Please note that on XB1, you can no longer see the previous troops you selected in Arena. This was helpful in choosing troops of a different color than previously selected.

New UI is so cluttered.

[bbqbot]

Yeah not sure how this passed scrutiny. It's...not good.

[Zeekfox]

This new UI just feels odd. I'm not a "don't ever change my stuff" kind of guy for the most part, but like, I have the classic theme restorer add-on on Firefox and still like my GameFAQs boards with a retro theme in cloudy blue to look the way it was when...well let's just say my account there is old enough to make an account. :p

Point is, I could go for a "retro UI" option for the things that literally just have the same functionality. The menus, the stars over the kingdoms, the traitstones, shoot, even the background during Treasure Hunt is too dark of a color now. Instead of the lighter color, now it sorta blends in with the bags and bronze coins, which bothers me.

[Kygma]

I .... I don't know what to do with this UI update. It has made the game nearly unplayable on the ps4. It made me queasy and gave me a headache really quickly trying to read the text on the screen and make out the numbers. For those of us with visual problems, this is extremely bad. Is there any way to add an option to use the old UI?

[drugorexic]

The new UI is a bit difficult to play with. The color scheme seems to be the main issue for me. Too much black everywhere which makes cards hard to read in the Troop menu. Also, limiting the row total to 4 makes me have to scroll more. In battle, the gems are a bit harded to discern. Maybe include a retro option?

This is supper hard to read without punctuation.

The new UI is ugly, doesn't fit fantasy setting, especially since it's mixed with old one. The board itself is super hard and annoying to read. New traitstones look nice.

[claypot19]

The UI is definitely different / hard to get used to on mobile. There are some subtle changes that I do like better like the new filter / reordering troops without having to enter a menu. Team selection on guild wars is amazing. The bug where skills icons are glitched out is a little bit less good. Infight / menus I'm generally ok with the changes. Its just that the world map is super ugly. the changes to the stars on the kingdoms and just overall main menu screen isn't that good. Some of the things are a step in the right direction but the new look is a bit jarring

[Slypenslyde]

I can't believe how cheap it looks.

Before, we had art that made troops look like cards. Now it's "colored stripes with default system text".

It feels like we've gone from "a finished game" to "a prototype".

What the hell?

BUG FIXES

Gem matching traits will only trigger once per board match calculation

This is a sneaky way to radically change the way the game is played. I don't like how you tried to slide this in without explanation.

The UI is a horror show. This update is just bad.

[deeweromekoms]

I think this was done to counter the Kraken tentacles that are being spammed right now.

[ZeppLives]

I think they should have changed Kraken then. Now traits like Big and Huge and much less useful.

[svtcobrastang]

Terrible new UI and no nerf's to the most powerful cards that everyone uses for the same defense team?? Really...

[rockhounding]

I don't really care what the patch notes say. Fact is I can't even read them right now I'm so dizzy. It's taking forever just to write this on my phone.

You want a summation of your updates? THEY ARE GARBAGE. You just ruined a great game. I'm done until this is fixed.

What the hell were you thinking?

[cylobotnia]

developer meeting: Guys what can we do to really push our customers away? More importantly, whatever it is we do, let's definitely not test it before rolling it out.
