• Usually ranked games have a placement period. here we don’t need it since it uses existing solo rank to get initial ELO, however it would be nice to explain that to the player.
    • Maybe a dialog on initial launch, or a “calculating initial elo” animation (even though it’s already pre calcd). would only show on first launch
  • Chat is way better than current chat feel wise. missing a few things to make it even better
    • right now, messages fade too quickly. i think minimized chat should keep showing a few messages (that would fade away after a bit one by one)
    • “enter to chat” should be on a toggle, since it’s annoying to keep pressing enter to type consecutive messages got used to it
    • we should have a tree dots/ right click menu to report a message
  • The hp system should really be 100% off the table like discussed before a while ago
    • including turning off fade to red
    • hiding hp bar
    • the hp bar could then be replaced by a score delta component like the one shown earlier here
  • break could be used better in this mode too, maybe the score delta thing could be shown bigger during break, with each player’s score too
  • Ranked play indicator is a good idea, it’s too visible though, i know peppy said it shouldn’t have any transparency, but I’m thinking that making it something like 80% visible might still get the job done
  • I was thinking that in addition of user tags on/around cards (which are coming in some form), we could have a map preview system?
    • would show a few seconds of the map starting from preview point
    • might be ambitious so probably not now, but would definitely be useful in helping users make deliberate map choices
    • could also be reused in other areas of the game, for example previews in song select, or in mp rooms, or even in skin selection in settings?
  • Needs personal match history and stats
    • I can see it’s still tracked on the profile under the quick play tab, so it’s probably gonna come soon on the website
    • if it keeps the quick play format it needs work though, like showing showing W/L, elo, etc
