Yeah I, and alot of people I know hate the big **** off white strip at the bottom. It blocks too much of the screen, and nobody cares to see the stupid ass commentators (who are either lagged behind the feed or don't fuckin pay attention to what's happening (kil2)) faces. It's cool to see the details on their speed and who's being hit with what EWAR etc, but the blinding white is too blinding and we don't see much of the actual match.

The new format is much better than the old one.

The only complaint I've heard that has any validity IMHO is that it is too hard to read the tactical inset, and it would be nice if it was popped up onto the main display much more often.

A version of the tactical which had colored flags on each ship that ID'd the team and ship type would be really nice; it would help the commentators explain the strategy a bit better. Hopefully for the finals they'll have control of what goes into the main panel.

1. Scrap the commentator cam for a bigger tactical overlay
2. Make blank white space transparent
3. ???
4. Profit


glad I voted for you : )

Does anyone have a screenshot of the new UI? I'm almost done with my super awesome mock up of a new UI using the same elements, it looks great! just need graphics of current UI so I don't miss anything.

The camera views in the old tournament were cinematic and all but didn't really show what was happening. I LOVE the information in the new scoreboard


Hate to agree with a goon but I agree, mostly. Need to change the white to a less horrible colour and if at all possible only show jams when they are actually jammed, rather than just when someone is attempting to jam them.

And get better internet, HD looked great and ran smoothly

Some feedback from an AT viewer since 2008.

  • I like the content of the white info box. Though not displaying ship icons makes the game look more like an excel game rather than a spaceship game! Also, can you make the white box info a bit bigger?

  • I'd rather see the tactical overlay as the main window as it would show each team's tactics. Showing ships blowing up is good fun but shouldn't be prioritized over displaying tactics.

  • Replace current webcam and tactical overlay feeds with two different close-up feeds of ships blowing up during the game?

  • Keep up the good work!

I like the new AI, 2 things:

1. ok, the white is a little bright, if they could change it to something else and still make the ewar stuff visible it would be nice.

2. I would like them to add in the ship icon/image/window thingy. I recognize most ships by how they look not their name, maybe get rid of the boxes on the side to make room for it, I don't really need to see the commentators pretty faces :P

I am sorry to read all the crap the interface and the broadcast is getting from some people here.

Do you remember that last year there was no streams of the quantifying rounds at all? Just the finals were broadcast. So that is a 100% improvement this year over last year.

Good job CCP, Soundwave , production crew, commentators and all others making this possible. Thanx! Really appreciate it.

Anyways, I really enjoyed watching it and the interface works. I like to see whats going on and it also helps commentators, so great. Keep it in.

CCP can't compensate for that you have a crappy TV. Grow up.

hey learn to take criticism better. just because some people think it could be better doesn't mean we are grateful, jezz. This happens every year and CCP make a few adjustments.

I don't mind criticism. I do mind narcissistic whining. You don't have to be grateful but you can be. And that you are grateful doesn't mean that you can't make suggestions for what you think could be improvements. Good post on the extra thread you made on the subject.

Believe me, after having MB storm out of his hotel room at 5 am during fanfest in his underwear crying about needing sleep to the extreme that we would need to requisition him an ambulance immediately, I can state with some authority that you in fact do not want Bolton anything other than fully clothed.

That, and scrap the reversed shield/armor/hull hp, and textboxes. It's confusing as hell when each time you swap view from one side to the other, suddenly one team is bleeding hull before armor! P

But yes, transparency, definately would help alot, and the commentator cam.. well I can see why CCP want to display them, but on the other hand, that doesn't need a 'framing' or alot of space eaten up around it either. It could just be popped up now and then in a corner, anywhere.

Only real comments I have are the following;


  • The ST/AR/SH then SH/AR/ST on the layout was quite confusing at first, was wondering why the hell they were taking Structure damage off the bat on the left side. Realized quick enough though.

  • The countdown clock keeps breaking, saw it once on a 60 minute countdown, and blank a few times. WTB new timer?

  • When first starting the stream I've notice a bit of graphic corruption, but this clears up quick enough ( with a few seconds ) ( Firefox 13.0.1, multiple different machines. )

  • If you mute the sound, or have it to a almost silent level ( less than 5%? ), but not muted, when it's in fullscreen on a multi-screen setup, then click on the other screen, the feed falls out of fullscreen mode. Anyone else getting/noticed this?

  • Related to the above, the audio sometimes seems to glitch out on the player, where you can mute it, try and increase the volume, and it won't increase, but the mute symbol indicates this is no longer muted. Clicking the mute button and then clicking to unmute seems to fix this.

  • No mobile feed? Or am I missing something?


All in all, quite enjoying the show so far
