@scout_more_often I had an idea of centralized database of notes so everyone will see the notes from others players, but some one said this is gonna be an explosion xD imagine also a 5-rate system... XD
Social scoring is highly questionable and also wide open for abuse.
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they live underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is playin' FAF, playin' FAF" -
@brutus5000 That`s why notes gonna be saved locally
-
Suggestion:
- A filter for custom games like
- do not show me games with map XY
- do not show me games where rating range is under/over 1000
- do not show me games where title has the following keywords in it [noobs only, welcome all, noob party, any insults, only RU, etc]
- Show me when the host has created the game. 5 minutes ago, 1 hour ago, yesterday

Yes of course. But we should never shy away from doing something positive just because some will try to abuse it or find a way around it. A shared rating system would help reduce toxicity and any exploits or methods of abusing the system could then be looked into and investigated. In life we must take positive steps regardless of how negative people may react to them.

I like this idea of only showing me games I can currently join. My small concern would be that it could make the lobby look quite empty at times which may put off players, so possibly there could be a small comment on the screen saying eg 10 games currently filtered out so it is clear the FAF community is still thriving

Reduce toxicity or a way to amplify it? What about the ANZ players that are going to get murked by everyone marking them a lagger which creates a giant snowball effect of them never getting into a game just because people see their ping is 450 in game?
Then you also have the dual gap lobbies where dudes enforce military discipline about cpus and mark people as laggers because the game went -1 at min 15.

Advanced chat menu?

I would politely suggest the issue here is that FAF is not educating players that a ping of 500 or less does not affect the game.

I understand there will always be hardcore players. And while no system would be perfect, it could be evolved over time. Off the top of my head, for example you could limit the amount of feedback a player can recieve per game or you could monitor the players who give an excessive amount of negative feedback. I'm sure there are many possibilities. I think all data is good and can be used as a foundation for further decision making.
I apologise to Eternal if I've made this thread go off-topic. The work so far in his client looks very sexy indeed
-
@scout_more_often nah, its fine. Lets fire this place
-
I think, i can make a possibility for players to mark some comments about them for review by moderators so then they will make decision about keep that comment or not.
-
Emojis right here.
Format:
:name:i downloaded pack for discord with some additional information as
â„–-at the beginning, made some workaround, so i think it will be more easily to add new emojis in future
-
Home page concept design.
Embedded browser is expensive, and I think its useless as page and I came with idea to create some home page with all stuff in compact mode. Design was stolen xD
Stuff like best players, top played maps, stats, etc
-
@Eternal Ooo im liking how you have intergrated the news
-
I like the addition of livestreams. Not too sure about the redundancy of the lobbies though. Feel like it takes up screenspace while being far less usable then the global games tab.
-
@techhousenoob In this lobby list will be only best lobbies, that will pass through special filter
-
Being able to connect again without Steam would be nice. Steam's cancer, plus already got the game form GOG.
-
Beta highlight of chat improvements.
Base fundament for next future stuff like player card on click on player nick in chat
-
@zsombi This is not Going to change Steam link is their for a reason
-
Variants of chat bg
