GAME SUGGESTIONS: New UI Design - Pet Peeves? Started by: Squishy on Dec 29, '09 11:57

The only thing that would make me extremely happy (look how easy I am to please) is to see everyone from my city in the 60 sec list in 1 colour.
I still think RH/LH/CL should also have the green colour when they're in your crew. Right now I have half PHI on my contacts list just to see who's on and thats high maintainance, doable but lots of effort adding them all.

I could argue that for a war if a Godfather (Caius) for example just "steals" a city that would be a major disadvantage though, perhaps a reward for living longer than 10 days in the city? Etc etc :D

My biggest pet peeve is with the boot replier option. There needs to
be are you sure button for it because accidentally bumping it and
loosing a poster in that thread that shouldn't have been booted sucks
and with asking about fixing it with the help desk they said they can't
fix it. Okay in basic video game design when something is able to be
broken or make a mistake you should be able to fix or be able to undo
that problem no? I have only been in school for two years learning
about video game development but you guys most likely been in the field
longer then i have. Not to be taken in a bad way. I mean truth by it I
just started about 2 years ago learning.  Also I have been in the mmo
community for almost over 6 years now.

For example like in World of Warcraft you accidentally delete and
item that you didn't want too you have 14 days to get it back before
complete removal and that tells you when you go to delete it do you
want to destroy "said named item" then under that has the option Yes or
No.If making a simple mistake of deleting it you can contacted/put in a ticket to talk to a GM and have it sorted out.

We make the boot person permanent for two reasons - so it is taken very seriously, and so that you can not be threatened or intimidated in any way to undo it. There are people in this game who will stoop to lows beyond what is morally acceptable - and by making this permanent, it offers somewhat of a protection from these people - knowing that whats done is done and no amount of  intimidation can change it - its now a lost cause. When we design a feature we always have to look at the abuse side of things and factor in all "worst case scenarios" - this is why this feature is the way it is.

My biggest issue is when all the topics of the threads are bunched up, most of the time they got spacing and stuff but on other forums they are really close together and it annoys me.

That is all.

OK, I kinda figured it out.

If a title needs two spaces, the thread titles are all spaced out and I'm happy.

When all the titles are only on one line, it's all close together and makes me unhappy and hurts my eyes.

Could you just space them all out? Would help me a lot.

the only pet peeve i have about this set up is the lack of decor like pictures representing but its not a big deal to me.

I don't like the plethora of colours. I know the code must be used to display things in different colours on the 60s list but frankly seeing half a dozen different colours in a profile does my tits in. Is there any way to limit the over zealous use of OMG SHINY WORDS LOL?

Secondly, if I resize MR (I often play in a small browser window) it simply cuts off half the site - so you'll have News & Info, Manage...and the just Prof-. I'm not even sure this is possible but could it be so if the browser is resized...so is the actual website?

And just to echo what was said above, invert ze colours please :)

personally I don't think a facelift would serve any purpose except maybe to peeve off a bunch of people. I like the gray!

Report Post Tip

I'd love to see a Vote page rather than those + symbols at the top of the screen... they just look scruffy to me.

From a practical perspective it would then enable you to label the banners/links/whatever so the one with a timer is obvious - this should improve your click to vote ratio for that site (I imagine it's quite low at the moment).

Report Post Tip

The only thing I can think of at the moment is that I'd like to see the "Reply" button and the "Reply & Delete" button in the reading mail screen switched.

I think the assumption should be that we will want to archive our mail for possible later use.

I'll get back to you with more if I can think of any.

YES YES YES

This bugs me every time I glance at it, on the front page...

"I assure you, there has been NO mistake." the man behind you growls into your ear
as he presses the cold steel of the .45 deeper into the crown of your skull.

"The money, I'm sorry... It was the money!" you cry back in a humiliating attempt at saving your own life.

The crown of your skull is hard, to "push the cold steel" deeper into it, you'd probably already be dead from the massive crack in it. If you could just change that one word to "base" it would do wonders for my OCD.

I don't have any pet peeves. I just would like to see a new skin on the site, make it look more graphically enhanced so you guys can market it and get some damn IA's :P

1. the colour

2. The color

(spelled both ways just for you Squishy)

I have gotten eye strain several times this last year and the worst case was when I was writing a long RP (ok, so I was coding at the same time but still)

The color.

SOme people might complain but the site works pretty well on my iPhone, so keep the drop downs the way they are :D

Obviously the cities are listed in alphabetical order... I've searched high and low, and I can not seem to find some logical order of which the CL's are listed aside from by city. It would ease my mind to know if 1- there was any order at all, and if not WHY NOT?!

The logical solution to me would be to put them in order of either...

1- The day they were authed

2- Rank

3- Whether they're accepting/not accepting new members.

4- Alphabetical order by name

All of those of course would be subdivisions, the first division obviously being their home cities.

Report Post Tip

They're categorized first by city... then alphabetically.  ...You didn't catch that?

Report Post Tip

I don't know if there's any reason for it or not, but the invite requests from CLs used to disappear after you accepted an invite.  Now it doesn't, and it's... well, to just me maybe, kind of a nuisance.  Any way it can be changed?

They weren't when I made that, thanks much.

I think it would be beneficial to some people (or at leat me) to have an option to enable frames, ie have either the site as it is, or the site as it is in one large frame with an additional small frame at the top. The frame could contain basic links and info, such as when you have new mail or have news, which I never know when reading threads such as this one (I use a mini laptop). It could also have links to petties etc, which would save on scrolling.
