thats a good question really, my guess is it dont matter which way he is facing, thats really a flaw in this type of combat system

I'm sure most of those UI things will come in the near future with updates.

another UI downfall is targeting nearby mobs/toons, like eq2 using the TAB button to alternate. still haven't figured it out, or maybe i'm just slow.

thanks for teh tip on switching instances. once again, the UI is a bit screwy, and didn't even notice it

people are already working on custom UI's. and funcom plans on releasing a thing that you can use to design your own UI's.

There is one out (edit - custom UI not the tool) on the beta forums i know that, but im too lazy to find it.

And yea, there are a lot of little things that need to be tweaked that they dropped the ball on, but they are just that, little things.

I would guess within a month, most of the little problems should be ironed out and not be a problem anymore. The only thigns that worry me are balance issues in the upcoming levels =\

There are two custom UIs, one is on Cursed gaming and the other is in the AoC official forums general gameplay section (but that one sucks).

The game gets way better once you're outside of Tortage, though I'm only lvl 21 its still getting better.

Also I'll admit the UI grows on you once you've messed with it for awhile, I absolutely couldn't stand it at first.

are you seeing balance issues already? I know that on my 13 guardian i can gank 15-16lvl players, and about teh same for mobs. Been one-shot nuked dead a couple of times, but so far guardian is pretty sweet. Arrows from rangers don't do massive dmg like in eq2 (thank god). Was battling 3 toons last night, one being a ranger, and his arrows were doing very little damage. I still got ganked though, then spawn camped a bit. fun as all hell.

I think things will be more balanced when people are 80, last night I(level 18 dark templar) kileld a guardian and 2 rogues, all level 17 because I was just regenerating so much hp. So maybe there are some balance issues at low levels, but I hear it gets better.

I haven't yet no, even tho in a group with me (necro, ToS, DarkTemp) all around 22-24 we were taking 2-3 30-38's at a time

But we also had a plan and didn't just run in and go AHHH I KILL NUKE NUKE YAYY!

Anyway, Just worried about how its going to be around 60-80, but we'll know soon enough!

suprised to hear many dont like the ui. I think the ui is great, simple, to the point and does not intrude, and can be moved around, i dont know what else you want in an ui. it fit that atmosphere as well.
