Moved --> Feedback

Yeah, will take a little bit to get used to but looking great! Shame I still cannot get the new map to work on my phone..

I agree with you Carrera. There's so many bugs and dodgy links in this new layout. Maybe a week or 2 of testing before going live would have been a good idea.

List them then, no use moaning, help out you bums!

Ok on my computer now, is there an easy way to get out of the new map? I can't really see one...? Is the Morale Icon in the way of it? It's kind of overlapping it a little bit for me.

hmm i like the layout alot !

but is there a way to input a numbers of units to build ? i mean the slide bar is cool and all, but i like round numbers and i can't seem to get it right...

Hi all.
Overall the change has been long coming, and I am glad it's finally here. Thanks for the hard work gents. It does look good.
My overall feel for it, is that it's good but there is a couple things that are hard on the eyes.

-The biggest one for me, the left menu is very difficult to read against the background. I think there should perhaps be a semi-opaque background against the text. Perhaps my eyes are just getting rusty. The gray text in general is difficult to read against the vibrant background image.

-Unit creation/assignment scrollbars are fantastic, but It's hard to get an exact number with it, the number display should be changed to a changeable input field that can be modified manually.

-There is no way to navigate (without using the "back" button) away from the map because the menu bar dissapears. I know this has been like that even on the old UI, but it does interrupt the flow.

-I'm glad we lost the Microsoft Clipart for many of the actions. +10 points for this alone

More of a question, with all the overhaul of the UI, are we going to see an update of the unit and planet artwork to match the new UI? The black boxes around the units detracts from the overall feel.

Artea, if you are in the new map above your menu bar on the left you will see a link saying "Other". Click it, it takes you back. Have a bit of an explore

Thanks for the new look. Here are my suggestions after a quick peek.

a) The background image is too overpowering for the font type. The translucency needs to be changed to make it less dominant.

b) The light gray lettering is difficult to read. Please change it back to solid white.

c) The font is at least two point sizes too small and also squished together. The spacing between letters needs to be increased.

d) The Galactic coin image has a solid black box around it, instead of being clipped to just the pile of coins.

e) Same issue with the graphic on the Research page as in d).

f) As in a) on the map page the background image makes the actual map near impossible to read. It is headache inducing now.

g) Kill the slider bars everywhere. Especially on the build pages. I'm anal about my buildings and troops and only want precise numbers of each. Maybe in its place, add a max build, or max send button to go along with the numeric  input.

h) The yellow voice boxes, are a bit too bright and too big. Also they overlap the type beneath them.

cant scroll across when using the old map

Chief bum signing in.

Don't get me wrong. The new look is slick and has potential.

To make the game playable again:
Fix the font colors, and/or background panel colors.
Make it possible to type in amounts as well as use sliders on the units, spec ops, and research pages.

To make it prettier (list not exhaustive but all that comes to mind right now):
Fix the formatting of the icons at the top of the planets page.
Change the back link on the map menu to say 'Main' or 'Home'.
Make the top links, i.e. rankings, forum, etc, open in a new tab, if they can't be displayed with the side menu intact.
Fix the rankings self ID color bar.
Change those bigass yellow speech bubbles to something a little more subtle.

hmmm...nope, but its a good try tho, I'd say it belongs to 2001
