I want to share a bit of relevant discussion that happened in the Warframe community.

This post is a Developer Workshop post discussing recent changes to the UI design of the game, as well as planned future adjustments that are still in the mock-up pre-production phase. The reason the post was made was due to a lot of negative feedback generated about recent UI changes. Mainly, weapon preview screens had an [(!) About] button that you had to mouseover to see information about the weapon... And there was nothing else on the screen. The mouseover obscured pure empty white space. So, why the hell even keep it as a mouseover, instead of just BEING THERE, if it's not covering anything up?

Cue part 2: The developers listened and responded. The pointless [(!) About] mouseover change would be reverted, along with a few other recent and unpopular changes. Hell, a long-standing issue (item labels being OFF by default- it worked in BotW because we know what a dang apple is, but doesn't work in Warframe because I don't know the difference between Neurodes and Neural Sensors without someone holding my hand) got fixed as a result, too. The devs explained why they made decisions they made, the players responded, and the devs listened. Hell, it wasn't all playing defense- the new end-of-mission screen they previewed generated positive feedback, so they're proceeding along those lines for sure.



I think we're loooooooooooong overdue to hear a Dev-Workshop-like post from the person responsible for the current direction of healers. I don't want to hear a PR response, or their boss covering for them- I just want them to tell us what they were trying to accomplish, because I don't think it was "upset a lot of people." Nobody on 14's team intends to do that (except maybe whoever mixed up the names of the Ninja combo finishers.) Just let us have a discussion so that we can laser-focus our feedback on what you want to hear to accomplish your goals of happy healers, ok? Just treat us like adults, and like we matter to you, and we won't bite, I promise.
