New HUD

Tbh, I don't really like the new HUD

The generetor remaining at the top of the screen it's the place where it should be

The survivors portrait to "know" who is playing who. We can already see that by pressing the "esc" button

The killer power feels lonely now...


In my opinion our current HUD is already great with all the information in a single place (left bottom)

They could have just placed the new hook counter to the right of the generators remaining and it would have been fine.

Even though I like changes, I hope this change won't make past the PTB

What do you guys think?

    I actually don't mind, I don't think it will make any difference whatsoever. But it is a improvement to don't need to press esc to know who is who

    I'd still rather have the HUD we have now than the newer one.

    For a game where every second counts, needing a few seconds for a whole glance of the screan will make you distracted for longer, you'll look at the HUD for info for the gens left, then the survivor health status, then your power cooldown. Now do this like 30 times a match.

    The old one barely needs a second for every peace of information you need, and you can memorise the survivor's names/skins with each other so the "press escape and look at the survivors" problem can be avoided anyways, it's nice that it's in the new HUD, but the positions of every thing was just awfully placed.

    So I hope they actually listen and change the position of the info, probably the biggest complaint about the HUD.

    You got a point, but I'm hoping that you will get most of these informations by peripheric view. But again, I need to test it first

    I like that they're adding survivor portraits but I hope they don't go with the ones they've shown in the video because they're too colorful and they don't fit with the rest of the game. They need to work on the placement of everything though.

    I find portrait with player name is better to hit escape.

    Though I prefer flat arts, over 3D image. Gen, item, power, addon, perk, survivors' status are all flat arts, putting survivor 3D portraits isnt consistence in design

    If we cant change the HUD placement, I just hope they change 3D portrait to flat art.

    But on our actual HUD

    The current HUD represents the essence of the old DBD, it does not deserve to be changed, then the lobby, the store, the title and i die.

    Every HUD becomes a warm color like white and blue, with lootbox ads and every DLC even non licensed ones becomes auric cells only. Ooo oo they should make items in the bloodweb x2 as expensive! And then make the game free to- o wait...

    The new hud is not ugly its dysfunctional. The "generators remaining" is now much longer and takes up more room aswell as being away from the other elements making it more difficult to check all elements at once. Id rather they keep the general location of the hud elements as is and do texture work on it.

    They made it seem like it's a discord call with the character portraits being on the top left corner of the screen. I agree completely with being able to adjust where the HUD goes, character portraits or not they would still look good as they currently are on the bottom left corner of the screen. It's neat they made it so you can adjust how big or small the HUD is, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to make a few alterations by allowing us to fully adjust where what goes.
