Me and Dangaard decided to come up with some ideas that would make MP more tag friendly, and more fun overall. alot of these have been suggested before, we would just like to bump them. Please leave a comment after you have voted. here are some ideas we came up with:
*More Tag Team colors: Right now theres only blue and red, however it would be nice if we could choose green and yellow/orange aswell. that way 4 teams of 2 players can battle it out at the same time. however, let the host decide how many team colors are allowed to be picked so people just dont go off on their own teams :$
*Fixed Tag coop combo colors: When playing Tag coop, combo colors can get very hard to read, especially if you are the one who is playing with the grey/white notes, and on some maps even the red warning arrows dont show up. thats why we would like to suggest a fixed combo color, that you can setup in option and choose what color you want. this way each player gets a single note color, but other players notes will still be gray when it isn't your turn. *ADDED*
*Improved Tag Spectating: speaks for itself. right now when you spectate a tag game, you can only spectate 1 player playing, and when it isn't that players turn, you stop spectating untill it's his turn again. what i want is to be able to spectate the whole game, both players that is. (maybe spectating both teams at the same time is pretty impossible, but spectating one team should be able to work)
*More Detailed Tag Results:
Something like this, but different graphics
http://up.ppy.sh/files/screenshot005-15.png <---- whole teams score
http://up.ppy.sh/files/screenshot006-19.png <---- Tab function just like the one in Head to Head results. the ones highlighted are the details/scores of that player.
http://up.ppy.sh/files/screenshot007-14.png <----- another example, just 1 result screen for both teams, and you can tab through all (teams and players) *ADDED* amazing job on it
*Result screen in Tag coop mode when a team fail: Right now, if 2 teams play against each other without the nofail mod, and one of them fails, the game will just go to the fail scene and you go back to the mp lobby. it would be nice with a result screen after failing, to see which team failed, because this gets really confusing sometimes. sure a really small message pops up when failing but you arent really focused on that so its hard to spot. *ADDED*
*Multiplayer Lobby: so we in MP can speak without bothering #osu *ADDED*
*Progress bar in MP room: Put a progress bar in the Multiplayer room so you can see how much of the song/map is left before it ends. (that way people who are looking for a fast game can wait/leave if it would take a long time for the song to finish)
*Multiplayer Tag Ranking: yup its been suggested before i know ^^
im not sure how this would be implemented, but i would LOVE to discuss this in a live chat instead of on forums.
*osu! Ingame calendar: just to make it abit more friendlier.
on this, people can sign up (if accepted by Mods) stuff like un/official events (tournaments etc) or Bats/Mods/peppy can write down important announcements like bancho downtime or upcoming builds. also when a mod/bat etc writes something, you can see the calendar flashing, meaning an important message should be read.
you could have the calendar connected with the forums, that way we can see when players/friends are having birthdays etc. you could also check the dates of when maps got ranked etc.
these are some suggestions we think would be a great addition to osu! (also excuse my paint skills)
