Okay, so having used this for a while now: it's awful and I hate it. What used to be a quick, seamless process of (for example) opening the Arsenal, hitting triangle for mods, using the D-pad to page through and switch them in and out has become this laborious trial of a thing where you have to hold down a button and drag the mod sloooooowly into place, maneuver the cursor back to the top part, etc etc. All while knowing there was a much quicker, easier system implemented perfectly fine a few days ago. It's genuinely making me not want to play around with builds because using the UI is such a pain. You have to double-'click' a friend's name to invite them, for god's sake. And what gave DE the idea a virtual cursor was even desirable, it's like, I don't think I've played a single recent PC game with controller support that did things this way rather than direct navigation for controllers and a cursor for the mouse. I'm perplexed!
This sums things up really well. The added frustration comes from the fact that two days ago the controller had a fantastic system for navigating all these menus, even though they're complicated. It's hard to understand what the impetus for these changes was. I can't believe the people who came up with it have regularly played on PC with a controller.

Hey guys, new-ish player, first time forum user. Love the game and appreciate the willingness to hear feedback.
The virtual cursor slows down menu navigation significantly on PC. When you used to go into a menu you could very quickly navigate around just by hitting up or down on the left stick/d-pad. There were also button prompts in places like the armory that expedited things like "upgrade", "customize" etc. Now, any time you open a menu, you have to move the virtual cursor from the center position out to where you need it, line it up and hit the button. It's very frustrating. I had a new Frame to claim last night and tried customizing colors but got frustrated and quit out of the game.
Maybe the virtual cursor could be on the right stick, and you could still allow menu navigation the traditional way with the left stick? Also please bring back all of the button prompts, especially in the armory. In my opinion the virtual cursor should be an option that you could turn off to revert to the old scheme.
**EDIT** FYI I was compelled to post in the forums for the first time by how frustrating I found the control changes. This is my first experience with a big UI change so it was very jarring.
**EDIT 2** Another post just reminded me. You used to be able to rotate your frame at any time in the armory with the right stick. Now you have to navigate over there, rotate it around, and then navigate back to what you were doing. It basically makes the rotating function useless. It was also very buggy for me last night.

Has there been any official comment on this? I don't think I've seen a single piece of positive feedback about this new system between here and twitter. It's sucked the joy out of things I used to love like upgrading, customizing, crafting.
Not to mention if you look at most of these comments, they are from people who registered for this site solely because of how frustrated they are with this change (myself included).
