launcher and playability since patch

[Ashog]

I would also like to have 2 server browser. One in the luncher to join directly a server, a second one ingame when I left the server and I can switch the server in the game wizhout having it to close and start the game again to join a server. But I could also live with just one server browser in the launcher.

Imho better have a serverbrowser on SD DB stats page by FireTeam. Probably produce a small plugin for major webbrowsers so that one can launch game directly from let’s say Firefox browser by clicking on a server in there. Splatterladder did that with W:ET and I liked it. If there’s a way to do it w/o a plugin - even better.

I am not a specialist in these things and probably wrong but if SD (which I am sure they are) not going to skip the launcher completely, the web-browser based serverbrowser has to (via e.g. a plugin) initiate the game launcher execution and transfer the connect info data (e.g. server ip and game profile data) to the launcher and the launcher has to receive it and also have a button similar to the steam’s (like in Brink) called “Connect to the gamestate” after which the launcher will connect you to the server ip received from the webbrowser plugin. Sounds complicated but it probably isn’t, especially for pro’s like jRad.

The advantage is that the webbrowser’s severbrowser could be easier and more frequently maintained on a webpage by FireTeam and will be integrated into various cool server browser and game stat features, on the contrary to the second gamebrowser in-game which will be probably less often maintained/patched.

We need an irc addon. Firefall has one and its very nice. Makes it easy to chat cross regions and set up scrims and pugs. You can connect to any irc server/channel you desire. Even the devs use it to chat and fix bugs from their internal test servers.

Is this addon called “mIRC” ?

Nope, its a player made addon that uses the in game hud/chat to allow you to also chat on irc channels.

What is wrong with Batlelog if I may ask? The only annoying this is updating the plugin but otherwise it seems to be working a lot better then any of DICE’s previous server browsers which always had been utter ****.

its screwy at best, and a resource hog at worst. i liked the concept, but the implementation left quite a bit to be desired. i did enjoy having a browser out of game so that i could look and see what/if servers were populated, but if i had my druthers, i would just prefer having an ingame browser instead with /connect functionality. i realize that they want friends lists, and chat features ectectect, but currently its just redundent

If you want to keep the server browser open in a small window just hit alt enter which is a common shortcut to going into windowed mode.

I’d like to see the launcher well-integrated with the future clan system. (Clan forums, chat, news feed, invite/kick players and view member applications, a recruiting board, calender for showing upcoming matches and practices, and a tournament browser/ clan challenge tools, match statistics/replays?)

Hmm. You realize “utter ****” is your reference point?
It can’t even manage to save all of my filter settings.

Playability = really better, getting the right way.

And I love the new medic, just awesome guns
