Fizzer, how do I send you screenshots and video's as you ask?

There is no reply or sign up links/buttons on here unless you sign in. Not friendly to a noob. You have to find sign in button on the menu button at top

I agree on width. I do about %90 of warlight stuff on phone, scrolling sidways is not fun. I don't mind if this is temporary, as it is all a work in progress.

The no army stand guard makes few sense to me aswell.
The setting itself leads to unenjoyable chaotic games with far to cheap expansion and far to many orders (endless deploys/attcs of 1 armyy) to make. I once heard you say ppl complain about having to click to much, no army stand guard leads to an ridiculous amount of mini-orders.
Currently we care alot about the surroundings, but the game experience itself shouldnt be left behind, especially for newer players.
I dont think anyone would have any trouble realising that there is always 1 army that has to stay, its also the same as it is in Risk. They may be confused once they are used to it and realise in pretty much every other game that is not possible. Makes few sense to introduce them to something that wont be used in 99% of games anyway.

For me, the deployment mode automatically switching to attack mode is annoying. I understand how this could benefit newer, confused players, but it is a chore needing to switch back to deployment often.

I would appreciate if we could turn this off in the settings.

"I agree on width. I do about %90 of warlight stuff on phone, scrolling sidways is not fun. I don't mind if this is temporary, as it is all a work in progress. "

That's just this one thread because DanWL and Knyte posted huge images.

It's not how the site is intended to look.

I think there should be a horizontal scrollbar put underneath the singular posts that exceed the limit though, that or images should be auto-resized to fit.

"For me, the deployment mode automatically switching to attack mode is annoying."

I agree with this as well. Multiple times it switching on its own has made me assign armies to attack when I did not mean to do so.

I think you underestimate how much of a resource hog the game is in a browser in unity (even after the memory leak bug fix). I assume you have powerful computer, so you probably don't see how it makes the browser increase CPU usage. Some users with older PCs (less RAM) will have the game crash, or load slowly. This is why people are saying it's crashing. I think it still needs more optimization and

An increase in the number of clicks is a huge annoyace to us. Even one extra click is annoying, because we do that action multiple times a day, and now it takes longer. Can you find a way to reconciliate a link to go to the forum from the main page?

agree with too many clicks needed with 0 armies allowed. Especially on mobile. It's fine feature, but can't see it as default mode.

Why was the Small Earth auto QM template changed to no army stands guard?

It's really just to make it more newbie friendly. One of Quickmatch's design goals to be a new player's first multi-player experience, so making the template as easy as possible is important.

Most people start in single-player, and they may not have gotten very far in before deciding to try out multi-player, and the single player campaign doesn't teach about one-army-stands-guard until a ways in. Therefore, many people jumping into multi-player won't know about that setting, so we want to ease their transition as much as possible.

OK for new players if is good but what is about player who dislike that map and this autopick, why can't they not choose at least the 1v1 strat game (former autogame), this autopick has nothing to do with strategy IMAO especially in a small map. So that sucks very much at the moment.

Delete this.

I think a few small changes could improve the *feel* of the website a lot. Here is my list.

1. Fix the sorting of the items in the drop-down menu. Just make it alphabetically. Clicking the 'Community' drop-down things just look chaotic right now. Same for 'Help', and 'TBest'. I (assume) you have them listed from most to least used, but the way it is ordered now bothers me. {I wonder if others feel the same}

2. Recent Games can probably be removed from the list. I suspect it is the least used feature and for now I don't think anyone uses it. It also seems to query for the recent games every time you go there, so it's slow to open as well. Might be something that can be brought back later, but right now I think it just takes up space in the list. Perhaps someone actively uses it, but I am not aware of anyone.

3. Not sure why there is a black box around my Mail, Lv and coins. I feel like they should have the same background as the other things? That could also end up looking bad, but the way it is now also kinda looks bad.

4. Add a clan Icon on here someplace (In the black box?) We need a quick way to get to the clan forum/page. Alternatively, make 'Clans' under Communitychange to 'My Clan' if you are in a clan.

5. Add Bug Report directely to the 'Help' tab? this one is a bit up to you, but I think it is justified to have it directly under help.

