As the title says, I don't think I am a fan of the new harvest screen design. The new one has decreased the size of the trophy icon (bronze, silver, gold, etc.). What I enjoyed about the larger size was that it felt like I was being rewarded, even if I had only gotten a bronze ranking. I also noticed that the class icon has been removed. Iconography is important for visual wayfinding and I believe this change makes the information harder to consume. The left side details from Class to Trophy Organs no longer takes up as much room. While white space is great depending on the situation, having the text be smaller now makes the screen feel unbalanced. There isn't a lot of text, so when it took up more space and the text was larger it felt justified and balanced the interface since the info fit the space perfectly. I have the same comment with the right side of the interface. It just feels empty now. Also, Trophy Rating and Harvest Check are wayyy too close to each other on the left now. Some things got too much room to breathe while some other things are squeezed together. I think the old one was fantastic, there was little that felt change was needed on. Generally I love when things change, progress is always the best! For this one, it feels like we took two steps back instead of two steps forward. I love what you guys do, but I wanted to air my grievances as a graphic designer. I hope this was helpful, definitely did not want it to feel like a dig whatsoever. Let me know your thoughts and opinions on the new screen!

Yep yep, same opinion.
I love on the new design, that you can see each shot you take, also the weapon, bulletsize, and distance.
But thats sadly the only possititve thing I can say, otherwise I liked the old one waaaay more

I like the new design of the truScore section, but everything else feels a bit too empty now, and, unlike on the old one, the text telling you what you hit doesn’t even roll to display everything if you hit many organs. I also much prefer the old way of displaying the class of the animal with the actual class icon.

I agree as well, the old one was way better. This one feels too minimalist

honesty my only problem with it is 1.Trophies are way too small
2. Medals are too small
3. Shot list not rolling to see everything you hit

Been said a few times but...yeah, there's way too much empty space in the new screen.

One thing that really need to be added to the harvest screen is an indication of the rarity (or not) of the fur/plumage type. It needs to be clear to the player that a particular animal has an uncommon, rare, very rare type without looking at a chart somewhere. While we all know that albino and melanstic animals are of course very rare, most players might not know that "Mixed" feral goat (for example) is also very rare, and then not taxidermy one.

Agree don't know why they changed this unless they have plans to add something else later... There were other UI things that needed updates ....

They changed the harvest screen even further. Now you have zero information about your shot beyond what organs you hit. No shot distance or what rifle/caliber you used.
