Important suggestions:

When connecting to a matchmaking-server or match-server:
-Show the "how to use your controls" on the loading screen. This is interesting for new players.
(Maybe redesign it so its better to understand : Explain how sprinting works. Explain how walljumping works, pinging, spotting, redblocks, blue blocks, adding buddies, graples, bunkers...)
New players dont understand how this game works!

Current Loadingscreen:

Redesign & Show this: Nobody knows what the word "stamina" means.
Image

Call of Duty example: Show new tips with every loading screen. = PERFECT & GOOD LOOKING.

In lobbies:
- A small button ( with an arrow ) to hide list of players. ( toggle )
- A small button ( with an arrow ) to hide masters. ( toggle )
- Show ur current score & Show the score of the best player ( the king )
- Killfeed is behind 'masters'. Because the background of masters is transparent its looks a bit weird.
- Increase #match-servers to improve user-exp & waiting-times during this PS4-competition.
- Remove lag-compensation to improve user-experience. Only a player with a bad connection will lagg and complain instead of ALL players.

-Team v Team checkbox:
--> If checked: Your team ( 3players in a created team//same tag// same clublink ) vs another team
When there are no teams on the server you just get matched like it is now.

In matches:
- Player icons ( before a match is starting and you can see how many players are connected ) redesign to fit Shootmania-Style.
- Redesign "Do you like this map" to fit SM-Style.
- Display " Searching for substitute" somewhere else ( maybe in a corner somewhere & play a tiny sound. )
Currently the font-size is too big and its right above ur crosshair in the middle of the screen. :cry:
*PLING* Looking for a Substitute* ( remove " A player left "... its too much info )

- Offer a rematch when all players all still connected.

One of the few suggestions I really like.

Shouldn't be only on matchmaking but everywhere in maniaplanet servers... I already suggested it in the wishlist linking to a post I did on other thread.

If there could be some kind of public co-work with nadeo+players, to write down the important things to know from the game+maniaplanet platform, it would be nice :D

Ty for this w1lla, there really is a lot of information on that wiki, but not all blocks are explained. Its a bit outdated I think.
But I still think that my suggestion to add better loadscreens+tips would help out a lot of players and the explanation on how things work should always be in the game and not somewhere else ( wiki ) :oops:
Do you agree?:D

The matchmaking server hardly ever starts a match when we are trying to play on it. We play in the NA servers and today we had 9 people in the server and a match wouldn't start for at least half an hour. I was just wondering if there was any reason why that is.

My little brother ( 7 y old ) has 39k and doesnt get any points anymore on the beginner matchmaking server.
He is trying to get 40k so he can play on the 100k server with me.

( I rly dont play on the beginner server because beginners dont rly like that )

Is there any explanation why he doesnt get any LP anymore?
