The new craft window covers nearly the entire screen for me. I can’t see the status bar to see how long my current crafting activity is taking or if it’s done. Also, defaulting to the current xpac’s craftables and hiding the rest is quite inconvenient for me. Also also, the xp bar at the top is always solid blue, no matter if I’m actually maxed on the profession or not.
Anyone have a mod out yet that makes it like it was?
Well it’s big for a reason, because the right side will contain all your optional reagents, crafting stats and quality bar.
if you mouse over the big blue bar it should tell you your level - not sure why it doesnt do that by default, probably a layer issue.
open edit mode and move your cast bar underneath the profession window - annoying but an easy fix.
wait for mods to turn up that will let you scale those windows.
yes it’s WAY to big, I agree. I used to have the crafting window and AH open at the same time, now that is no longer possible. There is just a lot of useless blank space.
Also I find it annoying that I can’t see my entire list of craftable items, instead am forced to filter by expansion
I noticed in beta that they added a blue casting bar at the bottom of the profession window. I don’t know if it is specific only to DF patterns or if just not implemented yet on live. Something to look out for.
It’s not useless blank space, it’s made for new professions in DF. This is a DF prepatch.
Hopefully addons can make it better when they get to fully being updated. But in the mean time there really should be at least a scaling option to it like much of the new UI has. It is a little odd that scaling and being able to move the window while open weren’t things implemented in the default craft window. One or the other would have made a big difference.
Edit Also could add the craft casting bar into the UI itself which would also be nice
It’s on the bottom bar of the craft frame on beta. Not sure why it isn’t on live.
Totally agree here. I’m not sure what kind of mess we will need to keep an eye on in DF but in terms of UI/UX experience, it is extremely bad rn. It was really efficient to be able to look at what enchant mat I need and click it over to AH window. Now … very clunky UI design IMO.
It would be nice if blizz added a minimize button to the prof windows to shrink them down to the old layout so you can see them at the same time as the AH window
The windows is too big. It even blocks it’s own progress bar. Plus I want to be able to open it next to AH window.
Window is definitely too big. The extra space for the reagents/whatever is useless right now. I think they should have made the extra space it’s own window and make it so they could be moved around.
100%,
I miss being able to sit in the AH and craft at the same time, much slower to manage and I can no longer continue to throw in a couple flasks/potions at a time to sell as i craft. sucks for now but should be fixable soon.
you can have both but you need at least a 2560 wide resolution and have the UI scale down to 0.64, then they both fit. the wider your monitor, the less you have to lower the scale, but the UI seems to be overly large anyway.
The option to resize would be nice. I’m not blind and I have a big monitor as do others, so they can’t go assuming that people need it to take up their whole screen. It’s like when old people need massive icons on their phones haha - it should be more customisable for a better end-user experience.
Oh definitely, a collapsable pane would be nice. I was just telling them it’s not useless blank space.
I also noticed we can’t have AH and crafting screens open simultaneously anymore BIG RIP. Massive inconvenience. Please allow people do get the information they need quickly and move along.
ALSO the Class spec screen takes up the entire screen and not re-sizable - it looks pretty but the old screen layout worked well.
