View Full Version : A couple UI/UX issues

When selecting your character in multiplayer, it's really unclear when you've "finished" selecting... you hit X (on PS3) to select the player, but then your part of the screen says "continue" in yellow letters, so it looks like you have to hit X again to confirm, but that returns you to character select. Shouldn't O be the return button? I can't tell you how many times I've had to reselect my character because of that. And on top of it, when you're selecting the characters, it's unclear if you have to hit X to get a picture of the person or not, because there's a slight pause for loading.

That whole section of the UI looks like it needs some more user testing and maybe some tweaking.

Navigating/finishing a venue in BWT - I think the problem I'm having is that I'm playing on medium (yes, don't laugh) and so my band can't unlock everything... but I can't really tell where to go next... all the venues say "new" but don't have any new songs in them. There's no explanatory text telling me what I need to do to finish each venue, either. We played like 4 different setlists in a row on one venue one night and never seemed to be able to get any where. We currently have like 5 venues that say "new" with no songs available, it's very confusing.

Just a couple user experience issues I figured might not be obvious to dev & QA that have been working with the UI for months and months.
