NEW 4PC SUCKS i HATE iT

Please post here to share in the disdain for the new 4pc standard and the new server. Nobody wanted this, nobody asked for it. 

Waah Waah waah

Is anyone else starting to feel like the only adult in a room full of crying toddlers?

Nobody wanted this, nobody asked for this.

New 4 player chess board is amazing

No need to change it 

My rating is 2100+ in 4 player chess and I know it's benifit

H4.

Imagine listening to the player base

I like more the new 4pc standard too

To be clear, I have nothing against democracy, but is it just me or people got it too seriously? Admins who decided to do merge have their reasons for that and normal players like the most of us don't fully understand them because we don't have to understand them. If you don't like new 4pc, leave, if you do, keep playing. Everyone here knows that next month nobody will talk about merge anymore and for our good let's concentrate on important things.

im very sad i was 2600 in hyper and chess.com destroyed it

2600 in hyper is not hard

Happy they finally doing something something about rating abusers/rigged games.

At least I assume this "Deal" button is there for this purpose.

So I'll give this variant new server some time before I go full against it, but here's what I see:

First: I don't understand the logic behind encouraging feedback from the community and then calling them "crying toddlers" for their genuine feedback.

Second: Is there no anonymous anymore or is it cleverly hidden? If there is no anonymous games, I see little reason for people high on the ffa leaderboards to be happy risking their precious ratings with full potential for targeting. 

Third: Is it a bug or why is there no indication of rating ranges for open queues and spectated games?

Fourth: What is this system for setting limited rating ranges (-50, -100, -200, -400, etc.) when the settings for making one's own rating ranges in increments of 50 all across one's own rating range were perfectly acceptable before? 

Fifth: I also don't understand how the "Random Rules" in the so called "Mix and Match" section helps promote quality or clarity in 4pc in the least along with the enumerable variants offered more than half of which are dead or simply absurd.  

@ me next time. I understand how my comments could conflict with the views I represented previously as a member of the admin team. However, my comments above are my own views, and do not reflect those of any other member or team. I'm genuinely disinterested.

4pc is its own thing it is not a variant of 2pc. also the knew layout is just bad. 

Thank you admins for working on this but I have never understood why we have to merge 4pc with variants.

Definitely going to miss FFA rating system. Everything gone to solo mode at higher level  There were at least two people gaining rating, now it is only one. Less winners, less smiles, more toxicity - not good. And app. <2400 players seem to have the same sense of 'balance' still.

I also very much preferred the way that someone's ratings were shown before. It is rather difficult to understand what is happening at the moment when everything is on top of each other in rows.

And changing from ffa lobby to teams lobby is annoying. Why is there a lobby in the first place if 'Play' section gives the same info?

I do like the new option to do self-paired Teams play, the only good addition/change I have seen thus far. 

Bringing 4PC into variants is like giving into them.

What happens with issues like bugs now? Where do they go? 4PC or variant team?

same here. The four player chess club has turned into the four player crying club.

1. Not everyone is "crying", some have genuine feedback
2. More like 100 player
