I can't work with UI 2.0 - I just don't have time to figure out how this works. So maybe we should have an option to choose which one we would like to use. Shouldn't be a problem to implement this in a couple days.

[Chill Bill]

Well, I like the eye/ear candy in UI 2,0. HOWEVER, what is sorely needed is an option to view full loadout, etc. on one screen (as in UI 1.X). To many steps added to view anything or get anything done. Also, after match player should return to chosen mech rather than having to select it again.

Oh, and why don't I see my Founders Tag in-game anymore? It's checked and I do see other' tags at match startup.

Was this thing even playtested focused grouped or ANYTHING?

Honestly I'm a 4X game player so I'm used to lots of menus and sub menus but FOR FRACK'S SAKE!

[CDLord HHGD]

I like 2.0, lots of eye candy and functionality. It's not without it's problems though. UI2.1 should hammer out some of the issues....

As far as Founders tags go, I have had to repeatedly select show founders tag. Every 10 games or so it just goes away, not sure why, but it is kind of annoying. I guess just keep reselecting it until they fix the problem.

Also, they are going to add a Smurfys style loadout screen coming to Ui 2.0, or so I heard from another fairly trusted member of the forums. This should show you all parts and equipment in one screen so im looking forward to that.

Poll is super biased.

You need responses for the following, at a minimum:

- No, we need to wait for PGI to roll out the UI2.0 improvements that are already scheduled.
- No, but PGI should fix certain broken aspects ASAP.

In general, though, UI2.0 should be far easier for PGI to change, and will enable them to implement so many future features that any kind of UI rollback is impossible.

[JeepStuff]

Foolish poll, poorly worded. I vote "No to 1.5, be patient for 2.0 to be fixed"

[Enzane]

I agree. but you are not going to see a 2.0 Rollback.

Not going to happen. What you will see is constant progress. Report all those problems. And we will get hotfixes and patches as time goes by.

UI 2.0 has too much invested in it for them to roll back to 1.5.
Also, since 2.0 uses a different programming system then 1.5 it's going to have issues. Give them some time to stamp them out.

And trust me, no one is happy about 2.0.

Simply put, there needs to be more information about the loadouts of mechs, ESPECIALLY in the store. Things missing;

• While overall counts of hardpoints are listed, where the hardpoints are located are missing.
  
• Engine type installed.

Don't want to "go back" because that would stall development.
Don't want to select "I like 2.0" because it's actually shit.

[MisterPlanetarian]

The only bad parts about UI2.0 is the mechlab and the button sounds.

[SilverMalachite]

Well it looks and feels great...

Its the little things letting it down.

• When I go to buy a Battlemech, I cannot see it... Or its load out & specs/ Everything I should be able to see before a purchase. (Only a pic)
  
• I still have the problem of trying to find what I have and where it is.
  
• Not being able to press launch with a pre-selected mode...
  
• Camo Not being named & Colours.
  
• Not having all the info about "my" Battlemech in the pop-up screen in Mechbay.
  
• 
  

Thank you, Keep it up

Yes, remove UI 2.0 and come back...and start off with
putting the horse where it belongs in front of the cart!
Such as being able to choose the right Battlemech for the map drop. Something every single Mech Sim' since MW2 has afforded its players. Makes perfect sense to everyone except the PGI think tank. And you can even call it UI 3.0!

[Exilyth]

Actually, UI 2.0 is a bit better than Ui 1.0, although the (lack of) organisation in the mechlab is a mess. For building a mech, it is most crucial to see information about installed components in all locations. That's definately a point which could be improved upon, but I'd rather have UI 2.5 or maybe even UI 3.0  than UI 1.0.

Old UI would be such an improvement over this crap it would actually make the game playable again.

[Thalos]

I cant figure out how this got out of testing in house without people saying...oh wait this is crap, there is so many things that require 2-3 click menus that the old UI presented right in front of you before. That kind of logic is what just makes me scratch my head and wonder who is making the decisions on UI rollouts.

[Roland]

I think it's kind of a false dichotomy to think the only options are the original UI and UI 2.0... They are both bad.

The real solution is to have PGI revamp 2.0 to be more usable.

[Armament]

I can't believe that any founder likes 2.0. It's a complete downgrade from 1.5.

@Dontor Your founder's tag comes off if you adjust settings while in a match.

[Livewyr]

Did not vote in stupidly biased poll.

2.0 is an upgrade, if you quit looking only for the flaws. *frowns as he remembers scrolling endlessly through every single mech to find a particular mech*

It has its problems, as have noticed PGI, they are refining it.

Cease making an *** of yourself.
