New UI Options
I'd like to give some feedback because I am just hopping on New World again after the relaunch.

I like to see some *BASIC* UI features be added to NW:

1. The ability to scale the UI, it's huge by default, feels way to console-like...
2. Actual Ultrawide support for the HUD, I'm sure it had Ultrawide support before the update as well. Could be wrong.
3. Move UI elements around

I understand the relaunch was almost exclusively targeted to console players but there is still a large pop of PC players and these are must have options for successful MMO's in 2024.

Thank you.

Yes, the UI did support ultrawide on my 32:9 screen just fine before the update. Basically the side elements would just be all the way to their side and not sit practically in the middle of the screen as they do now.
Also you could just leave the chat window open and running. Now it collapses if you are not putting focus on it. Very annoying. But at least it is not in the way permanently like the quest journal. Mana bar position sucks on all screen sizes and consumables were fine where they were.

Most of these issues could be fixed by making the elements movable and scalable. I am sure even the handful of console players they have now would appreciate that.

The Ui for grouping up for a dungeon run gets in the way of certain other windows you need to click accept on...so you cant as its blocked.

And omg, please can i have to option to turn off event races. The pop up message takes up most of the middle part of the screen for me.

It's incredible how this has yet to be addressed, especially considering it was fine before the update. It's the only reason I'm not playing this game anymore.

reapplying after any new online session to minimize chat size has help me just a little bit to play music less distracted and no longer hampered with the levelup chat spam like during the beta.
made little sense to explore more alteration if the game will forget a lot of changes as the toon is completely logged out forcing you to get back to the charselect to net reset your daily settings adjustment very annoying.

luckily i was able to bind the arrow keys for movement again only need the WASD and space to play music.

just cant get used of the mana bar placed so badly with so much display place elsewhere available playing in 4k because of monitor.

The Chat and Quest List is the most annoying thing... I've had to hide the chat almost entirely and only have "local" unmuted and the questlog takes up SO much of the screen on a Ultrawide....

Serious, I know 16:9 is still the most popular but 32:9 is not as niche as it was like 6 years ago and this should be a PC BASIC feature by now.

This was brought up in the beta testing, too. The chat and quest log placement is something that could be fixed in minutes if we had access to those files. Who is steering this ship?

Need to be able to adjust opacity of individual elements, so hard to see past banners and names and plates.

I'd like to turn names off entirely with the exception of my target. T'would be nice... Maybe I should apply for a position on the team to knock some ♥♥♥♥ out.
