Although I've learned that in-your-face attitude is somehow considered not only acceptable, but "quirky" and overall beneficial for the game's management, I strongly agree that the font for skills and stats MUST be changed. Yes, it may be "cultural" (huh? cyrillic first language here) to see those unreadable first letters, say, at the start of a very long page of in-game lore or even some flavour texts you put into the skill description panel. But when you struggle to read every single word in the "stats" page... I realize these fonts, minimap and camera rotation issues, "hiccups" in the ingame music and ambience sounds -- those are all minor inconveniences, and "that's why you support custom clients", but those issues still should be addressed by developers, not proclaimed "a feature put there just 'cause it's silly". I don't know, do you guys even want the game to have a satisfied customers' community?

Who is agree, please support me, post there.

Font is very irritating especially on 1440p. I can feel my eye sight getting worse by the second.

I mean the end result is that if you don't do this Jorb/Loftar, the custom clients will. Same deal with non-persistent names above other peoples' heads

It really gets your hopes up for changes in the "important" stuff!


It's always nice to engage with people with a well developed sense of humor, who take the small things in life with the gravity they merit.

I would not be opposed to perhaps add an option to switch it, but I intend to keep it as a default setting. It is a more beautiful and, indeed, cultured, typeface, and I have no problems what so ever reading it. I have a problem reading all the Latin newfaggotry that is so ubiquitous in the modern era.

We support custom clients for a reason. Even though this particular stance of mine is, indeed, one of maintaining a principle for the sake of being silly, it is nevertheless the case that one size will never fit all in terms of how to best display and render information.


Maybe a tweaked version of that font would work? As it is it really is hard to read. These seem a little more legible:

What is wrong with Fraktur? It is easier to read than most other fonts.

Besides, all the ones you listed have no character about them. They were designed to be easily read; not enjoyed for what they represent.
