Progress Bar Arrows

I hate hate hate the arrows that are now on the progress bars. I’ve never been more…annoyed by something flickering in my peripheral in this game before. Does anyone like them?

    it's an eyestrain for me. my brain makes me want to look at it but I don't want to look at a progress bar...

    Yeah I hate it, if I look at it, it actually kind of gives me motion sickness. It's so unnecessary as well, like we all know which way the progress bar fills. I have 6k hours and this may be the thing that makes me quit, because who wants to feel like they are going to vomit when playing a game? I even made an account just to post this comment, not that the devs will care or read it.

    I don't like them either. There should be a setting to turn it off.

    So glad it's not just me. I can't work out why I find them so distracting, I even almost missed skill checks because of them lol

    They are distracting and quite frankly look "cheap". Looks like something from a mobile game. An off toggle would be nice.

    I hate them too. Chalk up another “terrible change that nobody asked for”.

    Yeah, I really don't like them. I was looking through settings hoping I can turn it off, but sadly failed.

    is it even easier to understand the system now?

    Haven’t really read updates/patch notes recently and.. i think i haven’t figured out the new system yet..

    Basically the way it works now is the progress bar color will change depending on the total action speed of all survivors doing the interaction, rather than only your own action speed as before. So working on a gen together with another survivor now will result in a yellow bar (as the total speed between both of you would be 1.7) rather than it being red like before (since your individual speed would be 0.85).

    yeah i get that part, which is easier to understand i guess. But it is also leaving out the Info that there is still some penalty as well? And what do the arrows mean and the movement mean?

    The arrows will change speed depending on the progress bar color, so when yellow for example the arrows move faster. It's kinda unnecessary imo

    ah. That makes sense and kinda carries the info of extra penalty when multiple survs work together on a gen.
    …but. Its really not that intuitive and just adds visual clutter in the end.. hoping for a toggle here as well, or even better a revert

    Don´t like it either.

    These are strangely distracting and confusing.

    Toggle to turn them off would be nice.

    If not toggleable i would prefer the arrows removed.

    (But sadly… like rarities and my NEXT and Previous buttons to cycle through your chars never came back :-( ..)
