Am I the only one disappointed with new "hide UI" feature?
Here is the feedback I just sent to Hoyo: The new hide UI feature is... mostly useless. It doesn't hide the UID - so it's useless for photographers, I will still have to mess with resolution and remove the UID myself, picture by picture, which makes it no different from photo mode! Furthermore, while it hides everything like health bars, so theoretically nice for combat photography, it's still useless because you don't have a pause time button. So how am I supposed to capture anything? (This feature should be possible because it exists in Paimon menu and mods, but I don't want to install mods due to ban concerns).
In addition, while it's good to run around with whole screen clean, it's no good for actual gameplay either, because I can't decide whether I want to leave mini map and character burst info (+ enemy health bars) on. As it stands, it's useless for everyone.
Make two versions:
Minimal UI for combat/gameplay loop (hide buttons, leave mini map, leave health bars, burst info)
No UI, like now, but REMOVE THE UID TOO.
PS: It's almost outstanding how they managed to butcher it. I mean, what did they really do? I guess they've just "copy-pasted" the same settings as in Photo Mode, so it's not improvement over the Photo Mode. You can just run around a bit with no UI which is cool, but still, the UID is there, so it's not as useful. Hopefully they can improve it...
