UI Suggestion: Change in terminology and icons

Sort:
Green_Sleeves

Now that 4P and 2P variants have been put together in the variants lobby, I'm wondering if it will be confusing to new members who have never played 4PC before. In the lobby, there are games labeled "Teams" and "FFA," but people might not know what those are.

My suggestion is to change it such that these games say "4PC Teams" and "4PC FFA" instead, just as clearer labels to help make the merge smoother.

I think it would also be good to add the 4PC icon in the area where it has other icons (like fog of war, koth, promotions, etc.), just to give a visual representation of what the game is (see below).

Make your own spam forum about it.

This is a decent suggestion, and I really don't want it polluted by the new 4PC haters

I agree that the new one is bad, but everybody is spamming it

Well, they could just hover over the challenge and see the position...

I made a forum a while back: https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/suggestion-completely-lock-hyperbullet-for-new-players

Basically whenever you joined a variant in 4PC, you would get a message warning you about the rules; and I suggested that the same should be done for hyper.

Now that the merge has happened and we have a lot of new players, maybe it's best to warn players for every single new variant; regardless of how annoying it is...

Do you expect a brand new player to know to hover over the position?
