Pictures at bottom of postt!
1. Text is squinty small and the text color is a bad choice. It should be a brighter color like the white of the name and class/level. Possibly increase size too. Small size is detrimental to PvP/PvM when you are in a tough situation and want to know exactly how much HP you have left with just a glance.
2. Quest Box still has Evo skin buttons. But more importantly there is NO longer any option to minimize any of the boxes via a minimize button! The only way to access the menus is through the terrible menu button or through awful keyboard shortcuts. Add a minimize button for all menus!
3. WTF compass? Stupid compass covers up a ridiculous amount of the mini map and this hinders the ability to see other players on the mini map in PvP situations. If you really need to include the compass make it fit next to the maximize button (+ sign) on the top of the mini map.
4. Character box is unnecessarily large. Smaller one was better but again more importantly the stats are all off center and I could see a new person possibly being confused and putting stats in the wrong place.
5. The skill bar is long and looks terrible if you're trying to access other menus via the menu button with a smaller resolution. Menu button should be moved or should allow you to move it to where ever you want like under character's name or mini map and expand vertically instead of horizontally.
6. The entire Game Option box is messed up. A bunch of the text is cut off like the k's in Block and the lower case g's as well as the y in Quality. Changing resolution via this causes game to crash.
7. Enlarging mini map makes it take on the old Evo skin.
8. When you have no job, the picture doesn't fit inside the skill box and the basic/job/etc buttons overlap into the skill area.
9. This isn't the best text color choice for clan information. Very faded looking and possibly hard to read for some.
10. You can barely tell which button I have selected in the clan box because of the similar colors. Not a big deal but could stand out a little more.
11. Chat boxes have old Evo skin pieces in them.
12. When clicking a player who is offline to mail them, the box that pops up has old Evo skin pieces.
13. Craft/CG painting windows have no items visible and are Evo skin style.
Additional:
- Most of it is an ugly rusty looking color that doesn't seem very Rose-like.
- CG skill doesn't show up.
- Can't scroll through clan member list.
- Can't use number/F9-12 shortcuts to scroll through the skill bars/hotkey bars.
- If you drag a menu item from the menu bar you can still get the minimized blue box from the old Evo skin which you can click on to open.
- Item mall items not showing up / not visible in trade box.
- Server disconnected message appears in old Evo skin style.
- Should add an option to turn off "Tool Tips" in the Game Option menu.
- Failed to join chatroom message box bug has the old Evo skin.
- Cannot find file. You can check additional information about clan marks on Rose webpage message box is still old Evo skin style.
- Insufficient inventory space message box is in old Evo skin style.
- Requiring several clicks to change simple options like enter/normal chat mode and single/double click target sucks. Especially when we were able to change them with one click before. Maybe have an expand/maximize button where the name, HP/MP, etc is listed and when expanded provides more information/options like shortcuts for enter/normal chat mode.
- Leaving Party message box is in old Evo skin style.
Some additional feedback from other users in this thread:
- No more ALT function for skills, CTRL is awkward and hard to use.
- Another point for non-US keyboard users. The last 2 buttons of the skillbar fail as hotbuttons for me. On my (german) keyboard the - and the = are not located behind the 0. We don't even have a separate =key (it's shift+0). - Eleria/Niluje
- All that space in between the item slots and borders is wasted screen space. I'd rather there be no space or a simple dividing line and have the box be smaller over all. - Coffeemuse
- I really miss the ability to hide the avatar part. The old interface had an arrow button that let you toggle it on or off. Now that eats up space in the screen and I don't always need to see whats in it. - Coffeemuse
- I like to play in Enter mode so that i don't need to use CTRL or ALT to access any of the windows in game. I started to play today and noticed that pressing ENTER while in ENTER Mode also changes ALL the hotkeys from the number bar to the F bar. I was just getting used to using the number bar instead (which incidentally I really dislike) when somebody started talking to me, i hit ENTER to answer them and suddenly my skills all stopped working and i got killed. This happened another 3 times before i figured out that the ENTER key actually woks as a toggle.
It is pretty much impossible to play in ENTER Mode now. - PurpleYouko
Overall, I think the devs were focused more on style/look and less on function. The UI is too minimalistic at the moment. The minimalism limits options and accessibility of certain information when it could do both whilst still looking good.
