Some Minor Interface Tweaks Today
Caelib
Looks like they tweaked up the interface a tad since the last big redesign ... nothing major. Run you client to see the changes.

I can't move the little windows around! Now how am I supposed to get a better look at that camp? 
Auh
It's torture! I liked being able to move around windows.

It's nice that they got rid of the little "curls" that were on the top of each of the boxes. That always bothered me just a little...

You can still hit 'Ctrl + Shift + H' to hide the interface. That will let you stare at the sexy camp fire all day long!

Very nice changes. Very clean looking. While I had my client opened I got a quick 69.5 mb downstream. Thanx for the heads up.

This is actually not quite as minor as you may think.
#1. The options menu has the same furled graphics look
#2. The music for the log-in screen has changed. It is now substantially longer and loops better.
#3. 66 builds of GW have been created since last week. The intro screen smells of "finished." I would suspect that much of the game will be the same upon the next BWE.

If they have to have it into sellers hands by the 26th so they can be reasonably expected to get it on the shelves by the 28th, how soon before they have to start pressing CDs?
Not that that really matters. With their streaming technology, they could press CD's with last October's client for release. It'll just get updated as needed. So they don't really need the "release version" ready before actual release day. Scary...

Usually it's about a two-week process to replicate, package, and distribute.

Anyone want to post some screenshots? I can't run the client until I get home.

Okay, so the login box is better, but the options one still has horns.
The MOTD box is gone?

Nice... I like to see them pay attention to the details... and so far I have liked all the tweeks... I only wish you could change the base color for the UI... If I could make it black or red that would be sick!

If you leave it open for a while, it starts cycling through all the music, or atleast most of it. I've even heard it play the music from Pre-seared ascalon.
William of Orange
Nothing too interesting, but they have added another little feature:
Just below where you type in your e-mail address, there is now a button which you can click that says "Remember My Address."
Like I said, nothing too exciting, but it's a minor tweak.

Yeah, I noticed that a second ago when I tried to sneak past the servers 
.
It looks very nice, too.

They also changed the close minimise and resize buttons in the upper right hand size, its very minor tho.

Well, there is still one (relatively minor) issue left that I would like to see fixed before release....if you change the interface size from Normal to another setting (Large, Larger, etc.), it does not 'stick': next client launch, it will be back to Normal.
If this just affects the login screen, well, OK. But this problem was also present in the game UI during the March BWE and it was kinda annoying to have to switch it back after every re-launch.
BTW, I am running at 1600x1200 resolution.

I changed it first time I played, from 868x1024(or whatever it is) to 1200x1600, and it stuck, plus all my graphics and details changes.
Garrett OneEye
No, no. The screen resolution setting 'sticks' just fine. But there is also a 're-sizing option' for UI text and graphics that goes hand-in-hand with screen resolution: the Interface Size. It is the Interface Size option that isn't saved for the Login screen (at the moment) and that wasn't saved for the in-game UI during the March BWE. Would be nice if that was fixed this BWE or fixed before launch.

They've now added a link to the Guild Wars Support page on the main login screen, and now when you try to log in to the game, you get the EULA screen. We're almost there now...

moving windows is cool but if you place them on the wall then they let in light or bugs.
Ander Deathblade
Why do I have to fill out my serial code again? we get to play with our preorders the 27th, no? *sigh* i'm gonna have to look for that..
Kaedar
Nice interface tweaks, really looking forward to see the final product.
TheSaint
I like the new UI much better... I only wish you could change the color (black or red)... wishful thinking I guess... lol

As we edge closer to the Early Access and release of the game, a couple more minor changes...
The main GW login screen has now removed any mention of the Beta Weekend Events, so say any last farewells to the little caption box which was in the lower left hand corner of the screen for most people.
Also, if you attempt to log in to your account now, you will be filled with false hope. It took me to the character selection screen straight away, and I was filled with the sudden thought that, "Hey!! Maybe I can log in!!" But it was not to be You get an error which says there is no event running right now.
Oh well, only 18 hours and 18 minutes to go until Early Access...
