Guild Wars 2

Haven’t played much for the last month, and just did some crafting for the first time in ages. Not sure when they changed, but the new controls for changing how many of a given crafting component you create are very clunky. Do not like one bit, please bring back the old.

I’ve actually never played the original Guild Wars, but I do not like the fact that you can’t craft on the road. It is kind of an inconvenience to have to always find a “tailoring table” or whatever your craft is…

+1 on this, the new ones are horrible.

I can support this, as well. A simple box where we type the number with an up/down arrow.

I frequently type “mith”, “elder” and “rare” to ensure I only make what I want to. Still, typing in search bars may be good for Google and Windows Explorer, but when it’s necessary for crafting…

I hate the new quantity bar… its such a pain… It took me weeks to figure out that you had to hit enter after typing the numbers for it to even register.

I agree with the OP, Please bring back the old version of the crafting UI

Don’t like it!

Bad change. Bring back the old interface.

Was there something wrong with the original? Seems like a case of the good idea fairy fixing what’s not broken…

I agree with this change. Please bring back the original quantity options for crafting. It actually takes me longer now. =(

The old system could only let you input a number up to 999 possible crafting results at a time. I believe a number of people thought that number was too low, for some obscure reason.

I too dislike it, drag the mouse up.. oops over shoot, drag down, oops up one more.. down.. up.. press the craft button three times because it’s “faster” that the new drag the number up to three feature. Let me have my insert number here box to craft please! Not to mention it’s a bit tough with arthritic fingers!

I actually like the new control. Also, for those complaining that you can’t type a number in instead…you can.

Yeah, there was another thread with the same complaint. The new interface sucks, but no response from Anet.

I can’t even get this new control to work…

clicking the arrows do not work.. the little hand with the arrows doesn’t seem to do anything… I can’t enter anything manually…. trying to get this thing to work is just pissin me off…

I hate It!!!

You click the arrow icon then drag the mouse up or down. It’s just clunky, and not as precise as the arrows. It was fine before, click arrows for small precise amounts, type in the box for large amounts. It’s the drag part that is offputing.

Oh good grief, you can still type in the blasted numbers you want. I clicked on it one day and there was a courser in the box.

Yes and after you click outside of that box the number resets back to 1.

It’s like someone made the interface in Microsoft Access and just straight ported it into the game. It is buggy.

Yeah, once I typed in a number I didn’t expect to have to hit “enter” before it would take.

I just don’t get what was wrong with the old interface.

Don’t like the new design at all. Couldn’t even figure out how to get a specific number of things made until I read some of the posts above.
