I like having all players being ranked overall rather than by best on team. Occasionally it showed you who the real stud of a match was. For example in a match tonight (Sorry no pic, bandicam wasn't cooperating) I ended match with 50 more points than next best player. Making this more remarkable...I was on the losing team. We lost 3-8 and I still kicked more *** than everyone else.

you just killed your own argument.

i hate new board cause old board told me who was best.

But did you get more XP than the winners? That's the kicker. The scores now are basically damage + 20, seems kinda stupid to me. Taking off a guys' components or actually getting killing blows and assissts don't matter anymore on the scoreboard. I did like how the old scoreboard was one list instead of two though as you said.

i'll agree there the tabs are a little annoying.

Easy, take all this new info on 2 pages and put it back to a single page.... and remove that silly 'If you had Premium' +Bonus crap... it'll all fit on a full screen.

Just because I can read it doesn't mean I like how it's presented. On the old style post map rankings I would have been on top. Now I'm at the top of the losing team.

PRO's
- looks pretty
- more information is good
- ability to chat before and after match
- allows players to stay in the game long time after match

CON's
- allows players to stay in the game long time after match
- locks your mech up so that you can't use it to cue up for your next match for a loooooooong time
- i have to switch in order to see my XP and Cbills
- cant see XP gain of other players (maybe this was deliberate)
- your pilot name is not denoted in the list so harder to find yourself
- seems to make dropping take a lot longer. noticeable increase in time before the match starts
- takes way longer to get OUT of a match
- not enough color in the GUI

And that is the place where you belong,
it is a team game, if your team loses, it doesn't matter what kind of hotshot you are, you are the best of the losing side, end of story.

it really bugs me that it seems to take a full second for the scoreboard to animate mid-game when you just quickly want to flash it up to see how many players are still alive

would love a cl_fastmenus=1 option :/

[Termius]

The only thing that bugs me about the new scoreboard is the fact that your mech is stuck in match until everyone leaves. It's only a difference of 10-15 seconds but it's annoying

Other than than having to wait even longer to use your mech it's a vast improvement. And I'm sure PGI is aware of this issue.

But it's pretty much a guarantee that anytime something changes someone is going to whine about it.

A free game trying to encourage people to spend money. The horror.

i must admit i liked the ld one better overall, i like the faction icons in the new one and the fact you can talk with people (but theres no scroll on the chat so as soon as everyone starts to dc the text dissapears).

[Warrax the Chaos Warrior]

All joking aside, I generally like the extra information on the new screen, but it isn't very efficient. Could use some tuning.

[Chavette]

It will get tuned next few patches, dont stress it.
