Can i get rid of the watch?

[krylke]

I dont want the menu on my wrist I want it on the menu button like it used to be. It was 1000 times better. Please let me change it back

Hi Krylke, no plans to switch the menu back to the previous version.

Are you aware that you can detach the watch menu from your wrist? To do this:

1) Look at your watch (so the menu appears)
2) Press the menu button - the menu will detach and hang in space much like the old menu.
3) No you can interact with it using either hand.

Maybe this makes it only 10 or 100 times worse?

Yes i know i can detatch it but its only temporary as soon as i close the menu its back on my wrist again and it pops up all the time and is anying again. Let me have it detatched all the time if i want please.

Almost all the new changes after your jump to multiplatform has been for the worse. It was awsome the way it was. Im sorry I hade an awsome time in rec room but its just not fun anymore. U guys are policing it too much and trying to make a dumed down system that will work on everything instead of using its strenght. Best of luck to u devs

I agree, and I left it in the sudgestions. I actually stopped playing because of the watch mechanic being very distracting and annoying. I mean, whos idea was that?!?! The old way was a 1000x better, totally agree as per my other post.

It would be nice to give players the option, I suppose, but I personally found the new menu to be a lot nicer. Being on the back of your hand, I've never accidentally opened it.

Appreciate the feedback pro and con.

Blake - when we first shipped the watch it was a little trigger happy (i.e., it would appear when you wave at someone, etc.). We've since toned it down.

Current plan is to keep the watch, and improve it. Krylke, Blake, I hope to make a believer out of you =]

I HIGHLY appreciate the development team taking time out to talk to users. I, for one will return and see the improvements. This is the best social VR game out there. It's important you get it right!
Thank you for your replies! best wishes with this fantastic project!

Is the watch supposed to work with an item in your pointer hand? I have to drop what I'm holding to use the watch.

Two things:

1) You can detach the watch by pressing the menu button (there's instructions on the bulletin board in the Dorm Room). That way you can use it one handed.

2) In a future update we're likely going to make the watch UI use more physical buttons, so you can press them with the tip of a paintball gun or whatever.
