The Gate posted:It's not really worse than before, just bad in a different way. Much like almost everything about the game, currently. it really is worse, but all the really terrible things look incredibly easy to fix. off the top of my head: - cut out 75% of confirmation dialogs - jump from the smurfy paper doll to the right part of your mech by clicking - filters for 'only show if usable on this mech' and 'only show owned items' on all mechlab screens - have a button in the gridview of robots for 'strip modules' and a global 'strip all modules' button. that would do it. sebmojo fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Nov 1, 2014 |

I am not defending UI2.0 at all, but I'm finding that if you just set up a mech how you want it once and then never change it again, you can avoid a lot of the annoying bullshit. Does mean you need an engine for every mech and you probably won't want to deal with modules though.

Also, going back after viewing mech details while on the 'Purchasable' tab should not default you back to the 'Owned' tab.

PoptartsNinja posted:You could sell things in the old UI without hunting down a shop. It feels like they got a web designer who didn't play the game to do it - it looks like it should look, but the info you want is hard to find (though the detailed smurfy view is actually really good) and it constantly gets in your way for doing almost anything. From my pov the UI should be a fun place for dicking round and coming up with dumb builds which (and this is important, pgi) I CAN THEN SPEND MONEY ON. I highlighted the bit that was important for pgi.

sebmojo posted:it really is worse, but all the really terrible things look incredibly easy to fix. off the top of my head: You've missed the biggest thing; every single click or keypress takes 1-2 seconds to register that anything actually happened, and then when something does happen it's a little spinning wheel that is sending a message to PGI to make sure it's okay that I clicked okay that I wanted to add a weapon to a mech. I have an 80ish ping and a pretty quick computer, there is no reason it should be taking multiple seconds for anything to happen after literally every single click. Changing which mech is selected? A couple seconds. Take a module off? A few seconds. Saving the mech now that modules are gone? 10-20 seconds. It takes minutes to do tasks that should take seconds. This UI is so bad that after games that make me want to rage quit (artillery headshot, gausswhale kills kitfox in one shot, etc) I take a deep breath, go back to the mech lab to play another game, and then inevitably the UI being so lovely and slow is what makes me go gently caress it and alt-f4 (I alt f4 because there is no good way to quit the game that doesn't take another 30 seconds). I mean what the gently caress is with PGI and making tiny actions that shouldn't be server authoritative require permission from their servers? The fact that zooming in is laggy because it requires the server's permission for you to do it epitomizes this perfectly.

The Gate posted:However, shedding IGP seems to have been the Immodium AD* that the game needed, so maybe the poo poo will clear up soon? This is a veedub/pubbie level belief; the hilarious failure of Trannyverse is far more likely to have been the kick in the nuts required to make PGI have to appease MWO players. IGP's crime, as reported by Russ, was to insist that PGI deliver on what they promised in the time frame they promised it. Those monsters.

I played a few games with goons last night and I had fun. I still can't stand UI 2.0, and ghost heat can continue to gently caress off, but the actual game is in a much better state than last time I tried it. The Halloween event is nicely done as well. I agree with Webdo that the recent turnaround in both listening and doing fun things probably owes more to the steaming dump that the world took on Transverse than it was due to the IGP split. It's getting better anyway though.

sebmojo posted:it looks like it should look I disagree. Emphatically. It looks like poo poo. UI 2.0 is slow, clunky, and cluttered. Every element is far too busy and the only thing that works well is the shop view. But they made every view the shop view (why even bother having a shop? Oh yeah, because it's the only place you can sell things you already own. Nevermind that a number with +/- next to it would be simple and immediately tell you how many Streak SRM-2s you own). PGI is so in love with their shop view that they shoved it in places even when it probably shouldn't be (we get it PGI, you like money) which all contributes to how difficult it is to find the item or information you're looking for. Seriously, it's not that difficult to break down what's needed and where you need to put it. You just need to spend 5-10 minutes thinking about what you're doing before you sit down and program, so you're not cramming things in as you think of them. "Oh, and we need this! Where can I put it? Eh, somewhere in the Mechbay's good enough."

Already made 95 MC (20, 40, 35) by just casually playing a few rounds, that's enough for a 'free' one-time paintjob for my next mech.

Ice Ferret in-game screenshots (Warning: Brown Sea link) I think the concept art looked better.  But it has 135-degree torso twist and can go ~140kph with double cSSRM6 and a cERML.

I don't know, it looks just as ugly as the concept art. That said, it doesn't look worse than the official FASA material either, just a different kind of goofy/ugly... it's just never was a nice looking mech.

WebDO posted:This is a veedub/pubbie level belief; the hilarious failure of Trannyverse is far more likely to have been the kick in the nuts required to make PGI have to appease MWO players. Well, for one, that's not the only thing they've pointed the finger at IGP for, and two, the turnaround started well before Transverse became a huge failure, and even before we knew Transverse was a thing. I mean, they genuinely seemed to expect it to do well, so I doubt they started to play nice with MWO in the off chance Transverse failed. I'm not trying to claim IGP is/was the sole source of the issues MWO has had, because Paul, Russ, Niko, etc are all also to blame. I think Transverse has accelerated the process for sure though, since they now have only MWO as a source of income and have been made extremely aware that their community was generally not happy with their efforts so far.

Best game last night for me was us doing an oldschool tunnel rush to basecap on frozen city night. Did we get points? No. Did we get bags? No. Did I sit in their base typing all about your base about your base into chat as the timer ticked down. Hell yes.

It was pretty hilarious too since they just straight didn't expect it. I felt my dramatic death while distracting them all from returning to defend was totally worth it, too.

Banano you should threaten to litigate over their impinging on your right to worship freely. Sue them for ownership then fire Paul and hire Gwaihir to balance the game.

I'm five MC short of a mechbay (and of course I haven't got a free one, couple of flamers and a single heatsink though!) and now I'm getting disconnected every single game. Joy.
