Can we please have useful UI menu finally?

[KungFury]

The UI in the menu is so bad and it is still not possible to form a group with your friends.
Its so sad that we still are here after 1.0 and need to invite our friends after EACH match!

i dont understand the exact issue except for the last part.

is kinda silly that you have to always invite people

The UI is over complicated, does not give a good overview and is a total mess. here are some examples:

• Double click inconsisence. You can double click to buy items but it does not work for hunters
  
• the trait list gives absolutely no overview. You always have to scroll through the 50 traits to find the one you want. Also the filters are not very useful here.
  
• Filters are not safed. I always need to set them, even when it makes no sense to show the items/traits I can not purchase anyway.
  
• When you select a weapon of your hunter you want to change against another one, when you doubleclick the weapon you want, the weapon will often not be swapped. You purchase the new weapon, but the weapon you have selected just got removed. If you dont notice this, you start without a weapon.
  
• The icons are way too big. Why do we see only 9 weapons? 25 would be a good number.
  
• There are so many tabs and filters. I think with a better UI this wouldnt be necessary.
  
• It is very difficult to see the items you already own.
  
• I always want a medpack and 3 dynamites. Why do I always have to rebuy the things and equip them? Why is there no "preset" button where I just need to click it and the items will be bought and equipped to the selected hunter automatically?
  
• Why are melee tools not equipped on slot 3 automatically? Who wants a knife on number 6? Makes no sense... and some hunters start with a melee weapon not on slot 3 directly.
  
• Friends lobby has to be reset after each match!
  
• many many more things...

Another thing that really annoys me is the book of weapons.

Why is there no indext ?
Or even better a skill tree.

I wrote it down myself just so I can see what unlocks what.

i suppose they are still doing trials about the UI, when the console version is released maybe they ll keep the same UI while we get one that would fit the PC better

index? what you mean exactly?

[ElDiabolo]

A content overview with shortcuts at the beginning or side of the book.

So that if I want to go to fire bomb I don’t have to scroll down all the way and search for it

It is obvious that the UI is designed by a person who never plays the game. Also the UI has just become an overhaul after 1.0. The UI in the EA phase was already a complete fail and now they released this... its a pain in the ass for a game like Hunt where a lot of time you are forced to use the UI.

dont worry nothing Crytek wont fix eventually, they seem to be slow but steady when it comes to hotfixes and patches

if it takes as long as for the last UI (it took them the whole early access phase to bring a new UI - means a complete year), then this will help us nothing.

First, there are plenty of issues when it comes down to usability some listed above and I fully agree.

And then, to make things even worse... UI is simply ugly.

So we are talking about 2 rather than just 1 issue - it is both visually as well as functionally below average :s

Hopefully this will change in not so distant future...

I did concept of maybe better menu:

well they will focus on the functional bit of the UI at least because they seem to care about the most pressing issues first unlike what happens to the UI having it change only for the release as it was something that was never a priority as big as we might saw it

Good job!

Certainly better than what Crytek did :s

Simple change of the background already makes big difference in visual department!

Also, just look at that contract icons... Hezuz lord! >_<
