UI Refresh?

I know most games have an "alpha/beta" UI they use prior to releasing.
My question for the Devs, is does Ashes plan on doing a cosmetic UI refresh come beta/launch to make it look/feel more modern? I think aesthetically, this would be a huge boost of "freshness" to the game, and a welcoming one.
I feel like the graphic designer for the games UI versus the designer for the media assets we see on streams (ex: the road map graphic design) are two different people w/two different levels of experience.
I took a few mins a threw together a UI refresh of the skill tree just to give a visual example of what I mean by modernizing the UI. Add some shimmer effects, etc. and I think you'd have a solid winner.
Yes, it's not a full skill tree and buttons, etc. are missing, but my goal was to just covey aesthetic feel.
What are everyone else's thoughts?
