New UI is garbage.

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

Why would one time use things like wonder powers and troop tactics come before things that may be used multiple times like war tactics and your regular troops? I only use ht's, a zook, 7 footies for raids so if the UI adjusts itself based on the number of different units used while staying on the screen that's commendable, but the order is still very questionable.

I suppose the idea is that most folks are right handed? Still seems like your multi-use and drop things should be away from your one-timers.

Edit: UI is garbage seems sort of click-baity. UI is nonsensical seems more appropriate.

The new UI is COMPLETE and UTTER garbage. The best part of the old UI was that planes are aligned left for easier access. You knew where planes were 100% of the time, and switching between planes and troops is vitally important during combat.

Now planes are somewhere between 2 and 4 spaces from the left, depending on which wonder tactics you have? How many times are we going to mess this toggling up?

Grouping up of all tactics made sense: They're on the right, and all tactics work well together.

WHY WOULD TROOP TACTICS BE IN BETWEEN PLANES AND REGULAR TROOPS? How confusing is that? All day long I use a group of troops in multiplayer in a fixed layout, but now during wars (when I add troop tactics) the whole order gets shifted?

I don't know what prompted these changes, but so far they are horribly considered.

1. It will be harder to toggle between planes and other units since the position isn't fixed
2. There's a separation between War Academy Tactics and Wonder tactics, and there's no reason for it. All tactics should be considered the same
3. Troop Tactics shouldn't be placed at a higher priority than "regular" troops because it will result in differing layouts between multiplayer and wars

GARBAGE

Garbage, period. This change is retarded, bring back old troop tray, or let us customize tray order.. I can't wait to accidentally drop wonder tactics in pvp, then go with nothing in war. Who asked for this shit? Nobody. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Wow, what a terrible update. Was this even beta tested? The troop selection is seriously flawed now. For starters, the wonder tactics being right next to the most commonly Clicked and misclicked troop, “planes” means that many will not have them available for wars, bc of fat fingers. Troop cards will also be misclicked, that will also impact wars...And why are donated troops and mercs so far apart? These are more often used at the same time. I really don’t understand the logic in this update. The lead person on this should be demoted or fired... everybody in my alliance hates the new troop selection, some have already lost there wonder tactics or deployed troop cards by mistake! This is a serious blunder, please revert back ASAP~!

 

[Net55]

Obviously the person in charge of this update doesn’t play the game at all. Because it’s only logical in theory. If this was beta tested with actual players, the critical flaws would of been scrapped early on.

Now if the goal was to get people to accidentally use troop cards, we’ll that may work, and should result in more purchases... at least at first. My guess is over time people will just not load them if think they will not need them. And when they do load them, it won’t be for pvp, war only. Less money spent over time.

Thanks for the notes so far! Please keep the feedback coming as you experiment with the new ordering. I understand there is some immediate frustration; changes in how you're used to interacting with a system usually feel off at first. But, I'm looking forward to additional feedback as you have more battles under your belt.

As with any design change, It's entirely possible that the new ordering isn't the improvement we thought it would be and we will be monitoring your feedback and discussing.

In what world is putting troop tactics in front of anything else in the troop bar an improvement? (other than the 'let's have some players accidentally waste troop tactics so they have to buy more' world, aka. Nexon scamland)

Anything that is a one time use button (troop tactics, wonder tactics) obviously belongs to the end of the bar. Anything that is multiple use (planes) should be at the beginning of the bar. This is so that eventually you have less scrolling to do during the battle. If you have trouble seeing the reasons for this then you do not play this game regularly...

The real upgrade would be letting us customize the order of the bar. That is what people have been requesting, not this nonsense reorganizing.

Thanks for your efforts to improve our game.

I take onboard the notion of adjusting for change, but echo some of the concerns already mentioned and add some:

• 'wonders' are effectively tactics, so why place them at the opposite end from other tactics? Their usability is very similar.
• Planes and rally together made logical sense as regularly reusable items during the latter stages of battles. Keeping them separated by precious wonder tactics that for most world war fighters you desperately do NOT want to accidentally hit during a regular MP battle is not good at all. Glad I've got Atomium, I'll be needing it...
• TTs between regular troops and planes feels weird, we'll probably adapt to this one, I'm just not sure what the logic is. TTs will change more regularly than your standard group composition so it will mean less certainty.
• Why do airstrip units and donated units both have blue backgrounds now? I've been trying to work out what they have in common and failing...

It would be interesting to know what the goals were of these changes and how you think the new version achieves this?

Personally I would have welcomed consistency on the right-hand side of the bar with TTs right at the end. I'd be interested to hear what others think.

I've been playing for nearly as long as the games been out (4 years?) and I read these forums, Dominations Facebook pages and Reddit's Dominations subreddit every single day. I have never read anyone request this kind of redesign. It is very obvious whoever thought up this disaster does not play this game.

BHG_Muet, perhaps you could give us a breakdown on the thought process that went into this fiasco.

I only have one hand this new update is far worse try moving the screen drop troops scroll the troop tray get back to the screen this new way is a joke

 

[Gears]

Reduce Icon/Button size and make a doubled-layered(2 Rows) troop tray. It will reduce scrolling significantly and make all the troops/tactics more accessible for faster deployment or use.

Like Old troop tray, keep Planes next to Rally Button as they are used constantly over buildings/defenders once you deploy your ground troops.

P.S.- 'Upvote/Like' my post if you like my suggestion.

 

[MLMMLK]

THIS NEW TRAY LAYOUT “UPGRADE” IS JUST PLAIN DUMB! Even when we get use to it, it makes no sense!! Elephant dung!!!

 

[No Angel]

Well, I didn't expect it would be like this but good thing I only use hts and decoys/betrayals
Would like to see second row though.
Love it, now Blitz in front! Wouldn't forget it anymore/misuse it thinking it was betrayal.

​​​​​We'll see...

Anyways, lag still occurs. And Asia (iOS) was barely playable, what's the issue?

This is by far the worst part of this game at the moment. Nothing more than a way to mess up a player than to change where everything is located. I hate to say this but guys these updates are really only getting worse.

 

[Rwit1]

Add me to the list of people hating this. Planes and tactics should be on the end. Then troops or mercs and donated troops, troop tactics should be last. That is what people use in order of use in battle after deployment. Total stupidity update. All it will accomplish is people accidentally deploying troop tactics which will generate more revenue

 

[kilgore_trout]

Looks like muet woke up grandpa in the middle of his nap. I cant believe the passion you guys can muster over suddenly being required to look where your fat fingers are going.

 

[HawkEyeHK]

I agree what the others said, they just hope that you to drop a few troop tactics in pvp accidentally, so that you have to buy more to refill.

Grouping the items together by category is nice, but putting troop tactics in between regular troops and planes is pure evil.

 

[MLMMLK]

Well, Nexon’s scheming strategy got me! I wasted two troop cards. Since I rarely use TT in MP battles, I will no longer bring any going forward. You will not get me again...

Make it easier for people with one hand the way you have it now makes it harder than before. I stopped doing wars well I will be honest mostly because the matchups are a joke then the rebalance screwed things up , then had an accident and lost the use of one hand so no it is almost impossible to get troops out move the screen scroll the troop tray . I challenge you to try doing an all out attack with one hand and no cheating by using the other
