Buff Bar

Is there any way to get our buff bar to show more than 30 buffs? If anyone else tells me to just expand the window, I'm gunna reach through my monitor, across the internet, and poke you in the eye.

My buff window is big enough for at least 45 buffs, but it's never showed more than 30. I know there are more there because I see temporary buffs push permanent buffs off the bar sometimes.

no there its no way, its a UI cap limitation on the game, 30 icons maximum

GU39 will separate detrimental and beneficial spell effects into separate windows for 30 icons each, so you will be able to see some more buffs then.

It will also organize them by time remaining!!! Allowing you to see when short term effects expire.

that's much more interesting than a separation in detrimental and beneficial.
Tbh i dont see the whole point in separating the good from the bad, rather have a bar which shows 50 and organize em by time remaining.

Guess you've never had to cure detrimental effects???

Buff bar down, now for my hotbars where I can't tell worth a shit whether Frigid Gift has 5 seconds left on recast or none.

I'm glad to see there will also be some order to them. Right now, I cannot figure out a Rhyme nor reason for where a particular buff will be on that bar. At least on the bar for maintained buffs, things generally go on in the order you cast them.

So, do any 3rd party UIs handle the buff bar better? Frankly I'm just about fed up with SOE's default UI. The biggest reason I never switched it was because everytime you try to contact customer no-service, the first thing they tell you is that you is that its your UI's fault and you need to reload the default one. Even when i started specifically saying in the CnS ticket that I was still using the EQ2 Default UI.

OK, guess thats my vent for the day.

We can't change the order, sorry.
