Cosmetic Changes

Postby QuietStorm » Fri Oct 19, 2007 12:28 pm

Please can we have a simple cosmetic change?

That being...

Instead of being called Active and Inactive, can it be called Online and Offline?

I think this serves much better with the TF mythos.

And it's a simple cosmetic change.

Anyone else got some simple, cosmetic changes they think should be implemented?

And while we're on the subject simple cosmetic changes...

Howabout getting the Tech Specs changed to fit accordingly to the faction? Autobots--red. Decepticons--purple. Maximals--Lime Green. Predacons--Yellow.

Seriously - Go ahead and list cosmetic changes you'd like to see and I may or may not get to them all. :P

Unfortunately then we'd spend even more time telling new players where to find stuff.

Some things like "Help" should stay simple.

Isn't it amazing how procrastination almost invariably condemns any megalomaniacal plan to failure?

Cosmetic stuff I'd propose:

- "HWM Forums" on the sidebar changed to "HMW Forums"
- Active, Inactive and Unavailable changed to Online, Offline and Busy (respectively)
- Banner graphics for the CR Chamber, High Scores, Arena, Missions, Weapons and Armor pages, similar to the banners on the Challenge Pit and Powerlink Chamber pages.

Weapon: Reciprocating Laser Cannon
Cosmetic changes needed as I see(mainly links):
- Link to the Top 200 players needed on main HMW page
- Link to the Faction Forum on main HMW page
- Link to the SubFaction Forum on main HMW page
- Rename Minicons: could the link be on the team page or in Powerlink Chamber, and not on individual characters page?
- "HWM" corrected to "HMW"
- Available, Inactive, and Unavailable changed to "Online", "Offline", and Unavailable (the last one stays)

Less cosmetic, but changes:
- On new Faction missions, the enemy counter reads "X/0" -> could be corrected?
- A new column for robot modes on the team page?

cosmetic changes?
is it possible to get; some of the mistakes edited out of the missions texts, a note of what levels can participate in the mission on the mission details page, a headcount of how many bots/cons/ect were in a mission on the mission results page.

just little things I'd like to see in addition to what others have suggested.

See, "Unavailable" just sounds so generic. I'd like to see it changed to something like "Processing" or "Cycling" or something else that is more robot, computer-oriented.

But that's just my thought process.

"Activate" and "Deactivate" could probably be changed. At least "Deactivate"... sounds like I'm killing my Transformer. Dunno how it could be changed...
