Do you think you could spread the party UI out a little further? I still can see a little bit on my monitor.

Thanks for all your concern about my playing enjoyment.

Hell yes to this!

Between hotbars and the new party UI there is still fully at least 1/3 of my screen not being utilized in any way by static displays. This oversight needs to be addressed please Turbine.

Can definately tell the Arti is the new pet class of Turbine. Revamped the entire party UI to a system everyone loathes; and just so the Arits can see their pets health convienently.

Seriously, I say Artis can go collectively fuck themselves with a big shiny toy they crafted specially for self-anal exploration. Funnly how that for two years I managed just fine to keep an eye of summons health (the rare times I was even concerned abbout it) just by clicking on them.

Arti pets do not need their own special reserved space in the party UI.

I have to say this new UI is really screwing me and other healers up from what I have heard in guild chat and in parties so far today. Good thing most of my chars can do emergency/secondary healing is all I can say; its a mess.

Wouldnt it be nice if once; just once they released changes and then said "This is what we are doing, What do you think of this? Can it be improved?" rather then their current system of "This is what we did; and by the time you see it it's too late now to make any changes, so just deal with it".

And they wonder why people get pissy about changes...

Thank god I upgraded to a 27 inch widescreen last week.  The money I'll save on aspirin from eyestrain will pay for the new monitor in no time.

Thanks god I wet to Full Time dual screen with my move.

I have the screen real estate to host the fucking full sized idiotic bars...

But still, they are way way way way more usable than the old one. And the small version is just too small.

It's not the size of the new party UI, it's the fucking spacing/padding that's ridiculous.

I keep finding myself trying to click a party box and moving them closer together.

It would have been much more intelligent of the Dev team instead of adding extra spacing to every party/raid UI just incase you happen to be running with an Arti, so everyone can see the Artis pets status; to just make a secondary HP bar on top of the Artis personal HP bar that is for their own information.

Because the Arti is going to be doing all the healing for the summon anyways, so why does everyone need to see this information? I certainly am not adding the summons to my "Must heal" list when running content with an Arti in the party.

I usually find enough challenge in just keeping the players alive in a PUG while they are all busy trying to find new and immaginative ways to die.

I am not accepting artis into groups until the spacing is fixed.

I dunno. I haven't bought them. Not that I mind them selling them. It is no different than FvS. I just hate that they fucked my UI up so bad.

New UI is crap; using a laptop with 1366 res. and I have to move my own hp/sp over when I'm in a group. Everyone hated it on lamma, everyone hates it on live. What really shocks me is that this was clearly the 'best' they could do; I'd hate to see what was on the cutting room floor.

We get a tax break for having him in the guild.  Think of how much we would get if we recruited Firaga the 2 con barbarian!

Not being one that came in with FTP, I had the favor to get my wings for free when they were released. 

As to them not being available to me via favor on the day of release, fuck that, they get no TP from me.  Let the other fools figure out the bugs and when they finally release enough content to be available via favor, I *might* roll one up.

Untrained spastic targets are the most likely to get a lucky shot in, because they are unpredictable. That and fear.


But yeah, the new UI is horrible. I have never seen a game made with a UI that is so non customizable as this one, even just for sizing.

I would like to see something like the Perfect World UI being used.



Where as you can see; the summon status bar is part of the players UI; not shoved into the party bar.

I found it worked quite well with the system they had there.

The DDO system is screen space wasteful and gives irrevelant information that no-one but the Arti is going to need or care about anyways.

Untrained - maybe not to your level, but there has been some. Plus I totally have watched shit load of kung fu movies.
