0.7.10 Interface Changes & Other Improvements

[MrConway]

Captains,

 

Please leave any feedback regarding the interface changes (i.e. torpedo alert change) and other improvements here.

Nevermind RN destroyers, Halloween event and everything else...

 

After like 3 years or so we finally have this filter in port 

 

[Cazbol]

Primary Only, was the option I was wishing for.  Thanks for adding that.

How do I get rid of this notification icon ?

Clicking into the division window does not do it. Maybe creating a division ? WG please implement popups for those stupid notifiers that tell your players how to get rid of them. I am already ignoring the on on the news section and the Profile one for new patches drives me crazy as it is NOT indicated properly on the profile screen.

 

btw that create division icon/menu is not new ... so why is there this crapy notifier ?

As a workaround until this is fixed, clearing the News notification also clears the Create Division notification.

To some extent, for me it shows notification on both news and division, but there's no new news to mark as "read", so...

By the way, anyone else notice that the window controls (like minimize, close) don't have an active area around the respective icon anymore and you have to click pixel-precisely on the lines of the _ or x to activate?

Ah yes, I thought my mouse is bugged or what when I was trying to minimize the Clan chat window ...

Weird, I'll check with devs about this!

Regarding the torpedo audio alert: it's great that you've made this change, but the volume is still proximity based so the alert is too quiet at the point of first detection.

 

In the middle of a gunfight, with your own guns roaring out, and in binocular view,  this is when you need intuitive audio alerts that you can hear.

 

Could we have the torpedo alert louder? Or at a static volume level instead of a rising one? Or, have in-game sound effects volumes individually customised on sliders?

Liking the new "non-elite ships" filter in port, which just makes sense and had been suggested in this forum at various times. Even though, once I understood you can set several primary ships, it wasn't as strictly necessray any more than I'd thought (for me personally), especially since now there is also a Filter for that.

 

Still no idea what the "suitable for the Specials" filter does, it does not seem to filter out any ships at all in my port. Still thinking it should be replaced with a "not" filter that lets you filter out any ships which not meet the selected criteria.

THIS! VERY MUCH THIS! I just noticed this has been fixed now. Thank you! Finally!

 

Unfortunately, I think the rework borked the 'In order of latest battle played' sorting order. It has always been a bit sketchy, but now it is out the window.

 

Example: No filter, only ordering by last battle played. First correct ship is Richelieu, third one from the top. (played twice, lost twice).

 

All the rest of the ships I played are all the ones with the 50% bonus gone, and not even in the first two columns. (Dallas, Donskoi, Yamato, Montana, Kurfurst)

It filters away the ships you have already got your daily win on.

Texas has a spotter plane since the last patch yet it is nowhere to be seen on the ship.

But since the last 3 patches an option to hide entirely the ARP ships from the carousel (not only their ARP cammo) has disapeared. Now i have a long line of ships with the ONLY option to hide the rediculus ARP cammos but not the ships themseves as i could before.

[SkollUlfr]

can you put operations symbols in the tech tree to show what ships qualify for which PvE operations?

Just a small one:

Text shows Daring having 114mm guns. 

Module says 113mm guns.

Info on that gun itself is confusing

 

Going from wiki (of the actual Daring class) here:

Gun's listed as 4.5in (113mm)

• 4.5in = 114.3mm
• 113mm = 4.448... = 4.45in

If we look up the gun (QF 4.5-inch Mk I – V naval gun) itself, then we get this line:

Quote

Like all British nominally 4.5 inch naval guns, the QF Mk I has an actual calibre of 4.45 inches (113 mm)

So I guess 113mm should be the correct number
