WTB old skill system window

[beav]

as title says, i would like the old skill window back, complete with unspent IPRs. i would settle for the old GUI, or the option to turn it back on, but keeping the current mechanics of the window intact (like where the body dev and nano pool skills moved to, etc.). i would also settle for having the old UI for the window, while keeping the "not being able to reset basic abilities" part of the new system.

i can understand the reasoning behind the new system, however if something aint broke dont fix it (namely the UI for skills).

please everyone post yea or nay whether you would like to see the old UI for skills at the very least, back.

try to keep the thread on topic please, and no flames so we dont get this closed, and all can put thier vote one way or the other in.

/sign for option to use old gui or new, options are nice, forced ideas are not

[ZenWon]

Bump for option to reset to old.

i'll get used to it but I don't want to.

Bump!

The new skill window is the ugliest crap I ever seen. Also the old one is much easier to read.

AGREED!

I'd at least like the option to switch. My main gripe with the new window is that it causes my client to freeze for 1-2 seconds, something the old GUI never did. It's very handy when you're out leveling, running, just being active, etc. to be able to pull up your IP interface and use it. With the new interface, god forbid I try to take a look at my skills during a fight while I'm trying to figure out why I can't cast that nano (was I debuffed or forgot to buff up?) because the pause could be lethal.

It's also be nice if you could resize it to ANY size but that's just me...

Bump wtb old gui back, i welcome new changes.. but not to somthing that was working perfectly well before.

[writer54]

Bump for all the reasons Viloxus posted!

[beav]

well i gotta say, i dont mind the mechanics of the new skill system, i just dont like the new UI window for it. the onld one was MUCH easier to read at 1600x1200 resolution.

Bump for agreement. Don't like the 2-3 second delay for the window to come up - prefer the old system as it was easy to read and navigate through. I'll eventually get used to it, but i am agreed - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Not to mention that the U key is right next to the I key so accidentally pressing U while trying to open Inventory to use stims etc during a fight can easily get you killed.

Is there someway we can get the option for either

should still got that code lying around in old AO files to pop it back in

[Nemessis]

like most i can deal with the new but i think it sux

While the old was not the best the new is even worse

If it isnt broke then done fix it..... If you are going to change it make it better

FC Failed on both accounts

WTF give us an option to use the new or the old interfaces

As a matter of fact FFS on the mouse scroll zooming... WE WANT CHOICES AND THE ABILITY TO TURN ON/OFF!!!!

The new skill menu lacks features the old one did, you cant see your IPr, you also cant see how much ip your putting into a skill without doing math for each point you put in, and it makes my comp freeze up for a second or two... and my comp doesnt lag when i have 2 copies of AO open, so something is wrong! There was no reason to do this to your customers funcom, please give us our old features back!

[Mishie]

I don't like it at all either....
and if you all are trying to reduce lag, why would you change the Skills Window that now lags for anywhere from 10-20secs??

As some have already stated, in battle, when I can't cast my best heal, I usually pull up my skill window and check nano skills real quick to see how much I am missing, can't do that now... if I am healing, that 10-20secs means alot, and when it's nothing but frozen screen, can't do much unless I want to risk someone dying.

So, implementing a way to choose, old or new is a good thing in this situation imho

bump for the old skill system or option to choose

Had the exact same delay issues, unless I'm in bor then it's more like 3 sec.



I hate the scroll feature with a passion, maybe an option here too?
