Prestige 100 / 3500+ hour / all DLC player - constructive 1896 Patch info

[Hansie]

Hello,

For starters, thanks for atleast taking "some" of my tips I posted way back in my other post when I hit prestige 100;
https://steamcommunity.com/app/594650/discussions/8/3872592051316965916/

For starters, still thanks for the game, It is my favorite game and to support you guys I have always bought ALL DLC, bought extra blood bonds more than one's and all just to support, I am and always will be a PC mouse/keyboard(speedpad) player, please keep this in mind later in my post when I start about the "console UI" :)

I am not going to post about the gameplay itself alot, only had a few games yet, but only dissconnected one's so as big patch day's go, its actualy better than expected :)

Now about this UI !!!!

uhm yeah, I can understand if you guys think (or if its the case) that the big money is with the console/controller/big arse TV players, but like I sayed I think im a good player for your guys money wise (all DLC, extra bloodbonds, ...) and giving us a totaly CRAP UI like this just to cater to your "other" type of players is going to loose you people like me.

I also understand if ONLY making ONE UI for everyone is cutting down on costs, but now your basicaly ONLY make a UI for console/controller users and nothing for PC/Mouse/Keyboard users.

Some stuff off the top of my hat that realy needs to be changed

- the UI now is very obviously made 100% for console/controller users sitting behind a big arse 65" flat screen TV, and it needs a total overhoal, how is this possible ? It can not be that 100% of the people at Crytek all play on console ? , is the money grab so much bigger at the console side ? no way any real PC gamer should have allowed this to be released to PC gamers !!!!!

- The game starts on the "latest hunt news" screen , this is full screen and this basicaly is a store/commercial tap !!!! , I do NOT want to see this full screen everytime, it gives me an extra 2 clicks before I can play (click Play, than bounty hunt), again I understand you have to sell stuff, but having the news (and the adds) in the top right corner was just fine, I will click on it if I see something I like or want info off,
Even worse, it looks like this screen is full screen AFTER EVERY GAME (this might have been because of dissconnects but I think it actualy ALWAYS pops up), this is NOT ACCEPTABLE !!!!!

- I should be able to directly click "bounty hunt" from the first screen, now I always have to click play first and than "bounty hunt" , game should just start in last used mode.

- When I am in the bounty hunt screen, I see my hunter but I DONT SEE MY LOUDOUT !! thats anoying and stupid.

- On the hunter selection screen, the mouse wheel should atleast move the hunters left to right, now its just realy realy anoying, in grid view the mouse wheel moves the grid up down, but its still not as good as the simple list it used to have, you know, where we could than also instantly see our gear

- If you click a hunters gear on the hunter list it does not go to the loadout, it just goes to that gun in the store. (I know there is a "loudout" button at the bottom but come on why do it like that !!!

- Same on the saved loudout screen, have us atleast use the mousewheel to cycle left/right thru the loudouts

- in the loudouts , there is an option to R Reduce (like if you have two regen shots) but NO option to take a second !!! (also see my bug lower in the UI bugs tab in my post)

- Why is the amount of blood bonds I have (top middle left UI) same colour as the hunt dollars (white) till I hover over it, I need my blood bonds to be gold/blood colour :)

- The weapons in the loudout/hunter gear screen are very tiny, its just stupid, obviously again because game is now made for 65" LCD TV's

- Ammo type's also in the loudout/hunter gear screen are VERY small and hard to make out, like incendiary is now a tiny bullet with a very very small red line on it, instead of the BIG ARSE YELLOW FLAME, why that stupid change ??

- When I am done taking my loudout, I have to go back TWO SCREEN's before I can click ready or look for team, again why all the menu's !!!!

- Why is chat NOT visible on the team selection / ready screen, you have to go and select it, also you can NOT select it even if it has a popup with the previous text until someone from your new team say's something !!!!!!!!

- I tought there was going to be a health chunks loudout, but cant find it to put on my current hunters (maybey it exists on the new ones ??) would love a easy fast respec healthchunks button on existing hunters.

