Back after a 6-month break ... not impressed :(

Ok, just to make sure it’s not all piss and vinegar … I DID find something I like about the new key-mapping. I like how I can use shift or ctrl to give the same hotkey 2 new functions. This is an actual multiplier of my most-used keys. Eg. … I usually map my main weapon to Q. Then I’d map my finisher weapon to E. Now I can map both to Q and use shift to switch. I LIKE IT! =D

Only drawback is … I can’t use control to descend/dive :confused: . I wish there was an option to turn off not all key modifiers but just one or the other. I decided to work around this for now by using Ctrl+space to descend/dive. Muscle memory is quite an inertia to overcome as I use Ctrl for crouch in every game I play.

OH AND … I noticed my clothes no longer decay when I change them! =D

I still want my old Jad Adj look back. Till then the whine will flow…

Thanks JJO. Prompts me to add to earlier that improvements are a good thing, even if the balance is still poor or worse.

I also partially use the mapping of 3 sets of 10 to switch icon sets, which I almost never did in the old system with the layout numbers.
Of course I find the arrows are the wrong way round (at least for my brain’s intuition), so I sometimes just go with my brain and click the wrong arrow twice, but oh well…
I believe we CAN use the Ctrl as a unique action if we switch it off as a multi-key (see settings), but I admit I dislike my current setup for vehicles too, both climbing and decending.
I’ve also said how I like the stackable loot window (but not its size) and current loot total, but then I look at the icons that don’t update decay properly anymore - and there’s the vinegar again…

My play time definitely tanked after the new UI went live. It is just so ugly to look at, and the AH in particular frustrates me. after a couple hours of playing I just feel like logging off to look at something nicer. Such a huge upset for myself and many others. Surely MA must agree with us on this. It was far from an improvement, and should have been immediately reverted.

Change can be frustrating, and I was somewhat annoyed, but after I took the time to make things pretty much work like they used to, I haven’t noticed much difference. Like someone else said, I think there are bigger problems in this game.

If your only problem is ui and armor look ā€œupgradeā€, then you are between those happier players :slight_smile:

Ok, well, SOME things have improved.

My favorite:

  1. No more decay when changing clothes or facemasks! OHHHHH! I can finally change through all my outfits in a day!
  2. Graphics look better than before for several areas. I actually enjoy wandering around again like a noobie and just gawking at the scenery
  3. Ok … the new armor look is growing on me. I’d still prefer the old design, but only if it could be as high-fidelity as the new one
  4. Got a HOF and a FAT global for the first time in YEARS! I didn’t even depo lol! Ok … I know this is pure luck, but that was a nice surprise
  5. I like the last batch of mayhem coats. It has such a better look than those Vampire coats that just look rushed

Oh, and I had a newbie at Icarus ask me what the game looked like before the Unreal update. I nearly spat my wine out over my laptop lol! I think I now see the sleight of hand MA pulled with the Unreal hype XD

Ok lah … not too bad. I’m actually enjoying the game enough to play daily.
