Do you prefer to switch back to the current classic Battle UI HUD in the menu section? The new Battle HUD UI is a fact on Android update 3.0 and from what I experienced after 30 battles is far from better than the old Classic UI.  |

2 things i like about the new HUD:
-bigger ability button
-target hit feedback
The rest are unnecessary, some complete trash (like battle log)

Oh no! Is my favorite game gone in a week? This last TS wouldn't run for me, but in all the previous ones with the new UI the target-lock and special ability buttons didn't work. Had to hit it several times to finally trigger and made the games unplayable. I'm so worried this isn't fixed since it's been there from the beginning.  Also, I doubt they'd offer the old UI as that would probably be too complicated to support. |

For me (in addition to what's been said already), I'm worried about the colors for the new UI (light blue, glowing red, and glowing green). To others it may be appealing but for me, it produces a lot of glare to my light-sensitive eyes. Not only is it making it very uncomfortable for me to simply look at the screen but it also makes it very difficult to identify what's really there (like the kill feed, bots in the distance, health bar, etc.) due to the lack of contrast between the UI and environment.

I personally like the new UI better but I also don't believe in forcing features down people's throats if they don't like it. So yeah I agree with having an options button for the UI.

Dredd77 and shaolinrogue can you please ask your contacts at Pixonic if there is a possibility to include this option in the future updates? Since I worked on games with C# and JavaScript in Unity 3D environment (War Robots is made in Unity) I don't believe it would be hard for them to include this. Also they can revamp the classic UI to use less traffic/resources like they did with the New Test Server UI.

To me, IF there gonna change it, Why not add something useful? Pilots have been Begging to see there own teams health, and I would like to see range of them as well, It really helps on small maps to know how far away my guys are from me to adjust tactics. The new IU may "look" cool to some people but its obvious from the comments that many feel its not a good layout compared to the current one. Lets hope they listen to players and dont just shove it through and force it on us like they have with new things that didnt work in the past.

This is an excellent idea, @jarvis. Thanks for suggesting it.
Maybe if we get really lucky, they'll also give us the option of showing/not showing player names. Would be awesome to actually be able to see bots, instead of jumbles of text.

Other... I don't know which I like more, but either way the option to change back would be nice.
The one thing I can remember not liking about the new one is the kill and beacon notifications. They are not noticeable down on the bottom... (unless that has changed since I played a TS that had it.)

I play on ipad, so the new ui is wayyyyyy more eye friendly than on iphone. I like the look of it, but if it kept the same color, it wouldnt be as cool. I like the new one, but i think if we could change it it would be nice.

This reminds me. I play on android exclusively and recently my controls sometimes randomly shift size. Sometimes it's the normal larger version that I've always known and sometimes I becomes a mini version with small buttons. Happens randomly.

I prefer the new one. It still needs a color change, and a radar of/enemies in their location relative to you.

I've included the suggestion for things to be "customizable" with every round of UI feedback. I personally prefer the look of the new UI other then the new battle log location. It was mentioned that the new UI laid "groundwork" they can build upon, like most rebuilds it's probably structured with a lot more tweakable variables and less "hard coding". Additional features and refinements not possible with the original UI will likely follow.

If it's possible to include an option to keep the old UI, then it would baffle my mind if they don't include it. I personally didn't really care one way or another about the new UI on test server. It wasn't better and it wasn't worse. It was just different.
But I know it's gotten a lot of negative feedback, and they're rolling it out anyways. The least they could do is include the option to toggle back and forth, if that's feasible.

News feed on the new hud is trash.
Just remove the "hostile are capturing a beacon" nonsense from the current one, thus removing clutter.
Don't need a newsfeed telling me what I can already see.

On the other hand, they can add "Hostiles are firing at you!" as well as "You just fired at the enemy!" and "Weapon is reloading" too, to make it look like proper news channel. |

New UI IS refreshing tbh, we just got to get used to it, if the targeting reticle can have more transparency then it'll be perfect.
Otherwise, it will be awesome for them to keep that classic HUD option open!

I got some weird thing going on on the MechSpectrum :\ Some guy called MiksMek (is he a forumite or no? Let's check ᴛʜᴇ ʙɪɢ ᴅʀᴏᴘ ) is constantly twisting facts like a mr Underwood. Here are some examples: He put this in his thread: "Overall, the new UI is fresh, looks great and besides a few bugs or quirks that are popping up, I’m sure others would agree with me when saying they are looking forward to it going live." I though it is not true, and asked guys on several Discord channels, as well as clanmates to post their opinions in the comments. After some conversation I got the following "alternative fact" from him:  He didn't read the forum, most probably, and said that "70% of forum dwellers LIKE THE NEW UI" once again. Several times did I try to ask him to change the text of the article, giving examples of people and communities where people do NOT like the new UI, but that was just vain attempts. Which makes me wonder. 1) Author made a mistake in article. No biggie. 2) He was pointed to his mistake. Argument arises. That happens. 3) Some facts were presented to him. Still no reaction. Why he insists of sticking to his wrong point? Is it just a stubbornness, or does he actually need to post an article where he says that "new ui is loved by all the players"? Hmm, do I need to put my tinfoil hat on? Please, if you care about new UI - go there and post a comment, it easy to do: mechspectrum.com/2017/07/30/after-the-beacon-rush-War Robots-test-server-3-0-0-463/ |

