Zapha Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 As someone who has reduced eyesight I'm also impressed about the good readabilty of the new pod info. Devs, I'm waiting since a long time for a more barrier free UI, especially the chat window which is so hard to read with its small font. I really would like to chat, but can't because of the bad readabilty. Please, at least a font size selector for the chatbox. A selectable background color would also be great and would help the disabled like me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasminia Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Becareful Podding/Unpodding currently. It will put the females into Cooldown if you pull it out multiple times. Otherwise I agree the UI is nice looking. Love the mutations/colors being in your face. I'm hoping that the cooldown was supposed to go onto the pod but is going on the dino instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sablestar Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 At least for my cryopods,melee and muts appear to be the wrong numbers when i unpack them... also I'm not sure the colors are accurate   I guess unpacking them and re-cryoing them get the right colors and mut numbers to show up, but my arg melee numbers still show incorrectly-- lower on all by 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayespi92 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Title says it all. Looks like an enlarged font made for 90 year olds. Make it a UI option to scale. It is so incredibly hideous to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyBear Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 the read out is also incorrect on some , I just found one obvious one. Â Â Â Â anyone else notice what doesn't match? Imagine what trading dinos is going to be like until they fix this massive flaw. Â If you still can't tell what's wrong w/ those pictures....

DeliaHaze20 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 its a good idea but bad execution coming from wild card im not surprise funny to on how modders do it better then the devs how pathetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonark Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Being able to see mutations is super nice, the color regions are kinda cool, and showing proper stats are all nice. The UI is... well, kinda what I expect from ark TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyBear Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I think all of you should look at the read out for your cryopods a little more carefully.  There's one glaring massive mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenRoc Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I saw this new feature moents ago and jawdrop, amazing and going to be very helpful overall... Â But gender is missing. Seeing the gender on the pod is very important to me, so important and due to the first iteration of pods lacking gender (and in many cases, having the wrong gender) I started adding gender things to my newer dinos names (i.e Mr, Ms). which isnt something I want to do to a limited-character title. Can I please have something to indicate the gender, aside from having to change my 300+ pods? k thx so much, love seeing the color bars most of all! Seeing sample id on it would be awsome too, but I'll keep manually looking at the dino for that data. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausagedog85 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Wow there is some serious asskissing going on here..  Considering; 1) It was designed with no attempt at first glance readability or accessibility in mind. 2) None of this information is relevant enough before unpodding to be center place, removing text for icons is lazy and causes confusion to those who are not familiar with the icons 3) The most important information needed without unpodding has been removed, (male/female/imprint) this is far more important that how many mutations there are (which is also incorrect, first generation wyverns hatched from wild eggs are showing to have 750k mutations) 4) Font size and style is wildly inconsistent, padding and margins are way off. (use definite sizing not percentages you hack) (it's also HUGE, and blocks even more of the chat window and the inventory menu depending on where it is in your inv (hotbar or inv)) 5) The weird lines at the top which I assume is supposed to represent colour zones have no explanation of what it actually is, and as a bonus are incorrect for almost every dino I own.  EDIT: Also, podding on PVE now has breed timers being applied to dinos that have not even been bred in months From a designers point of view, this is a dogs breakfast. ( Surprised they didn't use comic sans)  The ideal solution here would have been to use the original window, but increase font size (accessibility was bad beforehand, due to font size), make it about 20% larger (or make it scalable) to increase readability at a glance, and add the colour zones and mutation information to the existing frame's lower half, removing the weapon and weight information that was irrelevant anyway.  EDIT (again): Just to add salt to the wound, when I try to access two of my fridges it does this now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sativa420 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 hate the new UI for cryopods --instead of something useful like does the dino have a SADDLE on it? we get a UI big enough to read from across the zone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio89 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Most of stats reported are wrong, especially with gigas and breeded dinos. You need to re-cryo dinos to get proper colors. The GUI is uselessly huge. Saddle and cooldown informations are still missing as well imprint value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasminia Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Why reinvent the wheel with cryopods. You guys had the info screen in the animal perfect. Here are some suggestions on how to improve the new cryo UI. Also as an incentive to keeping dinos cryopodded. Why not cut the cooldown timer in half like the passive XP. Make it so that you only gain the bonus when in a cryofridge. Forgive the sloppy paintjob. It's 5am 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the design itself, while it is subjective and everyone have their own tastes, there is definitely room for improvement. They can certainly do better; especially if you compare it with their recent "Taming HUD" for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please @Cedric @Dollie @Jatheish take a look into it before ppl start flooding the ark with dinos cause putting them in cryopod put females into cooldown. Also that the cooldown timer is rerolled everytime a female is uncryoed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
