agree with Chris' mock up. That would give everybody what they want. Honestly guys theres no reason to be hating on Fizzer here, give him a chance to work with us here. Without him, none of us would have this terrible addiction we call WL.

Would like to hear Fizzer's reasoning behind removing the my games and open games tabs, not sure if Ive seen an explanation.

But my main point here goes with what others have been saying, stop with the hate, and try to offer suggestions to help both parties be happy here

This script that Muli created does much of what Chris's mock-up mentions. It takes less than 30 seconds to install.

And no this is not the biggest outcry. In this thread is about equal amount of people agreeing and disagreeing. The announcement to change the name got almost no one agreeing it's a good name to change to. Only people agreeing that the name probably needs to change.

Coin games had like 20+ topics. I just did the search function and get a ton of results. This dashboard change has 3-4 topics atm. Warzone had similar amount of hits as coin games did.

So you're wrong. This isn't nearly as unpopular as those 2 updates.

Over 150 posts on one topic in 24 hours is a lot more than the other updates received. The others you mentioned did get more TOTAL, over a period of weeks, but this change has gotten all this feedback in just a day. There'll probably be more criticism as other players discover the change.

But this is all really a side point more than anything. If it makes you feel better to be right on this little issue, then fine. I'm not going to argue about it further.

I forgot about this - mainly because I never used Dashboard. Now, Dashboard is definitely better (although it'd be nice if anything/everything could be removed on the right side, but this is livable).

@Xapy tell that to Muli and he might listen to you :)

Why don't you want the dashboard? What's wrong with it? People have been saying it does not function. What doesn't function?

Okay so if you want my opinion with the dashboard here it is.

Pros
1. I had no idea the forums existed before the dashboard and paid no attention to it.
2. I'm perfectly fine with the my games being at the top

Cons
1. Scrolling down to the open games takes to much time and is a little annoying
2. Sometimes my games don't even load that it is my turn or if it has chat so I won't even notice them until like two hours later

I don't know if I'll get used to it (currently I've bookmarked the my games and open games page) but maybe I will

May we please have those tabs back... some players may not use them but a lot did and now we have no way of choosing what works best for us

Line, you can still bookmark the pages, the links are somewhere between pages 1 and 10

I only ever used the My Games and Open Games tab. They're familiar, and easy to use. The dashboard is just a whole lot of random info thrown at me that I personally, and I assume others, don't really care about. Those of us that aren't at all interested in coin games shouldn't be forced to have all of that info about coin games and the coin leader board shoved at us. I understand people are kinda split about it, and some may like dashboard better, but please at least give us the option of My and Open games.

When Fizzer warned a while back that My Games would be going away, I just started using the Dashboard. I HATE getting booted, so I like that it obviously shows the boot time and how long I have left. (Did you think I was going to say I HATED the dashboard? Hope so.) I like how I can see the settings at a glance. I would never have even seen this thread if I was only on My Games. The dashboard suits me well, as I only really play tournaments and clan games, and only rarely look at open games.

Also, why are people arguing here at all? To the haters: When has bitching ever changed Fizzer's mind? To the supporters: When has bitching ever changed Fizzer's mind?

I don't mind the dashboard. I like the open games and my games tab because it's easier. But I can and would get used to the dashboard if it becomes easier to navigate/use the dashboard when I am drunk. Thanks Fiz.

After trying to join games(real time) it seems like joining them was easier with the open games tab. they loaded faster I mean, showed games that didnt start allready. I am biased but the open games/my games is better in my opinion. Please bring it back or make the dashboard better.

So far, I like the updates.
Hate me if you want. :P

I do wish parts of the Dashboard wouldn't overlap.

I also wish I could sort out what games would show up there more easily,

(ie: Multi-day games with a 2 day minimum limit, cheap-to-enter coin games,
diplomacy games, Auto-Games, FFA Games, Lottery Games, etc.)

and Tournaments should get a visual display like the other categories, not just a link off to the side.

did Fizzer even answer this thread?

Nopes, he did answer some questions about it in the AMA though (somewhere in the beginning)

Oh my word, eleven pages of this stuff, people complaining about someone taking away a couple of tabs that only duplicate information presented on the top page anyway. Does it really cause you a problem? I mean talking for myself, I don't spend a whole lot of time in the menu system, and I'm not that bothered about the design of it, I tend to spend more time inside the actual game.

Yea this thread is pretty pointless. Everything that needed to be said was said already.

you certainly are trying to keep it that way

fizzer should participate more with his community, so no everything has not been said, we need this kind of threads active to point out what's wrong and could be improved, but we definitely need FIzzer here too.

or he should have some kind of administrative team which would be responsible to bridge between fizer and us
