PC HUD on Console please

Already made a post about this but it was lost in the infinite queue posts day 1. I just want the option to have health/resource and skills in the middle instead of the lower left corner.

This UI comes with mouse and keyboard input which we dont have sadly… controller UI has the console version on PC

All I ask is the center UI (hotbars and life/resource globes) instead of console hotbar pushed to the left.

At least let me choose! I’m not planning to play coop bs.

PUSH! We NEED the PC UI on Console! It makes no sense at all that when you play solo, everything is in the left corner. Please Blizz move it to the middle for solo play.

Didn’t know that it was like that on pc. Still think it’s unfortunate we don’t get the option.

Ya i agree give us a toggle or make centered UI defualt and it only moves to the edge when couch coop is active.

First of all, I apologize for the inappropriately long-written complaint.
I used a translator because I am not an English speaker. There were no users posting on the Korean language forum (because very few posts were written, I thought it was a server problem) So I am writing here because I thought that my opinion would not be delivered no matter how much I write on the Korean forum.

Anyway, I read an article published by Blizzard in 2020. According to the article, it is difficult for users who see the monitor on the desk to move their view to the bottom left, and it is convenient for users who see the TV screen to move their view to the bottom left because it is far from the screen. That’s why they put the ui in the center for the PC version.

The preferred position changes to the left-corner when people play further away from the screen. This doesn’t come as a surprise given the shift in viewing angle (illustrative diagram below not to scale), but it does mean that the center configuration isn’t a majority winner on PC since we’re supporting controller input. So, while we will only stick to the corner configuration on consoles, we will offer both left and center positions as options on PC.

All right, I understand what they meant to do this. However, this idea is only the opinions of developers. They used this method to empty the center of the screen to cope with the narrower viewing angle compared to Diablo 2/3, and to show more artfully what they had been developing.
But, hey. Wasn’t World of Warcraft a game they developed? Many users who play this game mostly cover the center of the game with custom add-on UI to check the cooldown time of the skill faster and more accurately.
And also, many gamers use a monitor on their desk for Playstation or XBOX, not just on TV. Giving only PC users two options, that’s a terribly “developer-like” idea.

They really don’t seem to know what users need, and sometimes they don’t seem to care at all. Because they tried to care too much, they might miss something. Even if it’s a fatal problem.

During the two days of beta, while I play Barbarian, Watching the two red balls sticking to each other in the corner of the screen fill up quickly and repeat emptying made me crazy. These inconveniences are a problem that only couch-multiplayer users have to bear because they have no choice.

Please, please, please, please, give console users two options, you turds.

Bump - I noticed the PC UI is so much more customizable. You can get rid of messages and basically every part of the UI one piece at a time if you would like.

This is incredibly lazy.

Also THIS MESSAGE NEEDS TO GO -
“USE THE WHEEL TO OPEN CHAT”
“USE THE WHEEL TO OPEN CHAT”
“USE THE WHEEL TO OPEN CHAT”

after it is shown in the first few seconds of log-in or maybe whenever the ui is refreshed like when you load into an instance. after those quick few seconds it needs to go away. i want to see your beautiful game and the argument that it is just one message is an insulting one.

Yes please. On pc you can move UI left corner of screen like console. We need this to be in console as well please, to have the option to move in middle of screen if you play solo.

Very difficult to move your attention in left corner on your 75” tv

Please d4 team please

I took some time to write an indepth post about the HUD with reasonable requests to it.
we need to bump it up, post in discord groups to accumulate views and comments for it to be noticed.

The ability to customize the ui would be nice as well

Please give us the option to move the skill bar to bottom center like pc. Easier on the eyes

Ill be honest, I thought I would hate the ui being on the left but I actually like it after I got use to it. They should definitely have the option to move it like PC does though. I see no reason why they dont have this.

I am worried this is going to be ignored. No dev has mentioned anything about even considering an option to add UI options to console.

Please let us choose between left side and middle on console as well.
