Also use Metacritic.com and write a review.
Also go in https://support.ageofempires.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
And send them a proper report of what is missing.
I mean how can you not understand these things. WHy people are so greedily utilitaristic, individualists?
How can you not see that the lack of a player search, a online offline status, taking 5 clicks before being able to wishper someone and reach the text box, and then also being met from a "no there is no offline message log" becuase the player is offline, all this stuff is not working and would help so much the player.. II have mentioned so many things...
They are so evident.
Where do you people come from? A cave?
Seriously how can you think this is a game and being ok with that?
Humans really got quite low, it's not me, it's really you are missing what is the purpose of acommunity and of a game.
It's disgusting how people have become. Maybe a big fratricide will clean all this disgusting FUBAR situation, of inaction, and extremely egocentrical mass of non sensical zombies.
No.. violence will never fix anything but your passivity your "there is nothing to do" and other trolling, all these people also silent just reading, you are violent, you are the problem.
If u were doing your part a players WHICH YOU ARE NOT, and probably never have been or forgot to be so, then we would not be in this situations.
It's a shame Microsoft publish a game like this and then even builds a DLC program for earning over it.
It's like SHOOTING ON THE RED CROSS and bragging about it.
Oh .. i Forgot there is israel that is doing this and everyone is ok with it.
OH AND LET ME TELL YOU WITH CAPITAL LETTERS:
I don't care "I lost you" at this or that. You are not supposed to support me, but the community, because if you claim to be a player you are a sportman, you know that we need better quality anmd if you call this game finished then you have a big problem.
It's no a PERSONAL crusade, I don't need a populist crowd behind me I KNOW WHAT IS SAY IS SACREDLY TRUE because this stuff is so blatantly spitting in people face that it's like a plague an epidemic, it's sick what they ahve done to this game and even when a bug comes out..
No hot fix when the rule in game design is 24h max 2 days...
This is not beta testing, And even if it was this game is DRAFT being released!!
How can you be ok with htis..
HOW CAN: THE HELL PEOPLE BUY DLC from this? It telsl a lot of what people are... like education below the ground. We have become a community of a bunch of masochists.. not really a community.
Dman use your powers and write a letter, write a review do the damn vote, do the damn part, do you speak english? then write Microsoft, write a review use steam tools to prevent this from going on. It's incredible How everybody feels like there is a higher power controlling everything and they let it go.
You must be so succesful in your lives and I doubt the manners you reach that success that you let other abusers to do what they want with us..
That is called "straw tail" in my country, literally speaking.. I won't search now for the exact translation (non literal).
If you fear something then you fear to do what is correct to do.
So lazy so passive and cynical it' just stinks..
How can people not see a game cannot work like this?!
There are crucial parts that need to be developed and polished...
CMON!!

Fortunately the world is run by selfless people who care for the community and notice there is no Quality assessment in this pre alpha release that AOE III DE is, and people supporting this are just people that have worked at it and try with all their egoism and malice to damage the critics, just like fascist do.
Unhinged is you, your disrespect of players and introduction of new LOW standards is the real problem.
A game cannot be releases without
(In game) Online status (the one right now is a joke)
In game player name search
On a matchmaking-Forced Competitive gameplay that forces people to smurf (why? well, imagine a 1500+ looking for a game they won't find one but in 7 minutes) ERGO: the game must have again ROOMS that allow rated supremacy\classic: FULLSTOP. (not only a better matchmaking design)
Chat box cannot be reached but with 5 clicks! EXTREME USER UNFRIENDLY
Chat cannot be used in Post game stats section as you check the various areas
Chat log (offline messaging in other words) when someone is not online is not existing: this is extremely frustrating and madness... how can one not write a message to someone offline (it's like THE ULTIMATE, THE DEFINITIVE EDITION OF RUBBER WALLS against players and to spread salt on a community, how can someone not understand it!!!!)
You cannot Censor names of people that will not be accessible visible, /you are playing against "no one", you cannot find them.. fortunately there is a Third app called Free Food party .. but this is just incredible
Casual rank is not explained how it works and it should be (it can be done in many ways, like relating it to the cpr\sgt\mst sgt etc ranks that you had before and also at least explain if it stays as it is what is what and why it is growing or not growing and what are the mechanics of such casual rank... BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CLEAR)
The recordings are not working! compatible after a game update!! and often just break even without a game update (I personally had a game now and just recorded it: it fails at 3 seconds) THIS IS EXTREMELY detrimental to an RTS as a root problem! It's like a pandemic, a virus issue.
