New Ui sucks

the new ui is just all over the place, we can’t look at everything all at once. why was it changed? now i have to look at the top to see gens, bottom left to see items/power, top left to view survivor status, middle left to see hook counter like what? what is this?

literally just add character portraits and the hook counter to the old hud.


also why wasn’t wraiths cloak speed buffed? he’s still addon dependent

    I like that it gives more information; I just don't like the positions of things.

    I think they should blend the old and new UI style. Give the silhouettes the survivor portraits, keep the old UI positionioning the same, and put the hook counter next to the power icon.

    I understand the need depending on what they want to add to make the HUD bigger, but it is a bit of a pain that you need to look all around your screen to find the same amount of info that you can now by just looking in the bottom left corner.

    It honestly looks like a hud from a mobile game

    Please change the UI back...my eye sight isn't the best and it's now hard to read the words when I'm awarded points. Also, my eyes have to go all over the screen to read this and that. Despite the many many people who complain about bugs, this is the first time I said that I am going to reduce my play time of this game. The UI is not pleasant and is a huge turn off.


    The solution would be to just put the portraits in the places of the old UI. It would also be nice if the portraits could mirror the custom items people wear. If the resolution problem is for mobile only, then keep the new UI for mobile. They are smaller screens.

    The size of things is terrible too. You know what this UI reminds me of? Playing a game at the wrong resolution. Except I can't fix it by changing it to the right one...

    I guess you haven't played literally any game made after 2005.

    Glad to see it isn't just me that logged in to it as killer and was like... tf is this?!? for two matches, and still until I read this forum, I didn't even see the new gen counter anywhere. Going to go look for it now, but wow, what a poor layout design. If you are going to change something that drastically, you gotta put out something to MAKE the players alerted to how the new one works, not just slap it on them with no explaining the changes in game.

    I don't even see the point of updating the UI.

    IT WAS PERFECT.

    Why do you even need to see mode info?

    How many hooks? Which character?

    It was ok to leave it ambiguous so players have room to use their brains.

    DBD just looks so cheesy now.
