fck how do i use warm wind now oh god

Well, it looks like some lucky testers don't get to use their skins anymore.

Maybe it just means adjusting the skill level on the fly with a wheel? Still seems sucky to take that out though. Same with mini-map magnification. Was it really a big exertion on a server to include it? I know I find it useful in complex maps to see the right path, like glast heim.

The "mouse wheel" on my laptop's touch pad is just a smaller segment with bars on it. It doesn't work like a mouse wheel should. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only case.

Awesome another skill bar O.O

If they're going to renew the interface, they could make things a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I mean, some of the bars could have a nice gradient, and perhaps a new window style (not like the Auction or Quest though (IMG:http://www.eathena.ws/board/style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) ).

Still, it'll be interesting to see this in play.

I personally don't like it that much. Some things are quite nice but all in all it seems Gravity is geared to WoW or any other random rpg.

Are you they serious? Removing battle mode is stupid. A lot of people have been using it since like forever and now they decide to remove it. Unless the new system is better, I'm not happy with this.

So how does this work? Its in perma-battle mode and to chat you hit enter?

What happened to the emoticons window?

Skill Level Adjustment removal...another stupid mistake.....

Their was a patch release on June 5th that added a emoticon LUD file and a client release. So im guessing its fixes to the new UI. It looks real nice from the shots ive seen on iRO Wiki. From what ive herd, the new keyboard shocrcuts for the skill bars...or something can be fully customized. ill be looking into it once the next patch and client release comes out.

The "new battlemode" isn't that bad. You can choose which keys to use for which shortcut. The image I posted before shows this option. By pressing enter the chat line appears where you can chat just like it has been before. If the line is empty and you press enter it disappears again.

So basically you are on "battle mode" all the time unless you press enter to talk. Since from what I observed in the previous screenshot, you can assign single letters/keys to be your shortbut.
