New UI is garbage.

[Tsamu]

I'll put my 2c in. I would like the order to be, from left to right, rally then airstrip aircraft, which are locked in place, i.e., they don't scroll. Then wonder tactics, troop tactics, coalition army, alliance army, mercenaries, generals, war tactics and finally factory/barracks troops. Once all the troops from a slot are dead, that slot disappears, rather than remaining with a zero count.

 

[Saruman the White]

Let the game allow us to customize the order so everyone would be happy

 

[Flailer]

Yeah, agree with the sentiments on the changes. Do it again...

And, I'll say make a plug here: please use US as your resource. This is something that could have super easily been submitted to the community to say "Hey, how can we improve the troop order?" We'd argue about it for a while and probable come up with something useable or some change ideas and you can implement it. Seriously - 100k+ players playing 24 hours a day is a good resource for playability issues.

I want to see my army stats all the time, to see how many are still alive. Now 50% is hidden on the right of the screen and I need to scroll.

Also, deploying my army requires me to scroll, so loosing time during deployment

= BAD IMPROVEMENT. Rollback please.

 

[Ludog]

I have not read all the comments but I agree with those I have read. Total BS in my opinion. Nexon is hoping we keep TTs in the line up so we can "Accidently" deploy troops that cost money... I vote for a customized troop tray so if you are a lefty or righty you make it the way you want it. Kinda like Burger King use to be.

 

[BeerMan]

I appreciate that they made the tray fixed rather than variable (old tray added wonders/TT at the end based on the order you added them, which was not always ideal). However, the ordering of the fixed list seems like darts were randomly thrown at a board. It is especially bad for MP, where you don't generally use TT or wonders.

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

Yeah. The problem seems to be getting worse everyday. I used to encounter such bases every few days now I see several of them a day in all ages. I reported one who was actually in an alliance with an English name last Thursday. This means I can actually monitor them. As of today they're still going strong with more than half of their buildings upgrading having gained roughly 20 levels since I reported them.

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.

You obviously don't participate in wars much if at all. The new layout doesn't make any kind of logical sense for how you deploy troops and tactics. It adds to scrolling back and forth and increases chances of using wonders during mp. This design is a step in the wrong direction. That's why we're passionate. We want to win wars not just farm resources.

 

[Esiebert7625]

Horrendous layout, Should be optimized to minimize scrolling, Get rid of those damn TT in the middle, they maximize scrolling as if you have them loaded and don’t end up using them you have to keep scrolling past them to access other troops.

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

I'd personally go for something like this:

Rally - Aircraft - Regular Troops - Academy Tactics - WonderPowers - Big Red Button - Generals - Mercs - Donated Troops- Coalition Troops- Troop Tactics

I only use fighters and 3 or 4 troop types at most so scrolling hasn't been an issue for me. However this keeps the things that you may use multiple times at multiple stages of the battle on the left side of the UI while putting most of the one-timers to the right. I could also see wonder powers and BRB being shunted to the right, but was trying to keep them grouped together.

 

[skychan]

If you are not going to let us customize it at least put things in a reasonable order such as...

Rally button, Planes, Troop Tactics, Wonders, Troop Cards, Coalition troops, Alliance troops,then finally all regular war troops. This at least would have one benefit. The single use troop drops would ALL be on the far right. So once you use it it is done and out of mind.

Start of battle? On the right end of the bar dropping all your troops, and then you scroll left. You only need to move the bar ONCE.

Mid to late battle? Everything you need is still visible without scrolling, the rally, planes, and all tactics are still available. No need to scroll left to use a plane, right to drop a tactic, left to get to a plane etc.

 

[skychan]

I have to say my number 1 concern is having to scroll back and forth. This when combined with lag can be absolutely killer.

My personal suggestion is to put all types of troops far right and start with the bar scrolled right, so once you deploy they are done and only have to scroll ONCE.

My favorite suggestion that I've seen so far is of course a customizable bar.
My second favorite is the idea of two rows so everything is always on the screen. - With the addition of being able to move the screen slightly further down so you can still attack from the bottom of a base for deployment.
My third favorite is that the Rally and ALL AIRCRAFT are FIXED on the left side and the rest of the bar would scroll but they would always be visible.

