I've never been overly fond of the text for the UI, sounds trivial I know but it just looks very 'amateurish' to me - may well grow on me over time though.

The more I see of this the more I think I am going to pick it up - I need a break from the general mess that is BF4 at the moment.

Im sure I read somewhere that Rocket has said he does not like it either and is going to go back to the icons. I really hope thats true

Don't mind no server release in alpha to be honest, at least they have said they intend to release them and I cant imagine it will be that long to be honest. If it doesn't happen between now and Elite coming out then its no biggy (that will take over my gaming time anyway). At the end of the day its only £20 so I might grab it over xmas to see whats what.

Loot spawns on server start I think, same as Zombies.. once its picked up/killed - doesnt respawn till server restart.

Is that permanent or something that's going to get patched out eventually? Because that's ****ing retarded as all hell.

Font is font... If that's all that people worry about then its looking promising! Gonna be so much fun seeing what the new updates and patches will bring!

They need a UI artist, the font choice shows how clueless they are with this.

I'd rather them leave pointless crap like that to the amateurs and concentrate on making the game good!

Its just font like

I'm sure down the line you'll have blood spattered names and splash screens. Right now lets just make sure the game is delivering

Played it for a bit last night, still too arma 2 for me.

I'll play once they improve the controls and majority of the bugs.

Felt like going a step back after playing arma 3

Not impressed by this so far from what I've seen. Also, what happened to the so called Minecraft model that Rocket kept on about? He frequently said the alpha would be priced around 15 Euros.

Hang on.. this is out now?

I have to agree, however I think we should have icons back. Its too hard to tell whats going on the way it is now with the text. It should be easy to see at a glance if your injured/need food/drink etc.

Standalone is about survival, not about killing..........

Xcept1 · 17 Dec 2013 at 12:52

Fired it up this morning to see I was still unconscious as I was expecting and left it running...came home this afternoon and thought I would check what sort of clip my guy was in and still the dreaded black screen! Looks like I will be hitting respawn when I get back tonight!

Murray · 17 Dec 2013 at 12:54

According to reddit its bugged and you should just try reconnecting to the server a few times.

Xcept1 · 17 Dec 2013 at 12:55

According to reddit.....

Are servers able to be rented or are they all controlled by Rocket? Combat logging needs to be stamped out asap, that was a massive step forward that the mod cracked.

Its not pointless, Games wouldn't be games without UI artists and coders.
