Your games might have the worst UIs I have ever seen in 20 years of gaming.
They are clunky, messy, intrusive, confusing, inconvenient, buggy and incomplete. Basically everything bad a UI can have, yours have it!
It somehow seems they combine the worst of both worlds, console UI and PC UI, and it results in an experience that feels like it was made over 10 years ago.
Just a few examples:
- Clicking stuff only works half the time.
- 0 overview, some UI items are direct access, others are convoluted, behind several key presses or other menus.
- Several menus for different parts of the game, as if they were all tagged on.
- Keys for some menus change depending on which menu you are in.
- Require a mixture of waiting for notification windows and key spam to get out of the debriefing, but 1 button press too many and you end up in the wrong menu or the next game.
- No buttons or functions to leave a friend group when the leader queued the group for a match.
- UI or parts of it are randomly unresponsive or not loading in for a few seconds, such as the hero when first getting into the hero menu or the entire UI during game when coming out of the ESC menu.

The notification system is ridiculously bad. I am not sure why it is even there. You get "X has left the game" for every single player in the entire match when YOU quit the match! And of course it is delayed, not skipable and sometimes blocks other info. Like most of their UI it is an absolutely stupid and useless feature.Originally Posted by Czarnone Go to original post
Unfortunately it seems they built their core UI system some 90 years ago and went with it for every game since. Saves them time and money, and we all know Ubisoft don't like investing in things they expect to get paid for. (How long did it take before we got dedicated servers just so we could actually play the game we paid for?)

The issues mentioned in the posts above give a good idea of what is wrong with the current menu UI; I'll leave it to the OP to make a more detailed list if there's need for one.
I myself would like to add that the ingame HUD is also in a bad state. A good example is the skull that appears in the centre of the screen when a team is breaking and how intrusive the HUD is overall. There's also the lack of an option to disable individual parts of HUD: for instance if I want to disable every part of the HUD except the combat indicator and health/stamina bar I cannot do that currently.
I'd like you to check out this thread that was made a while a go that provides pictures of the ideal ingame HUD; I very strongly suggest you take a look at it:

If I level up after fullfilling a few orders at a time I still am clusterbombed by the most annoying notifications, flashes and animations the game has to offer and usually keeps me prison until the the very beginning of the next match since I cannot for the love of god get out of there any earlier since the timer would just run its cause while I am just damned to watch and suffer.
Evaluating and dismantling stuff is still the same and costs way too much of my time. We also still have a replication bug there since like what? 3-5 seasons?