Making a game a Gaas (game as a service with DLC money making program, is not acceptable IF YOU haven't made the game complete and working
The lobby is incredibly disfunctional tons of filter are just place holders, they do not work,
The lobby doesn't allow Hypertext navigation\surfing which is the base of our internet and world culture. This for example will stop matchmaking search if you press another Lobby tab (most of them)...
Matchmaking canceled will bug the entire multiplayer and players will have to restart the game...
Matchamking can show stuff like "how many players are going to be needed further in order to launch the match"...
...
I may continue but fixing and polishing and finishing to develop thje game or releasing a Ultimate version would really be ok if only these things were offered and for sure you need it to do for free or make a final version but AAA level.
A lot of people would come back and play it, and a better base game means more profit, more sales. More players means more sales, more of everything .. and avoids the dusk of this saga, which is much closer than it seems.
Offer a better system that doesn't bring people to disconnect as this still is happening and ruining the competitive and non competitive scene.
I am not commenting on what it works, stuff works,
It's like the FAIR of QUALITY ASSESSMENT ABSENCE!
People who cooperated to this project are ok at supporting it and unsheathing their cheerleading swords, but remember, stay honorable because there is stuff you cannot defend and everyone knows what it is. It's just that people don't have time or don't care much due to the world we live in of delegation to others of responsibilities... and forever war.
Now.. it's time to answer and act, you can do what you want for your reviews, I don't care what you are cooking on your kitchen or what time you go to the toilet. That is a cultural disfunction people have when start telling to others what they do on socials, cure it before it's late.
Just to make stuff clear, do you think I would raise all this without having studied earlier not only in terms of factual studying of the subjects but also be playing since before 1997 before AOE was born and with all the AOEs?alistairpeter wrote: ↑18 Nov 2023, 23:07Well if you are looking for a better game, I know a few called Age of Empire III the Asian Dynasties, Age of Empire III the Warchiefs (2 pop 'darmes), and Age of Empires III; they're like DE but better.
Do you really think I am the usual person that bla bla bla online with hate, well I am not that. I am, and many of us are with the true grain of salt and actually extremely knowledgable on what we are talking, and instead of criticizing people should actually learn from those that have more experience then them. Or all is lost and everything is permitted. You have no idea what it means probably, but you will realise soon if this goes on that the world is really near.
There is no end to violence if there is no interaction between generations and transfering \ share of knowledge but just MECHANICAL\ PROFITABLE interaction , it's basically a species failure.
You people need to watch a lot of water passing below the bridge before starting pointing your fingers and "ecce homo" inquisition stuff on people who dedicate to make the community better.

If this leads to the EU ruling that Microsoft broke EU law and applying a few tens of billions in fines, it could bankrupt Microsoft and the game would return to being patched and developed by the community.
Hopefully this happens and all those boomers from the USA who are Microsoft shareholders lose all their wealth and have to take a job at Walmart.
They won't go bankrupt, do you know the HUGE capital these people have? It's like billions of billions, yo ucan ccheck online.
And in fact it is incredible that they just don't dedicate a few dollars to take care of games and realese them with proper standards and respect of quality and players. It's ANOTHER-THING-THAN-GAME-DESIGN, it's Post-gamedesign.
Instead they use developers and the people they "hired" or volunteers to make money... ? How is this possible? Put a damn budget and put those 3-5 years and do the damn RTS game you had to make. No.. they indulge in DLC programs (games as a service bla bla bla) and gather cash flow for their "other operations"... this is beyond the unacceptable, it's dirty.
You can file a report to European Consumer Center Network by contacting via mail with:
-Receipt \ proof of purchase (you find it on steam support options in payment history or paypal or elsewhere)
-Proof of contacting support and being dissatisfied with the response (or later response than 15 days aka no response in time)
-Explaining in mail text what is wrong with the product
-Proofs if possible a video or pictures or clear explanation in the text of what is broken of the article\product\digital whatever you are writing for.

