There's a lot of us who haven't a clue how to modify a UI, which is kinda why I feel this stuff ought to be built in!
I tried to explain to
@Kyronix why I really don't want to play UO without Pinco's UI... mostly it's because the loot is just too overwhelming to look at. I look at it in the CC or in the default UI of the EC and it just is a jumble of crap with no meaning. I have ZERO desire to memorize what the "ranges" are for things... Like what is the cap for physical resist on a certain item... what is the Cap highest you can have for SDI, HCI, DCI ..... etc and on and on... I look at those items and it means nothing... without the ranges there how do you know if it's "good" or junk??? I don't.... so to me that alone makes Pinco's worth it...
As for say, I want to do MIBs... well in the EC without Pinco's I'd have to use some mapping program to put in all the coordinates and plot them so I could visualize where they all are and go fish them up... wherein Pinco's I open the MIB and it's automatically plotted for me on the map.... you can't get more convenient than that.
And looking at one page instead of 6 for pets is a vast improvement I won't do without... And again having the ranges and caps there really help to decide is this a good pet or isn't it? No other website to go have to go to and put in numbers it's all right there... That to me is what keeps me playing UO...
There are so many features in the EC with and without Pinco's that make it impossible for me to play the CC anymore... and the computer I had before this one just couldn't run the CC it was 5 steps pause, 5 steps pause... and that kept happening to the point I really wanted to just quit... and then I decided to give the EC one more go... took me a good month or so to really get the feel for it .... took me maybe another month or so to get the talking and keys down... and learn more complex macro's and such... but once I got things more figured out and really went over the "actions" menu with a fine tooth comb... I found I really could never return to playing the CC. And then some genius over there decided to overhaul the UI... They got Pinco to do it... and while I'm sure Pinco did a brilliant job I'm told that they pretty much gutted what he did... and then they installed it onto a VERY old version of the EC and reintroduced a bunch of old bugs they had fixed at one point making it really buggy, laggy and barely functional... it hasn't really ever recovered from that. But at the same time, I can't go back to the CC now... Just too much in the EC with Pinco's that I just wouldn't want to play UO anymore if I had to do without it.
