UI things I would like to have

The UI so far looks pretty neat. I really like the raid ones.
Some things I would like to see.

1- Ability to place each individual button in any place I want. Not only the entire bar, but each individual button. Sometimes it helps to keep track of certain abilities. If there is no way to trigger a notification in your screen about an ability being off CD, I would like to have that ability in the middle of the screen. For example for a Stun, CC or maybe an important heal. It's easier to keep track of special abilities this way
2- Change the raid frame colors of specific users to whatever I want. Maybe by roles, or username, or class. Maybe I want red for healers, or pink for a friend or special decurser in the raid. Colors help, but we should be able to track individual roles/people specifically
3- on this note, the ability to move or duplicate specific raid members elsewhere. Maybe creating my own groups for tanks or people I wanna keep track of.

Same thought here.
I found the “group window” in particular very unfortunate. Freely scalable, each group member individually, also in form (square instead of bars) and displayed information as well as their type, for example class in text form instead of an icon would be quite pleasant.

In the stream it looked very confusing and uncomfortable with the 8-man group.

Yes! I would like full control of the UI, this also means how the information is displayed. Some people like seeing the class name or others.
I hope they read this.
Even if it makes it more complex, it's something we need, to display the info like we want it. As long as they allow it to share UI, it's gonna be awesome.

When you target someone and right click their name plate I would like the following things.

1. Follow the person (only if teamed)
2. See equipment
3. Invite to team
4. Invite to raid
4. Merge teams
5. Merge raids
6. Bio (RP thing)
7. Wisper
8. Kick from team and raid
9. Emotes

Great choice, specially "merge to raid". This way you don't need to drop groups to add new people like in Wow for example, everyone needs to drop and it's impossible.
It would also be great to have a list of "recent groups", so you can easily contact people you've grouped with. Sometimes in games you log out, they kick you and you cannot rejoin because you don't remember names.

I also expect that plates should be able to target enemies from ally target, specially for healers.

I do quite like to see the portraits of the toons or my own character displayed on the ui also helps to identify better this way when interacting with other npcs/players; (brace yourselves im going to put some examples😆)

party wise

selecting/targeting player

own character portrait
Obviously displaying the class as well near the portrait

map and mini map wise:
the pointer needs to be more noticeable like maybe purple with the camera trace indicator of an orange hue

party/or squad dots

contract/quests targets visible as well, story and pins

weather wise mini map when hovering the cursor over

mini map/map concerning pvp

battle marks showing when a large battle happening

party/team and squad/raid interface:

something that i did really like about the squad interface of gw2 is you could drag and place yourself in whichever party you wanted or whoever was the leader/shout caller or even the one chosen by the leader as lieutenant could drag and place anyone around and organize parties just as almost effortless as like that (a much easier system to manage parties in a squad compared to what is at the moment in place in aoc)

Targeting and interacting:

once again i'll have to mention gw2, they had these indicators icons hovering above the so target allied player as so enemy and on party/squad to help visualize them better this way (as of in case when there is many players around)

party/squad

ally/neutral

enemy/mob (this will do since when im in the middle of a battle there is not much time to take a prtscn)

another feature that i loved, »set personal target« or »call target«

these icons would show up above the head of the selected target when pressed the respective keybind, personal target as said so would only be visible for yourself, as of the call target could be visible by the party/squad or only yourself if not in one

(yes i know there are markers but there were also markers in gw2 and it was not the same thing...)

Interacting with other players as of right click over their portraits/health bar

Chat options/settings:
there was this option in gw2 where you could turn on/off the censorship PLEASE give us the option for free speech; in this regard throne and liberty was amazing, i like very much the look of it and all the options and settings it offers

From even animated emojis, to be able to have open pretty much all the chat tabs over the screen, to auto translate (even thought doesnt really work 100%...), to party invite/join link, to link almost anything, vivid colors, option to resize the letters size to the already existing option to make the background darker or transparent (whispers have a pinkish background/ party blueish and guild greenish, which i think its a nice touch to it).

Now something really important that i'm quite certain i wont be the only one craving for it

personal feud/hit list pretty pls
marked but only visible over the map when in certain proximity

CURSOR: I NEED AN OPTION TO RESIZE IT AND SOME VIVID COLORS TO PICK FROM (or gotta still use yolomouse 🙃) also i would like a different cursor as for when aoe ground placement skills that would be like a target symbol

BUILD SLOTS:

8 build/equipment templates/slots sets for gameplay diversity

KEYBIND SETS: an option on settings to make/create various keybind sets (gw2 had something like that)

A small but actually quite huge detail ~enemy aoe ground attack having a red or purple hue effect over it so one can distinguish from allied ones

There was also another feature that i loved in gw2, that you could communicate with party members/teammates/squad/raid by displaying an 'alert' ping on the mini map, literally doing what it says so alerting them of some sort of danger

some more examples about the features above

WE NEED the enemy aoe ground target radius to be distinctive from allied ones, otherwise we dont know which belongs to whom if they not set apart

You can do a work around for role colors. I changed tank to Blue, Cleric to green, and all other classes to Red in the class color settings. Then I set it to always use raid frames.

Not a perfect solution, but It may help if that is what you are looking for.

I would like to have a fix to the Combat Log, so you can finally filter out things from it. It's painful to read the log as a bard, as stuff like Pensive Melody keeps filling the log up with useless data. The current filters (the last time I checked) do NOT work.

An idea that just crossed my mind, when a dice roll happens would be nice have an actual dice rolling over the chat box (somewhat similar to bg3 dice roll, i love the animation).

Also there should be a timer in the options for how long the chat box stays on display while not interacting with it (after a short period of time (lets say 4 minutes) it closes by itself automatically, still displaying the chat just the box not present (hidden) and then immediately reappears when interacting with it again). [gw2 and tl had such]

Kallysha

Will there be an option to create, rename chat tabs or even delete?!
