    Is there other button to stow binoculars? Devs listem that!

    I have found small and annoying problems with Ubisoft's games!

    It seems Ubisoft is now using very inexperienced developers to not correct these!

    I have reported lots of things like that in the Division forum.

    Now I found a small annoyance in GR Wildlands. When you use binoculars its intuitive to expect that if I press some weapon change button the character would stow binoculars and hold the weapon, but Im forced to press only same button to stow binoculars!

    Could you fix that Devs??????

    Just because you can't handle a a single press to stow an item you used before moving to another item, doesn't mean it's incorrect and unintuitive.

    In fact, that it is very intuitive to do so. You're talking about a button to cross between two different types of items. What you are talking about is that you demand a shortcut button over something that is already intuitive to begin with.


    And if you feel so smart because you have reported soooooooo many things in forums and can look down upon these inexperience developers, then please do yourself and everyone else a favor by applying a job at Ubisoft's game development teams to show them your experience and take their games to the next level.

    Otherwise, don't be a big-headed talker.

    Nah!

    Im just talking about details all games today use. If when you choose another weapon the binoculars close, this change becomes fast and helps you in emergency situations.

    All major games today act like that! Certain habits are becoming so game industry's standards that it becomes second nature! Good details always make games better! This game is good but can be even better!

    Imo the way it is now is perfectly logical. You press a button to equip the binocs, and you press the same button to put them away. Certainly makes more sence than using the weapon button imo. It would make no difference to the speed of the action either, the binocs still have to be "stowed" either way but that in itself takes only a moment.
    There isnt an issue with "emergency situations", as the binocs, much like the drone, get deactivated instantly, automatically, upon being detected. Not even detected, the moment you trigger a detection meter this will happen.
    I dont see this as a problem, or something that needs to be fixed.

    I found another way to fast stow the binocs. I press shift and slightly move forward.

    Im not saying thats a great problem. This game is near perfect but if you have played at least one game per year in the last 10 years, certain behaviors become almost second nature. They are like an unofficial game industry standard.

    For example: Every shooter out there uses the mouse wheel to change weapons, thats almost a standard. If a game wouldn't provide that everybody would think: What the hell...

    Almost every shooter stow equipment's when you choose another, so thats a good practice. The Devs could implement that in Quality of life patch in the future.

    No offense, as I'm the last guy to want to stifle someone's own feedback but to be honest, I think this might be the first time I have even seen this concern brought up on here. Just letting you know that in the grand scheme of things, it's not likely to be considered a issue that warrants a change. There is also the fact that a change in the UI like this will affect everyone else. .....among them those who may be just fine with and used to the way the binos work now.

    On a related note, what I have seen is quite a few folks complaining about the clunkiness of cycling through the frags, C4 and such.
