Ironsights Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 This thread is intended to be specific, constructive feedback concenring the new UI. I want this to be a clean, straight-forward feedback thread that can give the Crew direct, easy to digest feedback from the community. As such: DO Post what you like about the new UI, and why Post what you dislike about the new UI, and why DO NOT Flame, troll, insult or other wise muck this up Argue. Seriously, don't even comment on other peoples' posts If you can't handle these rules, don't post. If you break these rules, I will personally beg a mod to delete your post. Have you ever tried typing from your knees to legitimize the begging? Its bloody hard. Don't make me do it. --------------------------------------------------------------- Likes -More screen room. The increase in the playing field is pretty nice. -Moving the Skills to the center. Keeps them readily available and more easily noticable. Dislikes -Minimap location. This horse has been beaten into glue. The map should be in the left for reasons ranging from ease of use, comfort, sex appeal, to utility, tradition, and general it just plain should. -Item Location: put them above the skills! Moving the items back to the center allows for ease of access, and all the other things that made putting the skills there good. Put both there! -Stat Bonus from level up: it needs an icon with the stats like it used to have. That tiny little button next to the equally tiny level up button is just plain bad. Keep the level up button if you like, but fix the stat one. -Units selected: there is no longer a "group" indicator showing you what units you have selected. This is bad, as it makes it hard to tell how many of your minions you have selected as a spawner, makes it harder to micro said minions (yes, I do pull back the wounded marines as King) and generally reduces the overall utility of the UI. Please fix this. -The story is gone! Goes with the above, but previously if you hovered over your selected hero you could read their story. Now there is no way to read in game, and honestly I'd prefer to read while waiting for first creep waves to spawn rather than trying to read in the 90second load time and accidentally getting stuck with the wrong hero. Minor issue, but I liked the story being in-game too. Thank you for reading. Please post your Constructive Feedback below. nightShadow and Eliwan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzaiguy Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I greatly appreciate a clean feedback thread, but most posts are still going to be using points made in the other threads. I could merge the other threads with this one into an official feedback thread, but there's quite abit of BM in them and I wouldn't be able to save the poll from one of the threads. But if you guys are ok with that, I'll combine the threads threads and sticky the combined thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdReNaLiNe Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 First glance just tried out the new UI Likes: way more room i love it i like the new scoreboard at the top its nice and flashy alot better than the old skills in the center is pretty nice Dislikes: items spot a lil to small i would rather have the items where the skills are but thats just me experience bar was a lil to small thats wat i usually look at the most to check out where im at with my skills other then them to i was pretty pleased with the new UI good work on who did work to it i mean this was my first game with it and it felt fine to me just gotta play a couple more and ill be with it even more, i think it was a great change as the room brings the battlefield out waymore for more vision which is huge and clicking away and what not edit: on cows toilet the exiting was hard to find as i had no clue where to look in the heat of a battle but after the battle i looked for it in time when i was healing bymyself jsut for knowing, its where u actually level ur hero kinda small and hard to find especially if ur a first timer but its not a big deal just was pointing it out if any1 else wanted to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migol Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Like, no love the expanded view.

ChadRickVon Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Is it just me, or is the scoreboard way bigger now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muto Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 like: Scoreboard Dislike: -Items are harder to select to use or to look at. -Tiny Upgrade button. -Having Heroic Passive/Talent-abilities on the same bar as the rest of your spells.

Misantrophy Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Like the more space and the scoreboard, looks nice :P Dislike the minimap, the items and hp/mana placement. Other than that, the new UI is way better than I thought it would be, although I still dislike the stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Dislike:I dont much like the minimap being on the right side as i play ladder matchs as well and im very used to minmap being on left side i also dont like the pic on the left side maybe and option to minimize it, to give even more space? and the and the stat upgrades i couldnt find it for ages and i was pusing t and y to get the upgrade and felt rly dumb when i found it in a super obvious spot. Like:The score at the top looks alot more flashy than the last one and i like the new unit Feral (lurker) but i dont like burrow being the hotkey (V) as V is one of my item hotkyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitzer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Dislike: The way the UI is so different from the standard Starcraft 2 layout. I can see myself getting used to the UI but i have stopped playing because i DO NOT want to get used to this custom UI - it's just counter-intuitive. Changes can be done to whatever and where ever, but please leave the bottom standard UI "bar" alone. Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdReNaLiNe Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 oh yah i just noticed and not sure if im looking in the wrong spot or not but the consuambles like adrenaline/tea extract/and ints u can no longer see when they are bout to be up i always buy then throughout the game and now have no way of seeing how long its been... another thing i woulda loved to seen was woulda been a stack indicator but hopefully that will come soon it would just be nice to know how far along u are on with stacks and wat not....

Wrath Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Uploaded with ImageShack.us This isn't possible because of screen resolutions. For people with smaller resolutions, the elements on the sides move closer to the center. For this reason, things cannot just be spread out across the bottom, there has to space between the center and the sides. Qlx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qlx Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Accepted argument. I like them (altought i never use them) on the sides as well. :) Wrath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
