Hey folks,

Seems to be a little confusion over the queue info feature that was added last patch. I'd like to introduce Prof. Dakka to explain how it all works.












See ya on the battlefield!

[Tennex]

awesome thanks!

amount partially filled indicates elapsed time?

is there any way to know if the matches in session are attack/defend or counterattack/hold

And the non-hardcore (PUG) queue percentage info.. will someone be along to explain what that really means, in short order?

[Xetelian]

Not even a bit sticky.

PAINT is OP!

What about when one strike team has a larger arrow than the rest?...

And it may just be me...but the arrows face the wrong direction, imo...

now such a thing should be ingame because for th other 80% of the community that is not looking at the forum.

Along with Ghost Heat values.

I pretty much already figured all that out on my own.

There is one thing I don't understand yet, and it's not covered here. What do the 2 triangles made up of smaller triangles above the planet to the left and right mean?

Maybe text mouse overs on components at a later date? Or an information symbol you can click?

That was answered in the 12-player strike team slide. It is redundant info.

I am d'awwing my eyes out at how cute this is.

[Goosfraba]

You drew those yourself, don't ya.

If you want some cuteness bonus for new players:

Introduce Prof. Dakka into the UI (seriously!) as an interactive assistant by click on an area that need explanation for the player.

It should be activated by a question mark button in an obvious, standardized position.

Having a relationship with Microsoft, I would hope PGI would understand the downsides of that type of "assistant"...

Nice info Paul... Useful info...

And... Prof. Dakka is the Jerk !..... J...

The left side/set is Attackers and the right side/set are Defenders.

It's not so obvious until you see one queue (of Defenders or Attackers) being greater than the other.

[Anarcho]

Instead of prof. Dakka, how about a hot babe with a huge clevage?

Also we need some of those advertisement banners, where you have a crosshair and enemy mechs on the background, with wordart font saying:"Destroy the enemy now! click here and play free!" That sort of thing...
