What have we done to deserve this. What an amazing looking new UI for mobile, truly! It is looking very promising. We appreciate all your hard work you have put into creating this master piece, Developers.

Cannot wait to try the beta once it comes out. Keep up the good work! :D Ooh, shiny things!

This thread is for discussing the Forestry: Part Two - Community Consultation that you can find <a href="https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/mobile-ui-rework---overview--open-beta?oldschool=1" target="_blank">here</a>.


You need to edit the post Mod Sarnie, this discussion is about UI, you accidently said about forestry p2.

Also would love a reply on my post regarding leaves in the forestry p2 discussion thread, to know you have seen it and might discuss it? I don't know why nobody posts these days but I would expect more feedback. With it being on the first page I hope somebody in the team sees it and explains more in an actual discussion.


As for the new UI, I find it more accessible with tabs being able to be one side, its hard on a tablet currently, very much looking forward to these changes and further features. Keep up the good work.

Thanks,

GIM Ortz

Like the look of the new UI and it's features.

Couple of points;

The mini map has been difficult/impossible to zoom in and out reliably without hitting one extreme or the other repeatedly, could an improvement to this be included within this update?

Secondly, like the idea of the Popout Panel, on the "mini" mode could the slider on the right be replaced/have the option of just up and down buttons to flick between each skill rather than having to scroll up and down and a tiny scale?

Thanks for your work.

As an avid mobile user I can say that I have prayed for this and somehow missed the summit mentioning this. I use stylus or mouse and keyboard for mobile and I have had to stray away from mid to high level PVM because of the interface split being difficult for both those options.

My only suggestion would be for the display box to be available to be placed in between the selectors much like the classic layout. Left and right instead of top and bottom though. I think that would be much easier for people that do the same as me.

Cant say there are too many people dumb enough to connect bluetooth keyboard and mouse to their phone like I did but I'm almost positive there are atleast a few dozen of us weirdos out there.

Thank you Jagex for an amazing update.

Is there going to be a border outline for NPCs? One major improvement that could make high tier PVM better on mobile is to have an option for border outlines for bigger opponents. (This is the "Tag-All" function on Runelite.) Especially ones that you don't want to get caught underneath or within melee range. It definitely would have helped in the Hunlef fight that you guys debuted for the new UI. I noticed multiple times he ran under Hunlef. If a border function was added, this would mitigate a lot of mistakes such as this.

When OSRS mobile came out I was elated. The UI, whilst it was a little clunky in places, was brilliant for playing the game and kept the aesthetics. In many ways it was the perfect UI for a game titled Old School.

This new UI looks great and comes from a place of good intentions but I am very worried that it also comes from a place to push unpolled changes just because runelite offers them. This was the reason I quit the steam client and I don't want to also give up mobile because it's so handy being able to play wherever I am.

There are two main things I see with this new UI.
1. the visual change of the UI.
2. the mechanical change of the UI.
Whilst it feels quite scary to have to relearn the mechanics of the UI I think I could live with it however I am really concerned about the visual change of this new UI. As a comparison I feel that this new UI looks like the 2011 game frame with the modern resizable layout and the current mobile UI is like the 2007 game frame with the classic layout. You can play the game with both but one is significantly more old school and appropriate for the game. RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

Awesome work with this.

Is a vertical mode planned for the nearish future? That would be the best mobile update for me.

+1 for vertical support. I don't care if it looks funky or removes access to certain UI elements, one handed operation is far easier in vertical/portrait and horizontal/landscape just screams "I'm playing a game" which isn't always desirable.
