New look of Arena Hearts - there is no switch to old look

Post by kicekpicek_pl »

The new version of Hearts is really hard to use and, honestly, feels like a step back.

The visual design doesn’t look good, but more importantly, the gameplay itself is affected. The card pre-selection feature is not working properly anymore. In the previous version, when I was the 3rd or 4th player, I could select a card in advance and it would be played automatically on my turn. Now, even if I select a card, it gets deselected when my turn comes, so I have to click it again. This slows down the game and makes it less smooth.

Could you please consider bringing back the previous version of Hearts, or at least give players the option to choose between the old and the new interface?

The design and game flow are awful. What was wrong with how things were? This is ugly and plays terribly/slowly. No ability to select card in advance. Card movements are awkward. The entire thing is terrible. Totally unnecessary change, might even deter me from playing more. Why?!?!

The new look is terrible.
And you can't pre-play cards.
Is there another site we can use instead ?

I'm totally agree, and I was going to ask it aswell, if this version will remain the only possibility for sure I will leave to community, because is very boring playing like this...

I agree with what my colleague said.
Please give us the option to choose the old interface.
Furthermore, the background colors cause visual difficulties, especially for older people.

So much slower, too! It is adding 4-6 minutes to every game now!

I agree. Pre-play, ease of clicking on the cards (especially while on a phone) and the colours are all major problems. Please revert back to the old version, or bring a better UI/UX designer :)
