now we know why it took so long.

because for 1 .
there is a dyslexic programmer,I.E. DAMAGE bar in focus orb goes from right to left now instead of left to right ***.
2
fixing things that aren't broke broke.

YEESH, at least the lag was addressed a bit.

they changed the damage bar so that it meshes better with the damage bar above the heads of the mobs (I know, they could have just changed the direction of the floating bar, but they are trying to go with the industry "standard")

I already brought it up in Beta and that's more or less what I was told.

all this flashy c rap was unneeded. I had no problem with the mod 8 UI. Auto targeting, the pic of the spell over your head after you cast, the flashy damage text, all not needed. I don't like it. This is not what the ddo community asked for. I am not happy with the UI

you can change most of the things back using this thread.

I would've liked the new direction of health bars... if the mail notification would've been still in the old spot, but since that is fixed too, totally unneeded change.

Are you so petty to complain about something SO minor as this? Then you sit there and make fun of the developers in the same sentence. All because the health bar goes a different way then it used to.

Hmm sounds petty.

me thinks the red dot says it all...but that's just me

me thinks your insightfulness is so staggering it deserves an explanation...

The delay of mod9 has been the source of a lot of frustration and anger. Being able to log in finally yesterday was truly awesome for us content starved DDO slaves. However, running through shroud last night revealed a LOT of changes. Auto attack works a bit different now on how you activate it, haste does not speed you up anymore (even though it says 40% in the description) and harry being far tougher then he used to be (now we mages can REALLY make a difference with dps...)

That's just from the top of my head but... umm hello? why do they work on messing with stuff that was working fine? Why all the fluffy little changes to existing content that was working great instead of NEW CONTENT???

That's why Foxx thinks if **** like that was a focus for the dev team it's little wonder the new content took so long.

Stop screwing with stuff like haste!! Do more stuff like shavarath!!! The landscape is stunning and many people besides Foxx wish to see more of THAT.


Was that more or less understandable?

I just love reaching to the wrong side of the inventory screen now to lock down an item as well.

After playing last night I actually didn't mind all of the new UI stuff - I enjoyed seeing the numbers that I was dealing against bad guys - didn't love the change in direction for the focus orb health bar but that's a minor complaint.

Only thing that drives me crazy is the location of the DDO store icon in the top left hand side bar - it's where the options button was to log out or quit and now each time I go to do that I open the **** store up! Now I know that's the point to continually remind people that the store is there so you will buy stuff in it...but it's still annoying.

The rest of it I really enjoy, and am looking forward to continuing to do so...

Turbine appears to have made a carbon copy of the Age of Conan health and damage combat system. It sounds and feels just like that game now. I guess we will see if that pans out for us getting new players.

So, TURN IT OFF!

LOL that was driving me crazy and I did it ALL DAY!

[foxx]

ROA said it,
i could have gone on and on with the un needed changes, but not really that into the complaining bit.
i will say fter having played most of yesterday, i have gotten used to and like the combat damage.

BTW the redot comes 90% from posting I wanna be a dev.
and the moderators taking it personal.
several points they can't even validate were against the posting guidlines.

[foxx]

heh , ya it took me a second to find it. first thought was, ahh crud, NOW i can't lock in this nifty new belt.

honestly , it was tons of little things like that i kept running into that made me scratch my head, and go huhhhhh, i wonder why.

someone mentiond they made it more like WOW.
ghauds i hope thats not where they wanna go.
i mean hey, if i wanted to play a bloody cartoon, i would been on WOW.

[spifflove]

This is not what the ddo community asked for.

Bingo!

[Goldeneye]

Apparently, they had to hire 10 more devs to work overtime in order to finally separate the colors on the monk ki / spell point bar. And Lesser restore can no longer be Maximized/Empowered.... no wonder it took this mod so long to come out!

[Goldeneye]

I made up the thing about hiring more dev's.... and appreciate finally actually fixing these issues...

you can change most of the things back using this thread.

Most, but not all, and even the things that purport to revert to the old style don't always make it quite all the way. The easiest to observe, of course, are the changes to mouselook.
