So are we still mad about the HUD?

Just found it funny how one week we're all outraging about how bad the hud is. They release an update making a few small tweaks that overall don't really fix how bad it truly is. But then everyone just accepted it as is?

    I've never been mad about that.

    I mean there’s so many things in this game to be mad about that it’s kind of easy to forget about it lol

    when the new hud first came out, I was a little weirded out by it but I didn’t mind it too much. Then when they made tweaks it was a lot better. I still wish we had the old hud but I’m content with the one we currently have. I think a lot people didn’t like it because it was a big change

    It's still not as good as the OG HUD, but it's loads better than what we got after the mid-chapter update.

    They put all the info that they had scattered around the screen back into a single place (even if it does take up more space now) and got rid of that horrendous objective text.

    The only thing I actually like about the new HUD is that they fixed skill checks so that they're not constantly dropping frames anymore.

    Not exactly mad, just disappointed and slightly frusturated.

    It's still horrendous and is already negatively affecting new killers, they did fix the debuff meter aspect - but still the perk notifications/score events are buried in the top right where you cannot see them, now when the killer has Sloppy Butcher I usually only notice it when I go to be healed - individual elements are still mis-sized (item/addons too big, gen count too small) - customisation such as perk icons is still sadly gone but not as big an issue - the biggest issue by far though is the character portraits, the verticality is ######### but even if that has to stay, make thing stand out on them. Single best change they could make is using the adept white portraits, right now it's hard to slug when you can't really notice health state changes unless you focus, you never had to do this before. It's also awful with killer powers, infection/RBTs are kinda bad, Doctor is god awful because you cannot discern the difference between madness 2/3, the new killer aswell is really bad because it's hard to discern how lacerated someone is, aswell as the fact a portion of the meter is cut off by the portrait. The old UI allowed you to see health state changes, status effects at a glance, now you have to entirely focus on it and even then it's difficult - at this stage I have someone call out this information in a discord stream, but that's just stupid that the UI is so unnecessarily difficult to parse it has to come to this in the first place.

    The HUD is still awful but unfortunately we aren't famous twitter persons so we'll have to live with the changes BHVR forces on us.

    I really do hope that they're working on another overhaul.

    It's still horrible and I think most of the players are still upset but I don't think we can do much about it. They have already said that they aren't going to revert it (for whatever reason there may be) so I guess there is no point unless we get the same traction as we did when it first came out.

    I was never mad about the HUD, I thought it was just a stupid argument because people needed something to complain about.

    It still needs a Totem Count Tracker.

    Here are the only things I still want changed.

    1. Lower the points earned. I struggle to see what points I earned and what they're for.
    2. Line up status effects properly. If you get 5 debuffs it isn't lined up properly. Also if the killer has Thana, you have Prove and it's double slowdown Freddy it is also no lines up properly there.
    3. Lastly just put the portraits on the bottom. They were perfect there before. Plus having no item makes it an empty void down there.

    not mad, more like disappointed.

    im mostly happy with the changes made to it, so while its still inferior to its previous version i can see that the feedback given was listened to and that it has mostly been addressed.

    the main reason i think why most have gone more quiet on the topic is due to the upcomming promised changes on it, introducing "new features that will justify the changes".

    i really hope they will justify such drastic changes though. cause if they dont, there'll be more critisism.

    I mean it still sucks, just they aren't going to do anything else most likely.

    no one really accepted it, its def inexcusably bad. But after community managers and what are essentially HR team members tell us to ######### off and stop bitching because our opinions dont matter, its clear the do not care what we want and will not listen to us

    Still hate it.

    If they wanted to update the HUD from the ground up, make it customizable.
