Here's a difference I see with my customers:ġ. The search is worse now, and the Lindens still need to fix it. Viewer 1.0 I prized mainly for its view of *search* and the VERSION of search it went with. Can't really complain, although I was the last person to have my cold, dead hands pried loose from Viewer 1.0. But the UI as it is now in the SL bog standard view is fine, I use it heavily. They only care about whether the UI is "easier". It just shows you all kinds of problems with the structure and governance of the world. I don't think any third-party viewer should have this much of a market. I personally find it criminal that Firestorm overrides certain group rules set in the Second Life regular viewer. Today, they deny any connection to griefing and copybotting, yet it is in their DNA and we can't know if they "phone home." Then they reconstituted as Firestorm, after they set the leafs on fire with Emerald, then emerged from the ashes like Phoenix if you will. Then they came back as Phoenix - the same people, minus a few obvious griefers/copybotters. Few remember this history of some years ago. But that may not be as big a deal for you.įirestorm has a history of griefing, abuse, and privacy busting in their original incarnation, Emerald. Personally I like Firestorm best because it offers the most possible customization. So it comes down to a question of what works best for you.
But it seems that everyone's experience is individually computer based. So yes it makes things easier.Īs far as overall performance goes it can vary with Viewers. If I want to change my Draw Distance all I need to do is type a simple command in chat. There are preference settings I toggle depending on what I am doing that are right at my fingertips now. For example there is a quick preference option that you can customise. So it comes down to (in the long run) which Viewer makes SL easiest for you.įirestorm, though it had a small learning curve at first, has made my SL easier for me. Each Viewer has its own special features. Would Firestorm be easier?Įasier is a relative term. I'm trying to learn how the mesh bodies work and needless to say it's been an epic fail.
I'm wondering which viewer (if that's what it's called) is easier to use? I'm using SL and have used it for years but I see a lot mentioned about Firestorm and didn't know the difference. If you use the firestorm AO then one less hud on screen is a marginal advantage. But I think both UIs are fairly modifiable so you can clear away all the useless buttons you get preinstalled to make the most of the screen area for accessing huds, which is where most of the set up happens with mesh bodies. Firestorms quick preferences might be a slight advantage. I haven't used the Linden Lab viewer for so long I can't really advise on that. I am not sure Firestorm would be easier for using mesh bodies, it might be. Also the option of RLV is handy for my Sailors buddy hud because it saves me having to keep closing the world map each time I pass by a waypoint.įirestorm has a neat built in AO I would miss greatly now too.įor those reasons I haven't used the Linden viewer for about a year now, it just doesn't have the functionality I use when I am in world. I go sailing so I need to be able to see parcel boundaries on the minimap to avoid getting snarled up in ban lines and last time I checked that functionality was only avaialable in the third party viewers.
