They are involving Tolero in the doing the fix to the UI.

Wasn't Tolero involved in how the classes are now split on the forums? Isn't she supposed to be pulling bugs from the forums for devs? I have a feeling that we are going to get screwed some more.

Tolero's derp aura can render a dev unable to make coherent code.

Please vote for a toggle to revert to the old UI for me! I dont mind it except on my healers... and on them I H8 it!!

At least they are looking at it.  I expected the typical ignore it and wait till people get used to approach.

From what I recall reading, the UI extendability in in DDO is very limited. I'd like to see them build a system that gives modders more power, much like the UI skins in Firefox.

Right now, skinmakers can't even edit the mouse pointer. I want a great big fluorescent bullseye, because I lose the stupid thing in the middle of fights. Difficult to rez someone who is dead or drink a curse pot when you can't find the pointer. We should be able to modify the size and location of any element - if I want party health bars that are translucent and cover half of my screen, I should be able to do that.

Instead of bitmapped icons for spells and gear, I'd rather see vector graphics that scale to whatever size you want. That would really benefit old people like Stainer, whose failing eyesight needs larger sizes on everything. Sort of like a DDO version of large print books from the library. I don't see that happening though.

That's all well and good, but they didn't do ANY of that with this horrible update to the UI. And in fact they made it more difficult for the UI skinners to do what they do FOR FREE for the community: skin the UI. The elements of the party UI, you know the ones that changed, haven't been released by Turbine and Cordovan said it will be a few weeks before that happens.

If they actually made it so that the UI was fully skinnable and made every single element tweakable, that would be amazing. But they're not setting out to do that. They're just going to try to make the new UI look less like that scene from Carrie and make it more usable by people who actually play the game. But I bet dollars to donuts that the'll fuck it up worse somehow.

That's probably why they haven't implemented those...

Question: with the new interface, how does one leave a party or boot a member? Right clicking doesn't bring up a menu as before.  Did I miss something?

^^^^ That.

We'll have them wear pony heads...and that's it.

The new official method is to swap characters every time you want to leave a party!

In all seriousness, I am able to leave parties, but sometimes it takes a few tries.  I have heard people experiencing that problem and they did have to swap characters in order to leave the party, but they did not have the problem again once they swapped characters.

I like how they act all surprised and want to have focus groups and shit now, but they knew the new UI was a clusterfuck of fail since Lam. I would post this on the other forums, but Tolero gets all butt hurt when I point out contradictions in what they are saying. That, and Majfailphunktion doesn't like to talk about the past. Yesterday is the past, so he gets a clean slate.
