User Interface Feedback

[Samhayne]

If you have specific, constructive comments about the revised User Interface, please post them here.

Please only post your thoughts after playing. Also, please be specific. Saying you don't like something without being specific as to what you don't like isn't very helpful. If you provide specifics about what exactly you think, it's much more helpful and useable for us.

Thanks!

The quest available checkbox.

When my finger slides on the virtual joystick, I accidentally activate it (I have pretty large fingers).

I am already having this problem as well, just as in SL (with the old new quick chat icon being too close to the virtual joystick). Quest checkbox (a dislike ever since it popped up, personally...just more clutter on the screen) is very close to the virtual joystick on my iPhone 3GS.

Better than last version

This interface is by far superior to the older interface.

There is one thing I really do not like it is the "exit level" button, too easy to click and I think this should be a "close menu" button instead, exit level should not be that easy to do and it is not very clear on how to close the menu overlay once it's up...

Sorry, completely disagree. The old and not broken UI was far superior to this one. The squirrels also agree with me

I found a bug already. When you have the chat open you can scroll up but not down. The down arrow is missing for me. My Touch 4g.

I have the same problem on my DROID x2 Android v 2.3.3

i have droid x2 and i think we should have an option to turn it off if we aren't using it, it just gets in the way

Thoughts and recommendations:

1. Emotes should be placed in the previous position for easy access.

2. Pots should be visible in town to see how many a player has on hand in case they need to get more.

3. Too easy to hit the quest button; lethal in pvp.

4. I gotta admit, I'm not too sold on this chat system.

Otherwise it looks usable. Perhaps the button to hide 8 skills could be switched with the emotes as it isn't used often unlike emotes which are.

Edit:

After playing with it some more, I'd strongly advocate the older set.

[Hankomachos]

My only problem is the emote location.
I prefer it to be available, like right under the menu button.

The quick chat is used often, and is just not thumb friendly where it is.

On small device screens the thumbs rest comfortably on the bottom left and right. Reaching for the chat and the quick chat where they are is inconvenient in a dungeon where often you don't have time to move your thumb three inches before you have to pot or heal.

The same thing as I said in SL and got no Dev replies.

Hey Sam,

I have a question. Is there one layout for all devices? I play on IPad and have plenty of room for lot's of things, but I can imagine a phone might get crowded. I ask this because I don't want to ask for things if it's just not feasible. The new layout is okay, but again, on the Ipad, the joystick is in an very awkward place and IMO should be moved lower where my hand holds the ipad and is more accessible with my thumb. Also, I really enjoy using emotes in both PL and SL, but the current way of having to press two buttons to access the emotes is just unusable, is there a way they could be placed across the entire bottom of the screen and be there permanently (or an option to enable/disable?).

Thanks,

[Yvonnel]

Somewhere there is a guide to using emotes without the emote button.....

Here it is.....

Sam... Epic win when it comes to implementing the SL interface into PL, except the quest button being so close to joystick on my droid x.

Love that you guys took all the negative feedback about how annoying and intuitive having to switch skill bars is and how annoying managing cooldowns is in SL and left all skills visible in PL.

Any chance SL will get the same love in the near future?

I also use the incredible, my only major problems are the quest icon above the joystick and having to click the chat box to talk. Other then that i liked the emotes where they were and the new messaging system is great.

We would ask that you please refrain from expressing your opinions and instead focus on concrete feedback, such as "if this button was moved slightly on this platform it would work better for me because..."

Thanks!

Ok, the quest check box on iOS is very close to the NW corner of the virtual joystick area. If it is here to stay, please slide it up along the left edge of the screen slightly to create more spacing with the edge of the joystick touch area. Or move it over to the right of the screen between the Auto icon and the skill expand book/button.

1. Move the virtual joystick lower (down toward the bottom of the screen) such that if the bottom left corner of the Ipad is sitting in the palm of your hand you can comfortably reach the joystick with your thumb.

2. Have the option to place the emotes back on your main screen full time with a toggle arrow on the screen as before. This could be placed directly above the new location of the virtual joystick I proposed in 1.

3. Place the text back on the bottom of the screen with varying lines of display (1/3/5/9). That way we can use our thumb to select the text box and type a message and not have to take our hands off the device and touch the top of the screen.

Hope that helps,