It's the fair of relativism what we see and what we also have as a result due to these trolls infesting communities offline and online is a world where powerful take advantage of relativism and noise to implement even more coercitive, arrogant, illegal practices under the cover of such relativism.
Facts are facts there are rules and ethics, sure!! One can go around rules (it's acceptable) BUT THERE IS A LIMIT, you cannot release a game make money when THE ENTIRE SET OF TOOLS for it to work and a community to thrive in it ARE GONE!
There are just a bunch of things that would cost maybe some weeks, months of work, in some cases days (with high professionals) and THEY HAVEN't Implemented them? IT's just MIND BLOWING.
And we are sleeping with "hey it's just a game" .. "hey we have a life".. sure you are all right, I respect anyone, but seriously people joking about this repeating over and over, do not see what is happening in games. It's just tools to make money for people that invest in bricks, in weapons, in other totally different activities from videogames and that need videogames as a tool to have a cash flow in order to have the liquidity needed to do their dirty business...
Basically they use ARt and fun and gaming as a tool to obtain the money to do else.
And developers in this are slaves, worse slaves are the players, and Microsoft is directly responsible for this.
I won't post the account (I can post a picture for sure of it https://ibb.co/tqtGNNb ) , I am sorry, I know what people will do (/and it's already possible with abuse of AI) they will triangulate who I am, they will even reach possibly to phone numbers...
No way. And for who to judge me? For you to be judging me I should share stuff? I am not stupid, you think I am. Go ahead and read and do your part instead to be eating pop corns.
(and "What I posted"? I can tell you what I posted: I simply shared what could and should and must be done and wasn't done, I posted a small list of things that was actually relative to the UX and in is massively known and a fact that the game lacks those things.
How can a community work without Online status, Offline players sent message log, 5 clicks to reach a person for a "wishper" (DM) 5 CLIckS!!!
No player search bar, No hyper text navigation but only 1 tab at a time, terrible design (art), use of capital lettering instead of italics, uninspired use of Golden Yellow and general low resolution background ... There are things that can be done easily, servers need to be payed to run and be stable.. it's full of reports and I have a ton of people that drop during game, crash and so on... the hot fix MUST come for patch introduced issues withing 24 or 48 h... When a patch comes to boost\nerf stuff it has to be rare and anyway EVERYTHING needs to be explained (Why you do so, what is the logic behind that?)... It's a low low low low cost production and it's not a DEFINITive edition. At all.. and DLC introduce OP civs and matchmaking and.. and and.. please I will stop here. it's NOT MY DESIRE; it's facts it's stuff that is objective. It's not like this u care about an RTS and such a brand. You destroy it like that.
trust me, they can read this they already know I am the same person ..Anyway try to write a critical statement on @ ageofempires twitter, and DO IT YOURSELF: you will see that within 24 hours your accounts will all be blocked.
Try to go in Steam forums (after all just a platform to sell stuff where marketing "moderators" do look well to allow people to criticize or ask question that are doubtful about a product... in my history the worse has been Hinterland Games, a fascist Canadian company that literally harassed me and shut be up and started to cover me with accusations on steam... because I dared to ask question on how the game works and fan boys their squadrons of beating thugs unleashed on me with their approval.. no wonder they even hire these under cover "volunteers"... and of course it was a same stuff: Warning and ban and perma ban ... Because steam after all is there to sell, not to improve game quality: and GUESS WHAT?
Piracy doesn't die, and grows, people get worse and worse game quality, beta testing has been outsourced (not even always) but arrogantly on paying "players" and Quality assessment sometimes have been even CUT!!
Same does Steam they warn me, ban me, they apply this MAFIA FASCIST pressure in order to make sure you shut up.
This is the world of videogames and people many people left because this is what has become in the last 30+ years ... with suffocating "silent laws" of Omertà and so on...
"I spread a good word on your game, you give me something else".
AOE III is an insult to previous AOE to videogames design, to the players, to anyone. And this needs to be fixed.
USE THE TOOLS that the communities, all of us have obtained making them become part of law and customs, tools given to everyone to prevent abuses. Stop being passive on abuses.
