Project 1999 Management decided on forced UI long before this UI endeavour. This is not the place to complain about it.

The old marble UI would truthfully be mostly usable, but not at a range of resolutions. And the only way to make it truly classic would be for people to use view port possible.

Both of these have been discussed at length.
how is it not the place to discuss it when the thread is titled "feedback"

this is a pointless and irritating way to annoy the players.

the classic interface is much easier to achieve on blue server, without even trying.

Why even spend resources on something that will never port evenly to every single player's monitor.

we're everquest players. We all have a basic technical know-how and are going to customize our experience no matter what you do.

those are just facts.

It is not the place to discuss forced UI. We had absolutely ZERO to do with that. So complaining here is going nowhere. I have no control over that.

P1999 player base has not shown any particular knack for understanding anything technical in the past. Unzipping patch notes can be a hurdle for some. Expecting people to be able to setup a viewport and force a true classic UI is pretty much impossible.

I'm not complaining I am giving my feedback in a Feedback/Bugs/Discussion forum.

Being a Nazi does not make you right.

afaik there is something in place to prevent hacking it, its being worked on by top men. This is not specific to the UI but the same security feature that is being worked on will also prevent the UI from being edited too much.

As far as saying the UI is anything but classic that is incorrect, it is exactly 2 hotbutton images backgrounds, 1 scroll bar background, and 1 action window away from being 100% classic.

I saw this discussed a lot earlier in the thread, and didn't see an update:

A lot of us are playing in windowed mode. That is not classic, but it is what it is. One of the main issues I'm having, is that in windowed mode at higher resolutions, I completely lose my cursor. Also being in windowed mode (with 3 monitors), I'm shaking it all over the place to find it like 1000 pixels off screen.

I saw an initiative to make the cursor a bit bigger. In the mean time, is there a way to make it a higher contrast color, so I can find my poor cursor?

Thanks,

Truk

P.S. I'm very much enjoying the challenges of this UI. THANK GOD (Innoruk of course) for /viewport !

I was working on a larger one, I have it half done but due to IRL I am unable to work on UI for the next month or 2

But we are going to get the UI team together after a bit of R&R from the cruch we put on this version to do some QOL changes and updates but for now youll have to use the current cursor and just enjoy the knowledge that you are looking at 100% classic pixels ripped from the old clients <3

Thanks for update, and the effort and the time you and the UI team are donating to make this happen!

We may need a new youtube vid:
- Old: "Has anyone seen my corpse"
- New: "Has anyone seen my cursor"

lol I was hoping i could sneak an update with one in, but it needed custom art because a 1:1 increase was too big for a Windows cursor hah [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Personally I like the larger cursor because it "feels" more eq, cus the cursor looked bigger on those small ass monitors.

But, there are a few other elements that we have been dealing with this with, the gauges, and player/group windows, spell gems are larger etc... I think as we all play this current version, giving us this feedback is great, because we'll be able to do an update that gets all this stuff where the community really wants it! So thanks for the feedback and understanding!

Well can you spare some rations, cuz I sure need a drink,
I move so slow, I wish I had a horse,
It's night and I can't see,
danger in front of me,
Has anybody here seen my corpse?
