Instead of calling Fizzer's work garbage that you still inherintly use, suggest improvements to current features. People on the live-stream noticed a bug and fizzer Fixed it on stream (or wrote a note to fix it). Fizzer's current roadmap:

Making the game more user-friendly
Attracting more players to the game

He said that he barely makes enough profit to keep this game running, so he is trying to increase his profit so he can hire developers or something. There are definitely people in this community that would work for fizzer for free, but most would have to get paid.

the way the dashboard is set up nowadays doesnt help in any of his goals

he mgiht eliminate the other tabs but the dashboard needs to be improved a lot

That's what he is going for then. I'm sure Fizzer knows what to do

the dashboard has been created for quite a while ago, he would have the time to improve ti before making it mandatory

windows 8 comparrisson is wrong these changes are vista-like.

I seriously hope I'm wrong about what Fizzer is going to do. He's never once (To my knowledge) gone back on an update before, but the outcry against this most recent one is greater than any controversy before. Hopefully it has been noticed.

You don't understand the problem here. The reason everyone is mad is because a user friendly,convenient,organized system was taken away and forcibly replaced with something that's quite the opposite. There aren't many suggestions for improvement to the Dashboard because a large majority of people don't even want the dashboard to begin with. They want the previous system which worked perfectly fine.

I think every developer has the drive to constantly advance and update their creation, however, just because something is new and shiny doesn't guarantee it'll do the job better than something a little older.

Eklipse, do you want a house where the only heating comes from a fire? Cos a fire does the job just as well. Do you want a deathtrap of a car? Because it gets around just fine, until it (insert explosion, crash or flip). Do you want a life without plastics? Because wood does the job just fine. The dashboard won't kill you. Also people hated coin games more.

Totally different things. You don't like coin games - you don't play them.
Now you are forced to use thing that is worse than something you used to use.

Nah Thomas. Instead of a normal computer I want a computer with an advanced OS that crashes left and right, because hey, it's new!

I don't want just a smart phone, I want a smart phone with GPS tracking systems so I can be located by anyone no matter where I'm at! Because it's NEW!

Find a better analogy. The Dashboard doesn't represent some grand leap forward. It's a new system that utterly fails to provide the things it's predecessor did. Old doesn't equal bad and new doesn't equal good. It's a matter of what works, and what does not work.

Also, you're wrong about the coin games. Those were opposed by maybe 50% at the most, take a look around on this thread now. There seems to be a vast majority against this new update.

Someone's having computer problems... (may I what laptop and phone you own? Sounds like Windows and Apple respectively, but not sure)

Seriously, I don't think that it is that many people (about half in both cases, merely that a lot of the people stating that they like it stated it once). And you will learn to live with it. By all means have a whine, but remember that history is on my side. And remember that generally, WarLight is better now than when you started playing.

@ thomas633
it seems you ahve completely misunderstood the problem ppl are having with the dashboard.

If i use your idea of a comparrision with a car. The dashboard tab is like a fancy new car with a giant LCD screen on the back of the driver's seat , a coffemaker next to the stearing wheel and a toaster above the gear shifter (gear stick). I don't really need these features, i will not use them but they will annoy me constantly.

Actually my computer works fine. I was making fun of your analogy and making a statement that slightly older tech which works is better than something that's new but defective in some manner.

By all means have a whine

Actually, it's called protesting. Because it turns out that there's some people who when they disagree with something decide to actually speak out, instead of just following the herd.

I stated earlier that raging against Fizzer won't accomplish anything, and I still think that's true. However, I'd like to believe that a majority of people making logical points as to why the new system needs to go and the old needs to stay would actually catch Fizzer's attention.

Everyone keeps talking about the majority, but the only evidence you have is from this thread - there are thousnads of people who play warlight and about 50 or so people on this thread, who's to say you know what everyone else prefers?

Personally I am also not too happy about the changes to the open games tab, I found it easier to refresh earlier, but Fizzer is trying to get rid of all the flash pages on the website, which I think is a good thing as it keeps crashing on my laptop and pc.
If this means we have to get used to a slightly different way of finding open games then so be it, are you telling me you have never had to get used to something you didn't like before and ended up preferring it over the old option?

Also the twitch update was awesome and will hopefully make more rt tournaments come up and more live streaming of such tournaments - overall it was a good update.

Edited 8/3/2015 13:52:45

OK, I have had a chance to check this out...I think this update is fantastic.

Thanks Fizzer!

The history UI is a MAJOR upgrade. I hated having to move that window all over the place. I hope this happens for the chat sometime as well (and when that happens I REALLY hope he can have the chat with more load options so it isn't just new or ALL chats...something in between)
. I also love having all the orders selected. I give this 2 BIG thumbs up.

I also really like the Fog history as well. Great idea (I did not even see that suggested).

The RT bypass Filter is a cool idea, probably will never apply to me as I don't change the filter. Same with Twitch, don't care about that at all.

I don't see any negative really. I am not a big fan of the dashboard (I would like to see some forum preview options there added), but I have been using it for months and I won't miss the My Games tab at all. I'd like to see some upgrades to the dashboard, but that is about it.

Edited 8/3/2015 13:51:59

I absolutely like the update too, as I'm already used to the dashboard since a while now the loss of the open & my games tab is no loss at all, only thing it affects is that the bar looks better now and the new history is way better (everything is better than a popup in the middle of your screen :D)

This update would be terrible even if the Dashboard wasn't poorly laid out, which it is. There's no reason behind removing the tabs, and the dashboard is horrible for finding new games. Who the hell thought that having to scroll down past every single game I'm in to browse the new ones was a good idea?

Edited 8/3/2015 14:15:38

^That makes no sense. You said it was horrible even if the dashboard was not poorly designed, then the only reasons you gave were about the dashboard layout.

guys...the discussion is stupid...
yes it is right, before all the updates warlight was more userfriendly... myspace also was, and facebook also...
but the developers want to make it even better...
not all updates are perfect, dashboard int that helpfull and the coingames also dont have to be first page...
this is what we can discuss about... pros and cons....etc

BUT WHERE THE HELL IS THE ADVANTAGE OF REMOVING OPEN GAMES AND MY GAMES TAB????

basicly i velieve most people would agree that this might be a decente version but fizer possible moved to fast into the dashboard as it sint ready yet to be the only feature

First post ever! Please bring back the Open Games and My Games Tabs!
