Enhancement level font?

Is there any way to return to pre I-17 nice, big, READABLE font for enhancement levels in the slotting screen?

The one used currently drove me nuts the first 5 minutes after I returned to the game after 3 months.

It's driving everyone nuts. Hopefully they'll turn their attention to it in a future patch.

Send your screenshots to Castle because he says they're readable on the dev's monitors.

Well, always wondered how to make screenshots on those screens. PrtScr isn't working...

As for devs saying it works for them... Well, I hope they can be convinced the problem is real.

When on that screen, press the print screen key, then open up MS Paint (or any other editor), and press control+v to paste the screen shot you took into it. TADA!

The trick to getting print screen to work on any screen other than the "the world" is to, as Kitsune points out, to paste it into a image editor (so paint, GIMP, etc) after hitting print screen.

Costume Editor

ID

Enhancement Screen

etc.

Maybe its just me, and while I noticed an obvious change in the font size. I actually prefer it the way it is now. Maybe its just me, but I think the small size makes it look a bit less cluttered or something, who knows. But, I definitely don't have problems reading it.

And I broke my glasses a few months back and have been half blind since.

Isn't that lovely.

Well, I envy ANYONE who considers 4*3 pixel numbers readable and aesthetically pleasing....

The font is readable for me - IF I put my face within 5 inches of my 19" LCD monitor, and then only partially. Some numbers are nearly indistinguishable without a lot of staring (9s & 0s, for example). That's at 1024x768@75hz, 1280x800@75hz, and at 1400x900@60Hz (my monitor's max and its native resolution & frequency). There is no visible difference in the readability, or lack thereof, of the fonts.

Based on what information, please?

As to facts: the enhancement screen changes are not good ones.

I suspect the changes are due to the upcoming Incarnate system. Possibly the necessity to allow for extra slots in each power which has resulted in the pre i17 slot spacing being changed and from there the enhancement level font being reduced.

Whether a Dev can read it at 2pm on a Tuesday doesn't interest me. Whether *I* can read it at midnight *easily* is important to me. I don't want to have to squint at my monitors. I'm running two relatively new Samsungs at 1680 x 1050, I've had an eye test recently, my monitors are clean and I find the numbers hard to read.

The changes were so that the Enhancement screen wouldn't be distorted when displayed on a Wide Screen display. There is no extra space on a 4:3 monitor. The only evidence it has anything to do with the Incarnate System is that they fixed a long-standing bug with it an issue earlier (even if it did result in a regression), which is pretty shaky reasoning.

Old enhancement screen on a widescreen monitor. Notice the distortion: circles are not circles, the title bar is mashed.


New enhancement screen on a widescreen (16:9) monitor. Circles are circles, title bar is not mashed. Extra room on the end is due to more pixels available but the same number of pixels being used as before.


New enhancement screen on a standard (4:3) monitor. Circles are circles, title bar is not mashed, and no extra space.

Stop with the ridiculous "more enhancement slot spaces!" theory already, I've pulled these images out at least a dozen times now.

Aggelakis, not everyone reads every post you make. If you get tired of posting the same thing time and time again then you can choose not to do so. Perhaps if you tire of answering the same questions repeatedly then I would suggest that the Player Questions Forum is not for you?

Kitsune Knight, as I said in my initial post, *I suspected* more slots were the reason. You've probably gathered that both my monitors are widescreen; so I cannot see the lack of extra spaces on a standard monitor. What I did see was a change on MY monitors which seemed to allow for extra slotting. Thank you for the explanation.

However, those screenshots actually confirm what I said; the numbers are more difficult to read now.

What are the resolutions on these monitors? The widescreen one has small but readable numbers, while the 4:3 numbers are unreadable.

I too doubt it will be fixed. The silence is extremely obvious.

I'd like it to be fixed. Or even mentioned on the known bugs list.

At the same time, there's tiny font on recipes font when at vendor.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):

I hate, hate, HATE the shrunken numbers. I've screwed up more than one respec due to their illegibility. I've bugged about it, posted about it; it seems to get no attention from the devs. As far as I know it's "working as desgined" PFEH.

Or, maybe, just maybe, the Devs are a bit preoccupied with a little thing called Going Rogue... or are all the Devs hiding from the boards due entirely to the Enhancements screen bug?

How to put this.

Golden Girl knows what she is talking about.

At least this time.
