Current UI is a mobile UI (For example we cannot drag and drop) and Ncsoft has said on a previous live broadcast that they are working on a PC UI. That was, however, several months ago and the PC UI has yet to see the light of day.

Giving us a PC UI will create a much more immersive feeling that all mmorpgs will be having and it'll also be much more practical to use.

Fine i ask here then ...
What is definition of PC UI?
You can drag And drop.
You can rescale your UI.
You can customize it however you want to be clean as possible.
You can hide stuff you dont want to see (as tutorial Windows, Wings etc)

What is more PC UI that Is it Now? I am not trying to argue or hate, just "what Is PC UI"?

PC and mobile game UIs are different mainly because of screen size and controls.

PC UIs are made for mouse and keyboard, so they can have smaller buttons, more menus, more information on screen, hotkeys, drag-and-drop systems, and overall more complex layouts. Since players usually sit longer at a PC, the UI focuses more on efficiency and giving access to a lot of features at once.

Mobile UIs are designed for touch controls and smaller screens, so everything has to be bigger, cleaner, and easier to tap. Mobile games usually simplify menus, reduce clutter, and keep only the most important things visible during gameplay. They also focus more on quick access and short play sessions.

Basically:

PC UI = more detailed and information-heavy
Mobile UI = simpler, cleaner, and touch-friendly

The given example is valid, drag and drop works but only inside the inventory. What else?

i dont want full modifiable UI since im an OCD freak but there 2 things would help

  1. sharable UI preset so I dont have to change UI for every characters
  2. list of UI elements, there are many windows that are hidden behind other windows. If i need to target specific windows to move, i just pick them on the list instead of moving all windows that are above
  3. better cool down tracker UI:
  • Its hard to identify which skills are on cd bc time counter hide the skill icon
  • use circle cd overlay instead of deplete cd overlay, its so hard to see if the skill is cd or not
