Ugly and impractical. Give us our beloved sidebar back! Made for MUCH better overview!
The whole UI for 2.0 is bad if you ask me, not a single new feature, just a lot more impractical and fiddly. Why have all the pop-ups when the base-window doesn't even refresh itself at all? Big FAIL.
Why destroy a UI that at least worked for something that doesn't give anything new or improved. Just a lot more work and CPU-utilization for the same functions that could fit into the same window with good visibility?
The whole UI for 2.0 is absolute shite if you ask me. Wonders and the new farming system, sure, Hades is another Red Herring, offering nothing of importance, but thats fine. The actual UI has nothing whatsoever to offer though.
You do understand that most people these days work on WIDE-screen computers? Stop putting stuff in the top bar and use the width of the de-facto standard 1366x768 which has replaced the old 1024x768 standard! And for people on netbooks and smartphones, which, face it, you have to adapt for since they make up a fairly large part of your customer-base, have even less vertical pixels while maintaining a decent horizontal.
Why the pop-up windows at all? It's not like you can see the map at the bottom at all anyway and it won't even refresh itself.
Another gripe that might just be the test-server is what has happened to the map, no overview, which is complete bogus that will drive every self-respecting player to use illegal scripts to get it back (just saying), and what, two-three real islands and then hours to get to the next island? WITH the extreme speed of the server... Am I to understand that in upcoming versions there will be a gap between every three islands that is impassable with colony ship? Or did I just start up in the middle of nowhere?
