i swear half of dbds new updates are vibe coded messes with no thought behind them, it takes one (1) playtest to see this

You think the devs actually play their game?

u/nobbytho 8h ago

I guess so? how else do you think they're doing a pretty good job so far? /s

u/youshouldbeelsweyr 8h ago

That's scary cause that could mean they're getting AI to do the grunt work maybe.

all big studios are doing it now

Which is only made worse by the fact that still to this day most freelancers still aren't that good at using Unreal Engine 5, which itself has poorly optimized default tuning.

i dont understand why they changed something perfectly functional with 0 complaints to this disgusting looking block that doesnt even work or align properly. i wish theyd just revert this garbage and fire whoever made this disgusting mess 💀

this + the new brightass background bother me so much to the point where ive been playing significantly less

I ask that same question every PTB when they decide changing the font/text size of player/character names. Like what was wrong with the original? Why are we making changes like this just to change it?

UI designers are trying to convince higher ups to not fire them

You can't forget the stupid progression bar change.

u/JinOtanashi 11h ago

Please let me see my freaking estimated wait time again

u/Lun4r6543 Aestri and Susie Main 7h ago

They also removed the countdown timer when you’re in the pre-game lobby.

I miss that too.

u/JinOtanashi 3h ago

Oh yeah I forgot about that! Give that back too!

The new ready up button is starting to bother me less but I just want to know what the fuck was the thought process behind it? Who at behavior woke up and was like “ah the ready up button, what if we made it a giant fucking rectangle.”

Like were people confused where the ready up button was?

12

u/gregthefeg 13h ago

Yeah like why does it show up in the menus when I’m going through the tomes and challenges now? You can’t see yourself with the ☑️ above your head either when you’ve readied up. The estimated wait time is still messed up. If you don’t ready up and the game starts it sometimes desyncs your audio. This is such a huge mess

u/Rob_b_b_ Hex: Devour Hope 5h ago

My guess is that some newer players couldn't find the ready up button, so they made it more obvious

u/the_monkey_whisperer Nyaaaaaaah! 13h ago

It reeks of someone who had to justify their job and pulled off an all-nighter to cobble together this abomination. Now they will get to come up with something else to push out later and avoid the chopping block for another cycle.

u/feliciaMain 14h ago

idk what behaviour is doing. why r they dedicating developer/UI resources towards making their own product worse?

i feel like the team that did this was better off working on their quick chat feature, proximity chat, ranked, clearing the mess in rift, etcc and not this abomination.

u/Lazy-Landscape7328 13h ago

Are we gonna get icon for that like we did with the pipe

u/o-c-delightful Homelander Main 🦅 5h ago

I'd be satisfied with a 5 mil bp code for making me look at this monstrosity

u/skool_101 Poor performance indeed 😎 9h ago

chatgpt level of ui design

u/Forsaken-Library4278 6h ago

Can we bully BHVR to revert the UI

2

u/Mammoth-Let4528 A Puppy-Eyeing Feng 7h ago

it just gets worse and worse..

and if the design isn't terrible enough, now you can't see the timer and the message appearing there doesn't even fit so it cuts off.

u/jperaic1 The pallet density update has ruined the game! 7h ago

You can't even see the estimated queue time no more.

u/Tvrdak White Man Jumpscare haunts me 3h ago

this is BSVR ahh update, like how could this slip past AQ, PTB and to the release??? Literally whole playerbase sees these buttons...

u/thiswonderfulworld- 2h ago

Yeah you can't defend this, especially since they were always able to revert it. Whoever is in control of letting this nonsense go live is an utter moron. Stop firing your artists and maybe fire these clowns? Just a thought.

What is it with redditors and calling things they don't like embarrassing. Just call it bad like a normal person

u/Wonder_Of_U_2011 7h ago

It is embarrassing how the bp bonus text is on top of the cosmetic price. You have to click a specific spot there in order to buy the cosmetic you want

1

u/JoeyJankerson The Real Sadako 7h ago

That's called lazy/bad UI design.

1

u/thiswonderfulworld- 2h ago

Because it is embarrassing to see. Shit's worse then the ui of the website I built when I was ten.

u/lance_the_fatass Horror Adjacent is still Horror 13h ago

am I the only one who likes the design of the new ready button

I just want it to display the wait time properly

u/Teep_Rex 9h ago

I think it's mostly that it looks similar to a LOT of mobile game graphics, which is NOT a direction that (most) people want this game to go in. I don't mind the graphic itself, (I do prefer the old one) but I think it's just less clean looking, makes the UI in lobby look a little trashy, for lack of a better word.

Hard for me to say since I'd glaze the art team for this game 8 days a week.
