Suggestions - Improvements to be made

[RatskilleR]

Menu - It is a unnecessarily complicated thing that should be way simpler and more intuitive.
Making different game modes look like they are completly different games and the system in general is kinda odd for new players imo.

Replay - Should have a lobby where you invite ppl to see a replay together ( good for teams to spot mistakes)

Edit - Should have an option to see a crosshaid and the hit feed should also be possible to be visible.

Elite - As it is the most competitive mode it should have such features. A League system would be great in my opinion , it makes players more active, play more serious without having to find a practice, and having a ranking system that actually means something not just the amount of time played as a main factor. A copy of the Starcraft's system would do the job .

Chat system - The id could be linked to steam so ppl can add them directly and open chat conversations directly from the game.

Black shadow zones - Since the last patch (i think) the poles are in a strange shadow that makes players really hard to spot , this happens in most maps.

Anti-Cheat System - Some kinda of anti-cheat should be created or the game will simply fail

Good point! Well, the system makes sense to me, but there should be something at some point explaining the difference between stations like the regular "Storm" and for example "Royal".

Do you mean in the replays? If yes, that was already updated. In older replays, you still can't see the "+1" etc., but in new ones it works.

Sounds to me as if the shadows need to be re-calculated on such maps?

It seems to be in the making:

We are still working on it, we are still in beta and we have still other things to do on this, but it is a important topic for us. We just talk less about it for some obvious reasons.

I know that it's not everyone that knows this but at spawn, you can press f1 to have the explanations of the gamemode.

-They added +1 in the replays since the last update, but no crosshairs and no killfeed.
So I can save my epic round vs Dignitas and people dont believe me it was vs dignitas... ( just an example )

-The gamemode itself shouldnt be explained. Its already explained in the spawns/serverscreen ( right before u join a server )

- League system yes! Now its just whoever has no life is first.

- Some extra integration with steam should be nice! When you do 'buddy' it should add him on steam. Nadeos chatsystem is so buggy atm. ( the problem is : Not all people play with steam. )

- Shadows are terrible indeed. The last update was a couple of weeks ago and almost every server still has bad shadows. The problem is that nobody knows how to fix this. ( Recalculate them sounds like Chinese for the most of us. )

- Anticheat : YEEEEPS. ( however I only saw one cheater ever! )


OTHER SUGGESTIONS :

- Planet Shop / ManiaShop : Nobody (90%) knows how to spend planets. Make it easy.
--> A shop with the most sold items on top. Categories as 'Popular', 'Most sold' , 'Newest', 'Skins', 'Horns', ...
Planets are so cool and now nobody uses them :/

- Pingchecker to keep snap low.
--> When someone has a bad ping, then give him a warning. After 30seconds he gets autokicked.

- Avatars névér load. Nobody sees my avatar. Why do I even have one? 2days later they can finally see it.
The same is for adding friends, new horns, refreshing servers. The game is always one step behind.

- Let me remove old avatars from the list.

- Let me remove friends from my friendslist with a simple 'x' or delete button.

- Let me remove favorites from my serverlist.

- Give the chat windows proper focus. I lose focus with every sentence I write. The chat is terrible atm.

- Give the chat(ingame) different colors. Teamchat = white /// chat = yellow

- Remove clutter from HUD ingame.

- Let the scoreboard update faster. Remove players from the scoreboard who arent on the server anymore.

- Documentation on how to move on different blocks. How to walljump/rocketjump and use your stamina properly.
Just a tutorial button in the main menu that lets you see a simple movie is better than noting. An interactive tutorial ingame would be awesome. New players dont even know that they can walljump or that they have stamina or what it is.


Some of these things are so easy to realise and should be fixed asap. It would make most of us so happy.

No, you got that wrong guys We're not talking about gamemodes but about the stations in the main menu.

[dreammyw0w]

to explain it over there already would be a design pain in the but.
Dont count on this to ever be realised.

[mzhh]

Ye, i totally agree with Dreammyw0w's points, plz NADEO note it!

- I set my graphics really low to get maximum FPS, but regardless of my settings, it's 60fps max (hops between 58-60 all the time). these are the ingame settings i use.

There's "compatibility" button in Display settings (as seen in that video at 2:46). Are you sure you don't have "maximum FPS" set to 60? Also if you have Vsync turned on and your screen refresh rate is 60 Hz, it's quite natural to have 60 FPS all the time.

Some nice ideas here, i suggest you post them HERE too!
