This seems interesting.

Yeah, I have 300 hours from doing all the quests up to ng+ but I couldn't bring myself to repeat all that. Especially the temples.

...and also I am very impressed by the engine. Fallout 4 would have me running into LOD version of the world if I sprinted for too long, Starfield handles setav speedmult 500 like a champ. Makes exploring a breeze.

Oh I absolutely used to stim with it :D

My fingers do random swipes all the time, so it's annoying.

Personally hate the change to the swipe. I get that on some huge servers people probably use the "reply" feature a lot, but I definitely don't have so much use for it as to give up the nice, coherent and logical UX of "channel/server list is on the left, user list is on the right, just swipe to them".

IMO, swiping should be for navigating UI, not interacting with individual items. Now there's a useless thing on the swipe and I have to reach to the top of the screen if I want to check who's online and in the channel. Annoying.

That and the new DM screen doesn't use swipe right as navigation, it's just a "back" button now. Can't quickly look at the DM list and go back to your conversation by swiping right-left any more. Literal lazy design because this is an easier way to program that interaction.

Don't care super much about the DM button moving, it's more convenient to access but breaks the UI paradigm. Shrug.

Oh, and the "midnight" theme is not new, you could use it for years now in the old versions.

It's a departure from the desktop UI and it made the whole thing much clunkier.

I will be fair, moving the button to the bottom row is more convenient if you have a lot of servers to scroll up through and use the DMs a lot, I don't care about that as much.
What I do care about is how the rest of it changed. Can't just quickly swipe into the DM list and back any more, if you exit the DM that's it, you gotta click on it again. Switching between DMs and servers is more clunky, a bunch of UI I was actively using is broken up. They broke the search function, and the new way to check channel participants (click on the title) is uncomfortable as hell compared to old "just swipe to the right".

Personally I hate the new UX even if some bits are an improvement. It's just too much stuff to change all at once and not for the better.
