2,625 [CLAY] Grygus_Triss Member 3,230 posts 14,185 battles Report post #1 Posted July 9, 2020 I have a problem. See, I like to look at my ships from time to time, mess around with them, outfit them. I love seeing the ship sitting there, bobbing in the water in the background while I'[m messing with stuff. But since 0.9.6, whenever I am on modules, all I see is this grey background, which takes away from the reason I play this game, the awesome models of ships. I can see the ships again if I move to exterior, or port tabs, but I spend most of the time messing about in modules, especially when setting up ships or quickly checking consumables. Additionally, I CANNOT SEE THE MODELS FOR UNPURCHASED SHIPS BEFORE I BUY THEM. You can only see the unpurchased ships in modules, which you can't now... Does anyone know how to fix this? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also don't like for a ship you don't own in the tech tree page, that you need to click once to select it and then again on the right hand side "Preview" button to preview the ship. Liked it better the way it was before. I think i reduced the left click button life on my G703 lightspeed by a very significant amount until I figured out there was a preview button I was supposed to click. Whoops! In case you are not aware in 097 there is a VERY long awaited feature coming to the game. This is one large reason behind the new interface page for equipment I would think. In 097 we are going to be able to completely customise the keys used for consumables. Finally we are going to be able to put heal on the same key for every ship. Gone will be the times when I pop hydro instead of my heal. Well hopefully anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3,347 [TLS] dejiko_nyo Member 4,857 posts 21,287 battles Report post #9 Posted July 12, 2020 Then what is the point of "upgrading all the port visuals in past patches" when you dump the visuals for something bland? Makes such beautiful ports like every other patch. FYI, the only port I am using now is AL room because the my preferred Yokosuka mod is buggy and I couldn't be bother to keep on correcting it. This is one of the issues I have with wg; make something nice only to abandon it later. It is like working without a long term plan. Oh wait, everything they do is without thinking long term. /looks at the sad state of balance and matchmaking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
799 [BLESS] Rina_Pon Member 1,461 posts 12,809 battles Report post #10 Posted July 12, 2020 I see what WG were going for: the old version was cluttered and confusing. Not as bad as the combat missions section, which they arguably fixed reasonably well this patch, but messy nonetheless. The main problem was that the upgrade modules were by default hidden, and the options for the upgrade modules hidden again. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have got a new ship, sailed off into combat with it, and then realized several games in that I'd forgot to equip the modules. That said, the solution has not satisfied the playerbase, to put it mildly. No, @Grygus_Triss, you are not alone. Reaction has been universally negative, and it's the number 1 complaint of 9.6 patch. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have also massacred the Sarushima Base. It used to be cool even at low settings.

The new one looks gloomy and sad. It has lost that good vibe feeling. Lighting, HA! It's darker compared to the old one. The picture above says it all. Gloomy. And I agree with @dejiko_nyo WG / Lesta is just butchering the game lately. No long term strategy. Not listening to feedback. Cower behind closed doors and deaf ears. Forcing players with their unpopular decisions. Avarice more important than customer satisfaction. Edited July 12, 2020 by S0und_Theif 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Sarushima Base used to have a bright colour scheme because it is an anime port. Now apart from the artificial island it is just a regular port. And back on topic, yeah the new modules and upgrades UI is fugly. As a person who actually likes looking at my ships in port, I want to spend as little time as possible with those opaque backgrounds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,406 [151ST] S4pp3R Member 3,555 posts 11,945 battles Report post #14 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Soz @Grygus_Triss, I wouldn't even expect a mod to be able to fix it. Their new UX looks like it was designed by someone with training in mobile device design; not PC UX design. Warships as usual demonstrating their UX is bottom tier. As for colours... Warships has a more gray/stormy wash over it. They often have limited the contrast within each of their maps or bases for thematic reasons, it's extremely common for games and movies set in that time period. Sort of like how The Matrix is overdone on green and Underworld down on saturation and made blue. The problem is as pointed out; it actually looks worse in some ways. The thing that I hate is I'm due an upgrade on my PC (note - laptop is fine) to maintain max specs while watching a billion YT videos. While Warships shouldn't need it their new 'HDR' Ports and battle effects mean I need it sooner rather than later; but I'm holding out for RTX 30-series. The stupidity of that is that it's because they are really poorly optimised, not because they actually need that much power. And this brings it back into my point; their new visuals aren't really HDR, they've just applied different lighting and contrast settings while re-theming the maps. True HDR is about having the foreground visible rather than dark when silhouetted against a bright light; they've done the opposite. It's more in realm of a rebrand than actually improving the product. Some look good, others less so but doesn't change how crud their engine is or how poor their UX and design processes are. But that is another topic. Edited July 12, 2020 by S4pp3R 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, it looks like the beach with a storm about to hit. You know what?
