I love it! I'm having heaps of fun messing around with this and I can't wait for it to go Delta!

Just a few things I would like to see changed and improved upon:

- Currently, even in the live game but not so intensified, AWSD is annoying. I would like this feature removed or made a toggable option. It's frustrating trying to type in chat while your screen view is panning around everywhere.

- I would like the bank interface to be made resizable and mobile while it is open.

- I would like to see a lock option on all interfaces where things can be moved, just like the one we have on the ability bar, so that I don't accidentally change anything I have setup. This would include not being able to move an interface itself while the lock option is active.

- I would like the option to make which ever chat I choose my default chat. I would choose Clan Chat as my default chat so that when ever I hit enter I would be talking in that. If I wanted to use a different chat I would have to literally click on that interface to bypass the default 'without it changing my default'. I don't like it the way it is atm.

- The zoom feature is interesting enough but not really something I see myself using a great deal. Personally I would like to be able to zoom out a lot further. I don't mind my char looking small.

- Atm I am trying to figure out how to have my Familiar's interface open constantly. I don't know if it is even possible but I would like to have my Familiar's details interface on my hud all the time even if I don't have a familiar present. To me the familiar interface is not a secondary unimportant thing. Its is a major super important feature which I want on display constantly, particularly because of the timer.

That's all I have to say for now. I will be back to comment further as this Alpha progresses. :)

Edit - ok I found the Fam details interface by actually summoning one. This is great but I would like it to remain once I dismiss it.
That which makes us all the same is the fact that we are all different

Over all looks a great improvement.

A few things:
I didn't like the glowing stuff around the tab whenever a msg comes - would be good if could set whose msgs want that for.

I don't like the name 'My Hero'. It's not how i think of myself/my character. Just use my character name. I don't like 'My anything' really- its just so overdone on the web. I know its 'mine'.

Took a few moments to find the logout - maybe make it a bit more visible.

I found it easy to work out whats what etc even without looking at the BTS - so should be easy to adapt to.

What's more - I'd like to see each interface with a minimise option. I have customised my screen with all the interfaces which I think will be helpful during my gameplay but they are kind of clogging up my screen. I would like a way to be able to minimise the interfaces which are important but which I will not be using frequently.

I vision being able to minimise them so that only the brown movable title bar is showing and so that the whole interface being minimised collapses down to the top of the nearest interface below it or to the bottom or top of the screen. Something like that anyway.

And definitely work on allowing a greater zoom out. I am starting to get claustrophobic. :P

Ok I am heading back to regular RS but I will keep an eye on Alpha's progress daily and will be sure to check out any changes you make, test it and report back to you here.

Gratz again on a really good job well done, guys.

Hi Uncle Mars,

Sorry to hear you had some trouble accessing the alpha at the start. I'm glad to hear you've managed to log in and are enjoying trying out the new features. Thanks a lot for the feedback so far!

I've updated the news post with a little more detail on how to log in. Hopefully this'll help anyone who's having the same problem. :)

I really love the NIS system!!! One of the first thing that struck me as great though is the ability to zoom in so well on my character. I love the detail that is available to see now due to that!!! Also as well I have only played the NIS once so far but I love the ability to tweak and control the menu boxes and choose which ones you want to be where and to view. One thing that did bother me (and maybe I am missing something yet) is the fact that the chats seemed confusing my clan chat would blink even though I had it set on open world chat and some things I did not see even with all my chat options on. But overall I love it. The chat interface I think needs work or I am maybe missing something? Idk? But Let me play with it all a little more and I will have more feedback. This feedback is based on my FIRST experience with the NIS and overall I love it... So far so great! Like I said the zoom ability is really really fantastic!!!

Oh also some menu options seemed not movable or re-sizable. Maybe its a bug? Idk yet. But....Great job! Overall I see a BIG success here with this evolution. I will be playing and checking up on this NIS everyday! Kudos!
