![]() Cloudrat is speaking about the personna window in game, where you see inventory and stats of your char. I just looked at it. At first I was afraid of the huge size of the thing, but then found out that we can hide/show the stats (and I'm pretty sure some moders will reduce the whole size for people with a very small screen). It's very clean, very intuitive, neat, ... I love it. Thanks a lot for this change ! |

![]() I posted under feedback for housing. 1) it's too big for small screens like laptops, so being able to reduce overall size would be good. 2) We need to be able to see our plat on equipment screen as well as on currency, used to be 1 click, now 2 clicks to see how much money we have. |

![]() Maybe I'm thinking crazy, but I thought that bags you had open in inventory remained open every time you zoned. I've been trying to keep open my bag with house items as I hop houses but it keeps closing and is driving me crazy. Would also be nice to be able to resize the window if possible. Thanks, it's going to take some getting used to but it does look pretty nice overall--love that all the houses display now! A suggestion on that--how about just having say, "Private Opera House" instead of "Siada's Private Opera House".. we already know what our names are. |

![]() Yep, it's great! Much less wasted space and it's nice having the option to choose which stats are shown. Add me to the list of people who aren't big on the coins being on currency tab only though. Having the option to resize would definitely be good too! As a whole though, a vast improvement! Thank you! |

But what if it lists your other toon's houses that are connected to your network of houses? Then it would need the name. Perhaps thats why it is listed that way. |

![]() I am NOT a fan of the new character window. First off, I would have to change my resolution to make the words big enough to read. Having buttons down both sides of the window is disconcerting. Not being able to see: my equipment, stats and coin when I hit C (which is the new button for your character since they put the new character window in ) means I have to dig through buttons to find what I want. No thank you. I want to see some things right away when I hit I or C or whatever the new key is for the character window. I found it counter-intuitive and bulky. To the point that I don't even want to log into test at the moment. I'm glad others like it, but personally, I hate it. I felt nothing was broken, so I have no idea why you think someone needed to fix it I understand they had to come up with some way to show the housing, but changing the whole window to do that seems like overkill.

![]() it okay to me, but please, PLEASE add "Crafter Dress window" just like appearances and main dress panel. by the way, someone else on other topic would like to see Character select window's background change for new scenery. i used to like starting screen when characters were on island, there were 2 changes and nothing new since EoF. New Tunarae were look good, but want to have my vampire in Mistmoor background with bats flying deep in back of screen, like to have Kunark, New Halas, SF, and DoV background settings. |

For some houses, the "Owned Name" and "Unowned Name" contain different bits of information. Either of them might be helpful for you to remember which house it is, so we show both. For example, some of the older houses say "Rothgar's 5 Room Mansion" for the owned name, but the unowned name is "4 Lucie Street". You might identify more quickly with the "5 Room Mansion" than with the street address, so we show both of them. |

![]() The only real change I'd like to see made to the new window is to still show your coin on the equipment window. |

I'd like this too. I don't care for having the coin currency all on it's own tab. Seems a bit pointless. Otherwise it seems pretty nice thus far. I'm on a lap top and it doesn't seem too huge. I would say that for some it might be good to allow for some resizing or at least the ability to change the size of the writing. |

![]() TBH I really don't like this. Not going to rage about how much it sucks, but can we please get an option to NOT use this? My custom persona window (which I really like /cries) won't work anymore. |

![]() Awesome change, looks like Vanguards character window, love it! (I think that was Vanguard, bah it was some MMO I played..) One major complaint though, the coin being on a window by itself isn't gonna work, it either needs to display all the time on that window, or have its own window like custom UIs already do.. |

![]() Having lived with this a while, I would like to add my voice to a few others: 1. Need coin visible at all times 2. Default closed stat wing 3. Default equipment window |

![]() Personally, I'd find coin less important if there was somewhere on the broker screen that indicated what your current cash balance was. Otherwise, yeah it should be part of the main character UI frame, viewable on all sub-windows. |

![]() I haven't been on test to see this "New and improved" character window. But as far as I'm concerned, NOTHING can improve on the old persona and inventory windows being separate windows. But I doubt that will ever go back to how it was, and they can't really make the current character window any worse... (Knocks on wood) so.. yay for improvement I guess.... |

![]() Major Complaints (nothing new here) 1. The little coin bubble at the bottom of the currency tab needs to be at the bottom of all tabs. Or at least, added to the Equipment tab. Not having it on the main page is a big problem 2. Default should be the equipment tab. Not the Options tab. Medium Complaints: 3. The left side takes up too much space. Not only is it twice as wide as it needs to be for the text it contains, the text is wider than it needs to be. My preference would be to replace the text with the icons we're already used to, which would be nice and narrow. 4. The right side requires scrolling up and down to see everything you might be interrested at a glance. 5. The window is not resizable. Make it resizable (left pane can be shrunk width wise, and the entire panel can be increased in height), and both #3 and #4 are no longer issues. Long Standing Irritant: 6. For the love of god, if you're revamping the window, at least make the Factions pulldown larger while you're in there. It contains 11 Factions. It's only large enough for 9. Every time you want to look at any DoV faction, it's Open window, grab pull down, scroll down 12 pixels because DoV is *just* off the bottom, and select it. Naturally, DoV and SF are the two that fall off the bottom and have to be scrolled to every time. |

If not make it larger at least reverse the order. Im sure most checks are for "newer" factions. |

![]() Speaking of VGSoH, why not add the equiptment setup they had where you have one equiptment window but have "clicky boxes" located in that tab that toggles between which set of equiptment is actually being worn. Adventure Crafting Harvesting Appearance

![]() I've implemented some changes based on feedback so far. - The currency was moved back to the Equipment/Appearance Tab. Unfortunately this required making the window slightly taller (20 pixels). - Reduced the width of the tab page on the left by about 20 pixels. We still have to leave some buffer in there for our international friends running in other languages. - Increased the height of the faction dropdown so that it'll display more entries without having to scroll. - Fixed a bug that was causing the window to default to Options. |
