Well, some say hey its not big deal, but let me count what is PGI forcing us to do each game while its totaly not neccessary and they can already fixed this after 1 week of each issue.


1) main screen SPAM advertisment page. - 1 click
Can this be somewhere "unclicked" ?
annoying to click it every single time when starting the client, and it slows down the start, becuase its downloading JPG on background everytime.

2) EXPAND ALL button - 1 click EACH game
its over 1 month old issue, still not fixed. I think they are just lazy.
I dont care if its somewhere else in their program code, from the player perspective its same filter option as other option on that screen.
extremely annoying

3) 3 orange SPAM windows on main screen - 3 clicks EACH game
14 days old issue.
did you PGI see how it looks on 1280x720 ? or 2560x1440 ? SCALING, jesus.
UGLY orange spam.


I read patch notes, and none of the 3 annoying clicking is mentioned there.

So how many click do we have to do EACH game, PGI ?
Dont even try to think to keep it there on steam release. shitstorm imminent.
Why such annoying bugs remains and are not yet repaired ?



Its devaluing the game from "trying to be steam rdy" into 3rd class india.

I just wish they'd allow us to automatically skip those crappy advertising animations before the login screen comes up. You can kill them with spacebar, but not until they've already loaded and started to play- so you have to sit there every time spamming space until you get past it.

Think it through a little, especially considering the game start-up and 1st pop-up advertisements.

I'm deeply upset about the need to press a button to fire my weapons. PGI should fix it so it fires automatically as soon as it is over an enemy under the correct range. This is going for years and no one really cares.

*cough* I don't have the client open right now in front of me, but I'm pretty sure there is an option in settings to at least "Hide Tier in front end" ... who knows, maybe there's other things in there for similar "needs."


It just feels like someone needs something to complain about... as if we didn't have enough reason as it is.

They really need a good UI designer. Right now I would be happy if they just have a UI designer with common sense. Exiting the game takes too many clicks.

click > log out
click > do you really wish to log out? yes
click > exit
click > are you sure you want to quit? yes

aaaa, thank you, I forget this one.
It should be 1 click on logout, which should immediately close the game client.
But hey, what about nowadays ADHD kids, right ?

live , yo lack common sense too.

1) no i dont care about color scheme, but about the fact the windows cannot be switched off.

2) no around may 2015

3) there are 989898 threads about balance, all same ****.
No one mentioned this.

4) sry for wrong wording, ill be better.
4a) not but steam users expect at least some quality, no 3rd india handmade game.
4b) indians ? you on drugs ?

5) tryhard fanbois are the TOXIC of this comunity.


1: They are a part of the home screen.. what are you trying to replace them with? I don't get you.

2: You will soon learn that PGI's smaller staff means that the smaller changes come infrequently, usually as part of much bigger changes.

3: No one mentioned this because few see it as a problem? ("Are you sure?" Logging out or leaving app questions are common to every game.. ermehgerd WoWS just asked me to click twice to leave my match?)

4: a & b- You might do well to look up the difference between Indie and India.

5: I'm no "fanboi" but I do believe in putting effort where it matters, and not making big deals out of very minor items, such as 3 windows on the home screen. (Which has very little else.) That is called "Noise."

While I agree with you that they really need a better UI designer...

Alt-F4 > logout and exit all in one.

Totally agree, this is NO BIG DEAL.

I'm fine with it, HOWEVER, I do agree there should be a user option to default this off, if there isn't one already.

Meh, I'm not bothered by this in the least.

I think this is overly harsh. Yes, some configuration options for the user interface would be nice.

I know that I wouldn't have designed THREE buttons for expanding and collapsing 'all', it'd be ONE button that changed it's label based on the last click.

So I'd use the button that's on the 'mech inventory view window (y'know the one with the little triangle), I'd have it that by default, nothing is expanded and the button is labeled "EXPAND ALL", click it, the window expands, and the label changes to "COLLAPSE ALL".

I'm all about saving your interface real-estate for 'future' stuffs...

Edit: Something along these lines:
