what were they thinking with the new backpack ui?

[Noog]

It's the worst ui i have ever seen

[Nite69]

I agree with that, the old UI in backpack was much better, it makes it difficult to sort junk and quickly select weapons now

[Alpha and Omega]

It's unbelievable. I don't think anyone tried playtesting it because they would've immediately noticed that there's no way to see what you're carrying or what you have equipped.

[eroo]

Hopefully there will be a mod to fix it.

[Anoteros]

You should see the ui in Outward >.>

[Skops]

I'm hoping they will patch in the option to use the classic UI.

It's godawful. I'm probably going to end up going back to the original Borderlands. :(
I tried copying various files from the old game into the enhanced version, but it doesn't seem to pick them up. Hopefully someone will release a mod or Gearbox will allow a toggle to revert it to the original inventory list style.

[Skornsoul]

I like it. I get that its a pain from the older version but it does look better. Just my opinion. Liking this enhancement.

I don't need to see the gun twice, we already had the information panel on the right, and I would much rather sort through my inventory at a glance than only ever see 7 guns out of a possible 72

[DocStrangelove]

Also works great for me. After BL2/TPS I always found it a pain going back to BL1's system. It's not ideal (especially scrolling through your backpack) but overalll it's a great improvement for me. Also, sell trash, thank God that's there now.

It's bad but people should really stop whining so badly for anything and everything that they don't like.

It's ok enough to play the game and compared to all the major improvements to the game it's a trade I'm ok with them doing. It would be more annoying for a brand new game like BL3 but for a remaster, free for many people, of a 10 years old game honestly whining about that is a bit overkill.

It's really not a big deal. Also using the keyboards is a lot more efficient than the mouse in this one menu, it's not intuitive but when you start getting the hang of it it's quite decent.

Anyone is allowed to have an opinion on any change or game system.

This is a discussion forum and the game being free doesn't stop these discussions working both in favor and against game systems and changes made.

Just because it's a small deal to some people who are more familiar with the more recent titles doesn't mean they had a working backpack UI already in Borderlands 1 and this might be viewed as a downgrade to some people.

Anyone is allowed to prefer the larger UI, anyone is allowed to prefer the more compact UI, there is no one in the wrong for either opinion.

[Sombrero]

I agree with that. There's a huge gap between constructive criticism and instant whining though. And 99% of opinion nowadays is instant whining.

I personally dislike these new edgy words like "Whining", "Hating" and "Fanboy". It´s almost always used when a person doesn´t want a discussion, but only wants to discredit other peoples opinions; from both sides of any given argument. Of course these people who are labeled as "whiners" or "fanboys" are automatically wrong.......

And a sentence like "99% of ones opinion is "whining" nowadays".....wow.

I don´t see the "whine" when someone simply points out that he prefers the old UI.

[Ravielsk]

Yeah the new UI objectively sucks. This is a game where you will be sorting through hundreds if not thousands of guns and items and this UI is designed for a game that has maybe 20-30 items/weapons in total.

It needlessly prioritizes showing of the guns(that you already saw when picked up) over your ability to sort your inventory.

This isn't a matter of "liking". Its an objective downgrade for a supposedly updated version of the game. Borderlands is heavy on inventory and stat management and as I wrote above this system is designed for a game that has maybe a total of 20-30 items in the entire game. It straightforwardly makes the game worse.

We need the BL equiv. of SkyUI. Unfortunately both games use scaleform, which I hate (Autodesk and Adobe: a match made in hell).
