I'm more upset with how Enhancements are locked behind LVL 20. I know its minor, but it would be nice to be able to start enhancing our own gear or be able to use a mule right away to scroll/flame something from the legion shop. Everything else is somewhat fine and I am still getting accustomed to the new layout. Reading the new item infomation is hard as the number of scrolls isn't immediate.
A bad UI is one you need to get used to.
A good UI is one that is second nature.
I play so many different games, and within the first 5 minutes if I am fighting against the UI, I will quit that game and uninstall immediately.
And the opposite, a good UI I never think about because everything becomes natural to use... despite how wildly different and new everything feels and to look at and operates.
MapleStory for the longest time has had amazing UI design that you never once had to think about or question, but if the game had this new UI back in the day, the game would have never taken off and grew.
There is also the 3rd aspect here, Koreans and Westerners are very different audiences as well. So let's say Koreans actually like this new UI (which I doubt, but for the sake of argument we say they do), it doesn't mean the West will.
i would revert everything, but keep the double amount of inventory slots for the decoration tab, plus it seems like people don't like the new MVP system either so that should be reconsidered to what to do as well.
if you must do a new UI design, then do it as a conservative approach, and any changes to the UI do a more democratic approach and one thing at a time so that players can actually be happy with the changes.
This new UI looks even worse experiencing it than seeing screenshots.
Not to mention the MapleStory personality is completely stripped away and it just looks bland and generic.
The functionality of it is absolutely awful as well.
This is not good whatsoever, go back to the drawing board, as in just revert to what we had.
0/10, you can do a lot better and you have done a lot better...
