Should TO revert back to the old turret icons?

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

From vlog 163, I hear that there are/will be new turret icons. So here's my opinion on it.

 

First I won't know which icon represents which turret.

 

And second, did the devs just draw up these new icons in 5 seconds? I think a toddler can do better than that.

 

So what do you guys think about the new turret icons?

I genuinely have no idea idea what the fuss is about. You can get used to which icons indicate which turret pretty quick if you pay attention. Its taken me less than a day to get used to it.

 

Only thing I don't like is the hammer icon, looks too much like twins.

I don't have any problem with new icons.

Same, you just need to get used to them.

They take up a lot of screen portion, don't represent turrets as they should look ugly and the flag indicators are the worst, very hard to understand whats going on by looking at them unless you focus on them very hard which in turn, distracts you away from the battle. I hate these new changes

Same, not like I have to look at them non-stop.. :ph34r:

[eSport 486]

Some of them are a bit dodgy to me - eg Hammer. But they r fine I guess.

I don't get why they felt the need to change the icons into this "minimalist" look, which is even more confusing considering that all the icons on modules are still old. I don't think anyone likes them, but I'm pretty sure they knew that. No point asking for them to be changed back - I doubt it will happen. If anything, just leave your feedback in the news topic.

Can we at least have the option to choose which form of the turret icons we want to see in the individual settings? Is that so much to ask for?

This idea was posted today. I'll report it to devs but I doubt it will happen.

Why... thank you!  :blush:

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

The old icons were cooler.

 

Also, Isida’s new icon represents its healing abilty, not its killing ability. Please change it so it’ll look like...

“<player nickname> has destroyed <player nickname>”

 

Because, it currently looks like...

“<player nickname> has healed <player nickname>“

 

Also, the icons indicating if a player has left or joined the battle are too confusing.

 

 

:(

I dislike the new update.

The battle log is spread out and i dislike the new looks of the turret. The old one was better and relatable to the turret in some way and its represent the prot module. 
But i dont mind the new flag system icon. Well "sometimes"

The devs have a clan system to finish, a magnum to nerf, a battle system to fix, and a HTML5 system to unfreeze...

 

yet they choose to make the battle notifications and icons even worse?

[r_Join-GC-Green-Clan 77]

this update is not that useful but i can get use to it. at least its not pay to win. i am not a buyer. update #501 (new paints in containers) is the worst update

Agreed. I still haven't managed to figure what matches to what. I much preferred the old design (though even that was unnecessary). 

[Rocket_Raccoon_XXX 1,507]

I like the old ones. The new ones are hard to understand.

[DragonOfStorms 2,706]

I'm still rather confused, but I'll eventually get used to them. The joining/leaving icons are okay, I suppose. The battle indicators are not great, but they're not awful.

 

Overall, I'm mostly indifferent, but I feel this was a waste of time - there are several other features devs have promised that players actually care about.

The v-log said they were supposed to follow a modern style. They do not look modern AT ALL. At best you could call them minimalist.

[LiquidGold 1,370]

Get used to it every other rubbish thing from tanki x will come this way too .. its called unity across platforms, so much for oh no they are totally different games eventually we will just dissolve. Instead of actually fixing cheaters, mults and sabotage with  m0 equipment they give a fix for things not broken, style over substance wins hard with the devs

Send kinda pointless to me. Yes it may take some getting used to, but the old ones were easy more logical. What could a snowflake be apart from freeze? Now I look at the red raindrop, the plus sign, and the yellow V and can just about guess what each thing means.

 

Given how long they've been promising things like matchmaking and *cough* improvements to the in game clan system, spending 3 weeks "fixing" something that wasn't even slightly broken seems a bit of a waste.

 

As for the new flag icons and things, I suppose they make it faster and easier, but there was a skill to being able to hide somewhere and not get found... Maybe make it so that it pings a location every 5 seconds, rather than being constant?

[Gravity 23]

They should pay attention to the bugs that are currently in the game.

[Best_of_thunder_2015 1,354]

Icons won't make a big difference in the game, 

Our brain has pattern memory system where it can store all information in temporary section where you can recall the events. You can't remember a turret freeze in battle field and i need to stay away from them ? 

Icons are minorities, I don't watch them often.

In my opinion the old TO version has more bugs and glitches  :ph34r:
