All: Increased chat raffle sizes.

How big will the new raffles be?

API: The GameFeed API now returns the x/y coordinates of each territory in a map.

Why add the coordinates?

so the first this i notice when looking at the new style update pic is you only see the first place prize to tournaments is there a reason when you no longer see 2nd and 3rd's prizes? really other then that i have no problems with it

In case I can't make it to watch your stream I do have some questions/concerns regarding making custom scenarios.

1. Can you possibly return the ability to use the TAB button to navigate each individual territory bonus? Currently I have to click each bonus box to input a number instead of using TAB. Normally it is not an issue while using smaller maps to make scenarios, but on large maps it's a huge pain to have to individually click the territory bonus boxes. Or if possible, could you add a way to zero out all of the territory bonuses without having to input 0 on all territory bonuses?

2. This mainly pertains to in-game capabilities, could you add a feature allowing players to form group private chats while in-game? This would better enhance a player's ability to have discussions with multiple players at once without having multiple private chats open.

Regarding artifact auto-selection when super-ascending:

Previously, the first three artifacts you pick would become equipped when you were done.

As such we needed to be careful about picking active artifacts that were cooling down.

In what order are the artifacts auto-selected with the new update?

Is there any danger of having it equip artifacts that are cooling down?

Classic: Non-members can now join mega games with mods even if the game creator does not use the “non-members can join” checkbox.

Is it free for the non-members or do they have to pay to join?

Has a court date been set for the Activision lawsuit? If so what date?

@King Leonidas
I've submitted a feature request for that:
https://www.warzone.com/Forum/814558-add-ability-link-groups-games

so far no votes :(

but imho it's a totally necessary function for FFAs; currently creating a group or private chat is the next best option but it's just not as convenient; it's a separate browser tab or window to coordinate in and loses the ability to link territories/bonuses from the game and be able to click them to get the shrinking concentric circle indicator

and just having an in-game chat tab in game would be convenient to actually chat about things relevant to a specific game

I just voted

sweet - who else wants on board the "group chats in games" wagon? VOTE pls

all FFA lovers, show your true colours

Clan war season is now too long again.
After rewards get bumped up to 3 weeks, now seasons take 4 weeks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pick smaller maps please!

Folks please relay the message during the live chat, thx!

Back in 2010, there was a big influx of Polish players. Some great Polish players came from that time, like Szeweningen, Azazel, Latnox, Timon92 and of course Widzisz, whom I brought it up to. I somehow remember you saying this was because you were testing the waters with advertising, starting a small ad-campaign in Poland. Widzisz remembers the reason for the influx being a big (unpaid) article on a big Polish website. We both don't really know. So, memory quiz! What happened 15 years ago?

Hi Fizzer,
This update is very cool, I just think that the dot on custom scenario icon should be bigger.

Thank you !

mr fizz the colors are too dark, i cant see the buttons in quickmatch properly.

What changed in the v5.35.2 update?

There is nothing in https://www.warzone.com/ChangeLog/5.35.0.htm, but I assume it was mainly some bug fixes for idle syncing?

Are you aware of the features in Muli's dashboard script?

If I were to make that into feature requests, what would be the best way split that up?

Just group the Dashboard, Forum+mail, Tournament, Game features together?
So 4 requests total?

Yes pls for the Muli features - things like these are absolute necessities:
- dashboard: seeing the amount of time left in a game rather than just the amount of time passed
- forums/mail: formatting hotkeys for image, bullets, bold, italics, etc

I love the new in-game chat interface in v5.36.0 -- it is soooooooo much better now -- the colours, the icon to mark ongoing chats, alphabetization are great

BUT . . .

disappointed that we didn't also see an addition for "private notes to oneself"

(the latest update breaks the Jz user script that lets us write notes on our games ... cry cry cry)

pls add person notes in games soon! (pretty sure there are a few feature requests for this already)

Btw Fizzer, don't forget to tell people in the stream that the template for the seasonal is SEAD.
So all noobs can join now without having to be confused about the template!

I guess that when you write the code for these games it allows some creativity from players which you may not have anticipated.

Question:

Are there any things players do which surprised you ? (or what surprised you the most)

Examples: Timi-block / Timi-tap / Intel move or even the Bodski-shuffle
