What are you smoking I have my UI set the way it was before. 4 long bottom bars and 2 on the side. What is wrong with people they are crying over nothing.
I like the new customizable U.I.
I tinkered around with it last night but honestly even Bartender4 isnât exactly the same as the good oleâ reliable âstockâ UI:
- the right-side action bar âoverlapsâ the mini-map at the top-right
- right-side action bar also âoverlapsâ the little quest tracker section
- dungeon/BG/LFR queue finder âgreen eyeballâ icon in the wrong place and not moveable
- giant/oversized top-right minimap STILL not editable or shrinkable
- ingame calendar and time buttons still âteenie tinyâ font size where you have to squint your eyes to see the buttons
- raid frames still scuffed/not as neatly laid-out or organized as before
- UI in general completely scuffed in epic BGs (specifically)⌠score or reinforcements count sections âoverlapâ other parts of the UI, boss frames scuffed/too tiny, boss frames out-of-place/in a weird spot on the screen, raid frames âoverlapâ other action bars or the chatbox, âLUAâ errors left and right, and so on
- etc etc
They just need to add a âstock UIâ toggle button so players can have the UI look exactly like it was before prepatch - itâs that simple

The only thing I can complain about with the new UI is the option to change the mini map shape that is it.

i agree its not perfect but its atleast close enough lol. i am happy you can move thigns and resize them for sure. but iâm a point and click player and i have a setup style i use for all my chars and having to split bars so u have a stack 3 high is not going to cut it lol. i also have ocd and really like having my certain set up style lol. top left is my interrupt then u go into cds and defensives below that u got my rotation in order from 1 across. my mounts and proff. and such go on my right two action bars vertically stacked. hard to line up and set that up with 6 across bars.
I donât want my old ui back
The new one is far superior
Elvui was so buggy I was so happy to unload it
Less bulky addons to keep up with
almost.
elvui still has a bunch of QoL things that trump the default ui
Man I canât believe half the comments here either they have to be trolling or ironically really stupid,
If you donât think itâs a new UI was better than the previous UI then youâre very stupid thereâs nothing complicated about it took minutes to set up, now does blizzard still have a lot of work to do to make it better yes they do.
However there are much better add-ons than the default UI , elvui for example thatâs also a lot of pre-built UI based on that add-on. And then thereâs a lot other add-ons to supplement the default UI.
I swear people just want to whine about something something so trivial as a freaking UI no wonder the devs doesnât want to listen to a bunch of cry babies
Of course it is going to be a major feature. That was a given. However, as stated before on another post, someone will recreate the classic design and put it up for grabs at some point.
I personally prefer Elvui, and it is the only thing that has kept me playing in prepatch. If I had to deal with losing my bar set up after saving it and having spent hours of effort arranging my bars, I would be pissed.

Oh my friend, youâll need a DeLorean that can hit 88mph to get back to those days.
Ever since they did the cutesy-cutesy job on the design of the Goblins in whatever expansion came before Shadowlands the âcharmâ has faded faster than a politicianâs promises after the election.
The artwork and look of all the iconography has cheapened in its appearance. Never more obviously than in this expansion, or pre-exp, or whatever you want to call it.
If we hadnât been playing it already and only logged in after being away from the game for a while, weâd swear it was a cheap east Asia knockoff called, Whirls of Warcraftiness

People asked for new models but we still had a whole expansion to toggle out of them.

I still prefer ElvUI. I donât feel like the new UI went far enough.
Check out the latest download at Tukui for ElvUI.
I was able to get a my ElvUI back exactly like it had been before prepatch. The only problem right now is flyouts (like portals for mages or poisons for rogues) donât work correctly on the bars.
However, you can open the flyout in your spellbook and drag the spell you want to an ElvUi bar and use it that way (example: the portal to Oribos works on the bar by itself, but you canât currently open the âportalsâ flyout if itâs on your bar).
Yeah it has been an issue for hunters as well. But generally havenât had any issues with it. Iâve been updating it on a daily basis.
Sucks.
youll get used to it like you all cried and hated what they did wit hthe last one.
then youll be on the forums âWOW BLIZZARD I REALLY LIKE IT NOWâ
I used Bartender which I donât need anymore thanks to this new UI. You can also replicate the old UI just fine, I really donât know what people are talking about.

Because when a game updates, sometimes thatâs what you have to do. Itâs always been that way. Something new comes along and you have to adapt to it.
An addon such asâŚElvUI?
Or were you referring to just the old styles, rather than the UI itself?
This. The old UI, while familiar, was abysmal for anything beyond the most basic play.
To clarify, it could serve well enough to DO things, but not to do them WELL.
For example, you could heal with the default raid/party frames, but it was terribly inefficient and required you to litter your bars with macros or, more often than not, newer players will click to target and then vanilla cast things, and often overlook their kits. Such a player CAN heal, but they are going to be SLOWER than someone using custom frames like Vuhdo.
Recent UI changes have closed that gap a bit, though it doesnât address the info overload issue of the default setup.
Custom frames are still going to be leagues better for healing, even if youâre REALLY good at using the default frames, simply because avoiding bar clutter and bar key bindings reduces the need to look, which naturally extends to better response time and more bandwidth for healer DPS.
Weak auras are phenomenal for pushing your game next level, and I donât know that the revamp offers something comparable (yet).
Where Iâm going with this is that, if youâre not really DOING anything in WoW, then yeah, the new UI is a little startling at first. But if you are, then chances are youâre using addons or have been using addons for much of this functionality anyway.
So why bother with a UI revamp? Because these are now NATIVE to WoWâs UI, which reduces memory footprint that addons incur more heavily as they have to wrap or interact with an exposed UI API, instead of the UI directly.
Opinion, a lot of people like new ui. Donât like donât play
