I would pay money to go back to the old design. I would start a Kickstarter or a GoFundMe. I am not even remotely joking. This update is soul destroying and is killing my eyes, and your “improvements” set to be released are about as effective as a wet fart.
I have a generally positive or neutral view of the UI, with my only concerns being very minor things/QoL matters that have either already been mentioned or have even been fixed already. c:
But I miss the kingdom icons on troops as well, partially because I can’t always remember what kingdom they’re from. Plus, I just liked seeing the symbols there.
Just seeing this comparison it’s so clear to me the UI team made a mistake.
I realize time and money were spent on the new look, but it was clearly a mistake.
Sometimes you have to suck it up and admit you made a mistake.
Revert back to the old UI before your income stream dries up while you defend a mistake.
I’m not saying this to be mean, I just want the game to survive so I can keep playing it with what’s left of my guild.
Well, add me to the list of people turned off by this update for pretty much every reason that’s already been stated here. Rank 600 VIP level player and I haven’t played so many OTHER games I’ve had in a week than I have this past week.
I’m sure it’s been said before too, but the new traitstone art is awful. I can’t quickly look at them and know what they are, know if they’re something I need.
Graphically, there’s very little that’s appealing right now. Seems some of the load screens are quicker, which is nice, but, man, I just don’t even know what to say about this mess.
Here’s to hoping they consider all of the feedback they’re getting here and change things back.
They changed how the bonuses are displayed, so make sure you’re accounting for that. They used to show a multiplicative bonus, now they show an additive bonus.
For example, I used to show 250% bonus gold. Now I show +150%. This is the same amount, because your “default” is always 100%. 100 gold x 250% = 250 gold, and 100 gold + 150% = 250 gold.
If you adjust for the change in how values are displayed and your percentages are still off, post in support or put in a ticket. I haven’t heard of anyone’s bonuses actually changing, but a lot of people have been confused about the difference in how they’re written now.
I guess my suggestion would be: understand what you’re changing and have accurate patch notes. Having elspeth suddenly consistently sac’ing the last troop without a note is a frustrating thing to discover during a gw
Watch out next week with the unique troop in defense, i expect plenty bugs, it will probably not work. i predict the team will keep changing for nothing and it will be locked so you won’t be able to change it for the good team
I had the same problem. I accidentally found that it works, only you have to click “All colors” instead of “Any color”. Which is really stupid, because you would think that “all colors” gives you all possible combinations of requested mana color. They should have just put “all” for all possible combinations of the color and “selected” to get only colors you chose.
Don’t hold your breath, it’s not happening. Sirrian already said they won’t change anything. Which is amazing, considering how insanely bad and screwed up this downgrade was. But I guess some people just can’t admit they made a mistake. It must be that all the players that gave their feedback here are nuts when they can’t see how awesome this new so called “design” is.
On that note… It would be good if we get a possibility to order cards by the level from the lowest to highest. Right now if I want to see which of my cards are lowest in level, I have to choose filter by level and then scroll all the way down. When you get few new cards and want to upgrade them, you have to scroll down 200-300 cards every damn time because game just returns you to the beginning after upgrading.
It would be interesting to see global treasure hunt stats. I have a hunch turncounts went down. Mine did, anyway. Somehow it’s harder to keep prolonged attention on the field now.
I note there is still no way to determine what kingdom a troop is from based on their card. (Unless you memorize the card backgrounds, which you can sometimes see. Just curious: what is the point of the kingdom crests now?)
Also, still no way to multi sort. (ex: Sort by rarity and level.)
Also, still no way to sort by number of traits upgraded.
The new star system to show a kingdom’s level is undiscernible on a mobile phone.
When sorting guild membership by latest activity, there is no way to tell what that latest activity was (i.e. 2 days, 16 days), though I assume they are being sorted correctly.
When I fought my dungeon battles today, the game locked up at the won resources screen. After each battle, I had to reload the game. The battle registered as fought, and I assume I earned the proper rewards. Pain, though.
Thumbs down on the card art. I want my cards to look different. I worked hard enough to get them to mythic and I want a darn big reward for my effort That little border at the top and bottom doesn’t do it.
That’s enough for now. There have been some hard to swallow updates to this game, but this is by far the most difficult. I’m not very happy with the game right now.
If that’s a fact, then we are probably doomed. The hideous, bland, black and white icons have MS written all over them. Difficult to imagine them approving color, and character, without putting up a fight. In fact, it might even have been ordained thus…
to be perfectly fair, i would say it matters not what they tried to do. while it is fine and good to want to improve functionality and playabilty, this ui update was a failure. the hours i used to spend enjoying GoW is now spent wandering aimlessly thru these forums, hoping to find a post with some encouragement that GoW will return to a playable format. unfortunately i no longer believe that will happen.
I would appreciate it if the default option for searching by color was “all”. This filter is typically used with multiple colors because you want to fill a certain slot to ensure color diversity in your team or to search for a troop for your guild war team. In both cases you’ld want to use the “all” option. In fact, I can’t, off the top of my head, think of an actual use case for the “any” option.
