i'm not sure about you guys but me and couple of my friends had problem with new graphics, such as casting of skill or Party window, it bugs our eyes
+ they are way too jazzy, i liked the old way, simple and good.
especially when in halls, it just annoying, mostly when healing. also

In [H] hero window, the titles Tab, color for the bars should be changed, that color looks kinda weird

what you guys think? or am i the only one?

I absolutely love the new look; and I'm a hard one to please when it comes to updating games and adding things.

Only complaint I have about the entire update so far is that my ranger's new look (new hair) got reverted back to the old one. I liked the new hair a lot. hehe

I like it. It is a change and all changes take time to get used to. I frankly was getting tired of the old one.

The text on the energy and health bar's dont look right atall. It needs to be changed back to what it was where it looked fine. Also the Faction and Title bars being pink/purple is un-necessary too.

The only thing I don't like about it is the faction bars and title bars being purplish (I hate purple),and the fact that a lot of people temperarily got their chararcters' hair and armor changed (I was one of them and it sucked untill it went back to normal). I like everything else.

I like the new look personally, although my friend who is colour blind is now struggling to tell which party member is selected on the party list. Other than that, it's a nice update.

hmmm yea... I preferred it simple. I usually prefer things simple. But it's nt just that, it could look good with the extra stuff, I just don't feel it was very well made. The gradient colors, especially in the casting bar, don't look exactly right, they are... I dunno, static. If they extended horizontally as the bar filled, it'd look better. I dunno if you get what I'm saying. The impression I had was that it was similar to some old snes game with sprite layers or something... hmm yea I guess no one will understand that now. anyway. But I'll get used to it.

I don't like the multi-colored skill chargeup bar, but I do like how it turns to a different color if the skill is completed. I think that this could've been accomplished by simply changing the color once it is done, versus being fancy and trying to create a rainbow/prism effect.

It would be nice if there was an option. Classic Interface vs. New One

i like the new interface. maybe its just on my computer, the the stuff is more precise and cleaner. and teh purple factiosn bar doesn't bother me much, mainly cause i don't spend very much time staring at it, why its a problem for some of you i don't know.

( some people come here to complain, wether or not they actaully have somethign to complain about )

That sums up how I feel about this. Function should be the first priority of any UI.
