[Feedback] UI (Heist select, Loadouts, Challenges, Lobby)
After playing for somewhere over 20 hours here's my feedback about several UI elements of the game and some suggestions:
Challenges:
- Show possible Weapon-specific challenges in the Loadout menu and in the weapon selection menu
- Show possible Heist-specific challenges in the Heist selection menu
- More options for filtering Challenges in the Challenges menu, like hiding completed Challenges, sorting by Heist/Weapon etc.
- Short summary of possible Challenges in-game in the TAB-menu
- Scroll bar on PC and make the challenge-elements smaller
Lobby:
- Chat in the lobby
- Buy ammo/armor/zipline bags and medic pack favors from inside the lobby
Loadouts
- Rename Loadouts
- Rename Weapon slots (AK-47 Loud, AK-47 Quiet for example)
Heist select
- Quick play option (maybe even with a filter for loud/quiet)

ThePaddx MergedThe Menu looks and feels like a Standard UE4 Menu optimized for Controllers.
3
WIth different keys to press for several options instead of double clicking something to e.g buy and use attachments.
It would be great if you could alter the Menu and the way you control the Menu (at least for PC Versions) so that it resemble the Payday 2 Menu
wich was way more intuitive and better to handle.
Which includes also the crime.net screens for choosing a heist.
Based on the menu suggestion, I think the whole crime.net Theme is missing here.
It is just named in one of the story videos but the overall experience does not feel like we're using crime.net at all. Also it does not feel like we're a part of the whole crime.net scene. I think crime net should be somewhat be better implemented in this whole game to give us a better feeling of what its like to be a part of it... i guess. -

Zeon MergedThe stores in PAYDAY 3 is very cluttered and basically has everything in two categories: Weapon Bases and presets. PAYDAY 2 didn't do this, and made it much nicer to see what was available in different categories.

Polech MergedIt's hard to keep track of challenges progress at higher infamy levels. It'd be cool to be able to select like 3-5 challenges from the menu to show on HUD to make it easier and ON/OFF feature for any challenge completion notification, either sound, UI or both.

Eduardo MergedJust some tweaks that i believe it could improve user experience while playing:
In-Heist:
- A timer showing the amount of time that has been spent on the current heist;
- Visual representation of the deployables your allies are carrying;
- A manner of drop-down interface (like the one present in PAYDAY 2 that have TAB as the default keybind) that could potentialy show your current tracked challenges and/or some other general information.
General:
- Some kind of visual notice for when a player joins your party (while on the main menu);
- An way of changing the order in which the categories of players are shown on the Social Tab (i.e.: the suggested players list is being shown above my friends list, making me having to scroll down to invite my friends, which, i believe, it should be the other way around.
Thank you for the attention, wish you guys all the best and hope you all can figure the current server situation ASAP. -

DanielWe really need the option to sort the challenges by mission or weapons. It's hell to look thru it after every mission cuz it shuffles everything. Checking 7 pages if one weapon got a challenge or not. Comparing what weapon got most challenges so we know what weapon to bring. It can take up to 20min after every game to look thru it. The challenge board is a real mess atm.
1
We could also need the option to track up to 8 - 10 challenge. Cuz many of us want too level up. And remember everything ingame is not easy. Taking notes on the side of the game isn't right.
I like the game, but it's not that fun having to do all that. I'll wait for an update before I get back onto the game again. It's just to annoying -

Kensia MergedCurrently, when you hover a weapon in arsenal, it lights up in white but left clicking doesn't do anything. You have to press "R" to add accessories and "T" to customize. Just a small change but UX would be better if left clicking open the accessories panel and right clicking open the customize panel.

GimmeWhiskyPls MergedIf you are planning to add more items, expand the UI. Its terrible to have it as 2x2, increase that to 4x4 at least.

Jordan MergedI want to start off by saying I love payday, I've been a huge fan since I was 10. This is coming from a die hard fan. The UI in my opinion doesn't compare to payday 2 and just the way everything is scattered. For example on PlayStation, whenever you buy a gun or suit etc it doesn't automatically go into the slot. I have to go back in and out of loadout to equip my new suit or gun. Speaking of guns the gunplay is very good imo but the guns stats and the plus and minus sign that say "-overall gunkick" or "+overall recoil" most people do not know what that means or get the positive and negative recoil mixed up with each other. I think the gameplay itself is good I like it. I just really feel like the UI needs a huge change, the way it's scattered and how buggy it can be, and a suggestion I wanna make is when you have friends with you. Make them stand with you in the main menu screen, I have an example of this. This could be a way to lighten up the main menu/UI. It's in the image :)

Crunchy MergedAlmost all the elements that made PD2 stylish are gone. The menus feel like a COD knockoff, the hud is sterile, etc. Payday 2's menus and hud really reflected the heisting experience and added more that I would think to the experience, and not having that now makes it feel a lot more gamey (in a bad way).

A LOTTA DAAMAGE MergedThe menus are already pretty annoying to navigate as is, especially when browsing your inventory in the loadout screens, but I can visualize later down the line when a few more DLCs have been released how much of a nightmare browsing your owned weapons, suits, etc. Is going to be. The menus should be overhauled so players can more easily navigate their inventory (and reorganize it if they so choose, it would be a very nice feature to bring back as it was in payday 2)
