queue monitor :O Pure awsomeness!!

[netnazgul]

Yeah, the feature seems great. Hope that tournament and engame hangup bugs are fixed at last too

[John]

At least one case of hangups has been fixed. There may be others, if so we will continue to investigate.

[SeraphimLoki]

Hoooray! Found first bug. Trashers after beeing killed are still standing. All the trasher in last game i played havnt felt.

[John]

I'm seeing it with all units, but not 100%. Looking into it now.

[SeraphimLoki]

well i did just two fights and it happened only with trashers, both mine and my enemy (deus you bastard). Nazgul reports it happened to his raidmasters.

John, have you been looking at the QA? I left a bunch of messages in the chat, THR, WM, and Raider are still freezing on screen after their deaths. Only had one issue w/the SA not being able to lay coals. Raven had suggested I go and test the newer ones. So, just curious. The Matching System now is awesome. Kudos.

[stoicmom]

i've experienced varls and raiders, but no archers remaining standing upon a kill. it really was quite funny

[AnotherPersona]

No, the SA - sometimes you won't be able to lay coals, you can click all you want.

[Aleonymous]

I've had TH, BB and WL standing. BM/SA/SS and SM dropped dead fine.

And yes, the new matchmaker notifications are extremely helpful! Thanks a lot for that

[John]

The Standing Dead should be fixed in the 1.10.51 hotfix which just went live.

[roder]

Thanks for the update, the queue monitor function looks awesome.

EDIT: The free barracks slot is also much appreciated xD

[AnotherPersona]

The Dead bodies are still sticking around. Go for the brain John, the brain.


*Seems to be working fine after restarting steam. Global chat is awesome. Love you guys.

[stoicmom]

W A Y to G O, John!! The match banners are ingenious AND global chat is back

[Tirean]

Love the queue messages John

What is a little annoying though is that if I am queueing at a different power level I have to go out of the game and remake a team. By time I have done this a game could've been found for the other person. Maybe in a future patch we can have team storages at different power levels. Say you can pay renown for an extra "team slot", this then allows for us to just click a button on what power we want. Saves a lot of time.

I am not really sure about the global chat It can be annoying, if there's people harassing it... Doesn't matter if its for their own "good" reasons, or just for the "fun" of spamming. Especially when vividly chatting with battle-opponent, global messages flood the chat horribly... Perhaps some tick-box to be able to disable it when in-battle, or a different place for it to appear?

Yes! This feature would be great to have, and it will perfectly compliment this new jump-straight-in-match feature.

[John]

Yes, we want to add the ability to assemble multiple parties, then it would just queue you with all of your 'active' parties appropriate for your queue. For instance if you had a power 2 party and a power 12 party, only the power 12 party would be queued in Ranked or Tourney.

Or maybe you only have 1 'active' party at any time and you can just quick-change it in the PG or the Great Hall before Queueing.

All this post-launch, though.

[netnazgul]

Concerning a global chat ingame - would really prefer it at least optional, was comfortable with no global chat at all

[Tirean]

Its quite annoying having to read other peoples conversations while playing a game. A tick box would be much appreciated.
