The new UI looks pretty good but feels like a barebone ElvUI. I need to play with it in order to see if I would keep ElvUI or not.
It would be great to have an option in WoW to export and import the talent trees as JSON files. So it would be easy to share builds in a guild.
Looks like $%^&, I hope they leave the old UI in as an option
About time.. :P
The 2 screenshots only show 2 action bars. If that is going to be a hard limit on the number of action bars that can be displayed, then this new system is not acceptable to me. Clicking a button to cycle through the whole set of action bars 2 at a time is a bad system, in my opinion.If the new system is customizable to allow the display of the maximum number of action bars, then it will probably be acceptable to me. Granted, I don't use the max number of bars (I use 6, with the bartender addon), but 2 on display is not nearly enough.
I am happy if I can switch off the Griffins with the UI itself, altough the LUA for this is this now:MainMenuBarArtFrame.RightEndCap:Hide()MainMenuBarArtFrame.LeftEndCap:Hide()And Buttons, I "need" a lot more buttons, in additions to the four ActionsBars now I have two ButtonForge Bars with 60 additional buttons.Hmm, looking at my UI, I could do with a lot less of the buttons I currently have if it would be possible to define pop-up buttons.Like how "Summon Demon" works, or the dungeon-portal buttons.Give me an UI button class that allows this and I would end up with a fraction of my current buttons, like one or maybe two for all the mounts.
Looks good to me, can't wait to use this new UI! Just hopping they improve the nameplates we got today! Really can't play with blizzards nameplates, it's just a mess :D Hard to see who you have in target, or who cast what spell etc.And wouldnt it be good if u could just drag one or multiple buff / debuffs u wanna track more from ur buff/debuff bar and place em where ever u want ont the screen? And be able to resize em to ur liking, and change icon to bar if ppl rather want that? That way u could skip alot of WA's.
I don't hate it but I really don't like those nameplates I use the default nameplates while the rest of my UI is addons and knowing it's going to change to that ugly green bar instead makes me hope they have a setting to change back to "classic" UI or maybe one of the addon makers will make a classic UI addon so I don't have to be forced to change my nameplate.
The fewer addons I need to install and maintain is a good thing. Excited for this.
9 expansions late. gj
There's something unsettling about the horizontal gradients on the nameplates and the level being so much less prominent. As someone who has always played with the default UI, some parts of the new UI shown seem "too clean" to me. A lot of people I play with use ElvUI and I'm always amazed at how bland their windows are. I love the character built into the default UI. I hope that they keep some semblance of the old character and don't just streamline the UI while removing every "unnecessary" detail.The customizability will be huge though.
Welcome to Wowhead comment section. Where no matter what Blizzard does people will either respond that it's !@#$, that no one will use it, that it's too little too late, or that it should have been like this from the beginning. Pick a card, any card. And you too can be part of the community that is never happy with anything but can't bring their addicted selves to quit, just like the people who like the game that they call shills and white knights.
This is going to break all of our existing addons so, so badly. Ugh. Launch week is going to be rough
Man, so many people talking about replacing elvui.You're not only using elvui for the action bars. It's got way more stuff in there - including dispels, specific buffs/debuffs, handling pets etc.Yeah, this is a step in the right direction (too little and too late, but whatever) but replacing elvui? I doubt it.That said, they're really killing retail with this nonsense. Shadowlands was the first xpack I didn't buy. It took two minutes of reading to understand that I won't be buying this xpack either.
I like that the standard UI is finally losing its anchors. Depending on how it turns out, I might go back to using it instead of Z-Perl!
