  • I prefer the skill emblems but that isn't even the problem - the lack of contrast is just...

    I'm sorry for being snarky, stoot, but I have absolutely no idea why this hasn't been addressed yet.

  • I agree. I can't tell the blue and green apart, the colours are barely there.

  • Very much in agreement here, the new skills page is still a massive step backwards from the old one.

  • I have to drag the skills page over to my super awesome monitor in order to be able to see the difference between things. I can' t imagine what it'd be like if I had issues with contrast in my vision.

  • Hmm — we did a round of changes about a month ago, but looking at it now I think maybe they never made it out. I believe it will be better in the future.

  • Stoot! That is fantastic :) Thanks so much :):)

  • Well, that is good news. It has definitely been a weak spot ever since the change.

  • Glad to hear, because from the perspective of my alt, who has so much left to learn, it's crazymaking. Very hard to see the skills wi lack of contrast.

  • I find the new skill page so so confusing. While using my alt who doesn't really have that many skills, I just felt lost. I couldn't tell what I need to start a skill or what I already have.

  • Things should be quite a bit better now!  Thanks for the feedback.

  • That's an understatement — nice work, Sprot!

  • I miss the old old skill tree, with pretty icons. This seems better though, than the old skill tree.

  • Agree w/ La Mariposa (can I sing to you?) the pretty icons were easier to find specific things.

    The darker background colors are far better than the lightly tinted tiles but the light gray letters still have a contrast problem. I wonder of the TS staff all have bright shiny big new HD monitors and it looks crisp and clear to them. *cleans laptop screen*

  • Dick York was way better than Dick Sargent.  What are you gonna do about that?!

  • I definitely liked the old skill tree better than I liked any of it's predecessors. It was nice and intuitive, you could see everything all at once, and it slightly resembled a periodic table (hehehe). Would love to see it back... But hey! The current page is better than the one before it!

    Edited for typos.

  • The only thing I don like is for some strange reason, it puts words on top of words

  • Ohhh.... the... the colors....

    I am soooo happy.... :D :D :D

    Thanks bunches and bunches!!

  • I...I-- I still miss the pretty icons...... all happy in their little skill tree. But it is good to have a see-it-all-at-once tree again. YAY!

    ETA: The new one is a bit easier to read, though, and really really convenient! Maybe I'm just being a nostalgic old fart or something. Anyway. It's cool. But I liked the old one. But I'll get over it. And it's cool.

  • Ah...I couldn't remember which site but found it! A good useful readable skill tree design.

  • I used to love seeing the cowhide AK skills in the tree. Can we have more cowhide things? Foxhide things? But please, no slothhide. I imagine it does reek.

  • Thanks, devs, this is much better and more readable! What we had was extremely hard to read. This is a huge improvement.

    But I still miss the older skill tree, with the skill icons and the look of a periodic table. I don't know why you ever changed that. *sigh*

  • It's a fair point that it's less interesting, less immediately informative, and less Glitchy than the original one with the pretty icons.

    But it's so much better than the previous one, we should count our chickens in a barrel.  Or whatever.
