New UI feedback poll

RearAdmiralZill:
To get right to it, I was a little put off by all the new UI in matches. I am definitely part of the "less is more" group when it comes to GOIO. From the new hit indicators to the achievement popup flashing in my face, it just didn't feel as clean. The small white dot for my "targeting" even annoyed me. I haven't hopped on to guns yet to see those changes, so I can't comment there. The biggest space waster to me was the rectangle in the lower right corner telling me my team color. Third match of the night, and a new player was asking which team he was on.

I realize though, that I don't speak for everyone, and people might like the added information. So it became apparent that options for these new UI would be the best route to suggest, because people like me will want to remove a few things, and others will want all the information they can get in matches. I realize a lot of stuff has been added for newer players, and that's cool. Even if the option is as simple as a Normal/Expert UI option letting you pick between the old interface and the new one, then that's a step in the right direction. Ultimately, I just would like a way to enable/disable the new UI additions, and wanted to see what others thought.

Plasmarobo:
I dislike the white dot. There is no reason for something that indicates the middle of the screen, it is already the middle of the screen. On a gun I understand, but otherwise...

As for the chieve thing, I actually like it, but it could be more subtle. Maybe have a few settings for this stuff "Off" "Subtle" "Obvious".

Spud Nick:
I made a thread similar to this after they added ship names to spotted ships. The more UI they add the more options we should have to remove it. I just want to see ships and bullets flying around again.

geggis:
The blue/red team marker I like but it could perhaps be integrated into the UI at the top centre as a thin strip/slither above or below the score and compass.

The dot caught me off a few times 'What's that bright point of light in the distance?! Is that some glare from an enemy spy glass or something? Oh, it's my reticule.' I don't mind it. I actually like the snazzy new gun reticules though. They pop and fizz with life, and the hit markers are a very welcome addition in my opinion. Names on spotted ships have also been great for pointing out targets to new players who don't understand 'Target that Junker!' ('Which one's the Junker?')

The cheevo box on the right looked wrong to me because it was massive, like, a good sixth of the screen was being taken up by the dashed line box with a single line of text inside it in the middle ie. there was lots of space above and below the text. Is it supposed to be that big and centre aligned vertically on the screen? Or is it supposed to 'hug' the line of text and be in the top right corner? It was awfully intrusive on my screen. I'll try and take a screenshot and send it to feedback if so.

Above all, I think it's important to have the ability to customise the UI the way you like it (hiding the entire hud would be pretty sweet for screenshots and possible video montages too). I'm a less is more kind of guy generally but some UI elements I'd like to keep for clarity while others I'd happily hide.

While it is annoying to have the white dot on helm (and maybe for engineers running around fixing), it kinda works with the new reticle system when shooting. I would assume it's to help gunners/gunengineers find center on targets. Personally, I'm not a fan of the dot, but it works for shooting.

I second this.

As far as the achievement progress box which pops up for every single time you make a point of progress toward any one achievement, please make an option to toggle whether you want it to flash up or not. I like not having a box outline flashing everytime (which is often for me).
