Waiting with baited breath.

I see you still haven't gotten rid of the completely worthless picture
And the annoying weapon scroll
And the disorienting screenshake.

Now now don't jump to conclusions there bedtimebear. Only [cogs] do that

You know what, nevermind bros, it's not worth it. I guess I lose this time as it seems the majority is actually fine/happy with it. Every update has had some players leaving for specific reasons. I thought many if not all of the updates were very reasonable.

I guess it's my turn now. It really sucks as I know exactly why no healthbars as a standard was a good thing gameplay wise. No boss fight is gonna be just as intense anymore. My time was divided between monster hunter 3ultimate(which i bought just recently) and this. I guess having more time for other games is a +

Bye everyone, and I apologies bedtimebear. Perhaps you're right. Enjoy the game

I had. Glad the option is there for those who wanna use it.

Do Gremlin Thwackers exist in Firestorm Citadel?

baited breath.

I will find you.

And I will poo-poo on your pasta.

Nick, can you clarify exactly what the issue was when you said "- Fixed some issues with gremlin thwacker hammer attacks in the Firestorm Citadel." and what exactly you fixed there. Because we really have no idea.

I understand Djawed completly. You are not alone in this one ;)

It's a small thing, yes, you can turn it off, yes. But it's not about that. Game was designed without them for a reason, with this small little thingy, they completly destroyed the soul of the game. Yes. They did. Not to mention 100 other things in latest update, which are, I say again, almost all of them, pure crap.

Im not gonna go into why not, beacuse honestly, I don't care anymore. Discuss all you want, suggest all you want, this game is already lost. No update can ever save it again. Nice job. I bow to you OOO, I guess there is company that is worse than EA.

They patched, patched, patched the game until it became Hello Kitty. Im done with.

Finaly, some more time for my other games! Yaaaay!

It might be on the other path you know, but even though I've begged every party I've ever been with on FSC, I've never had the chance.

As with the other stuff, I know I sinking down low, but I agree with Daemiax.

The issue of the health bars is that for me, I gun and take down enemies slowly, healthbars make the game seem like a long drag, or in you're tier 2 and you happened to die at the start of the jelly king boss, you might say that we're close and that you could do it, and it's possible, but then someone with healthbars on goes and says that oh, the healthbar has hardly gone down we really suck at this, I quit, and then everyone but you quits the run, stupid stupid people, that was the soul of the game, the spirit of the players. Look developers, you've mutilated the soul of the game in several different ways, you've completely shredded the body of the game so it's unusable, what's next

So can we expect corrections to be made to the UI, as well as aesthetic improvement? Or am I being too unrealistic?

There are already enemies from 5 monster families at FSC-undead,fiends,slimes,beasts and constructs.We need only gremlins...That means Acheron and GF will not be that useless at FSC 0_0

Update still stuck at 90%....

Restarted, back to 0% ... nah I'm now doing something useful, these updater instabilities have become unbearable...

Well, that puts it into perspective. I think I can see your point with the boss, although I found combat with bosses and some foes more enjoyable.

I hadn't realized I didn't feel like I was doing any impact until an enemy died or flinched until the Health bars were added. Now I can safely say I AM doing something against the bosses, and numbers aren't just flying everywhere trying to be useful. Snarbolax, while Tier 1, is the best example; there were times when I thought I wasn't actually doing any damage, despite the fact every time I hit it, there'd be numbers, and it would fall flat on the floor. In short, I found combat underwhelming on my side.

In hindsight, I was somewhat aggressive in my wording in my previous posts, and for that, I apologize.

Depending on what happens here, I'll be posting a "fully minimizable HUD" petition thread in the suggestions forums.

Stay tuned....

I have to ask, why would anyone use Thwack Hammer in FSC? It's a 1-star weapon, and I'd assume if people are doing an artificial challenge they'd go for the gold and use their Proto Sword. So I'm rather astonished anyone actually noticed that this was an issue.

