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

This new update feels very old-fashioned. The cards on the mobile version are very cramped when using the default layout, which could quickly lead to mistakes when selecting cards, in my opinion.

This default choice could therefore, in my opinion, drive more than a few users away, since many people play on their phones, and not everyone thinks to go into the settings to make adjustments.

It only took me clicking on the first Google result for this game to notice how modern other sites look. Even if they’re not perfect, they’re still clearly more appealing.

When trying to choose the card style I prefer, they appear very blurry, even though they were perfectly sharp in the previous version (same style).

Anyway, I suppose it’s a matter of getting used to it (except for the blurry cards). Offering three background colors is a nice idea, but why not include a light color like before? Right now we only have three very dark options :)

Thanks nonetheless for the effort put into this update.

Horrible graphic and gameplay, it's so slow. I'm all for change in many cases but this is a huge step back. It really takes out the pleasure.

Its terrible specially, on a cellphone. Its slower, cant see the cards in two rows, there is a third row needed now. Why would you change if it was good?

I’m shocked they haven’t fixed this or given the option for old view yet. Has any admin commented ?

I was so confused when a new table started. I didn't know what game I was playing. It looks so horrible and old fashioned. The cards are hard to see, and why are the player avatars appearing on the table?

When I played today, I thought I was playing the wrong game. But nah, whoever is behind this new look, please resign. The old look was functional, straight to the point. This new look is tacky, colors are awful and I feel like it's lagging on my phone. Won't be playing the game until the old look comes back. See ya

Sad to see this change in style - my play has got worse as I cannot see the cards properly. Choice is between unreadable or blurry, all on a dark background with smaller cards
