This is why we put important people in UI design .

XDefiant is still in its farm phase as players cluster from all manner of FPS games to measure whether this title can equalize up to the big hotdog . However , they are off to a bad outset when player do n’t agnize XDefiant has a mathematical function voting system hidden in its UI .

Reddit user shpooples _ hopped onto the XDefiant subreddit to give the player free-base a small PSA : exhibit that this FPS has a mapping veto system to the surprisal of many . They specifically work up the point that this balloting arrangement is unfortunately hidden in XDefiant ’s cluttered UI . Between the lobby blue-ribbon , the Battle Pass , Loadouts , the active lifter , and even the newsfeed , there ’s no wonder players are neglect this crucial selection .

A vast legal age of users in the ribbon voice their surprise , saying , " I never even notice ! " or " Okay , now I jazz map voting exist in this biz . " A third spokesperson even chime in with disbelief : " THERE ‘S MAP vote ? ! ! "

Even I was surprised to read that XDefiant had such a heavy user experience addition . Being able to choose our maps and avoid the terrible ones has been an afterthought for most FPS biz . It is refreshing that a standard " I film you , you shoot me " shooter brings back the ability to bring the best maps . However , it ’s also inauspicious that Ubisoft missed such a crucial and obvious yield : the UI .

The User Interface of any game is paramount to a role player ’s experience and often leads to confusion , misinformation , or even missing mechanics entirely . It ’s Ubisoft ’s job to ensure all the relevant info is offered to players without being overbearing or completely forgettable . The devs have some room to originate in these areas .

One user ( Ryctre ) hopped into the conversation to add some clarity , saying , " There is n’t represent vote in the welcome lobby . So everyone just learning of it is still probably there . But yeah , no one votes on maps or thumbs up teammates at the end of the game , so they should probably up the visibility a bit . " This may explicate why some players do n’t see the choice for their initial experience , but it does n’t excuse the fact that the selection itself is very unobtrusive .
