The banners across top and bottom of screen when approaching islands have become an unwelcome hindrance.
Lately many don't show until you have pulled up or even passed the bloody island.
Why must these overlays take up valuable screen space? Remember not all players are on the HUGE family TV. Some of us have modest sized monitors.
Even then, why do we need banners top and bottom hiding the more useful information?
A simple banner across the top of screen that only shows for outposts or islands that are on your voyage would be of much better use.
Leave the health and ammo indicators in full view, not obscured by excessive banners. We don't always sail to the island, sometimes we swim there from floating supply barrels, shipwrecks, etc.
It would be nice to know your health and ammo status when sharks are about.
This would also prevent the blocking of the "set sail angle" or the "set sail length" caption. Things you actually need to see when pulling up at the island that you should already know the name of.
Also many pop-ups are covered by useless information (other pop-ups) at outposts whilst cashing in.
So please don't use the same space to promote more than one type of pop-up / hud display. Carefully plan the UI.
I'm sorry but sometimes it's like Rare haven't even played the game.
