So, I Just recently started playing the PC Beta for Battleborn. And during my first few hours I noticed a few minor issues that are quite minor on their own. But are cumulatively irritating.
First off, when you are altering your loadout in the game the system for moving particular items in and out of slots can be very cumbersome. I am not sure what could be done to fix it at this time. Second, whenever a pop up (i.e. notices, confirm quit, save loadout, etc.) appears, you need to either hit Enter (YES), or Escape (NO). Or you can click on the letters to the same effect. My main issue here is that if you go to click on either option the “button” is quite small and can be rather irksome to deal with if you are seeing it constantly. I believe the “issue” (such that it is) could be easily resolved by adding an actual visual “button” for each option.
At any rate, if you have noticed any pieces of the UI that are Irksome or off-putting Please, feel free to post them below.
the hitboxes on the menu buttons don’t seem to scale with the resolution if you change the resolution which can make it difficult to navigate with a mouse. this behaviour only seems to correct itself when you restart the game completely (playing a match and returning to the front end won’t fix it)
It would be very nice to be able to drag and drop the gear in/out of the slots but it is probably the way it is because it is simpler for the potatostation users to move the gear with a controller. Maybe some time in the future they can add multiple ways to move gear in the same build of the game.
Navigation in general in big menus is tedious because of the console compatibility as well, and has been for a very long time, such as all the Borderlands games.
I agree with the loadout complaints. The interface there is terrible. I spent way too much time trying to figure out how to swap one gear for another. Make use of drag and drop, come on!
The buttons look like a developer version, to be honest. If only some UX designer could step in and make it more usable for PC…
