Retail has been seeing some new players and some veterans return for fresh start but immediatly die after a couple of days. I'm pretty sure that Rage has a healthier player base and the GMs and CM are definitely more active.
This is an issue that plagued Live for the longest time. This might be a small issue but it is super annoying for any player who has a 4k screen.
So the default UI at 120% size combines and hides some slots (Ex. slots 6 & 7 combine into 1)
Then if you were to minimize the game at anytime it...
Honestly, doesn't seem very viable. You would have to always worry about switching equips and you also have no defense. What kind of class are you going for?
