptive like that.

      Also with all the tiny buff icons mashed together its a pain to tell who has what.

      Cant getting used to it.. simply way too small.

      the squad size problably fits well with 1280 or 1440 resolution.. but not 1920*1080+ just beyond tinyness....
      I cant read the names in squad if im more than like 50-60 cm from screen, not been any decent tw's yet, cos of the dam map reset, but this is gonna annoy the hell out of me in tw..

      This. I mostly have issues on my cleric for the same reasons. And I can no longer read the names which drives me crazy.

      I could handle it this small more if they would move it off the pet bar and enlarge the names. I find when I move it myself by dragging it, it messes up my ability to click on it to target a char for healing or buffing.

      I would rather it be normal size with 6 players and when it gets to 7-10 people in the squad,
      it starts to get smaller.

      I like it, if you enable "UI Scale" it fits better on high resolution, so I didn't have to reduce resolution to get better result.

      Edit:

      At all, I think it would be a EVEN higher pain to have a 10 man squad with the icons as it used to be. I do 10 man squads once a week to go at Territorial Wars and it would be annoying at my screen if it was like before.

      I much prefer the new size, the old one was too large and obnoxious. It always got in my way...

      FINALLY, they made them smaller!!! I wish they also made skill bars smaller, those foofaraw are just ugly, in a small screen they overlap the other skills, genie. DUHHH

      I would gladly use the OLD UI, but.... I can't send mails when the receiver has >10 symbols his name, T button and guild list are just screwed.

      Love the larger squads it makes possible, but if you are a Veno, it is a major pain to have to reposition the list EVERY time you join a squad and call your pet.

      Two Suggestions:

      1 - Make the thing pop up automatically below where the pet icon goes, or make the pet icon movable.

      2. - Please make the squad member names have a slightly larger or clearer font. I have to plant my nose on the list to read it.