Even if VALVE CORPORATION internal, use the Flag in the Store pages of the biggest games distrubutor (steam) platform,
USe metacritic (when they suddenly non lock the reviews, just register in 1 second it's easy)
Use the steam reviews
Use the forums
Use the twitter
Use the damn gift of the word to actually make sure things are transparent and public.
Why they have done this to us? We want a damn game and respect., we are here to pay, we are not criminals, someone else is acting like them.
Enough.
Please do not lose the focus on simple issues that needs to be assessed with an investment of work, money, time and passion, that is what makes people make do good games, the passion not the money they might get from buyers.
If you are competent about programming you do the game otherwise you don't do it or you hire people.
The incredible stuff is the lack of assessment that the game must be Quality assessed by producer internal process that it is a must in past and also modern game design and previous to release. There is no doubt that no Internal control has been done nor external.
It is clear that stuff like this cannot be published.
It's like Going ahead wiuthout knowing history.
You must learn at least 1 version of history before damn going into working in political organizations (to make an example) you cannot go ahead without following the method, the process being competent about something makes you free of bias, makes you respectful of others.
This stuff has been done by totally out of any respect crew that doesn't or worse DOES understand you cannot push a game without ahving such thiungs such standards .. and yet they ahve realesed it !
3 years ago.
You cannot count on third party tools .. you can involve it, but not count on them "so I don't have to do that because other - maybe - will do it".

Re: Definitive edition is so DISRESPECTFUL it stinks
No classism at all from me, but you touch here the big issue. The big part of players at least remaining are not of high education, these have gone to do other things...
This is why gaming is now what it is.
In origin gaming was made by people with extreme high education and for passion. It started in 60-70ties by engineers tired of what they were doing at the power plant they were working at. And then other and others threw themselves in doing games (and still there are passionate people who EXCEL in what they do.. let me for example mention Ground Branch people, or the people of Ready or not, the inventors of Operation Flashpoint (now ArmA - bohemia interactive -- yes many are from east europe where game design has reached it highest level in my opinion with great things... or do we want to mention the people behind AOE I or the ensemble studios?! but of course talents aren't there only, there are in North America, Japan, not only Bohemia, Balkans, .. Russia, look at what Nikita is doing with Escape from Tarkov, little by little he used a loot based system to make ppl beta test it's non-game to make a final or a future game come to life... on the limits of ethics but still with all the respect one needs to give as he's working hard (he not to say the entire team, and a small one btw!)...
on the other hand, yeah.. actually on another planet are those who use gaming, thanks to the masses that totally ignore now what quality is and are capable to bash even Cyberpunk 2077, which is instead one of the last videogames produced, that allow things like AOE III DE to happen.
A game removed from its basic standards, standards that are known to anyone who plays and designs RTS.
So in a few words: it's a matter of education, don't believe me? Make a test between all the people that do not say a word over this and other problem of "games", you will discover who they are, however that is not the only problem. Extreme greed took over, and now anyone tries to make games to make money, not to develop a game.
Gaming has become also with streamers a tool to do else: get fame, get money, get the money to do else ...
It's not passion and art anymore much, it's mostly exploitation. (also the widespread beta testing for free with the promise you play a game ... but we actually pay them not them us for beta testing, has become a paradoxical norm in last almost 10 years now).

Re: Definitive edition is so DISRESPECTFUL it stinks
This stuff was mentioned also by others !! https://forums.ageofempires.com/t/why-t ... ved/184122 I noticed even with the same exactly details I lament missing. (this is just one of the Opening posts and read also some of the comments perfectly in line with what I report)
It's incredible how ... I lack the words as I don't benefit from an entire vocabulary, but it's really distressing to see how wanton is the damage to the players and the community the downgrade of quality of the experience, the ability to play with others.
The game is just a place holder basically to make some silly ppl spend money in something useless and frustrating.
Just move to others games, and regarding RTS.. I won't spend my time anymore if this is the mindset.
Moving to something more mature like Combat Mission ... enough with "click speed\build order" ... Strategy is not this.

Re: Definitive edition is so DISRESPECTFUL it stinks
People are a bit too nostalgic sometimes. The interface was better on eso. But at the end of its life, you had invitespammers that could drop you out of the game. The p2p design caused the game to lag massively if just one player had an inferior connection. Ranks are a mixed bag. I liked the eso ranks. The military ranks were quite fun. But people try to balance the teams in their favour and not play if it's not the case. The top players just started playing random teams for that reason and only among themselves. It took a lot of time to find games you had to search for them actively. Team game Quicksearch was dead on eso because you could not search with a preteam.

