Two short and easy questions about the expansion

[Epica]

1) Sound....updated? Are you adding music?

2) Chat windows.....adding more customizable ones? Maybe make them transparent and able to drag them anywhere on the screen?

1 - not sure

2 - not sure, although the new UI means there will be some sort of new chat interface.

1. probably not, but one can always hope

2. Hope not, the UI is fine the way it is

:) I asked the devs to put in a 10 line chat window. I got responses that ui things may change nicely for the xpack. maybe in a few weeks we'll get screens with a ui in them.

on #1 I'm not sure. On #2 I really dislike the transparent chat windows. Partially for me to see text well I need a high contrast between background and foreground colors so transparency doesn't work as I need to disable it. The issue then becomes every UI that I have seen use this feature wants to assume you have transparency on and you'll be able to see what is going on behind the chat window,

If they just added some more filters and a way to turn off auto-scrolling I'd be happy. Somehow doing two chat windows, one for regular chat and one for combat would be a good solution too.

Most games that have tranparant windows also allow you to change the color of the background (set it to a solid color). Would just be nice to hav a window for combat and one for chat :)

Yes they do, but from the ones I've palyed around with they tend to assume you'll have some level of transparency setup so you can see thigns underneath the chat window. I've had cases where I was being attacked by something under the chat window that I couldn't see because I had transparency pretty much turned off so I could make out the text.

I liked SWGs interface as far as transparency goes, it would be fairly transparent when in combat but if you went to type something it would become somewhat more opaque and readable.
