New HUD Feedback: WAY too spread out compared to the compact, simple, and stylistic design before.

Hi there, this is just friendly feedback. No hate.

The current HUD gives plenty of information in the bottom left corner without being overwhelming. Out of all the things in OG DBD, this was actually one of the better things to stick around. By looking in just one area, I'd know how many gens are left, see my item/power, my item charges/power charges or cooldown, the status of survivors (that had simple art making it very easy to identify the status of survivors immediately upon seeing them), and the current objective. All of this was nicely organized and very user friendly.

The new HUD is much too spread out. Having generators on the top, power/item in the bottom left, survivor statuses on the top left that no longer have easily identifiable art indicating survivor status...there's too much being spread on the whole screen, when all of it (as shown with the current HUD) can be placed in one area, giving a bunch of useful information at once, but again, without it being overwhelming to look at.

Having to look all around my screen for little individual pieces of the UI is...awkward. It doesn't look good, and the new portraits of survivors look..off, on the UI.

I am totally down for some new UI, but I feel this version being tested is not the right move.

  • Yeah. I'm hoping they have some other options because the new information idea is good, but yeah, that new AI is not gonna be helpful
