Images in mission briefs - what did you think?

Poll ended at Wed Dec 19, 2018 4:18 am

Why can't every mission have an image?

Meh. Keep them to event missions only.

CfC round 2 feedback thread - Custom Missions?

Hi guy and gals, meta post time.

We tried something new this time around by putting images in the mission briefs. The idea behind these was to make them a bit more obvious and at the same time use them as a way to advance the story we've created.

We do know there was one issue; the higher level ones spawned far more frequently than the lower. This was because when a mission is generated, the game randomly selects a suitable one from the database to fit the required level, and as we had disabled the existing Inferno missions to avoid confusing the story that left only the event ones for level 10 & 11s to generate.
We will be addressing this if there is a next time by ensuring a better variation of missions at all levels as well as the event ones.

The question is: do we want a 'next time' for images in mission briefs? Poll is above and any other feedback or comments on this or the last round are welcomed.

Cheers,
Psych.

As cool as it was and tempting as it may be to do them all the time it would probably lessen their significance to use them all the time.

Good job on all this Psych & Friends!
It was enjoyable (as much as getting absolutely smoked could be enjoyable) with a few tweeks I'd wouldn't mind doing it again.
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

I do like the images... but is there a way to scale them down next time? I feel they were a bit big.

For next time, could we get a banner then a headshot inline with the text so it looks like they're on comms telling us? I really liked how easy it was to spot the tourney missions, but the only complaint seems to be they were to large.

good idea. If we can get it work then that should look pretty cool.

The images did come out larger than I expected, but as an initial test I'd say it was pretty successful.

Only robots and only one head and no channel... If that all makes sense.

On no, they were awesome. Just large. lol Apparently people were upset about having to scroll more or something. I can't say how it looked on mobile though.
