Subject: »[info] Dev Diary #76: Nothing is Certain Except Taxes

Then think back on how it was when you actually were a newbie, back in the days...

Did you need the numbers?

From what I recall from that time, I was thrilled to see a pop from excellent to formidable in stead of from 10 to 11.

Numbers are for lazy people :-p

The new player page is too big.
The old one is better because in a second you can see all you want to know.
Next to that you can click on the skills to see the talent directly.

Really hope the old one will stay.
With some mouseclicks he is still there :)

numbers and skills must remain. Skills are essence of sokker and numbers are important for newbies, but the parentheses should disappear, they look very ugly. And also color the skill on the pops and downs.

Numbers are accurate, words can introduce some confusion.

and to answer to your question , yes number are needed to see quickliy the progress, I use it

You prefer humanized language like ultimate or divine? Average or adéquat ? Sheep ? Come on, you never read G. Orwell :-)

indeed,sheep are better! :P

That's why both numbers and skill nominations should be made choosable together or separately. There's too much difference in opinion about it.
I can perfectly work without the numbers...I've never used them, not even in the beginning.
I just ''learned'' the way of the names and which comes after which.
But if all there is left are numbers, this would turn out boring. I see numbers everywhere I look. I don't need a game that gives me more numbers...
But a game were I can work my way up from tragic to superdivine....Now that's worth playing imo...

Something else... It's quite easy to fix imo...


Invited for friendly match:
USA zrezygnuj

I have my language set for English, so I don't think it's opportune to place ''withdraw'' in Polish for NT match invitations...

Thats how it should look for me:

+1

But if we add words, the table view will inevitably overflow in the viewport : thats mean we need to horizontally scroll one by one each players to see all the skills in some screens. . Unpractical (laptop and tablet currently).

- We can reduce player avatars to save some width. easy.
- We can use responsive design to stack the columns to 3 to 2 or 1 column for tablet or small screens.

Also, note that weight and height disappear (but who care ?) and we have also no clue about T.D 'subskills' XP and T.W skills. Some we need more spaces than your mockups.

Exactly,

Skills nomination first and then to have the option to hide the numbers so we make this game a little more "human".
Actually *ady* didn't say the opposite, the problem is the focus on numbers.
We already had the option to show skills numbers, just needed to make it the default option so newbies are not lost and old users could change the settings as they like.

Still don't understand why the devs lost so much time and energy on this horrible new design instead of fixing and improving slightly what needed to be done (ME, UI and bugs)
I am ok with the 2 games per weeks and bigger leagues, doesn't change fundamentally the game but come on, training and youth school are now perfectly fine, why do they want to change everything when it doesn't have any real added value ? Real added value were ME and UI improvements + bugs correction in order to have a better game experience.
We will have anything of that unfortunately...

Just hope old users will not lost the feeling they have with this game because personally when I will have numbers everywhere and chaotic information on each pages as it is now well this will give more headache than working so I am not sure I will be willing to connect to sokker.org...

I am not sure I will be willing to connect to sokker.org...

Oh yes please, do that :-p

Putting some smileys in each of your messages don't make you more "cool", just stop this bad habit so we can see your true face mister know-it-all

Do not answer. He wants your attention, don't pay attention to him.
