UI improvements - Jev Update

(emjot) #1

I love the new UI, but:

  1. Friends currently playing the game (Also noted here: http://forums.dirtybomb.com/discussion/37589/some-concerns-over-the-update)

It was much easier to join server with your friend currently playing there having it on the main screen.

  1. New lobby layout
  • Scale is too small, it leaves empty space on player list, huge chat in lobby is also pointelss, as it’s only around 60 seconds to chat, we wont be able to fill it out anyway.
  • Removed notifications - why? I wanted to know my progress on missions being in lobby, now I have to leave the match to check them, because after match is finished, tab with performance doesn’t show new missions, but counter 00:00:00 instead.
  • Removed XP Bar

Like, “best skyhammer: 268 xp” wtf? There seriously isn’t any more relevant XP you could display there? Ammo packs given, airstrike kills, etc. I wish they’d give meaningful info rather than just “2000 something rhino xp”. Why not kills?

Not to mention the leaderboards in general. Same small font issue, and now they’re all grey and hard to see over the background.

You can post your opinions, I will try to update this post with more concerns, and will remove mine if majority find it unjustified.

SD needs to look at their priorities. There are numerous bug reports for example about the profile not counting kills that don’t seem to be getting any attention. The bug reporter in game doesn’t work. But time was spent creating a new ui, we didn’t need a new ui as the old one was perfectly fine. We don’t need a chat button as i’m sure we all use steam for that. New way to see what friends games are in is terrible. Small text all crammed into the bottom left corner YUK. Nothing showed in lobby anymore. why show credits but not level xp and progression of missions. Like why would you even think the slightest that was a good idea?

I agree with the 3rd one. I never understood the point in "best "
They should replace it with something more relevant such as (note: some of these might already be a thing, I just never saw them so please don’t hate me):

Best assault - most kills
Best fire support - most ammo given (amount of clips given shown)
Best sniper - most kills. This will be shown if the best assault is a sniper (Vassili Aimee Redeye) and it will show their headshot kills as well as total kills
Best Mercy - most teammates resurrec… revived

I think some merc-specific ones could help too. I mean like, spots with red eye, assists with aimee, healing with aura, EMP’d things as phantom, etc

I disagree with it. Because then we will get stupid things like “best Phantom - 3 deployables EMP’d” when nobody else even had Phantom in their squad.

Healing with Aura shouldn’t be a thing, just make it healing in general (I think it already exists).
Spotting with Redeye is also useless, just spotting in general is enough.
Assists with Aimee is useful but I don’t think it should appear there, just plain assists is fine (which is already in the game)
