Comments: It was announced on Glab today that the old menu will end about a month after regular maintenance on Wednesday, April 24.

The old UI hasn't been updated in quite a while, and I can understand PA not wanting to go to the trouble of updating two UIs for updates.

However, it saddens me that I can no longer enjoy the benefits that the UI offered.

First of, it was nice that the UI launched in the center of the screen, so you didn't have to move the mouse down to the right/left every time to open elements of the UI, as is the case with the new UI.

Secondly, the UI had very nice icons that were also good at telling you which UI element you were going to open by looking at the icon. With the simple design of the new UI icons, I always struggled and had to read the description to figure out what the icon meant.

Suggestions: Introduce a third option to new UI window where the UI pops up not on the bottom right or left but in the center of the screen and has the icons of the old UI.

I've been trying to edit how it might look somehow:

The old menu wast the best! why always the newer UI are worse?? screw the new menu and let us keep the old one that looks so much better.

Personally I would prefer if they would let me use the old layout in the new menu.
Hate that I have to navigate through sub menus when it was directly visible in the old menu.

You can tell that even PA knows the new menu is unintuitive because they opted to put AoS and Boss Blitz icons at the top of the screen for ease of access - something they didn't have to do if it was on the old menu. I bet next they'll put an RBF one too after they get rid of the old menu.

I'm glad they are removing it.

Since they added new menu, most majority of the player base got used to the new one.

You can customised the top by placing the icons you use often.

You can use keybord to enter in the menu you want.

Only some players still want to live in the past, crying like old mans because it was "better before".

New menu is simply faster when you get used to it. I remember some dude I met that got used to it and legit told me new one was simply better.

Anyway good luck trying to save it, PA won't care.

Agree, with that left/right side and a lot of tabs. The new menu is super uncomfortable. 

I prefer the "new" menu. It saves everything I click the most often so I never have to search through any of those tabs, and even when I do theres a search bar so I just search for it and I find what I need immediately... 

The old menu was awful (to me). I hated it. Everytime they added (or removed) something from it, which at the time felt like a weekly thing, it would change the order around and I never would be able to find what I need. One day the icon for what I needed would be at the bottom corner, the next day it'd be all the way towards the middle. It was an absolute mess. The fact they kept it around as long as they did for the people who liked it was nice sure but it has been replaced for many years now....  I think 6 years?

Anyway, I'm not disagreeing with the idea of keeping some aspects of the old menu, just saying I personally never liked it and appreciated when they made the new UI menu.

I completely agree that we should have the ability to have the new menu closer to the center of the screen!

I think even having the menu pop up from the center top or center bottom would be viable.

For players play on a wider resolution, it's a much greater distance to reach the far edges most of the time.

and yes, while we do have the input shortcuts too, I'd prefer if those did not disable the inputs they're automatically assigned to.

If i'm opening a menu and I can see in the peripheral vision that I'm about to be attacked, trying to press my skill on my quickslot should let me cast the skill.

At least let me rebind the menu shortcuts or disable them entirely, because if i click search to look for what i need instead: my movement keys would be disabled too

The "new" menu offers many features that the old menu doesn't. I think those who are still using the old menu should give the new menu a chance as it aims to be more user friendly and functional with its design.