6. Rename 'Contact' to Support, to better reflect what is actually under that page. (At least in my eyes)

7. Coins, Mail and Levels (points) are clickable. So I do wonder whether they need to be under 'TBest' as well. Instead I would make said Icons bigger, to make them easier to click, and remove them from 'TBest'

8. I am not a designer, but I think the green theme is fine. But then again, I also thought what we had was fine.

9. Oh, last point. You are trying to run a company here, so a 1-click way to get to the WL Store is likely something that should be up there. Not that I like seeing adds...but keep reminding me of smokey black and I might 'loose' $100.

The new interface is to slow....It hangs up almost constantly, at times taking >10 minutes to load a page. Hence, I get booted from every game (with >7000 games played and a <3% boot rate, it isn't me). At it currently is, I can't play warlight / warzone any more. I play from my desktop with high speed and very reliable internet, so that is not the problem. I play within Chrome. Never had these problems until the new interface yesterday.

Chasmisties

Here's an example:

Ahh you're right, the coins page isn't mobile friendly. I'll fix that in the next update.

I can't open games on the app by clicking on the link on a browser. No matter if i use flash or unity.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll fix this.

The colours are messy. A clean black or white would be really appreciated.

Maybe you could throw together a mockup showing me what you'd like?

the picture that I've used makes the PostTbl and consequently the whole page overflow.

I just deployed a fix for this, sorry about that.

Georgia army cap template is doubled in QMs

It's simply because two were submitted. Maybe we should enforce that all QM templates have different names.

Open tournaments are so well hidden

I agree, this is one of several things about tournaments that need improvement.

Did you do something with the width of forum posts?

They should fit to the background now.

Giving them a game that's different than 99% of all open games is not newb friendly.

The expectation is that most new players will play quickmatch first, and probably only venture into open games once they're far more experienced. I know that's backwards from what most players are used to now.

Fizzer, how do I send you screenshots and video's as you ask?

fizzer@warzone.com

Thanks everyone for all the feedback, keep it coming!

@TBest I have suggested 5. Fizzer added a link to contact underneath Help when I mentioned it.

I am not sure if it is already named (didn't have the time to read everything), but it is not very practical that you have to make two klicks to see the board behind the fog using the history button now, usually you need that feature every turn :)

The performance problem is real. Literally unplayable in webgl

i'm a member so I can use the standalone client which runs alright but i feel bad for those who doesnt

@DanWL, I just meant renaming the drop-down item in Help from 'Contact' to Support, since it is really a Support page. Of course this being a one-man-show, contact and support are basically the same. But Support is a better descriptive name in my eyes, it sounds more professional.

I like the drop down bar at the top. Though with the renaming of warlight to warzone I hope you know what you're doing fiz, I assume there are alot more hits infront of warlight for different games when searching for that (ios app store, google etc).

Only real criticism is that webgl unity is slow for me, hopefully flash sticks around long enough for some small updates to help that out.

Here is my feedback:

1) Website design
Don't be that hard to yourself, I think all in all it is solid and something fresh. Wait for players to adapt to it.

2) Unity
I am having issues of unity loading very slow (if I play via Browser).

Maybe it helps you:

3) Interface
a) Coin Wheel
On mobile I am annoyed by the Coin Wheel. I do not want to spin it and watch videos, but it pops up every time I want to play. Btw. it happend once I couldn't spin the wheel after I watched the video.
b) Chat on mobile
If I maximize orders or players, the chat window is very small. In don't like that somehow.

4) Quickmatch
I hate Small Earth and I think the template choice of the first templates is horrible. People will get bored and driven away of warlight. Give them a usual and popular template to play and not something like Small Earth with autopick or something like that.

First of all I want to thank you for all the effort you put into warzone :)

Beside the questionable background color :P I am really happy with the current performance and look. Well done :)

I really love the android app but there are 2 things that could be improved.

1. would it be possible to make the hitbox of the refresh button on the multi player tab bigger? I keep clicking on the game underneath.
2. could you fix that the app keeps automatically turning eventhough I disabled the function on my phone. It is so annoying because it already reactes to slight turnings :/

warzone is forcing emails on me even i have them all set to off android app was uninstalled because of this
