A few things we want in the Updates U.I

SimbaOn7 · Jul 5, 2015

I do not know if any of these things are in the process of being done, but I looked far and wide and could not find a entire list for the things that are being done in the U.I update.

1. Get rid of the stupid way the Friends List works, who in their right mind thought this twitter like follower based friends list was a good Idea? I would rather have the exact same 100 friends only friends list from the 360. This follower based list is
absolutely terrible. I hate having to tell people to add me back

2. Can we please have it to where we can send mass messages to Recent players? Do you know how hard it is to get any kind of custom game party going without that capability, and when no-one else is online you're stuck playing by yourself. The thing I remember
most about halo 3 (my favorite game) was that everyday I would get customs going with people. All I have to do was send out a mass message. But I can't do that now.

3, Please make it where we can have the voice chat coming through the speakers and the headset at the same time. That is a thing alot of competitive players want. We don't like being forced to have to buy extra equipment.

4, I've seen this part of the update, Why don't we just have the notifications and messages in the same exact thing like the 360? It worked so well for years and it just gets changed.

5, The recent players list barely works anyways, half the time people I played with don;t even show up in it.

It seems like you guys were just like "lets take out everything that makes sense" This U.I is absolute garbage and t's like you guys just don't even care.

On a side note, I'm so tired of my console being turned off when the cord from my controller brushes against that stupid little touch button. I swear it's like you guys didn't playtest the xbox one at all.

You don't speak for me OP. I speak for myself and it is fine the way it is.

I'm so glad they got rid of mass messaging. 95% of the people you send those messages to, don't want them, and get annoyed by the fact that they receive them.

May I just point out that point number 3 is a very bad idea if you are using kinect because someone could just say "xbox turn off"

I am not saying this is gonna happen for certain but if you have the kinect near your tv speakers then it could.

Mass messaging just sounds like a bad idea.

I get stuck in a bunch of spam group messages on PS4 somehow with their mass messaging stuff.

He doesn't mention "recording" it just having it come out the speakers and the headset.

There are those of us who've played both on Xbox 360 and Xbox 1, who appreciate what a fun time it has been on Xbox 360. This ^^^

Microsoft knows many people have criticized Xbox 1 on the condition of what it was like at Launch. That's why they created an official feedback site. And know it's a better console. You can change in your Privacy Settings who you receive messages from over
Xbox Live, you can set it to Everyone, Friends Only, or None. You can also Block Communications if you think someone is spamming you. Xbox is for Young People, not just Old People. Some of us appreciate the ease of sending mass messages/M2AF which Xbox 360's
Dashboard offers. No doubt many people may struggle with only 100 friends on Xbox 360 I too have a full friends list. But I feel there should be better differentiation and room for improvement, when it comes to Xbox Friends and Xbox Followers. The only way
to know if you have followers is to log onto this site or Xbox 1 smartglass. Xbox 360's Dashboard and Xbox 360 Smartglass won't tell you if you have any followers. Some people create separate profiles, one which they only use for Xbox 360, and the other for
use only on Xbox 1.

"He doesn't mention "recording" it just having it come out the speakers and the headset."

A method useful to capturing game chat. I am merely pointing out another use.
