I'd like to suggest a new way to inform players of issues with the game that may prevent them from playing.

A simple alert bar at the top, bottom or the side of the screen displaying basic information about current issues should prevent the usual chat spam with people asking questions.

Currently score submissions are down and the #osu channel is constantly scrolling faster than anyone can read because people are asking the same questions.

This alert bar could be modified and deployed whenever a new issue arises to inform people as fast as possible and to provide a small FAQ.

This may also help to reduce server load as the chat wouldn't be as busy with repetative messages.


Cheers. :-)

Already in game. If your osu couldn't connect to server, a transparent broken chain image appeard somewhere around mid-right bottom side of your screen.

I believe this could be used to display things aside from connection issues. It would also provide an explanation to any current issues rather than just an image to say that there is an issue.

The whole idea is to inform players on a large scale of large scale issues to prevent panic/spam and to reassure users that issues are being worked on (aside from the odd @osustatus updates and whatnot).

Notifications sidebar already exists in osu!lazer. Important issues will go there for sure.
