I see a lot of people complaining about the new Mech Select and how they wish they could have the old one back.

Do you mean like this?

I know it's not perfect, but please don't complain if you haven't tried it yet.

WHile it's better than the new mech select, all the old wall needed was the filtering option.
There was no reason to remove it.

You did watch the video, yes? Seems like you replied too fast to have actually watched it.

Forget I asked if you actually did watch it.

Your image is returning "403 Forbidden"

Sounds like someone has been naughty...

Liked old mechlab selection, what gives?

[Radbane]

It's really not the same as the new "grid" forces you to chose IS or Clan and a weight class. The old one just showed them all ina big nice list you could scroll down and go "ooooh, this one ... I haven't driven this one in a while".

The new system requieres you to actually know what your looking for and requires a lot more clicking. No more spontanous choices.

Whats a mech select without a bit of mystery.




I am kidding. I just watched the podcast with the new Ui and it doesnt seem so bad. In game honestly I really do have all my mechs built so I dont really need to use the new UI. Poked at it a bit and its not so bad.

Just like UI 2.0 not everyone is happy with it and it will be updated to repair any problems.

Is it new player friendly? They must have tested that.

I actually prefer having Clan and IS split out. In the PTS though you could select Clan and IS at the same time (like check boxes instead of radio buttons). People are acting like there is no grid at all. As I said:

Edit:
Also, I usually selected Light, Medium, Heavy, and Assault when I was "browsing" just to keep myself from getting overloaded. Sometimes, I'd start back at Light if nothing caught my interest my first time through.

You mean the ability to open windows and sort mechs by class? In a tiny window that takes up about 20-25% of my screen?

And then the next time you open Mech Select, ten seconds later, the game has already forgotten your viewing preferences, so you have to click a few extra times each time you go into Mech Select? And every time you start the game, you have to start over?

Yeah, I've tried that. The new UI doesn't really need more clicking, I think. But at least they're going to fix it at some point.

I've found switching to another mech in between matches is more inconvenient in the new UI. I've suggested adding a 'recently used mechs' entry to the mech select list.

I purchased the Grf-2n last night just so I could give the new UTI a proper run through. Honestly I am liking it quite well and all the complaints that I am seeing are non existent. To view all the mechs in the menu select all, now its a bit smaller than old but it's still there. Now I agree that there are a couple more clicks but you have more and clearer options now.
Can we not keep our 4 fav mechs on the home page just for the quick grab and go runs?

We asked for filters and now we have filters and now every one moans.

Well I like it. Thanks PGI now can we have about 12 new maps ASAP.

I'm liking the new Mech Select ... sure makes it a LOT easier to find Modules now!!

No I did watch it.
What I'm saying is that there was no reason to redesign the entire mech select screen
