Subject: »[info]Dev Diary #82: Automatic release of NT-players from

LOL I was sure that someone would show up asking to keep the old skin.

You know it.
In Argentina most users use Old Theme... we talk about it

Nice work :-)

but you're sure 80% use new layout?

I know in italy only users who use old skin... like 90%... :-P

But what is the motivation for use old layout?? I don't understand it. New interface is great and it will be accessible for phones too. I think with new graphics would be very difficult keep the old layout. They should work x2.

It´s a "get use to it" matter. We like better the old theme, we are much confortable with it.

Some like Real Madrid, Some like Barcelona.... It´s a matter of taste...

I don´t thinks it´s a small issue. MAny users will drop down from the game... And we dont want that
Don´t we?

The same goes if i told you (nah... The new theme is ugly, just let the old one)


Don´t you think?

Same about tokens, it's some general idea for now, we will talk about it a bit later, to discuss what kind of features should be able to be bought with coins, and what should be a part of PLUS only, for now - we just need to find some place for in on the screens.

There is this old topic, Tasks, Cosmetic and More, you might find some interesting stuff there.
I think that it is absolutely fine to have stuff you can buy with coins that you don't get via plus, IF in-game activity gets rewarded with coins.
We'll more about that late :)

About the interface, I am an old user and I can't wait to ditch the old interface, I like what I'm seeing :)
The "newer" one is horrible, you guys made some good conclusions about it. Even I, as an old user, had trouble navigating it, so I kept on using the old one. It was easier to type "players" in the address bar tha to find the right icon to click.

You really think the devs will spend time, money and energy to maintain an old skin nobody cares about except some nostalgic who started to play 15 years ago ?

You will get used to the new layout as you get used to so many other new things happening in your life...

Not only I REALLY THINK... i almost shure they have.
Is not a nostalgia thing... We know sokker like this.

If you ask what interface can stay, get shure "the old one" will win.

So, if it´s a matter of "not work 2 times" Please Humor us.

Hagan una encuesta seria y veamos los resultados.


;)

I am wondering if there would be more mid steps towards replacing flash, or we will have to wait the new design.

I know the match engine (viewer) is the most time consuming, but I would like the tactics editor to be available because at work we have flash completely blocked XD

Nope the new one would win for sure.

100%

Me parece muy bien que todos podamos opinar.
Por mi parte no hablaré más, dado que no quiero molestar, solo quiero dar mi opinión.

Lo justo sería hace una encuesta básica:

¿Que interface prefieres?

A) La vieja
B) La nueva

y que la ganadora quede.


¿No sería lo mas justo para el juego?
Que los usuarios elijan.

Abrazo grande

;)

Do you think that is too dificult to keep the old theme alive for those users that use it... or something like that. A lot of those users are plus. So.. if you want to offer a product to make your customers happy.. at least give them what they want. It's not something crazy... show that you want them to stay in the game.

You will have all these options in new interface.
If they remove things I understand that you don't want to change, but you will have all these options and new options and you will be able to get used easily. Sincerely, I can't understand this, but I respect your opinion, in the world there are tastes for everything.
Maybe we can have a little nostalgic for the old one, but I think it would be difficult to maintain the two at the same time because will appear new features incompatible with the old one.

New pages for the site are gonna be developed, new elements on existing pages are gonna be added. This is not just the question of keeping the old design, it would require a lot development and adjusting. Web design has changed a lot since the old interface was made. Don't underestimate how big and complex this site is.

I am with Ford: "If I'd asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, 'A faster horse!'" and with Jobs: "People don't know what they want until you show it to them. "

So, here I would say to devs just implement everything you think it would work, and people would find ways to get used to. There are a lot of people making screens and so on.

I would say it's 50/50 among users active on forum, but these who are not active on forum but still playing probably almost all are using new layout
