Just played my first game on Android 3.0 and it's a disaster:
-no sense of depth or scale of the Reds
-the targeting obscures the target
-laggy as hell
-Red names unreadable and overlapping regardless of distance
-blue pie on blue sky for blue beacons
I'll try it on my 10" Chrome Book but it's awful on my phone.
Hopefully this is all fixed in 3.1 ASAP. Hell, just pull a Microsoft, skip 3-9, and go straight to 10.
Awful, awful, awful! [Runs away crying to pout in a corner]

You need to reboot your device after an Update and then play a few Matches to have the files load - afterwards you should be golden.

You're seeing most of the same things we've been complaining about loudly on the TS since they trotted this mess out. I have usually had to stop playing after about a half hour with the new UI because my eyes hurt so bad. You can't make out ?poo-poo? where the enemies are, and targeting is an absolute abortion. I'm not looking forward to this dropping on iOS at all. Be sure to use the in-game report to let them know how much you like it as often as possible. Maybe they'll eventually get the message.

So cheers FireBeard, the reboot smoothed it out a bit. UI is still rubbish and sensitivity seems finicky but at least I could play. Can't aim or lock worth a darn...it's like everything is miniaturized.
Make hay boys, MM is all screwed up right now and I'm up against Silver 2/1 and Gold 3 Reds.

Update is released on Android already? Damn by the way you describe it... really not looking forward to the update for iOS then!  ANYHOOS would you be kind enough to upload a screenshot of the new UI and whether or not the menu has the "classic HUD" option? Cheers, WilsonK. |

Make sure to grab some screenshots or vids and post on Pix FB page. If enough people who have UI probs post it may lead to a speedier fix.

They've had plenty of chances to fix it on the TS and haven't done anything to address the most common complaints. These issues have been there from the beginning, players were critical of it, but they're pushing it out anyway. I don't care how much new functionality it's going to have the capability for in the future, using it just sucks plain and simple. This will be the second game I play(ed) regularly where a major update with such 'improvements' turned the game to 「dookie」. |

Sorry Sidebandit, I meant to quote WilsonK Thanks for the screenshot! I meant in the main lobby menu page, where your music/sound/lock on target options are. Is there an option for "classic HUD"? It was on the test servers. |

It was on the test servers.  But maybe you refer to my mockup suggestion from the poll a week before 3.0 update here? war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/12268/classic-hud-ui-switch-option Ever since the new HUD UI surfaced on Test Servers I was sending feedback and design mockups with improvements. And I was suggesting to Pixonic make both HUD User Interfaces available in order to keep the current players less frustrated with that change. But no they were creating something much better and cool that the OLD UI had to be scrapped for the cool new look. And maybe they believe that by copying Battle Titans UI it will refresh the look of War Robots too.  And what about the new desert map on the Test server? With crashed spacecraft? They are very inspired I see   |

Well I'm colourblind and I found the new UI hard to use on the test server. The cross hairs weren't very clear - they kind of disappear into the background at times.
I might even have to stop playing if they are really bad when the update drops on iOS.
I'll contact Pixonic and see if they might make changes - colour blindness is a kind of disability (albeit not nearly as disabling as other conditions). Pixonic are making the game inaccessible to disabled users!
Quite a few video games have issues like this - I thought the games industry might have thought about it by now. It's difficult because CB is a spectrum and each individual can have very different levels of colour perception.

I am not colour blind in the slightest but I still find it very difficult to see what is going on. I am just on the edge of needing reading glasses so in general my vision is pretty good. That surely points to a broader issue with the UI in general? I struggled to read the ranges of bots in the original as they were a little small... now I haven't got a clue what is going on in my crosshair especially when there are 2-3 bots overlapping ...who could be 100s of meters apart just standing in a line from my perspective... |

Worst update ever, it's horrible on so many levels! Please leave CIVILIZED 1-star review in Google Play Store, with no swear words, describing that new UI is not convenient. They would listen if there would be enough bad reviews. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixonic.Walking War Robots&hl=en |

So am I and I can barely read the Red names because of the subtle shift in color. |

I've contacted customer support about colour blindness and they have given the standard reply but may come back with more info. I'll post it up here - provided I can read the reply and it's not written in tiny red letters like the cross hairs! |

Love my new speedy Rhino. Now I have a hanger full of beacon grabbing, mechass kicking Rhinos and life's never been so good.
Stalkers & Carnage's run when they see my bad boys coming, Lances quiver in their chainmail, to f#*"#ing fat to retreat man I'm loving it.
Come get some Rhino love boys ?

Funny, I don't refute that you're having success with your Rhinos but I see a ton of them on BR and they don't necessarily make me run in fear. You can see them coming a mile away (think Monty Python where Sir Lancelot is attacking the castle...Ha,Ha!), they allow me to rack up the damage as they approach if I'm using midrange (this while they're trying to suppress with 2x light weapons), and when they finally get in range to drop shields they get real squishy if I haven't already flanked them with my Griff and I'm waiting with a Brawler. I know they're amazing in terms of total HP but they never seem to get to you unscathed (maybe that's different with the BR teleport). Don't get me wrong, I started a thread a few days ago asking how I could have done better in a Thunder Carnage vs DB Rhino engagement..I also wish I could do better in my Rhino but I seem to be cannon fodder. |
