Automaton? lol...most of these changes were requested by the players. No change is not always good but complaining about everything is never good, so kindly adapt.




Do I complain about everything? No, I do not - however, I do complain about things that appear counter-intuitive to myself and others (as witnessed by some of the responses in this thread), so kindly take your 'adapt or die' mantra somewhere else.

If you open your journal, and click the minimise button, it no longer goes to the bottom of the screen like it used to. It now disappeares and can only be accessed again by clicking on the button on the left hand bar. Mucho annoying


It's just a thing of convenience. If you hit the Journal button on the left the Journal will open. If you hit the button again it will not close but minimize the journal (the button will get shiny). If you hit the button once again it will pop up faster this time because its just maximizing the window.
If you ask me pretty neat to have only button instead of the hundreds of bars at the bottom.


It sucks i need to see the flashing in multiple chats (20-30 of them) for what I do... now my windows are all at the top & I occasionally accidentally minimalize them & have to redo them... BRING BACK THE MINIMALIZE TO BOTTOM PLEASE like as an option somehow?

My only problem with it is the difficulty of monitoring and restoring multiple chat windows.

Old way: you minimize a stack of chat windows, it becomes a little box at the bottom of the screen. If one of those chats is updated, the little box blinks and you know which one to click to see what was said.

New way: Every stack of chat windows disappears into the generic chat button, are not grouped by the stacking that you had, and you have to figure out which ones got updated. It's also not nearly as obvious that there was an update at all, as the button just tries to sparkle like a fake vampire instead of the easy, obvious BLINK BLINK BLINK of the old way.

New, shiny, and stupid is NOT better.


I can't believe I actually agree with Floppie on some issue... I actually gave his post a like too
