thundersaver, on Aug 01 2012 - 13:33, said: If UI changes are made, it would be more appropriate if one whole bunch of changes, not just fonts button style or the background style. Although its commendable that work is being made to improve UI, why not give an update in the future for a fully customizable UI and just put this down first if that direction is already being pursued. Right now as it is, the update does not look significant and the time to fill in this "details" could be used to develop other in-game opportunities.
Just an example: when the UI to the tanks in the garage changed, the pop-up icon to display relevant stats added, the changes of color to something brighter, and many more during the release of which patch i have forgotten, added a lot of flavor to the game. This UI improvement would need to introduce more differences for it to stand out as a good patch or update. That is all i would like to say, but keep up the good work of improving the game , cheers.

bronco330, on Jul 31 2012 - 19:16, said: I'm curious about some of the columns in the team panel. I'm guessing the 87% for the Maus refers to health left at the end of the battle? And the 2000 refers to the amount of xp he earned? (since the silver star typically means xp). What I don't see anywhere is an indication about the total damage output by each player in the battle, not just your own damage output. I know a lot of people have asked to see that both in-battle and in the post-battle screen, so are there any plans to add it?
Regarding the display of team xp earnings - I think I like it. Have you considered displaying that as a "normalized" amount (ie. before premium/bonuses are applied) in order to make it more comparable and less confusing? I can see the threads now... "how did so-and-so earn THAT much when I did ___ and only earned this much?"
On the whole, looks like a lot of great things and I'm looking forward to it!

Yoott, on Jul 31 2012 - 20:21, said: MY guess is a few weeks of testing at the end of August into start of September and release being somewhere in the first 2 weeks of September as they posted a few months back as the timeline for it.


duke1000, on Jul 31 2012 - 20:30, said: Nice outlook. I guess the only thing i would add would be in the settings section to help people improve their fps. That would be more settings that people can shut off through settings rather then going in and trying to do it manually or with a user created app (which doesn't always work).

While you all work on selectable battle modes.  Don't forget the selection for NO ARTY matches.


cascade, on Jul 31 2012 - 19:50, said: So if I don't like a specific map with the tank I've chosen, or if I just don't like the mix, you then have no objections to me leaving you and your team short?
I mean, WG isn't making the game exactly like I want it the moment that I play and it is MY play time.
Personally, I don't think you should be able to start a new game if you have a functioning tank already in a game. (makes botting more difficult and dropouts have to wait). even if they suicide scout thats fine with me versus the alternatives.


Conflict, on Jul 31 2012 - 22:00, said: The frequency of the new game modes most definitely needs to be reduced, I swear, it feels like standard battle is some mythical special item that only appears once every 20 battles. ffs


Panzerleiter, on Jul 31 2012 - 23:21, said: I second Tishr's suggestion that random selection of game modes remain an option.  Many of us like Encounter and Assualt battles (yes, you can win Assault battles on the offensive), and allowing them to remain random for those who prefer it so would keep the population of those battles up.
