User Interface Tweaks

[Cheatmeal]

Hi.

Now my memory is not what it used to be so I can't remember if we had side bars on Live or not but you can have two side bars on the Legends server. Is this something that could be implemented here? I understand that we have 3 bars with 6 pages to scroll between but me personally prefer to have buffs and other misc items off to the right hand side. This is something I have done since Everquest days and I miss it a lot on this server.

Also, I am completely umfamiliar with coding but is it possible to add an UI Scale slider of some sorts or the ability to alter specific UI elements like group windows, health bars etc? With a full 16 man group the screen gets crowded - As a non healer finding out you can just move the entire window off to the side and not see it is awesome but for the healers that's not really a valid option and sometimes you want to see the group to see what's going on.

Just spitballing a little here, not well thought out ideas really - Just things from the top of my head that I personally miss.

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to share this, and no worries at all, these are very reasonable thoughts.

Having the option for additional side bars or more flexible action bar placement is something many players are used to from other MMOs, and I understand why having buffs and misc abilities off to the side can feel more natural. While Evolve currently uses the 3 bars with multiple pages system, we can certainly pass along feedback about alternate layouts or additional bar options for consideration.

UI scaling and more granular control over specific UI elements is another good point, especially with larger group sizes. Screen real estate can get tight in 16 player content, and while some windows can be moved or hidden, that’s not always practical, particularly for healers who need constant visibility. Adjustments like scaling or resizing individual elements would be a meaningful quality of life improvement if feasible.

We’ll share this feedback with development so they can take a look at what might be possible within the existing UI framework. Thanks again for the suggestions and for taking the time to explain how you use your UI.
