Criticism - Journal 2.5.0 (lemmy.world)

This is refarding the slot in the journal where the game keeps a track of all the floors and important landmark and presents in a list format.

2.5.0 update has made certain changes that I find it disappointing than the previous one.

The prev format was simple and even highlighted the floor the player is currently on. NOT the case now. It neither highlights nor the presentation is simple but comes with an unnecessary icons attached to every landmark which is quite unnecessary and not appealing.

Also the format of the list has changed with floor details now shown side by side order rather than the straight chronology which was better.

I think there's no need to tinker with the format. It was perfect in its presentation until now.

What's the logic behind adding grass and other icons to the floor details? It's quite distracting.

Please restore the journal to its original format.

As a long time player, I agree it is a very big difference, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's worse. There is more information automatically recorded that is very relevant when ascending/back tracking, and doing this would have been very awkward with the old format. I don't think players should have to open the notes 25 times a playthrough just to record floor modifiers. While you could suggest a way to improve the current system, I feel that simply reverting to the old system isn't the answer.
