After playing Dark Legends, what do you think about the user interface (UI)? What do you like about it? What suggestions do you have to improve it?

We ask that you please keep your feedback constructive, as per the Forum Rules at: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/misc.php?do=vsarules


5. Non-Constructive posts are prohibited.

Below is a non-exhaustive list of examples of non-constructive posts. As a rule, non-constructive posting is not permitted:

Spam - this is considered to be repetitive posting of the same topic or text or nonsensical posts that have no substance and are often designed to annoy other forum users.

Bumping posts in order to keep them near the top of the list is also prohibited. Likewise, the use of "/signed" posts are discouraged in that it doesn’t engender constructive discussion.

Do not create threads/posts to “petition” or “lobby” for game features, additions, changes, or other issues. You may post suggestions and/or ideas to the boards, but you may not create a ‘petition’ for others to sign. This is bumping in disguise and will not be allowed. Lobbying is continually bringing up the same topic repeatedly in numerous different threads or as an off-topic post in official threads to get developer attention. This form of posting is not permitted.

Cross posting - As a courtesy to others before beginning a new thread, please look to see if an active thread on that topic has already been established using the Search feature. If so, place your comments there instead. Multiple threads on the same subject clutter up the forum needlessly and many good ideas may be lost. Use the Search link to keep discussions about one topic to one thread only.

Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are insulting and rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.

A rant is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

False obituary threads are considered highly improper, and knowingly posting false news of a player’s real-life death may result in a ban of both your forum account and your game account.

Threads that make threats or use other combative language are not allowed.

Thanks!

Overall the UI is pretty good. I just have a few suggestions.

The skills are still WAY to big on the ipad. They take up almost 1/4 of the screen. They should be reduced in size to what they were before the last client update.

I would like to see an option to hide the goals icon. I don't like seeing things blink out of the corner of my eye.

We should also have an option to display our own names above our heads like PL recently got.

Overall I am very happy with the new UI. Th only request that imhave is to move the virtual joystick to the middle of the screen on the left hand side, when u could only run a few missions the position really didn't affect my game play much. Now that the energy requirement has been lifted for 3d missions it's very uncomfortable to run 3d missions. Also my thumb keeps sliding off the joystick.

I totally love the new minions. I think that they are a huge help and the comments are funny too!!!!

I second greymalken, either give us options to define the control keys on chrome, or make the arrow keys usable for movement. Current Chrome interface is too cumbersome on laptops which do not have a dedicated numpad like desktops do, and wasd and 1234 for movement and specials just doesn't work. Please do something to change that, so I can try some proper pvp using a machine with a bit more RAM than the measly 370 Mb that my phone has.

You can tap the "show stats" button to toggle between show/hide I believe

I thought that only applied to stats like damage and health. Does it hide kills and deaths too?

Oh you were referring to the Lair, my mistake. Currently the lair does not support this, but I will take a look :vsmile:

You are referring to modifying your char's Inspect Page right?
Like in Sl and PL there's an option to pay two plat to completely hide ur Arena,CTF,dungeon and quest stats.

In a coming update: Up, Down, Left, Right arrows will also be supported for moving your character in Chrome in parallel with WASD.

Awesome Carapace, i dunno if it's much to ask or even if it is possible, but full key remapping would be badass :)

Remapping is a bit more involved with our system, so as a middle ground Arrow Keys have been added to Chrome input support

Please can u either make the skill buttons bigger for android phone or give us the option to resize them bigger. I'm always missing particularly the top and bottom skill. It's funny because I just read a comment wanting them smaller for ipad.
Hell I'd even pay for the option it has such a big impact on my game.
