I feel like the side stones being only on one side is gonna f**k up a lot of mobile players.
It's definitely going to be a change, especially for those that are familiar with the current layout and that is exactly why we are having a Beta, so you can all get your hands on it and give us your first-hand feedback :)
I know developping flexible UI is a nightmare, but are we considering a "mirrored" mode? Some people might feel better having the stones on the left rather than on the right.
Either way, great work and I can't wait to see what comes out of it :)
I know there have been some concerns from predominately left-handed players but the J-Mod in the videos is actually left-handed themselves and feels that is change still feels great to play.
Can we have the option to have the old stones' look? The grit of the original design is sorely missed here.
We're not against this idea, but we wanted to ensure that there was some consistency across the visual of Mobile, so if we were to give you the old look, we'd need to implement that in a clean and consistent way across all interfaces.
I'm sorry but I'm disappointed that this won't be optional. I've played mobile for 5 years, and have done almost all of the hardest content on mobile without a problem with the ui. This is it for me. The layout of the tabs on both sides will just make pvm harder. You know that old saying: "why fix it if it ain't broke". Can't believe you didn't poll this.....
This isn't something that we're going to implement until we're confident that the majority of people are happy with this change. It's exactly why we're giving you more justification with this blog and having an Open Beta and more feedback and consultation before this goes live!
So confirmation bias from one dev gets to decide for all left handed players, got it.
This was just to give some extra information and is exactly why we are having a Beta, so we can find these pain points after you've had a hands-on experience with the New UI.
I'm overall excited to try out this update as I play almost entirely on mobile. I'm wary, like a lot of players, but the video showcases help a lot with seeing how it works.
For the hotkey functions, anything close to Menu Entry Swapper on RuneLite would be amazing!
The whole thing is still a bit confusing, and I appreciate that a beta will be implemented first.
Yeah, this was one of the main problems with the original blog, as it didn't give you much perspective on how it would look/work and didn't contain much justification as to the 'why' either.
On a sided note, reading the blog is really difficult on mobile. Could we get some mobile styles for the blog css?
Can you explain what specifically makes it difficult? I'd be really keen to know!
Please let us toggle the old and new layouts. I genuinely think I would use both depending on what I’m doing in game. Not to mention this way you won’t upset the many players who aren’t keen on a change
There are no current plans to give you a toggle-option between the UIs and would rather make sure this is in a place where it's being well-received as the current UI has multiple issues that limit expansion and improvement for Mobile.
