Kudo's to the people in the thread who are willing to stay constructive on this one.

Its going to be a hard transition but the intended ideal is that a lot of the former glory will return in some form. But before that both systems need to work on the same code so the sacrifice UI will not become a lousy port overall. Because the system would change either way when the new UI is launched. And even for PC that systenm is going to have startup issues.

This is just something Console players generally do not get. Guess I'm just used to sudden changes like this from how PC updates go. Consoles usually get the more or less polished up stuff.

Dont worry, stuff like this generally gets solved with proper feedback.

The way to have something that works for all systems, is to give everyone all the control schemes and giving them the option to use the one that works best for them, it is not achieved by crippling everyone and then saying "there, you're all the same now isn't that lovely". 

 

It'll take more work on their part, but increase the users enjoyment. Now you take a guess as to whether that'll go better than the current system that got applied of "it'll increase the enjoyment from DE's side and make the users work more". 

 

That's what console players aren't getting.

The geomagnetic reversal is one possibility, another is cultural. You exist in a culture where you think that Canada, Alaska, Russia, Santa Claus' workshop, Greenland, etc. Are at the "top" of the world. In other cultures they'd think that you had it totally wrong. Ancient Egypt comes to mind, that fictional waterworld thing where the map was upside down is probably another. 

 

A good way to think of it, is the way that "real men" do. They're never lost. They always know exactly where they are at any given time. They may not have any clue as to where the rest of the things in the world/star chart are, but really that's not their responsibility is it, to manage where every single thing is? 

 

TL:DR - "Reasons".

That tweet was issued when this thread was well under way as a direct response to a request for a rollback. It's as explicit as you're getting for now.

 

 

"It's as explicit as you're getting for now."? 

Dude. You realise that you are currently reading as though you are making the decisions and statements for DE? I've read your contributions, and I understand that you are trying to play devil's advocate, but seriously; they started the dumpster fire by issuing an "update" that's pretty clearly a significant UI downgrade for most people, let them respond for themselves. 

Many of the changes are counterintuitive, take significantly more effort for what used to be simple tasks, and the main supporting claim that "well if you use a M&K on your console it works pretty well, most of the time" is really ridiculous for most of us. 

 

Even the helpful response that I'll paraphrase as "hey if you want to change the settings to speed up the controller for the UI it makes it suck less" is indicative of the fact that they recognise that the system doesn't work well with a controller. 

 

People have said repeatedly that just giving us back the hotkey bindings for the arsenal/inventory lay out would be an improvement. People have said that being able to toggle "move the cursor around by pretending that you have a mouse, when it really makes no sense to have that cursor in those interfaces unless you have a mouse" would be an improvement. 

Let's leave it at that for DE to respond to, or at least recognise, mmmmmkay?
