How do you feel about the new UI changes?
Personally I… really don't like them. I know some of the dislike is simply having to get used to the changes but I really don't see why they needed to move the customization tab INSIDE another tab, it just boggles my mind.

Regarding being open to feedback: they definitely read it. "The players don't like the new UI." And then they celebrate and pop champagne because it's working as intended.
Annoyed by the exclamation marks that show you there's new stuff in the store? Working as intended. Edit: This is being removed! https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/discussion/comment/3762764/#Comment_3762764
Annoyed by seeing new characters you don't own yet on top? Working as intended.
It's supposed to be in your face and you are supposed to hate it because a lot of the annoyances can be fixed or mitigated by spending money or opening the store which encourages you to spend money.
Hostile UI isn't new either: redeem code button in the store, battlepass popup on the side, battlepass forcing you to open it to get the items instead of just giving them automatically, thus forcing you to look at the paid tier, news popup for store updates. All of these could work differently or be placed somewhere else without any negative effect on the players.
This isn't an unintentional misstep, it's deliberate and not new.
Can't get use to it. Feels so weird
Thank you for all the feedback! We have been going through everything as a team and coming up with a plan to address some of these concerns in upcoming patches.
Thank you for keeping us posted! That's really heartening to hear.
I like some of the improvements but it feels like I'm controlling a mobile game with a stick. Since it was confirmed checks notes six minutes ago that there'll be more updates in upcoming patches, I hope that they improve the looks department and remove some of the more cluttered aspects of the UI.
So far, I can confirm that the notifications for new outfits is being removed in the next patch, so that should help a little with the clutter. These are not meant to appear outside the store.
The charm selection panel looks like it was added last minute lol. I liked having larger portraits. If you're gonna make it 4 per row, make your character smaller on the right?
I don't like the changes.
And what about menu feedback that you passed to the team? Half of the year passed and nothing changed.
Im not fan of them so I hope they bring the old system back.
The first step would have been to not make obviously bad changes.
Rolling back bad changes is a great second step. If the positive changes outweigh the remaining bad ones then at least it can be a net neutral.
Rolling back all bad changes would be an even better step.
Arguably the most important step is to then learn from the mistakes and to not repeat them.
Very unnecessary change - I hate everything being under a submenu - Especially when it's a tiny button that looks like it belongs in a mobile app.
The only reason I can see this change being needed is if they planned to add a different button where the customization button was. Even so just add a button.
The NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons need to come back please.
There is absolutely no reason to remove them.
I really really hope they take some feedback and fix this mess. Can´t understand how this got released :-(
Please let us save filters as well, or at least fix the character order so that the newest characters are where they're supposed to be.
The customization menu is a mess. It's really weird that they took away the ability to change stuff mid lobby. On top of that, all icons seem to be smaller in-game for some reason, including survivor names which occasionally helped when two people had the same character. Why change the things that work okay and make them bad but leave other problematic things in the game (like tombstone myers) that the community has been screaming about for the past however many years? Also the endgame lobby is also a lot harder to see now as well…
They suck, not a fan at all personally