There you are 'Stig Russian' I guess 'Russel' is at least ONE of your Forum profiles? You really want to bring 'this' discussion here? Ok then. Lets do this:
I misread the original forum poll. Sorry. I acknowledged this to one of your various profiles on M*S. It's a redundant point though...
In my M*S post I expressed my OPINION from MY point of view... Concerning the UI and its workings, I have a right to express my OPINION there and the "others" I reference are those I have connected with via FB including my clan members.
Just because you accuse me of being a propagandist and fact manipulator doesnt mean its true. I cant TWIST FACTS when expressing my OPINION. So you asking me to change my article to reflect FACTS? Im sure "many others agree" that they like the UI just as many others certainly DO NOT agree with my views! Thats ok! The Poll you so adamantly refer to is not THE END RESULT either! Your poll reflects a part of the War Robots community. Me changing my article is not going to happen. Ever.
Russel, you really need to understand that whatever you think of gaining by bringing this topic here is probably not going to happen. Honestly, you are approaching TROLL-levels concerning this topic. Me changing what I said in the article is DEFINITELY not going to happen. You dont like the UI--OK!!! I GET THAT! YOUR OPINION IS YOURS AND YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO IT TOO! I spoke my opinion anout the UI and it refects my opinion and anyone else who just so happens to like it. As I stated, my peers seem to like it...

Actually I was puzzled why my feelings are so rough about the new UI color scheme. And then it hit me - I don't like rip-offs.  |

Your arguement against the UI does not represent EVERYONES views. Not even in this thread. Despite everyones views, the UI is coming anyway. Your point has no traction. |

Not trying to stir the pot here (okay maybe a little), but this poll isn't even about whether or not people like the new UI. It's about whether or not people feel like there should be an option to toggle back and forth, so players can choose their preference. Someone could very well love the new UI, but vote yes here because they believe each person should get to choose.
And if Pixonic just implements the option to toggle them, then this whole argument will be for naught.

I understand that Pixonic already invested a lot of resources in the new UI HUD and it's due in few days. It's inevitable change for us the users and they might improve it and redesign it further in future updates.
That's why I believe it's better to just have the option to switch back to the old and Classic UI that we've used for years and just skip that frustration that this new UI will create.

You stated your position, I just wanted for all good people in the forum to know that you are taking "premiere news outlet" like another place to state your opinion. This seems a touch below your usual standard, Russel. I'm not familiar with the issue you and ᴛʜᴇ ʙɪɢ ᴅʀᴏᴘ have, and right now frankly I'd rather drink beer and watch soccer than go find out. But to call out an op-ed piece for not being "news" is a bit thin, considering opinion pieces are part and parcel of the news trade. MECH*SPECTRUM is the successor to Gepard Diary, and no-one ever accused me of falling short of some journalistic standard on that site. With the new site, news is indeed an explicit part of the content, but we make sure to separate it from everything else in three ways. First, every article has very clear tags. Things like War Robots Data and Analytics, or Tabletop Games give people a sense of what they're reading, and they can click on these to read more. News articles have a tag, which unsurprisingly is "News." Second, all News articles have a section on the site all their own. Yes, they're featured up top if they're new, but they're also all in the News section. Third, just to be even more explicit, every news article is prefaced with "NEWS:" For instance, * NEWS: War Robots Test Server Weekend Details 7/29-7/30 * NEWS: Pixonic Launches the Iron Library So if it's not marked NEWS in all three of those ways, it's a blog piece. ᴛʜᴇ ʙɪɢ ᴅʀᴏᴘ may hold an entirely indefensible position (or he may not), but that should be refuted on its face rather than calling it out for "not being news." I'll leave you fellas at it, just wanted to be clear about that one thing. Definitely welcome feedback about how we can make things clearer or more intuitive. As for me, back to the soccer and beer.  |

Not everyone's views, yes. But just the MAJORITY of the players who experienced it first hand on the Test Servers  ᴛʜᴇ ʙɪɢ ᴅʀᴏᴘ maybe you should get your reading glasses and read the actual posts here? Should I give you all UI related threads on this forum and you will see that your opinion is not relevant at all with the majority of players? Still I don't understand why are you so stubborn accepting other point of view? Im totally accepting someone elses right to have an opinion! |
