New Loadout Menu

I use the num pad to select my loadouts; however, in game the new load-out menu is covered up completely by the kill screen info. Because of this it took me a minute to even realize the secondary menu was there. If you don't also select from the secondary menu you're forced back into the armor you had previously.

I swear, it makes me wonder if you're now so preoccupied with trying to sell us gold (jackle/plasma/loudouts) that you just no longer bother to test the new stuff out? I mean really, you only had to play with it once to figure out it's blocked from view.

Uh... no offense, but could you maybe post a screenshot of what exactly you mean with that? Because I had no issues whatsoever with the new loadout menue, so I can't really see what your problem is.

Re: New Loadout Menu

The loadout menu is SO bad, if you rebind classes (some people have other binds there, I deafen on mumble with num1, undeafen with num2), it becomes almost unusable.
I have bound them bound the following way: 7 SLD, 8 RDR, 9 SEN, 4 PTH, 5 DMB.

Now, if I want to switch to Raider with loadout one, I have to press:
Enter, 8, 4 (because apparently 4 == 1), 8 (why do I need to press 8 again? It won't work otherwise). For one, it would be a great f*** idea to have the display numbers changed to the numbers you actually need to press! What is this, amateur hour?

What. The. F***.

Please sort this s*** out, seriously. Why not let us quick-select loadouts with one customizeable bind? I wanna press ENTER, 8, done. If that. So bad. At this rate, it's faster for me to go through the main menu.

That's because you're going too slow.

Seriously, you don't need me to post a screenshot. Next time you die, hit a load-out on the number pad, 1,2,5,9, whatever. The following menu, the new menu, where you select which secondary load-out to pick from (1,2, or 3) is blocked from your view by the kill screen that shows you who killed you and with what.

One menu overlaps the other, and in this case it's the more important menu that you can't see. You can use it... but I didn't even know it was there. If I'm going to change armor, I do it while my body is still flying to the earth; I don't wait for the spawn timer to reach zero.

Re: New Loadout Menu

Aaah, now I know what you mean. Yeah, I noticed that too... isn't that much of a problem for me though, since I only use 2 loadouts, so I kinda know intuitively which one's which.

They should indeed change that though.

Here's the thing, even if you only use 2 load-outs, it's still a problem (not for you any longer because you know about it), and here's why: if you select another load-out, but fail to hit 1,2, or 3 from the secondary menu, you spawn in your old load-out; it does not, for reasons which are inexplicable, just automatically select 1, presumably your highest priority, or in my case, the only one I have.
