Muliplayer menus changed

Post by skalamanga »

Before the update I could click mulit-player and then click all and then choose between zones or players. It displayed multi-player rankings for zones and I could choose to see what players were online from any zone.That is now gone. Well I cannot find those options anymore. Why? :?

Also busy servers are now on page 10 and others further down and more. Empty servers are on page 1 and 2. Why? :?

Servers which are far away from the start are using the old server version.

Yup legacy browser blocked by maniapub ad. (so no good)

Things I dislike about the new browser..

1) No quick button to see servers in the country I registered in
2) Shows the number of seats available per server (for ranked server this is irrelevant and for non-ranked servers, well bragging rights :lol: )
3) Does not show what ladder ranking the servers are. e.g. 70k 80k etc.

Thanks for your feedbacks.

1- You should be placed in the country where you are at first except if there are less than 10 servers in that zone.
2- It's already displayed or I don't understand what you mean
3- It's planned

he means that there's no reason to show that number, and I quite agree with him. the only really necessary thing to show is if the server is filled or not, and number of overall seats just clutters menus more. by the way, colors are somehow bad, it was easier to read all the information on white background. and no hover effects in serverlist. and "hide empty servers" doesn't work.

1 - It does not default to my country, ok there are only 3 servers in the zone (1 being ubisoft) , but that's a bit off putting to new players as they will never ever know that their country is hosting any servers unless they click on world and go through the whole list.
2 - Not serious about this one, was just saying that I don't really care how many players a server can host.. just seems that maybe some servers say 150 will get more attention than others.

Other than that, no further complains from me :roflol:

also, somewhere a nice idea was said: why not make dropdowns instead of buttons? top ones with country/gamemode/blabla.
