for those of us who believe the old UI should be returned.

I would like to say SK is my baby and I love it dearly, however to list my major issues as kindly as I can with the new UI.

1) it is simply crowded, it engulfs much more of the player screen, and many things pop up or move that do not really need to which are distracting and I'm sure they don't help during lagfests! xP

2) many of the new features are redundant...example the shield bar system, not only is it distracting and in an awkward place, but it is already put in place by the players shield colors!!!!!!!! a much more elegant and simple system.

3) NO CROWN COUNTER!!!! how can I have endless glee over my gradually growing stock pile of crowns!!

4) the color palette although very cool looking admittedly!!! I simply feel does not fit the former cheerful bright attitude of the SK universe.

5) the player portrait....siiiigh.. its in the way, I feel its taking to much from other mmorpgs, that being said, the previous SK UI was amazingly simple to see how much health teammates had left! were as now it is a little less noticeable when a teammate dies and so forth.

6) the weapon scroll wheel is a nice idea, but in a TERRIBLE place!!! off the right or left would be nice!!
(if those spots weren't already crowded by other mechanics)

7) the new health bar placement although not terrible was much more noticeable on the bottom of the screen, now this one is purely preference, and could be a possibly player controlled UI location?

8) I have many things I would have liked to see dealt with over the UI system, since SK's UI was so simple and straight forward. I feel the new UI complicates things and in fact hinders the player. OBVIOUSLY it doesn't take long to get used to the system and ignore all its redundancies, but I simply don't understand why they felt a need to change the UI which was previously a solid B+ in my book, (my grade for the new UI is an iffie C)

9) YOUR LIKES AND DISLIKES please share with me!!! (kindly so) I more then likly won't respond to everyone, but I do hope the DEV's read and take into consideration at the least the redundancies of the new UI.

P.S. they really bug me!!!! (so itchy)
