Feedback Game UI and map

Hello,

I am relatively new to the game so I still got some experience from other games.
The game is alot of fun, however I think the game UI and map can be improved:

• 1) Map transparicy:

The minimap (or map what you prefer) often comes into the way of combat, you can't see the enemies clearly. On the other hand the map is an important tool to maneuver through the map fast. Thus being able to make the minimap (or map) more transparent would really be awesome.
In Diablo2 you had the option to fade around yourself or to fade all. For an example see screenshot 1)
1)
Minimap is "hiding" two enemies, see red box.​

• 2) Game UI elements: The game is quite cluttered with elements.
  • What I find good is that you can uncheck Quest and Chatboxes, which you don't necessarily need while playing and fighting you can occasionally look at them when you stand.
  • What I find not good is the menu at the top (including currency and my premium Icon) - it looks very good - but while playing it often gets into the way and is just annoying; for instance when shooting from range to a mob that is also shooting at me from range you often get onto a button or can't see enough. Thus being able to fade these elements aswell would be really awesome... Especially because I do not need the menu anymore since you can just press the hotkey. For an example see screenshot 2)

2)
Menu buttons sometimes get selected when trying to target enemy, see red and white box.​

• • Also the spelltaskbar could be smaller - because the current big taskbar makes fighting mobs at the bottom more difficult, and when you use hotkeys you don't need that size of buttons (just an option).

These were my thoughts to make the combat and hack'n slay element of the game more fun.

Thanks for reading and maybe considering.

 

Personally i think the map is fine. but i agree with your second and third point. there s something like hud locking being worked on (so you cant click on the icons) but it should be taken further. Like making these bars transparent or slide up/down off your screen or become a lot smaller or being able to click on the map behind those bars when they are transparent.