But what I do not want to see is anything that makes me have to keep moving back and forth to get at unused resources during a battle. That is what this currently appears to do.

 

[Bootney Lee Fonsworth]

We've known for quite some time that none of you folks at BHG/Nexon actually play this game, at least not in the sense that an actual player does. Do you have to go out of your way to prove it with every.......single......update though?

 

[zumbul]

While I don't like posting on a forum post that uses the word "Garbage" as a description of a problem, it seems to be the one that's catching the eye of the community managers, since BHG_Muet has posted here, and as such it has to be the right place.

The Obvious Problem: The Troop Tray Redesign. The Troop Tray did need some help as scrolling back and fourth made it harder to deploy troops. BHG/Nexon took the right step in trying to address it. In the Update Notes in the App Store it states the following: "The troop tray has been slightly reorganized to make deployment of troops more fluid." Unfortunately, the only thing that is "more fluid" are users phones from cursing after deploying Troop Tactics and Wonder Tactics when not necessary. [some could argue that the bottom-line of BHG/Nexon could also be more fluid in result of that]

A Possible Solution(s): If you really want to make troop deployment more fluid, single tap things such as War Academy Tactics, Stronghold Troop Tactics & Wonder Powers should not take up the prime (left-most) real-estate of the Troop Tray. A Possible Solution would be to have Wonder Powers & War Academy Tactics have their own tray, perhaps in smaller format cards, right above the troop tray, either on the right side (horizontal) or left side (vertical). That will (mostly) prevent scrolling, thus in reality making "deployment of troops more fluid", as it will require less scrolling if any.

And if that's too much work, just revert it back to the way it was, please don't antagonize the community more than it already is.

 

[Bogroll]

The new troop try is like having a spider raise its young in your nose...it is painful and doesn’t have a happy ending. I would beg to have it changed but I suppose that would be pointless. Having said that...I beg you to bring back the old tray. Regards, your loyal supporter and friend, Bogroll.

 

[Vojec]

Why on earth, you change the GUI of unit order ?????????? After 5 years and now you decide to change, for what???? Bugs, not working??!?!?!
My suggestion: better fix bugs in the game and leave less relevant thing aside!!!!
So please change it back, coz now I'm searching thing like in big supermarket!!!!

 

[Urbano]

The power of pleasure destruction Nexon is capable of providing to players with each upgrade is impressive.

Who did you consult to come to the brilliant conclusion of changing the order of the troop bar? tactics are opposed to reunion, and planes in the middle of everything, TT before the troops, leaving that useless space in the middle of combat.

Looks like the trainee, who just started playing Dominations, and tank attack gave the hint, and some director found the idea wonderful. CONGRATULATIONS NEXON for maintaining the quality standard in spoiling the game. and we go with PAY TO WIN every day stronger and more present! ... amen!

 

[Berend_War]

So many post to like. This must be a bug. Horrible change in the troop order when attacking. Please rollback asap.

 

[Dvicious]

I also REALLY dislike the new tray order. Either make it customizable or return it to the way it was. Currently it requires way too much scrolling to deploy troops.

As others have asked, what problem was this solving? Also why was this prioritized above a comprehensive attempt to limit cheating?

 

[The Brigg]

I just created an account here just to comment on this.

First of all I love the game, so kudos for that!

However this rearrangement is IMO a step backward.
I’ve had 3 complete wipes today, where that normally happens maybe once a week.
Some of that may be accountable to not being used to the layout. But I also used the remaining troop count to monitor the ongoing battle (someone already mentioned this before me). Since the troops are now to the far right, they fall off the screen since I because I need to scroll far left for rally. This way I have less feeling with the battle.

Second thing that bothers me is the placement of Troop Tactics and Wonders. Troop tactics should be somewhere to the right, they are only used once in battle and (for me) I don’t use them in more then maybe 5% of all battles.
Wonders should be grouped with other war tactics, probably to the right of them.

Many good suggestions have been given in this thread.
Please take them in consideration for a more logical design. In the meanwhile please revert it back to as it was.
