Indeed, it's just hard to tell when they're not announced any more.

Is it the map slideshow? Although I think that may have been a previous update that nobody was told about.

  • Highlight over all buttons
  • New PM rolls
  • Live Chat changed to Chat Rooms
  • Are the quick links to My Games | Purchase | Terms Of Use | Privacy Policy | Rules new?
  • Referral program has it's own tab?

That's all I've got for now.

Edit: The button highlight includes the ready/waiting/playing buttons next to a player's name in a game, just to clarify. Also, there is an in-game animation for rank changes. Not just New PM button rolling, but Post Reply, New Topic etc. all of that style.


Sooo where's this global chat if it's not just chat rooms?

Chat rooms was just renaming the old feature because it's more " rooms" oriented.
Global chat you'll have to turn on through settings on left menu panel.

It was an epic battle! I too would like to thank Caffeine for the impressive amount of work involved!

I think that's really cool, but it is mostly cosmetic.

Yup, that's what I was thinking of as the major feature!

Long overdue Global Chat!

The feedback is going to be the same as all the terrible graphics CC is producing these days. Get a professional to do it. If the Dispatch can get a group of pros to do it I'm sure the actual fricking website can manage it.

Well it was a little fun doing this exercise, but it still blows my mind that you didn't have a press release for this, you just left us guessing.

lots of people don't even know what all was in the last update either lol.

We are still doing some performance evaluations and testing.
Once we have worked out any further issues it'll get it's time in the sun,
More of a soft release before we send 100's of people at it.

In other words because it is going to so much more accessible we wanted to make sure it would work well for everyone who wished to use it. Unfortunately there's only so much we can test offsite. Once we're sure its working properly we can have the Grand Opening.

It's the "mobile friendly" styling, which by the way is a bit weird.
