Lobby
« on: September 09, 2012, 05:59:52 AM »
Can we have a better image of the pilots on the lobby screen? Its a bugbear of mine to keep seeing the very dated graphics. Yes, I get that changing the ingame troop graphics is a lot of work, but if we have a nicer image to look at I'd be happy.

Everyone does, until they choose their arena.

Really? I just get a brown box and a list of arenas to click on?

There is a check box you can select to open the lobby. This is basically a small chatroom before you enter the arena, I believe designed so you could find out about the fights etc in the arena and could chat to people if the arena was full until you got in. However the graphics are now a bit dated and not up to par of the other graphics we have.
However if it will take away resources from other areas (HE111? :pray) then i'd rather have it left as is.

I'd rather see the Lobby as a place to play cards; gambling for perks or something.

This is by far the best idea i've seen yet in the wishlist forum. Add Texas hold'em - i would put my perks up for that! You get a total perk amount (i.e if you have 20 fighter, 20 bomber, 20 vehicle then you have 60 total perks) when you game you have 60 perks to play with, whatever you win or lose, gets divided by the 3..

So you could "All in" or lose everything :) I would certainly be a fan of this during hoard hours :\

Can you imagine the whines when some one loses? "Cheater!"

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Love it. Is there a game folder I can drop it in? or does HTC have to make the changes for it to work? Either way, its a small wish I'd love to have granted