- I can NOT easely switch a selected weapons skin anymore and it anoyes the hell out of me, I used to be able to just click on one of the blocks under the weapon to select another skinn I OWNED, instead now I have to press TAB to than see A SHOP LIKE WINDOW with ALL the skinns for that weapon, not just those I OWN, this pissed the crap out of me and is another dirty dirty way to push money stuff down our pie hole, and it "might" get you sales from other people, it will make people like me STOP to buy stuff, if I want to buy something , I will buy it, if you make me click away ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ store's constantly I will stop playing your game. I expect that from free mobile games, NOT games I BOUGHT and have SUPPORTED with alot of DLC and skinn purchases.

- quickly selecting a dual wield pistol setup now also is extra anoying, it used to be double click pistol, double click pistol, now you first have to select the box for the second pistol first !!!!!!

UI bugs I found ;

- I have a saved loudout with 2x regeneration shot, when I buy that loudout the box where the regen shots are is just empty (tryed recreating the loudout, so its not some leftover from beeing an old loudout) , when I go to the regen shot, doubleclick it, it gets put in there, if I double click it again it is removed, to have TWO regen shots, I have to select one in TWO different slots, and than they become stacked in the first slot, I have to do this EVERY ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GAME for the moment, so its a small bug, but a VERY anoying one because I want TWO regen shots.

Some ingame issues I have seen also ;

- why do I have a white crosshair dot in the middle of my screen in darksight ??? (dont even have that dot in the normal view ingame, and dont want it eather !!
(EDIT : never mind , just saw in patch notes that it intentional !! (and very immersion breaking)

- if I dont touch anything, instead of just swaying around like it used to, now my hunter will constantly pull to the up and right !!!!! , why ????

- I dont realy like the renaming of the winfields to 73"s , but meh, ill get used to it, but I first tought the search option was broken since I could not find any "winfields"


So in short , WTF UI guys ??

I kinda dont understand how this got past ANY real PC Gamer at Crytek , I like to hope some people threatened to quit there job if they passed this ♥♥♥♥ on to PC Gamers ??

But not all is lost, but you guys gota come now with a quick Mea Culpa to the PC players and make some realy fast changes or you will only keep the console gamers.
(BTW, if that is what you want, just say so outright and ill cry a little and start looking for another game, so a "we dit a big oopsie" would be a good start to give us some hope)

Thank you for the game up till now,
I realy hope you can turn it back in the right direction (UI wise atleast)

[Hansie]

Just a little bump, because I think the 100+ angry we hate the UI posts the forum gets every minute just pushes my post down :) :)

[Saijga]

This right here

[Fritzbube]

Yes, if they dont want me as a player anymore, say it.
Then i can look for something else, right now their ui tells me EXACTLY that...

is it a coincedence Hunger just released their Trailer a week ago ? and looking at Hell let lose they seem to know their target audience

[Hansie]

Hmmm,

For the moment the game itself is also getting bad :(

first day's I only had like average of one disconnect a night (usualy at game start) but now just had a game where I disconnected 4 times (my teammates also) and the game even froze TWICE and TWICE I had to ALT-F4 !!!!!!!

[53yoGamer]

over 4,000 hours in HUNT here.... I fully support the constructive UI critics. I have never seen such a non-intuitive crap before in my life of hundreds of games.

[eddie]

Exactly what I thought when I 1st launched the game after big Update.
Its clearly made MAINLY for console and PC players have to adapt.

Ideal for players would be possibility too choose if you want UI for console, or for PC.
2 different styles.

When Hunt came in 2018, first UI was ok.
After some time they changed to be more comfortable for console. But still aceptable for PC.
Now they totally changed UI and created that specialy for console.

And what us?
PC gamers?!

And I dont even mention actual technical state of the game.
Because I hope they will fix it.

For example now when I meet an enemy (player), game starts micro-freezes. Pretty annoying.

[Joy Boy]

100% True, new ui not intuitive at all and very annoying

[Hansie]

I just saw I can click prestige to go to prestige 101 !!!!! , I found some posts with people doing this and getting everything ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, so im not pushing that button, but WTF ???

also where was the screen I can still see my KDA at ????
(EDIT : found that screen, how about you hide it behind maybey 7 more extra menu's ??)

[Leenay]

In the main menu there's a progression tab at the bottom where you can press statistics and find your kda. On the bounty hunt screen you can press space, view equipment and there you press E 2 times to get to stats, but it shows your kd instead of kda for some reason.

[Hansie]

hmmm, and now all servers down, all show 0ms , none work :(
