I'd like to make a suggestion that the splash screen (the one that mimics the website front page) be set to show up only once every 24 hours.

It's extremely frustrating to have to clink off this screen every time you enter the game. Especially after being dumped to the desktop by a video card or coding error and then try to get back into the game before being awarded a time penalty for leaving the game early.

Thank you for your consideration,
Ayrmoon

PS: Keep in mind also that now, you not only have to click away the splash screen; you also have to click, select your mech, and then click again to re-enter a match in progress.....

A very good suggestion, if you have a Twitter account go bug Russ about it.

It needs to happen and should happen, but won't get seen here

Thanks Cathy... No twitter for me. Maybe you or someone else would care to do that? Posted Image

Plus, I couldn't see anywhere else to give "Feedback" to the developers. All of the forum areas that I saw are locked so that you can not start a thread.

A lot of times they are contractually obligated to show splash screens for 'x' amount of seconds.

I'm talking about once you get into the game. The one that has all the items that run by the main MWO website's front page. Posted Image

If I could I would like your post 25 000 times, I would. Maybe PGI would notice...

The splash screen is horrible. It looks bad, doesn't fit the rest of the interface and keeps coming back.

And the new match joining dropdown menu... oh that hateful dropdown menu....
Honestly, I'd like to meet the person who designed that and ask them "What was your line of thinking ?"
It has a nasty habit of cancelling for no reason and has literally NO PURPOSE other than adding time and mouse clicks to the UI.

The old system was fine (although getting dumped straight into the active match you were in after you log in would be MUCH, MUCH better (WoT does it this way)).
You can't do anything else with an IN GAME mech other than rejoin and you can't do anything else with a free mech other than go into a new drop. So what's the freaking point ?

I have another suggestion...

How about getting rid of the bug that makes that splash screen unresponsive. Its frustrating having to kill the process because of that.... Specially when you want to re-join a match.!

talking about the one that has news and stuff on it when you log in into mechlab.
