I can actually see a lot of potential in the top bar

It is really cool! ROBLOX could be making its own browser in its client separate from chrome or whatever you are using. They you can easily go from game to game and also have a reminder of the player points you have.

There is a lot of potential in this so I suggest giving ROBLOX time to work out some problems. Honestly it is not worth the complaining.

I described what I found here- Many aspects of it take away from what's actually on the screen, and instead focus on making the HUD the main aspect. As well, it does nothing but ruin things game developers have put on their own top bar section. A HUD is just supposed to give the basics: Weapons, Leaderboard, Chat, Health, Options. It's too invasive.

all it does is take functions we can already easily perform by pressing keys on our keyboard, slap them onto the top of the screen and interrupt gameplay

Being a game developer, it is really not a big deal.

You do not understand at all. Why should they update something that was perfectly fine as it was with something even worse that completely wrecks the looks of other games?

You might as well say WOW should not have a bar of all its skills and just rely on hot keys as these tool bars take away the user's eye from what is happening on the screen.

When I looked at the outrage on the forum, I thought this was actually a really bad HUD design but it is not even close to as bad. You are all being way too melodramatic. ROBLOX is trying to make the in game Guis look more connected and pertain to ROBLOX's current site theme. This new update makes all the graphical aspects feel connected. Before it seemed like splatted elements but not everything is a place where you can easily access each gui. You may think it does not help but that is really only because you got used to ROBLOX's old layout. Newer players would most likely have an easier time beginning ROBLOX now.

It is much, much more useful and efficient than before. As I said before the ergonomic is very nice as well as now the ability to hide certain UI's

Really it is the developer's problem with the Guis overlapping some aspects of the game, and they should fix it if it is really that bad. I have developed with ROBLOX in the past and you actually have the ability to remove UI elements and replace them with your own at ease so really it is a mild inconvenience. Filtering Enabled was harder to adjust to for developers and that was easy.

The developers caused this. I refuse to play like this. This needs to end.

81 don't you think that is a bit over dramatic?

I make games, most of my more recent projects have GUIs, and usually on the top.
This top bar is just strange, it doesn't feel right, it's just poor design.

I like the change to the Leaderboard, it's easier to read, but this top bar is awful.

That's not what this update does at all.

Yeah it would be a bit hard to adjust for competitive players, but I doubt any of these people are competitive players xD

I think ROBLOX's downfall really was marketing to kids as not there is never a mature response to new updates and people feel entitled to the old.

ROBLOX is still in beta folks and is subject to change
