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?

I'd be content with a toggle. Leave them on by default for new players, sure, but let us toggle them off if we'd like. Because I agree, they're annoying.

I hate them too. I feel like if I look at them too long I'll get a migraine so I'm purposely avoiding them. Talk about a change no one asked for or needed.

They don't really bother me

They don't bother me but its unnecessary visual clutter. The yellow bar would have been enough. If they wanted to update that UI by all means. The arrows aren't really necessary.

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...

These arrows should be a toggle. They are so annoying

It's the rarities all over again.
"Oh we are changing it because new players couldn't understand it before"
Ok, why make this everyone's problem?

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..

Me too! It hurts my eyes.

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
0 -
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 revert1 -
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 :-( ..)

Horrible change, revert asap please. I'm sorry but if new players couldn't understand a loading bar progressing I really don't know what to say.

I dont even think that the progress bar arrows are helpful for new players in the slightest.

I agree, it feels very "Good Job, you're doin great sweetie" on the level of Mobile games, it's extremely patronizing and distracting. It just hand-holds new players so they don't have to think, DbD is better than this.

I don't mind it, it's just a different aesthetic to me, I do appreciate that the bar is yellow when multiple survivors work together now.

UI/UX team on their way to make an unnecessary visual change to justify their existence.

I absolutely hate it. It bugs the ######### out of my eyes I have seizures too so it can actually be very triggering. I’m glad I’m not the only one here who dislikes it. I made a report to them about it.

I have to literally train my eyes not to look at it. I have seizures so it could possibly trigger them for me if I wasn’t on medication. If they want to keep it they at least need to make it an option to be able to turn off.

I’m glad it’s not just me either. I don’t care if they keep it but it needs to be something that can be turned off. I have seizures and I feel this could be triggering to people with seizures like it bugs my eyes so bad. I have to train myself to not look at it.

Can we make this ugly effect optional please!

Sadly we seem to be in the minority here…
