OH boy, the new icons are bad

I like them, but that’s because I’ve never used any addons to change my UI. These new ones I do like because they’re so big and now very clearly different from each other, whereas before I had a hard time telling the difference between say the talent trees and dungeon finder because they looked so much alike. (I still have a hard time with the icons up and around the map in upper right of default ui because they’re so small.)

however I do very much agree that players who don’t care for the changes, should be able to have the option of how it appears for them. being able to customize at least the size and colors seem like basic choices to me.

Well if I recall there was a post saying blizz should aid it’s old people audience.

Maybe this is for the nearly blind geezer’s? Lol

What, you mean this isn’t a children’s game?

I feel so emasculated when I play this game now. My manhood so diminished by these buttons. Hair on my chest, gone. Facial hair nullified. Beverage of choice from IPA to cosmos. From splitting wood with my bare hands to crocheting. Woe is me, whatever will I do?

Idk, they just don’t look polished at all. They look out of place to me.

See to me where my eyesight is bad, the icons look better because I can see them compared to before and they are made in a way that’s easy to see.

Now having an option for grey or new would be ok incase some folks like the grey icons.

Micro menu is too big.

Action bar animations are obnoxious and going to give someone a seizure.

Why do I have some creepy weird gauntlet hand when I mouse over portals now?

Can we please have an option for old action bar animations and smaller micro menu?

If you’re talking about the micro menu icons there’s an addon to get the old, pre-Dragonflight icons back:

It does still work, I’ve been using it. Unfortunately, it’s still twice the size it used to be.

That is a bug, it’s listed in the “known issues” post:

Perhaps they are getting wow Console Ready in time

Oh, thanks! :dracthyr_heart:

Hopefully they fix it soon. Between the huge micro menu and the obnoxious action bar animations, I don’t even want to play.

Ah, so downloading the addon won’t fix the bloated size issue, then? :dracthyr_cry: That’s literally the worst part of it for me, as its size clips into one of my hotbars. Had to shrink just that one bar down, and now it feels too small, but there was nowhere else I could place the micromenu.

If it’s a bug like Amarlly said, I hope it gets fixed soon at least. I can play like this, but it’s annoying and the new icon animation crap is incredibly distracting in regular gameplay.

Bartender can be used to fix the size issue, but it’s a full action bar replacement as well so it might take a few minutes to get everything setup the way you like. I’ve been using it since Shadowlands to get the classic bar layout back.

You want it bigger? Go for it. Blow it upto 1/4 of your screen if you want, lol. I like it small and out of the way

For me i dont like it and dont need that massive blob of colour taking up screen space. As i said before i looks like somones vomited a pile of colour on the side of my screen

100%.

Microsoft will have WoW on gamepass and fully console UI / controls in time.

And WoW will have millions more playing it maybe. No guarantees.
