Ramela Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Bug Submission: Category: Gameplay Platform: PC Issue Title: Mission Selection UI bug / oversight Issue Description: When I am in the mission selection choosing a mission, I sometimes accidentally click "Infiltrate" on a mission when I am trying to click a adjacent other mission to see what the mission is. At this point, I am taken to a screen where you see what corporation is in question. This screen has no button that lets you return to the map, the only available button is "Start mission", so if I misclicked I can't go back. Sometimes this is game breaking and can be a really big negative play experience, so this must be a bug or oversight. Currently, In terms of design, the "Start Mission" is basically useless since it has no choices for and the only game mechanically relevant information is the corporation being infiltrated. Because I can't go back from this screen, it is basically a loading screen that does not load anything. If the intent is to obfuscate which corporation is the target, I suggest tweaking the map screen UI to make misclicking harder and using the "Start Mission" page as an actual loading screen, possibly incorporating the loading screen graphic in there because it is cool. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Start a new game 2) Choose any starting setup 3) In the map screen choose a mission and click "Infiltrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirsh Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 To make less misclicks you can hide mission pop-up description by second click on red dot, I hope it can help a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramela Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Sure, obviously I'm trying to make less misclicks, but that is not the point. Requiring players to not make misclicks or risk ruining their game is bad design and the rewind feature is a clear indication that Klei aknowledges this. Extending this practice to mission selection is a no-brainer and it must be a bug or oversight that it has not yet been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirsh Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Probably it would be cool if "infiltrate" string will be appears only after click on mission pop-up description, so there still would be no corp.spoilers but it will help avoiding accident starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphingx Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 For what it's worth, this very same thing I complained about before too. http://forums.kleientertainment.com/topic/41525-a-return-to-mission-selection-screen-on-mission-briefing/ Like the Geth, I would prefer to avoid unintentional infiltrations. Unfortunately, my tenuous skill with a touchpad means it does happen from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
