The introduction of World of Wacraft Dragonflight noticed a complete slew of adjustments to the MMORPG‘s UI. Whereas the brand new grid-based system made it a lot simpler to lock your hotbars into the proper place, the selection to grayscale the micro menu (the one within the backside proper) didn’t show notably widespread. Blizzard has heard the suggestions, although, and is including a splash of coloration in WoW patch 10.1.5.
Fractures in Time is headlined by a brand new spec for the draconic Dracthyr Evoker, in addition to a brand new megadungeon within the type of Daybreak of the Infinite. There are adjustments to Warlocks, there’s Dragonriding in Kalimdor, however, most significantly, there are adjustments to the UI. Bear with me.
Whereas I praised a whole lot of the newest growth’s content material in my WoW Dragonflight evaluate, one of many issues I in a short time grew to dislike was the change to the micro menu – the one situated within the backside proper. As soon as upon a time it was colourful and crowd pleasing, however in an try to modernize the menu Blizzard seeped the colour out of the icons, as a substitute turning them a murky gray-brown.
It at all times struck me as an odd selection, given the brown hue that a whole lot of the Dragon Isles zones have – with much more barren, bronze areas making up huge swathes of the WoW map. From an accessibility standpoint, the change appeared like extra of a step backward than the rest.
Fortunately, Blizzard has heard our suggestions and is including a splash of colourful life again into the micro menu. As noticed by one eagle-eyed fan, the brand new Dragonflight icons are nonetheless there, however the menu now has coloration once more. The golden ‘!’ is again, alongside the crimson ‘?,’ and truthfully, I’m so, so happy.
And I’m not the one one. “Hundreds of thousands. Hundreds of thousands occasions higher,” writes one participant, whereas one other feedback “that’s truly fairly good…” and I agree. I like the brand new Dragonflight icons, and seeing them introduced again to life with a contemporary lick of paint.
Whereas it’s a minor function, the UI adjustments did put some gamers off of taking part in the newest growth, so if this adjustment is true up your alley, be sure you take a look at our WoW Dragonflight tier listing that will help you create a brand new most important. We even have a listing of the most effective WoW addons, that are an absolute must-have.
