Both the new icons look way less detailed than the old Gryphons. I really dislike this UI trend towards extreme simplification. The lack of detail all over makes the game look shoddier imo.
I really hope this update allows me to position the spell icons around my hero instead of at the bottom of the screen. It has always been annoying that I end up just looking at the action bar the whole fight instead of getting to actually watch my character fight. I need to be able to see when things are off cooldown or available so I know when to press the button.
Curiously enough, since ever, there has been an unused lion in the game files ready to be used as a decoration for the action bars. https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-textures/blob/live/MainMenuBar/UI-MainMenuBar-EndCap-Human.PNG
cool i guess. would rather see race options though
I guess the ui was die for an overhaul after this many years. But I think there's a lot more work to be done for it to be finished. Right now a lot of things don't Look like they belong to the same game. They looked more uniform in the past because the interface never really was changed. But now it feels like they doctor a different artstyle in every window. The wyverns not being attached is the least of their problems. The talent tree being too big on HD monitors and having no real design to it is worse. In the end I'll go back to dominos gnosis and shadowed unit frames and won't have to look at much of it. Because you can't modify things as good as with these addons, yet.
I'm not crazy about them. They just don't have the same charm as the old gryphons with their stark shading and lines.
This UI honest-to-god looks so bad. Floating circles, gradients, and no cohesion between elements. Looks like a mobile game when you tack on the minimap, bags, and micro bar.
How about uhm.. you know. A DRAGON! For people who don't even gaf about the horde or alliance anymore and just want to move forward? Seems like dragons are the future and I'm ok with that. Why don't you just go all the way and embrace.
So as Horde player I HAVE to use the wyvern? Baahh! Love the gryphons way more ...Looks like it will be the first time in a long time, that I hide those.
mmm, noice!
Can Masque change the button appearance on the base UI?
Default UI. Gross.
