Hi there

With the latest update and some other recent additions the right side of the interface is getting a bit cluttered for my taste. Also, when my party members have heros banners, buffs and ele powder timers on them stuff is coming in from the left too. I liked the interface customisation options in GW1 where I could put anything where i want it and even resize the elements individually. (I am playing on “large” interface size because I like a bigger minimap)

For long jumping puzzles a “mouse view” would be kind of usefull, especially with halloween and winters day JPs coming along. Might be me – but I like hotkeys that toggle stuff on/off more than pressing the right mouse button all the time. Same goes for CTRL which I have to press constantly in the sandstorm in dry top to find buried chests and stuff. (Why are ore nodes, chests etc. considered “enemies” for the “show” hotkey but are not affected by the permanent “show enemy names” option?)

I would like every option there is to also be hotkeyable – for toggle mode as well as while-key-is-pressed mode. (There might just be someone out there who might wish for a hotkey to mute ingame sound etc.)

Maybe even custom chat/damage colours?

Last thing – I would like the chat to remember which target channel I have selected in which tab. (I am still often talking in say chat rather than guild chat right after logging on because I am just too stupid to remember)

Oh, all this should be options so that people who like things the way they are can keep it that way.

Agreed, especially the part about showing the name plates of objects like buried chests in Dry Top constantly like player names. I already mentioned in another topic how much I miss that option because it causes me wrist pain to keep a key pressed to see the chests in a sandstorm.

And yeah, I’d also love a mouse view so that I don’t have to keep the mouse key pressed for jumping puzzles, especially for timed ones like the Clocktower and the Wintersday JP.

More options are always good (for me at least) .. so /sign

Oh and for the chat-channel .. please for all that is good let us keep our guild-chat
when we relog / switch characters.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
