Interface Wishes

 

What are some of the things you hope to see in the Vanguard Interface?

Personally, the EQ2 interface is wonderful. The Widescreen letterbox feature makes it feel more real and cinematic. ThorUI of eq2interface.com is wonderful, and I would love to see something as similiar to EQ2 and ThorUI (for EQ2) for V:SoH. It would be my perfect UI.

Hoping for very useable pieces/parts UI's .

I haven't made any, and hope to see a tool for their creation when you all get more of this together.

Just registered and wanted to say hi :)

While I sincerely hope that Vanguard will not allow as much addons as WoW did, I would love to see a little addon called TellTrack (http://www.curse-gaming.com/mod.html?addid=102)
Makes chatting much more compfortable - especially if you talk to a lot of people at once.Plus you don't miss any /tells if you're AFK for some minutes.

Took the words out of my mouth with that telltrack. Not quite sure how it is going to work in VSoH but an ad-on that some of EQ UIs had was to change the XP bar or just put a % by the XP bar. Was easier for me to tell how much XP I was getting rather then" oh about a tick a kill" I could say somthing along the lines of "about 1% every 2 kills"

One of the things that I loved in EQ and miss desperately in WoW was the "view port". Similar to the "letter box" that is seen in EQ2, but it was possible to have it go all the way around the viewable area, not just across the top and bottom. I love having a full screen of game graphics, but I'd rather shrink (not crop) that viewable area somewhat, so that nothing gets hidden behind UI elements. I'm really hoping that Vanguard will have something like this available.

I liked how we had in eqlive that there were some UIs made for just a single class.

For example a rogue UI would have the rogue epic as the cursor, and thats really the only thing i can remember from that UI.

But, try making some UIs that go for each class.

/afk reply with information you can type into it is very important to me as well. Also use the /reputation mod a lot in WoW, it might come in real handy with diplomacy in Vanguard.

I enjoyed the basic UI of EQ, and people making custom looks for it, so making the UI customizable that way would make me happy.

EQ2 has a decent interface but things could be better.

I remember in UO you could make the actual game resolution lower than the computer resolution so that there was a black border that didnt cut out the game. I like having that area so I could put extra stuff (quickbar, or bags) so that i could have a clear screen so i can see the game without any interfaces covering up the environment.
