Highlight the host Name or...

Post by Terminator »

In MP game usually first question is : "Who is the HOST ?", cause now host could be at any position, so no one knows "who is who".

So its reasonable to tag HOST with something or Just HighLight Hosts name - it would be enough.

P.S. May I recommend to make 2 subforums: one for real and worth suggestions and the other one for dreamers ^^...like "plz for game to C&C generals engine" or "add new Uber super cannon that blast the whole maps with on click". I assume that everybody would make topics in "real" forum, so dev. can easly moves them to another one, in this way next time devs wouldn't spent time on that. I'm asking cause in this subforum good topics can easlt lost with time.

tnx :ninja:

That host thing is planned.

About those subforums; Good idea. Maybe few additional moderators just for moving those things.

I dunno. Think of names for the subforums, then I'll consider it.

Maybe "Improvments" and "New features".
Improvements would be some slight changes, and New features would be something totaly new.
And third subforum: "New Things", or something like that. For new weapons,bodies,defenses(Most of stupid proposals are like that.)

Erm, no. You'll have to come up with better names than that.

A lot of legitimate suggestions are new things and new features, after all.

Maybe "major suggestions" and "minor suggestions"?

I know it is stupid, I just wanted to post something before I go offline.

I like those.
Maybe another;"Bad Suggestions", to show suggestions that aren't goood to onet that want to suggest something.
And it would be Image for bad ideas.

What about just add one subforum for real tasks and call it : "Enhancements".
I assume that in "Enhancements" will be not much topics, or topics that would close pretty fast and marked as "Done".

Please keep the number of subforums to an absolute minimum.
I already think there are too many to easely get an overview.
.. and too many stickys !

It's not like this board gets hundreds of new topics every day.....
