Single Chat Box

Can we change it back to separated chat boxes for damage and chat again, or allow the option in preferences x.x

I second that.. I only have one mouse cursor, and there isnt a hotkey to switch between the tabs.

really?..i love it the way it is
though i might be the only one...

as for the hotkeys i would have all the armor and jetpack as one: if the person doesn't have a piece of the the armor like the chest plate or JP it would only equip whatever you have at the moment..and of course if you would like to change the JP or a certain item piece you can do so, **who-ray for more hotkey space**

The reason it's no good for me is because as I'm fighting there's damage flying up the chat box and if someone is asking questions or talking to me, I won't see it.. if I scroll up later it's no longer there. I realize this is the way old EA used to be but I really liked the Gold separate chat boxes myself, I don't mind the jetpack tweak quite as much I just feel a little more crippled but that's fine.

Id rather have the chatbox bigger, and a option for chat text size. I like the only one box, but it needs to be bigger

I personally like everything. how it is 1 box and how the jetpacks are now. it makes the game a little funner (for me atleast)

And you just need to look at the chat box more. I barely look at the mob i am fighting. my eyes are 40% of the time on the chat box.

hmm. I really enjoyed the designs that people were creating for the ideal interface contest when the interface had like 2 chatboxes. it seemed like it would be much easier. I did not enjoy switching tabs, but when they are together, its hard to keep up with conversations, like Victor said.
uhh. does anyone know when the winners will be chosen for that contest anyways?

i like the 1 chat box so i dont have to switch back and forth. but instead of them combining it why didnt they just add another text box for combat separate from the chat while they were already working with it..

I'd like to hear some word on the status of the UI contest. I hate this current UI. Although I didn't like separate chat/combat boxes, merging them didn't accomplish anything worthwhile IMO, a waste of time and effort that could have been better spent on other things. I have to question the thinking behind this.

It should have been left as it was until a decision was made to implement the UI the majority of players want.

Or they could just change it back to the way it was in alpha so that everyone could use their own UI.

2 chat boxes are better, the only thing missing is a way to do a quick switch between it like a hotkey

Another thing that might be good for this,especially for newer people might be...like when lets say you are going to trendor and on the chat box it says..you have entered a protected area...instead of that have it say...you have entered Trendor (protected) area... or another one might say...you have entered Sial (not protected) area... that way people can get to know where they are without actually having to look for a map.
