Flight Time Bar. Make this Eyesore movable please!

Is there anyway to move this bar when you mount a Flyable ride? It completely covers the Mount and ruins the Look and Feel entirely. Please tell me there is some hotkey to press to move this thing with the mouse because as it is I was going to buy most of these mounts, however the Flight Bar completely destroys the immersion.

    If you press control+z in at any point in the game, on the mount or off, the entire UI is hidden. Pressing it again puts you in first-person. Pressing it a third time returns the UI.
  • This is your first time here isn't it? You're new?

    Your suggestion mr bad dental hygiene is not a "fix" for when the stupid bar is still there when on the ground.
    I have a wide screen 34' inch monitor with as much pushed to the sides of the screen as I can get. It's bad enough not having a toggle for the elite bar, but this is just like placing a "censored" label sideways on the mount in the middle of the screen and over your character.

    Why have such mounts with a constant flight bar when a simple icon on the mini map could turn blue to red depending on flight zone capability, and the bar just appears when you take to the air.
    This is a terrible UI design, that kills the aesthetics of the game.

    As I said being able to move this bar or changing it to a simple "good to go" icon on your mini map would have been supremely more elegant than this immersion breaking eye sore right over your mount and character.

    Look, that's the closest thing there is to getting rid of it. Otherwise there's no option.
    Don't be rude when I just offered you a helpful suggestion.

    Yeah the person gave you the best solution possible and you come back and be a dickhead? Hope it never gets fixed for you.
  • Don't be crazy with help. Your solution requires that you mount and hit alt z. Then when you need to get off, this wonderful thing called first person view, comes into play. You are zoomed right in then zoomed right out. Before your UI comes back up.

    This is NOT a solution. Currently I can run, mount, dismount, change mounts and keep going without breaking stride, or having to change my perspective to incredible heights of disorientation at the speed you are suggesting.

    Helpful suggestions would be to direct someone to a post where this has been discussed. I don't feel there are enough people yet actually using the flying mounts and posting on the forums to get an accurate picture of how terrible this is. Especially in no fly zones where there is no need for a huge bar across the screen and a change of UI that ruins your mount / dismount key binds to F1

    Have you actually tried using a flying mount? I have used all the horses and the lions and not one gives any satisfaction at riding a winged mount at all because of this.

    They look beautiful but your vision and immersion are totally destroyed with the current system.

    You currently Gain a flight icon buff when on a flying mount. Why can't that icon simply be there all the time you are on a flying mount but greyed/red when you cannot fly and are simply on the ground? If you take flight then the flight UI comes up.

    THAT is a simple solution.
  • I'm getting the idea responders to this thread haven't used a flying mount yet simply as a ground mount. Nor have curved widescreen monitors to get a totally different idea of what Tera can look like, as your screens are probably cluttered with bars and chat windows, because they are regular 1280 screens or less..

    Zooming in and out gives you motion sickness. It's not a solution.

    I don't have a fix but I have used a flying mount and I agree the bar is an annoyance. I wanted to move it to the top of my screen but it's impossible as far as I can tell. It would be nice if you could move it or hide it all together.

    If you have problems with the flight bar then don't use a flying mount. It doesn't bother me at all, so I don't see the need to fix it.
  • Yes the old "it doesn't bother me so it's not a problem"

    I guess floods, earthquakes and wars that kill thousands of people don't bother you either. Your little bubble of life must be like living in hello kitty land.

    Ok now THIS takes the cake. Even though in no flight zones you have a wonderful "No Flight Zone" Bar. Everytime you jump in a no fly Zone,

    There is Text right across your field of view that says....wait for it.... "No Flight Zone". Every. Time. You. Jump. :p

    This is BEYOND ridiculous. O.o I'm trying REALLY hard to make this work but for the Love of God, WHY hammer the fact that you can't fly, when on the ground. You may as well Turn the screen RED. Just in case we forget it's a no fly zone.

    I thought Cars were Slightly Immersive negative, because well many feel they don't fit the "type" of fantasy Tera is going for. These Flying mounts are Smashing that glass ceiling not because what they are, but because what they do to your interface.

    Is there any possible news on if the bar at the very LEAST can be moved it would be GREAT, because I'd like to seriously buy ALL the Flying mounts. I even budgeted for them and the EMP is there to buy them, however, thanks to the 7 day offers from some websites I've been able to test all these things out, and see the huge letdown these mounts are with their UI. I'd like to buy these mounts while on discount, so I can get them all. However at this rate, that's not likely to happen.

    Is there any possible feedback from EME? even a "not going to happen" would be great so I can stop pulling my hair out trying to find solutions :3


    PS: A few things for the Aetona's out there.
    Yes this is a first world problem. But hey I'm in the first world on a first world game forum. I recently spent several thousands on a brand new machine with twin 980Ti's in SLI with, 32 Gig Ram, 8 Core i7-5960x CPU with 20M internal cache, and a Dell Curved 34inch Widescreen U3415W Pi Monitor, with Tera Loaded onto the 512 GB SSDrive. It runs Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet, and the controllers are all Logitech, Mouse G9x, Keyboard G19 with LCD display, and G13 sideboard.
    It's top of the range. All bought to play Tera at a constant 80 FPS with everything turned up to full and even forcing some extra eye candy from the Nvidia Control Panel. So yeah this may seem small to some people but for me it's a huge Letdown. :3

    Did I say that just because it doesn't bother me, it doesn't bother other people? No, I didn't. Also, not really sure where you got that that stuff doesn't bother me. I'd have to be a heartless human being.

    As for the bar, they're never going to fix it. BHS hasn't changed it, so if they haven't, EME won't either.
  • Seeing the Update thread on what Spacecats has said IS going to be fixed, i can see "it's not going to happen" too. That doesn't invalidate anyone from making a thread about an an issue they themselves see. Nor does that make the issue "not a problem" at least one other person in this thread does see it as an eyesore, right now I'm not seeing hardly ANY flying mounts about, so many people may have come to the same conclusion. "it's just not worth it in its current state". Hell just fly up high enough in Velika and you can see just the roof textures and plain flat floor underneath them for a few blocks near the citadel.

    As usual something gets implemented and it's implemented badly. As a sidenote for weirdness sake the bar is actually hooked to the targeting reticle for some very strange reason. I just feel plenty upset when my favorite game, is so poorly, and strangely coded.

    try and see where I am coming from as a minimalistic UI point of view. Most people don't have the money for a large monitor so everything is jammed into the center of the screen. You just have to see enough Youtube videos to verify that. What's one more bar added to the mix?
