Gotcha, I admit I was trolling a little
. Just trying to match the energy since he was bashing the game in every post so far, and refused to follow the sollutions.

Re: Give it up
When your programmers had a certification of microsoft certified professional they would have been tought about minimum requirements for an UI. At least I was, when I passed this 20 years ago. This were five points if I remember correctly.
I can tell a good UI from a bad one, because I was certified for building database frontends for windows applications.
One of the is accessability. You want it to be accessible even for people with disabilities. Easy to read, see and options to enlarge for people that have impaired visibility.
Usability was another. Have it work with both mouse and shortkeys and so on... Maybe soon usabiltiy will also include voice commands as standard way to access a game.
We have a saying here in Germany: The fish stinks from the head.
And concerning your remarks on the UI the problems most certainly stem from the lead designer(s).
In a working invironment, where people need be most productive this UI would be a disgrace for the company.
But in the gaming community you can get away with murder...

Oh my God. I would not advertise that if I were you. Microsoft UI guidelines on autopilot lead to extremely boring programs only suitable for bald IT persons.Laboratorium wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2024 2:50 pm I can tell a good UI from a bad one, because I was certified for building database frontends for windows applications.
Re: Give it up

What Zak said.
I'm going to lock this thread - there is very little constructive in it, and it's getting unpleasant.
