[Discontinued] Ethereal FAF Client 1.0

I’ve always thought that the sword icons were really unintuitive. Crossed swords for “playing” is probably fine, but there could be some better icons for “in lobby” and “hosting”. And also please give them tooltips so you can find out what they mean from the UI.

@askaholic Sure about tooltips. About intuitive.. welp xD I dont much games and have not seen any others clients xD Open for suggestions, i will try to realize some thoughts

Some visual changes of available games

Looks good! What does the green text in the black box mean (i.e. the 6 and 65 in the first 2 pics)?

@maudlin27 That was first examples of ratings changes. You can actually see the final format in the next picture

Global rating changes after one game during current session

Yeah, real dick move, I know, but I thought we are way past DOWNLORD'S faf client...

@fiercelv ofc

What about this?

https://forum.faforever.com/topic/3364/visibility-of-a-game-lobby-hosted-by-a-foe?_=1644828214490

Can you make those foe-host lobbies go away?

An option alike "Hide Foe Messages", but instead of messages it will hide foe-host lobbies?

No one seems to be interested in this besides me and that one other person.

@fiercelv there will be options to hide foes messages/games

Nice!

Some preview of news in Home page

Can i suggest just removing titles for games? Most multiplayer game lobbies don't use them and it would make the game list less cluttered. I often see offensive titles too unfortunately.
If the game list just showed the map, map name ( + version), min and max rating, mods and maybe a cpu max that would be enough.
If no min/max rating was used during setup, then it's all welcome.

@scout_more_often Players is not used to use ratings ranges when they create game. There will be too much misunderstands => community will be more toxicity

Actually not bad tho

@Eternal the only issue with your news hub implementation is that it does not seem to be putting the article in order of Importance
