There are multiple issues:
  • If you have All chat on, then pregame, post-death screen and post-game all default to All chat. Only post-game should default to all chat. I cannot count the number of times people have accidentally destroyed strategies by accidentally typing them into All due to this bad default behavior.
  • In pregame, post-death, and post-game, you must click on the text box to place the cursor there before you can type. There is absolutely nothing else that typing can possibly do on these screens. The cursor focus should automatically be in the chat box and there should be no way to remove it from there.
  • There is no way to add a person you just played with to your friend list in game. You currently have to write down their name and retype it. This is error prone, unnecessary, and just enough of a hassle that most people don't want to bother with it. As a result, the social aspect of this game is greatly impaired.
  • The fact that social aspects of the game exist is not obvious. The one small icon on the bottom is so subtle as to be easily missed. I had 1 friend who played the game for over a year before he realized friending and grouping was possible.
  • Grouping is awkward both to get into and to leave.
  • There is no good in-game method for finding units or people to play with. Most people interpret this as there not being a way and never join units or make friends.
