Main Menu Ui

[Symphona]

I know there's a lot of irritation going around about the UI in game (most of which I tend to agree with), but I think there are a variety of areas outside the shooting that could also do with some overhauling.

 

1) The party UI - it's not clear how it's supposed to work, but it doesn't seem to do the job very well. There is no indication about who is the party leader, and there is no way to keep a party alive if the leader chooses to leave.

 

    ) You can't see any new alerts/invasions/outbreaks while in a party without leaving it, which is very frustrating.

 

    ) You can't invite members while looking at the planet map, which means if you attempt to go to an alert via the top left corner notifications, you will likely instantly join someone elses game, rather than having the chance to invite your own group. Instead, you have to find where the alert is, then cancel that, go to that planet, then invite people. This is messy.

 

    ) Related to the above, you can't change your queue mode (online, invite only etc) when you have voted for a map, meaning you can't decide (upon not reaching a party of 4 via invites) to switch to online easily.

 

 

2) The Fitting interface - Can we get each weapon's stats on the same page as the mod fitting? Alright, I may be a scrub who can't remember what damage my weapon does, but having to continually go back and forth into and out of module fitting to see what my gun's stat's are is a pain.

 

    ) I for one can't easily tell the difference between most of the mods on the main mod page - what they are, if they're fitted or not, what level they are - as the icons are just a little small. I'd rather have to scroll or use the handy filtering abilities more often and be able to see bigger mod cards.

 

3) Finally, can everyone get on the same page with back buttons or equivalent? On the mod page it's on the bottom left, arsenal is bottom right, the shop is a small cross in the top right, the key window (from the main menu) has the cancel and use buttons switched...a little consistency can go a long way.

 

Hopefully all this counts as constructive criticism. Anyone else have any small pet peeves like this? The clan section may well have some, I haven't used it much yet.
