This is my solution, would YOU prefer it?

 

 

 

Really quick mock up in paint, took me less than 40 seconds, if someone wants to jazz it up so it looks more official then by all means go ahead.

 

 

 

So basically like Achievement diary's and the early magic/prayer.

 

 

 

I support.

Yep Good Stuff, Post it in my Rant :P, Pl0x

Yeah this looks pretty good, but com'on if the graphics people at Jagex can make fire breathing dragons look half decent then surely they can fit all the skill icons onto one non-scrolling interface.

I'd rather squeeze them in to one pic. :?

I asked Jagex that, they said they won't shrink the blocks their in, or the skill icons.

It still has to be readable, working with the smallest lettersize just to fit in into one non-scrolling interface would be even worse.

I still think this one is the best idea so far:

 

 

 

 

It's easily readable and fits everything onto 1 page. Although i like your idea too 3 hit. I'm surprised they didn't learn from the old spell book that people don't like scrolling interfaces.

No, because then Jagex would have to re-design AGAIN when their next skill comes out, it's just giving them more work, why not just get it right first time rather than re-doing it again and again.

Agree, Have you sent this into Jagex Yet?

*points to Suggestion forum*

 

 

 

Nice idea, i support

But don't expect any new skills in a long time though.

i think they should make it like 3hit made it

Honestly? I like this one less than the scroll bar.

 

 

 

It's a shame that jagex are being so fussy about not changing the size or any of the icons, as it's wouldn't be hard to create more space if they did.

they should make it p2p skills for itselfs, and f2p skills for itselfs. then someday they have to make some p2p skills f2p :) :) :)

I like the one without any scroll bar or seperations best, but yours is second, anything better than jagex one lol

I quite like it. Its strange how they went for a scrolling one after all the effort of changing magic.

 

Personally I'd prefer hits in the top left as its always seemed easier to look at from a gland.

Maybe in this order:

 

Attack______Hitpoints__Prayer

 

Strength____Ranged___Summoning

 

Defence____Magic

 

 

 

Combat Level

 

 

 

For arrangements sake.

 

 

 

But yea I like your idea and I hope Jagex uses it.

Eww, I think I dislike this more than the scroll. To be honest, they're both pretty bad. But scroll doesn't really bother me too much anyway.

I don't really care about the actual scroll (magic scrolling was annoying because you needed it quick. Skills not so much now) but I do care about the skills order

 

I'd prefer to have (if 3 per row)

 

Hitpoints - Prayer - Summoning (Because these apply to all formulas for combat level)

 

Attack - Strength - Defence

 

Magic - Ranged - Farming

 

Mining - Smithing - Crafting

 

Fishing - Cooking - Firemaking

 

Woodcutting - Agility - Herblore

 

Construction - Hunter - Thieving

 

I think I got them all lol

I like your idea. However, I don't really have any problems at the moment because I don't really need to scroll down to see/check Construction, Hunter and Summoning since I've never been a member.

Nobody likes scrolling, but I'm not sure that tabbing would make it any easier. This is quite a puzzle: How do you contain something that is always increasing in size? This is going to be something that will need to be seriously addressed.

 

 

 

I don't think that shrinking the 'skillblocks' would solve the problem in the long term either, we won't be able to read them in the end.

 

 

 

Argh... this is a sticky situation Jagex has got themselves into.

Seriously, what's so terrible about having a scrollbar?

I totally agree to.

3_Hit_U and Kemikalkadet, I support both of your ideas as to how the skills pane should be re-done. Anything to get away from another miserable scroll bar in a bad place.

 

 

 

(Even though I still wish that the magic thing had its' scroll bar... don't know why, but that worked better for me... :-k ...)

When it comes to stats, people don't like scrolling when they're trying to read fast and weigh several things at once. (I know this from experience.) ... The only exception, in my opinion, was the magic spellbook page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Side note for all: Jagex should make a quest that will allow players to swap books at will without traveling to special places afterward. (Just my opinion.)
