Three (Now Four) Very Tiny Things to Add/Change?

1) hide bottom info bar during overhead map (on respawn) On most maps, I can't see bots/turrets/stuff because it's hidden behind the bottom info bar. Please either hide it or allow a button to trigger show/hide - similar to the B button when selecting a class to hide classes selected by your allies during introductions.

2) show time elapsed on victory/loss screen, show time remaining on the score screen (when hitting Select during play) The extra places of the timer is great, but it's nearly nowhere close to good enough. A simple solution is to simply hit Select (to see everyone's scores) during gameplay and the timer will be displayed somewhere there. This would remove the need to have timers all over the maps.

3) Allow view of minimap using left directional arrow during gameplay instead of only during deaths.

4) Allow changing of classes when inside spawn while alive (penalty can be loss of juice)

Re: Three Very Tiny Things to Add/Change?

I think all four of these ideas would be an excellent addition to the game, particularly being able to see the game timer by hitting the back button. Good stuff!

Re: Three Very Tiny Things to Add/Change?

The first two ideas I can agree with, but your third idea really blew me away. I found myself saying "I have problems with this all the time!" but I never really thought about how game-breaking it really was until you posted that. It is a tremendously needed aspect of the game that the Devs overlooked, and I personally think it should be implemented immediately via Liveupdate. Get on it, Devs!

Watch as his third idea is so game-breakingly bad that I actually have to edit this post. >.>

Re: Three Very Tiny Things to Add/Change?

third wish remembered and OP updated. I'll love to see first two applied, and would like the third as well.

Well, idea 3 makes idea 1 kinda unnecessary.

Ideas 2 and 3 sound good.

I feel like there's a way to abuse number 4. I can't put my finger on it yet....

3-would break the game. nobody could hudini your turrets anymore.

4-would need to make you lose juice AND killstreak.

1 and 2 are great. The minimap coming up while you are alive isn't a good idea IMO, because then you wouldn't be able to sneak bots into the other team's base nearly as easily. That is a lot of the fun in the game is having most of the other team on one side of the map and sneaking a bot line in without them knowing.

4. I actually suggested this to either Scathis or Ekanaut ingame and they said something about not having enough cash to switch between classes effectively. I also think that they said they'd look into adding it in a later patch.

#4 not being a part of the game has bugged me forever, especially in Blitz where it's simply impossible to change classes outright. It just seems so unfair to be doubly burdened when other players join in and can't kill their share of bots, especially when I'm Support :|

3. I've wanted wanted wanted this too, but I actually agree with bro here - it would eliminate a lot of the uncertainty and kinda unbalance things. The hallmark of good sports teams is that they know where their teammates are and are not and play to cover the gaps.

4. agree with bro again - lose the kill streak on after respawn class changes.