I like a lot of things about the update: The more easily accessible birthday accessories, the completed mission thingy, and the monster health bars are nice; however, there are some things that are definitely making the game less fun to play.

1. I can't see my crowns or CE all the time and it's getting to be a major annoyance. Inventory takes a little while to load for me and I just liked glancing over to see what I had and what I could do. I've constantly discovered I had fewer mist than I last remembered or realized that I had no crowns on an alt while in AH and it's getting to be bothersome. I don't care what was intended by not having an option to constantly see the two things I pay the most attention to.

2. I keep missing alerts! I play with the sound off so I don't hear a little ding and barely notice the small orangeness alerting me of an invite or new mail. Perhaps making that entire section of the UI orange or yellow if it's hidden so I'll notice it easier?

I'm fairly content with the new UI, it'll take some getting used to but it's bearable. I'm still going to joke about how stun vials look like urine.

I don't see any changed/fixed stuff everything seems to be the same

Rahul-Ahl was talking about the Health bars, which allows players to prioritize targets. I don't see how your argument is relevant in this case.

Why I don't like the new UI:
(besides the fact it's not unique anymore)

1. Huge shield bar & avatar.
I don't need to see my avatar in the top left corner; I know how do I look like. It's useless and distracting.
Same goes for the unnecessarily large Shield health bar.

2. I can't see any of the important info
I can see all of the useless crap (avatar & shield health), but I cannot see the important stuff anymore.
I want to be able to constantly keep my eye on my energy and crowns AND I want to see a pop-up when someone send me trade req. or invite.

Forcing us to open our Arsenal everytime we want to check our CR or CE wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do. It's just insanely annoying.

3. "Annoying Clockwork UI"
Where to begin... The depth indicator is way too small.
We can't see the "waiting on elevator" indicator for our party members.
We can't move the vials/pills around in the, uh, "action bar".
We still see OUR OWN health as a set of tiny rectangles, but we see the party members' health as a single bar. I don't like that. It's ugly and away from SK's unique design.
Please, make it so we see the party members' health bar as tiny rectangles again.

Summary (TLDR):
Everything that isn't important is unnecessarily HUGE while everything we NEED or WANT to see is ridiculously small or takes aditional actions to appear.

@Late-night: that revive menu is the same as the old UI.

@Amanzi, the old UI's system of just adding another circle button in the top right (when in clockworks) was even worse. I would like an alert for when you're in haven or RR, though.

@Daemiax I agree with your first post, but I think I'm still waiting for a reaction from SK's corpse.

@Koffin-Kat I totally agree with you too even if that what was said on the previous update's thread.

@Sroell The danger indicator was very cool :3

& think about the UI of the poor LD players, even more for the "PRO" ones that I admired once and make me stay in the game !

I waited for a patch taking in account the player's opinion about the UI, then we got that update ...
Bringing the fans into thinking you will fix the UI problems everyone pointed out. Not cool !
But still no one in the staff talking yet about simply bringing the old UI back ?

Again this is a total downgrade for design AND gameplay!
It still got EVERYTHING to compare with the other Standard-F2P-Action-MMO.
Are they competing for the worst marketing against EA games ?

Koffin-Kat redacted your new politics :
"Everything that isn't important is unnecessarily HUGE while everything [they] NEED or WANT to see is ridiculously small"

This is so sad it is happening since the birthday of SK itself !
Easy to know that way it was a good game only for 2 years exactly :p

PS: I wasn't a fan of Blizzard before, then I took an update in the knee ... (D3 trial is great, & free too)
I don't know if I will be able to keep the great friends I made there if I quit but I'm still considering selling all my stuff by the end of the month.

I use only hot keys for pills so in new UI I can't move pills between 1234 slots, you can do it only if all of 4 slots is busy, if you have all 4 slots empty and you pick up just 1 pill you can't move it for example from 1 to 3 slot (in old UI it was worked). There are to much defects in new UI, how much we must wait for normal game play UI ?
