Interface Ideas 

I decided to start this topic based off of Niobium's topic of "I want Energy bars!". Since it got buried, I thought I would start this one and broaden the topic a bit.

What interface changes would you like to see be made to GW?

RE: Interface Ideas 

Here are some for the other topic, I wanted to see.

I would like to see some minor interface changes, like double clicking / ctrl click a name in chat brings you to them. That would be heaven in my opinion, I don't know if its just me but I find it hard finding people in towns sometimes and for all I know there is some way to do this and I don't know it.

Also things like marking a point on your travel map then on the normal screen you would get a "quest arrow" in the minimap in maybe red or blue pointing you towards it. Also so others in your group could see where to go. Eg. Go get a powder keg from here.

Also, being able to CTRL click a drop so that others in your group can pick it up if your inventory is full or you just don't want it.

I have been thinking something very similar to this for a long time. I would like to be able to place a pushpin/tack on the map to mark important locations (i.e. a collector, quest, vendor, and so on).

RE: Interface Ideas 

Not really related to interface, but I'd like to see a change to the drop system. I want it so that if an item drops for you, it goes right into your inventory. This will solve alot of problems.

Interface Ideas, hmmmm....

I'd like to see a short-hand list of the hexes/conditions/enchantments on allies and foes. It would be difficult to put in, but if they do, it would be immensely helpful.

I would also want an Adrenaline bar. It would only be 1-10, but it would be nice.

RE: Interface Ideas 

Me, I'd like to be able to scroll over someones name in the party window and see all hexes and enchantments on them in a little window. Also a little ennergy bar below the health bars in the party window so the manks dont have to yell out their energy constantly. And when you open the other minimap with the U button it should show outposts and maybe enemies and npcs, or just NPCs, then you could scroll over the green dot and see who that NPC is.

RE: Interface Ideas 

I think the interface is pretty good for the most part but the point made about clicking a name and having it added to the chat box is nice. Or better still have it so you can right click and use a menu that adds to friends list, ignore, send PM, send order to... and so on.

What I find is missing is a in game clock and a timer that tells you how much longer a skill will be active. Maybe a little digital countdown under the skills or enchantments you have running.
