Reviving Torrent should default to the yes option
This is something that definitely needs addressing imo, personally I find it utterly infuriating how reviving Torrent with a Crimson Flask defaults to no, despite the fact the player clearly wants to revive him. This means the player has to take their thumb/finger off of the important buttons/keys in a very intense fight just to select yes and then confirm.

Needless to say this is a frustrating oversight and this should definitely be changed to default to yes, so all the player needs to do is confirm which alleviates a lot of the annoyance in this choice.

this very specific thing is terrible UX and should definitely be improved, maybe if you use the ring twice, double tap the action, it bypasses the question entirely and just revives Torrent.

Had this same thought many times in my playtime.

Agreed.

Yes.
Completely agree.

Or default to a button prompt, press (x) or ([ ]) again to revive, press(B) or (O) to cancel.

Yes. Feels like a deliberate design choice to mess with players.

Absolutely maidenless design.

if you put it on the hold Y menu, left or right, its a pretty quick cycle to yes

I suppose but it still makes it a little more arduous than it should be. I think making the player press A revives whereas the other face buttons declines would make things so much smoother for everyone.
Keep dreaming and keep posting pointless threads. FROM does not give a flying ♥♥♥♥ about UX, and they will never change it.

There should be an option to just automatically consume a heal and mount up.

Why the ♥♥♥♥ the "Ashen flask" no longer clearly BLUE? It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard to spot. They made it WORSE.
They made PVP WORSE, zero balancing. Stupid mechanic worsening.
Why the ♥♥♥♥ do you get to ask to upgrade your haels in the menu only to show you a message that you can't AFTER you already tried? This is the worst UX ever, but the fanboys eat it up and rate it 11/10 game. I mean it's great, and these things are not major issues, BUT it shows how they not give a ♥♥♥♥.

No UW support, 60 FPS lock in a 2022 game. Sure 11/10.

They did not even bother to touch their own classic Dark Souls, but we should be thankful because the 3rd party company that did the so called "remaster" actually implemented BASIC things like UI scaling and UW support to the game.

yeah everytime i try to do that in a fight i always feel im fighting the Text box along with the enemy, Kind of like a boss from Kirby Superstar

Agreed.

Agreed, but they should really just remove the yes/no UI and just go for the pot rez; If you trying to summon Torrent you're obviously doing it because you NEED him in that moment making the yes/no pointless.

You could apply this statement to the whole game. I convince the developers are Sadists.
