Whenever I wanna type someone I lost on ladder it says "User is not logged" which is clearly a lie. Is it really time to migrate to SB? This coding is ridicilously bad. you can only write to people on the same server. the ladder person was from a different server. | ||

Is there a way to type him, let's say if I put server name after his name? F.e. Nickname-USWest something like that. This system is honestly garbage. | ||

Just an idea. If that's something you've already done or are interested in doing, please let me know. I'd need a 1920 1080 resolution graphic. Ideally, the graphic would contain all the useful bits of information about SB that you deem necessary to include. My discord is also oxtQ#7362 sure thing, I'll work on something! On July 12 2021 20:59 Qikz wrote: tec this is more a personal request but do you have any ability to edit the actual in game overlays? Having the observer overlay on replays would make things a hell of a lot better for usability (i.e. unit bar in the bottom right and playback bar in the middle or something as it's always hidden). These sorts of things are definitely possible, but it's not necessarily a simple task at this point, and not really a high priority for us atm. So something like that could/probably will happen in the future, but no idea when. | ||

We're pretty close on observer mode as well, but it needs a few fixes that didn't quite make it in for this update. Should be out in the near future though! | ||

Basically it has to do with making the server more accessible and appealing to Latin Americans, given the great number of players (and fans/viewers) from that region of the world. It would help increase the player base of the server if that's something important. (I don't think people from outside of South America would complain about attracting them since one of the main contributions of the server is decreased latency between players from different regions?) In any event, if that seems like a reasonable thing to do, then perhaps a Spanish translated version of the site would help in this regard? Or promotional graphics (in Spanish) to raise awareness around SB, which some of the famous Spanish casters or streamers could help promote (such as Jan, Deathfate or popular players such as Terror and Dandy). Of course, a promotional graphic in English would be great too, especially if popular streamers who have substantial audiences like Artosis, Tasteless, Falcoln Paladin, BSL and others could use to help spread the word. | ||

Definitely not silly or unimportant! Localized versions of the site/client are definitely something we want to add in the future (ideally with an easy way for community members to help contribute translations, since it's a lot of languages to potentially support), but this is probably a bit behind the other main things we're working on atm. In short, that's team matchmaking, improved netcode, and enough chat management capabilities for SB to be viable for tournaments to run on. After those things get in, though, we'll definitely be looking at how we can expand to other communities we're not currently reaching. On August 14 2021 16:39 Bonyth wrote: Good job, but there is one very important change to be made to attract many people to SB: static turn rate for custom games. Only because of it i'm not getting people to test out Shield Battery We've been looking at improving the netcode more recently, and while we definitely *could* add static turn rate settings to custom games, I'm hesitant to put in the work to do so at this point in time. Firstly, because I think with a few changes we could make TR24 quite viable for a much larger part of the population. Secondly, we'd like to revamp how turnrate works entirely, so that the game always operates at TR24 but has a configurable turn buffer size. Both of these changes potentially involve revamping/improving the dynamic turnrate algorithm. So basically, we can either spend time adding support for this setting, or we can spend time on the improvements that make it unnecessary and are way better overall.

Maybe eventually, but at the moment I think it's a defining feature and there's been plenty of people who logged on thinking they'd hate it who have really liked it. I know you complained before that you felt it was too blue (and there is an increased blue component in the unexplored fog, so this could be something we adjust). Is the reason you want to be able to turn it off because of that, or because of something else? | ||

I really hope SB can attract more players, the only thing I'm missing is being able to consistently find a ladder match... I don't know how many foreign streamers have played around with ShieldBattery on stream but I imagine just having someone like Artosis mention it live would bring more attention towards it. Keep up the good work guys. | ||

Keep up the good work guys. Matchmaking ladder 2v2 would inflate the number of users even for 1on1 imo | ||
