Button prompts

[Florenus]

This annoyance is doubly redundant in that:
1 the announcement is made after the commander has successfully followed protocols,

Just for the sake of argument (and maybe this approach will add some layer to your mental matress ):
To land you first need to take off. You start at the starport, so you might hear this way before attempting to land, preparing you for what needs to be done.

careful what you wish for.

i can imagine the march 2020 update launch: "in this update we have streamlined the experience for our veteran players: personalize your toasts!".

they will have individual toggles scattered all over the options tree. oh and the junk shop will get a revamp too.

frontier, listening to the community since 2014

Forced on-screen prompts, a sure fire way to mess up even the best of HUD designs....which ED's isn't by far.
Fully support the OP on this.

While I appreciate the new tutorials, which are certainly good for new players, I absolutely dislike that there are more and more button prompts in the game.
My ship doesn't tell me to press "J" for disengaging. It tells me "safe disengage ready". I'm the pilot, I know what to do, and so does every new player after having done it two or three times.

This might look like a trivial thing, but it's the fly in the soup for me. Breaks the simulation.
I would love a toggle for all these prompts we have for hyperjumping, lifting off planets, the keybindings displayed in the FSS and galaxy map.
A way to just disable tutorial mode completely would be great, which can even be done in most arcade-like games.

Yes it's very irritating

Sorry Stephen...I am calling B*S too...

ED is becoming more mainstream..

As mentioned by Para Handy, it's not on the list in the Known Issues. The button prompts (eg press J to disengage rather than the previous message saying it was safe to disengage) are quite annoying. I suspect that's not the issue you were referring to Stephen?

Hello,

If the bug is not present in the list, would you please head over to the Issue Tracker and put in a ticket so we can make our development team aware.

Thanks!

The point being made was that you have posted that "added to the list" on just about everything reported in this forum and this one wasn't even a bug, just a remark about the button prompts being unwelcome and unnecessary.

 

[Enderby]

Get the feeling they are not reading threads just slapping on the “this issue has been added” message?

Hehe brilliant

 

[Florenus]

Hmm.
I think he's so busy he just copy/pasted that message.
Without reading the thread.

 

[Winterwalker]

I've never liked the reminder to set fire groups either, for what it's worth.

I reserve my right to make stupid mistakes!!

Toggles off this sort of thing would be great.

Maybe they could be linked to Pre-Flight Checks - which i do toggle on from time to time.

maybe we should report it as a bug anyway? Chances are they might fix it without reading what it is about...

“Dear F...”

“Your issue has been added to the list of known issues!!”

“Huh?”

It’s not a bug, and that’s why it’s not on the list - it’s what devs designate “working as intended “. That’s the problem. Stephen please try to understand that the people posting in this thread (and numerous other threads) about the gamey immersion-breaking button prompts are doing so to highlight the poor design choice made to have these prompts permanently appear, rather than temporarily as part of a tutorial mode for new players.

I do hope someone in the dev team is taking note of this matter.

Hmm... Post now stealth-edited.

By the way, if you have some long controller set up for this, for instance, mine is pressing two button at once - it just displays "Press To Disengage"
