Setting up your UI

God. That hurts my brain.

Now if I had a vertical monitor and could have a 1440x1080 viewport with a bunch of black space above or below, I'd be ok with that. But the viewport on the side just mindfucks me.

I noticed you have a similar setup to me watching one of your videos last night.

I decided what I want is the least amount of time between me clicking something and then clicking something else.

I keep my buffs next to my spellbar & action window, so i can click them on and off and cast something else quickly with the spell bar right near it. Go from clicking myself, target to group member, all in one area etc.

I also use a lot of hotkeys, but even still there is a lot of clicking in this game. Swap out stuff from the bag I keep by my hot bar for easy click swapping etc.

I find the space in the bottom center to be the area where the mouse spends most of its life anyway while you play, so why not have all the buttons there! (notice it while you play, that mouse always down there for some reason) (I think its a reflex I have of just moving the mouse to the center of the screen when I game on PC so I can find it after I spaced out or something)

I actually like this idea a lot and might have to try it, although swapping back and forth between landscape and portrait is probably more of a pain than it's worth.

I think this is gonna more or less be my layout, I like to keep everything centered at the bottom. It's not like the most classic window arrangement, and uses 2 chat windows, but it gets the job done I think. I usually run with 1 chat window until I am guilded or it becomes too much of a pain later on.

I usually keep the bottom bags/inventory window up most of the time, but the top minimal mode is when I want a more streamlined view... im thinking swapping between the two is my own personal f10 roleplaying hack that im going to fullscreen to transparent mode [You must be logged in to view images.

If my monitor were 1440p id definitely try it. Alas, I'm just at 1080. Ill almost certainly stick with my 16:9 with windows clustered on the bottom of the screen.

I know but I like to keep them right in the mix those "oh shit!" click off buff moments are way easier when theyre right there next to your spells. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
