Please, for the love of god, change the RPOS or if you dont want to, then
atleast offer us the option to enable to old look instead.

Whoever made the current one (nc2) has ripped you off big time. It is not
easy on the eye, takes up to much space, and is generally annoying.

The whole purpose of the RPOS is to display information, and that information
needs to be seen quick. The current RPOS works the other way around, the
RPOS takes up more space then there is information displayed. Whoever made
that has taken no lessons at all about the subject or has slept through them.

Please consult someone (interface designer) before making a new one, I
promise it will pay off.

/rant end

How do the rest of you experience the new RPOS?

I like the old RPOS better. Also, when I read the text in the new RPOS my eyes hurt.

I think the old one looks vile tbh, much prefer the new one.

That's funny, because I think the total opposite is true.

When it comes to the HUD, I'll take functionality over looks if given a choice.

no topic has the splitted the community more than the new rpos (except maybe the casting animations), one half loves it, the other one hates it (i like it) :p

I had been using the new rpos for 4 weeks without logging into retail.
I logged into retail to check on my clan and nearly vomited when I was the boxy, slow, annoying, nasty, old, manky HUD.

From the screenshots I have seen I thought it would take up too much space and really does not go with the 'neo' look. It is the type of rpos you would see in a medieval game.

Haha, sucks for them. I think for the sake of many people's sanity there should be an option:

[ ]:Neocron Classic RPOS

The job of a user interface with a high information density is display that information as clearly and intuitively as possible.

The new RPOS fails. Badly.

I wasn't moaning about the colours - that can be changed as you point out.

When I hit Tab to open my RPOS I want all the salient information clearly and concisely available at a glance.
That means having lots of the sub windows open.
With the current design it is just unuseable.


Edit: Xferred this post to other thread as well. Further comments will be there.
