Server browser: what are we doing, and why

[gouxim]

Browser messed up ?

Browser totally messed up, I mean I see now locked servers ( also empty ones ) already on the first page.

Now I have to browse a lot of pages to see some crowded servers.
Why not put crowded servers in front ?

What was wrong with the old browser anyway ?


These little things getting me from playing TM.
Didn't bother the bugs are late updates at start , but this is realy getting no ware.

Come on Nadeo.

Can you provide details: which title, which browser (station or intitle), ideally a screenshot? The sort order theoritically hasn't changed with the new browser, and i can't reproduce.

[hackie]

Well if you can see at the picture above , the first crowded server is shown at page 3.
I also see locked servers. Back in TMF and early start Maniaplanet they where all the way to the end of the browser.

Who needs to see locked servers anyway ? They are mostley private and not open for public.

For example :

I just liked the browser from TMF, most popular servers in front and the locked servers at the end.

What are those nr's meaning btw ? Under level.

Like I said , another disapointment.


Oh btw , when I edit cars ingame ( Valey , Canyon or Stadium ) and save them , the game does not make an icon to show car in car browser.
Uhm , it does make a icon file but the file is black when I open in photoshop.

Okay so it's not about empty servers. The browser have always sorted servers by "level" (the coloured icon on the right), that's why you have to navigate through several pages to find servers with lots of people. Nothing new here.

As said earlier in this topic, we are soon going to add sorting on other criterias, by cliking on the columns header. Then you'll be able to sort by number of players - and that was not possible previously.

About the locked server, we display them because there is yet to be a filter to sort them out. But they aren't *that* many of them.

We want to improve the game as much as you do - if not more. This topic is to discuss with players to see what they like and don't like, gather their feedbacks. We are here to help - so there's no need to be rude

Can we get a list of active game modes? Positioned below or to the right of the server browser, for example.

That way I can see immediately if someone is playing Heroes or InstaDM, and after clicking on one it would filter servers for that game mode.

me rude ?

Well if I said anything wrong ( another disapointment ? ) then here I give you my apology.

You no nothing about that "saving car without icon" thing ?

Oh , I forgot that we could browse for country's too.

Example : Euro / Netherlands / Overrijsel

That seems to be gone also.

- u cannot browse below continents
- u see private servers all across the pages (just a minute ago i had 2 on page 1, 5 on page 2 for example)
- u cannot filter private/public servers
- u cannot jump pages (so if u are on page 16 u have to click 16x again to get back to 1)
- u cannot see a overvieuw of modes (u have to know the name for search)
- loadingtimes are sometime realy long
- had allready 3x times to restart mp, cause list was not loading at all
- legacy browser is not working anymore - so no option there

I thought about a comment i wanted to make to this, and i do apologise in advance for the only thing i do come up is that this is far way the biggest fail i have seen in the 7 years im with the game now. its ...... unthought of..

and for the love of ....pushed all over everything - could u have tested it on 1 title before?

With regards,

Weerwolf

What happens when you the browser is not loading?

I can use the legacy browser without any problem here. What is happening when you click on legacy browser?

About missing filters, they will be added (with some other cool features).

They will be added ? Cool features too ?
Don't make us to exited now.

Just one question :

Why do you then add an unfinisched browser ???
Why not finish it first , test it on a Nadeo server and when it works then put it in update.
Now you have a lot of disapointet , angry , ....... players.

If you buy a car You also expect youre wheels a few weeks later ?

I'm out for now.

Thanks for everything Nadeo.
We had some nice years Community , thank you all. Love YOU.

Goodbye.

[novationx]

yeah actually I would prefere that way of working too
Release when its finished.

And show uw a screenshot of a designed/finished serverbrowser before the release to create some "excitement"
Just my 2cents

[Boo425]

Personally my favourite browser version was from mp 2... but that might be because I had to use it for so long. The only thing I want in the new one is:
-Able to refine to countries
-Able to refine to custom modes
-Able to refine to public only/Hide empty
-Search feature
-Skill arrows
-Server titles (duh)





Aaaand that's my 10 cents worth!
And now I'm broke again...
