Build 129 released!

Did you make it Rainbows? I actually remembered someone posted it already when I saw it today, I though it was Geti showing how will the hud look like. It's basically the same.

 

Sorry for my post, i know some people hate me now (or already :P) but, im not alone when im saying this HUD GOES RIGHT INYOFACE! cauze its way too big... i suggest to have the biggest possible playersbase and make the hud of build 128 and the new one in an option, so that you can choose between new and old one, cauze sorry i dont like the new one at all.

(my first real criterium to this game, bugs glitches all that can be fun on a point.... BUT A HUD INYOFACE which makes me see like 40% of kag and 60% of hud isnt fun anymore)

after 3 day hardcore kaging im going now outside, this hud didnt allowe my eyes to play longer then 10sec.

 

yeah this would aswell be enough, i've decided to take it on my own so far and deleted like the half hud simple^^

 

The way trap bridges work now leads to massive amount of deaths on team traps. As for reasons, I don't even know where to start, it's just a matter of playing a bit to observe that. Was there a reason to change it like that? Seemed working fine.

And yeah, the hud is a bit too big, layout could stay too IMO. But for those who weren't there - MM said on IRC that he's going to sort it out by allowing some sort of customization. There's no need to repeat the criticism I guess.

 

Going along with Czubai's post, it's also opened a whole new opportunity for griefing. Players will stand at the edge of the pit (they don't even have to be on the trap bridge to set it off, just right by the corner of it) and will crouch precisely at the same moment that their teammates are crossing over. In this way, it seems like you can't really have one without the other. Unless you make it so you have to be directly on the bridge to set it off?

 

The chat colors are kind of confusing too, maybe it's a matter of getting used to them though. Is there any other type than 'team', 'teamall', 'enemyall' that may appear?

Yeah, griefing is one of the reasons of people dying on them. Others:
- simple accidents - someone presses S indeliberately - everyone falls,
- someone falls into a pit and jumps to get out - everyone falls,
- the bridge is built near a hole and people have to jump on it from below - it rectracts - even the one trying to get on it will most probably fall in,
- not sure yet, but there seems to be a bug with 1-tile-deep pits - the dead bodies keep the bridges retracted.

I think 1/4 of my team's deaths were on own traps today.. And during 2 hours I had to kick 3 people purposedly, repeatedly making teammtates fall.

Pleaseplease revert the change.

That's what doors are for. You can always make a 2-tile 'service door' to get into a pit.

 

Yes, the gui should be a little smaller with the hearts of a more 'shiny' color and the drawbridges were better in the last build! :)

 

Hmm, It seems with the GUI changed so has the combat, when I go to stab my opponent they are able to get a fully charged slash off faster than I can stab them.. I know it's probably me but it seems like this has happened

 

New HUD looks great. Keep it up!

 

Its ok, pretty good IMO. The chat is iffy tho.

 

I can't tell what's what on chat, i think the hud is too big, and most importantly, when i zoom out as an archer, I can't tell how many arrows I have.

I think the old builder HUD was perfectly functional and better.

Some major issues are still not fixed such as being unable to rearm at the HQ and switching classes doesn't give you right equipment.

 

No offense Geti, but the new HUD feels somewhat masturbatory. From an artistic standpoint, it is a brilliant piece, beautiful and bold with lots of little details etc etc. When I saw it on DRL I pooped my pants a little. But in game, it's hard to appreciate that when it's impeding gameplay. I agree with everyone else, functionality is the most important thing to players.

Edit: Also, I am distraught with the distinct lack of Henry.

 

Not quite sure why you were working on the HUD which was perfectly fine before instead of the more major issues. Like pretty much everyone else I'm gonna go ahead and say I don't like the new HUD. Customization would be ideal, especially moving the chatbox back to the bottom right :x

 

its new get used to it :D
