Firestarter - Ember video was pretty good. I really didn't want to put more money into the game right now... but... rg.... can't resist is.... so pretty!....AHHHH!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN6GnaUho8w
Who the hell are they thinking they're fooling? This new UI is definitely not user friendly, not to speak about new users. For example, it took me ages to finally find how to save a mech loadout.
Best thing about this patch you know why? because I want it to look NOTHING like it does right now. Hideous, counter-intuitive, difficult, just a few words that scratch the surface of my frustration. However, "improved turn around time" could mean 6 months because that would be HALF the time it took to get us this POS. /vent
Yeah, I finally found it. At last. But the single fact the button exist does not make it intuitive and user friendly. (and it's just an example, this new UI is serious crap)
I'm itching to make a rant video with suggestions... took tomorrow off so I can play late tonight (for a car diagnosis, not specifically to play MWO lol, just a perk) I might have to do this...
This UI: counterintuitive (ˌkaʊntərɪnˈtjuːɪtɪv) adj 1. (of an idea, proposal, etc) seemingly contrary to common sense 2. (Military) intelligence collected about enemy espionage I want to punch babies, I want to punch them all day. Edit: As an aside, I am enjoying the brutality that 4 medium lasers and 4 machine guns can do:
Can someone pls write a tutorial how to use the new UI 2.0? I'm sooo confused. Takes me 10 times longer to configure my Mechs before launching a game.
They uploaded just that! Still doesn't make it good though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywKefWlrz-Q
While I certainly can get places with the current UI, I can imagine how it must be if I didn't know what to look for. BAAAAAAAAAAAD. Also, I LIKED the fact that the client wasn't fullscreen when not in-game. gave me time to catch up with some stuff on skype, look up a new build here, etc. Alt-tabbing all the time gets tedious quickly if it was nice before.
And they STILL haven't fixed weapons randomly dislocating to other hardpoints in the same area, the color palette for current camo spec is bugged, etc. Amazing how they are so behind on schedule and it still feels excessively rushed.
This new UI is terrible. Terrible terrible terrible. I was going to buy the new Firestarter. But I couldn't figure out how. I also do not like it being full screen. Being able to sort your mechs is nice, but man. That much time for that little addition and then all the terrible to go with it? Wow.
Count me as another who liked the old windowed UI format better, the new way is a pain in the ass with 2 screens. I have had to switch to window mode, which works fine in UI, but now I'm forced to play in window mode. Maybe they can make it a separate choice for which part is windowed and which isn't. And really the check out button equals save? How did they screw that one up so bad?