Re: Definitive edition is so DISRESPECTFUL it stinks
I got more!
Age of Empires III Definitive Edition UI problems that need to get fixed:
UI in general:
• In multiplayer, there’s no logical order of the social buttons on the top right. The clan browser should not be the first button, since it’s one of the least used ones. The friends list and leaderboards should definitely be the first buttons.
• The social aspect of the game is important. You will likely be longer in the game playing and chatting if the friends list is stuck on top. It is part of the ESO legacy user interface and very nice and useful. At a single glance, you can see which of your friends is online and who’s playing a game.
• The online indicators should not be linked to being online on Steam, but actually online IN GAME. There already is an inbuilt indicator for this, because when you whisper someone who’s online on Steam and offline in the game, it says that the player is offline.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘view profile’, it does not open a new tab on top (next to ‘play’, ‘profile’ or ‘clan’) with the player’s name. This used to be the case on ESO legacy.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘view profile’, it does not close the friends list.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name, you actually have to move over the text in order to click the option. When your mouse is not located on the text, but a little bit more to the right (a few millimeters to the text) and you click, you hear a notification sound but the option does not respond.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘whisper’, it does not open the whisper right away but the general chat browser tab.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘whisper’, and you tab out of the game (holding alt + tab) and you go back, the chat window has closed.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name, the order of the options is not logical. All negative options (such as ‘remove friend’, ‘block’, ‘mute’,) are almost on top, followed by the more positive options. ‘Send a whisper’ must be placed upwards.
• When the chat browser window is opened and you want to join a chat, it opens the tab, but you’re not actually viewing the tab unless you click on it.
• When you’re in the clan tab and right click a player’s name the option texts are centered and not aligned left.
• When you want to host a game yourself and you click ‘host game’, there’s a delay of a couple of seconds until you actually hosted the game.
• When you’re in the ‘ranked game search’ window and you press one of the upper tabs (‘play’, ‘profile’ or ‘clan’) and you then press ‘back’, you don’t go back to the ‘ranked game search’ screen. This also happens when you’re actually searching for a game and the counter counts. This means that you can’t view anything while waiting except from the counter.
• When clicking ‘multiplayer’ from the starting home screen, the last selected tab on top lights up automatically (so either ‘play’, ‘profile’ or ‘clan’).
• The ‘play’ tab does not have an icon.
• When you select ‘browse games’ the ‘play’ tab on top does not light up if you previously viewed ‘profile’ or ‘clan’.
Game browser:
• ‘Sorting by casual rank’ doesn’t work.
• ‘Sort by time since created’ does nothing
• When you refresh the games list when having a game selected, it undoes the selection. Even in ESO legacy the selected game kept selected.
• When you are not viewing the top of the game list (so you are scrolled down a bit) and then refresh, it brings you to the top again. This is annoying because you lose the overview. Even in ESO legacy, it did not bring you on top.
• When you want to sort by number of players, it sorts by number of players IN the lobby. It should be sorted by number of MAXIMUM players. This way you can clearly divide the 1v1’s from the 2v2’s and so on.
• There’s no explanation of the casual rank logos and how and when you get them.
• When you’re in the game browser and select the ‘profile’ or ‘clan’ tab on top and then select 'play' again, you go back to the page with the three multiplayer options (‘browse games’, ‘host a casual game’ and ‘play a ranked game’) instead of to the game browser.
• When you are in the game browser and press ‘back’ on the top left, you go back to the starting home screen, instead of the page with the three multiplayer options (‘browse games’, ‘host a casual game’ and ‘play a ranked game’).
• If one has not played any type of game at all and you hold your mouse over someone’s name, it shows ‘loading’ forever. This should be fixed into “none” or “0”.
• When you’re in a game lobby and you press ‘back’, you don’t go back to the game browser.
• When you’re in a game lobby with other players, there’s only one option that shows up next to one’s name. This is a ‘mute’ option. This is used so little that it is not the right place. Instead, show ‘view home cities’ or something.
• When you’re being removed from a game lobby, you don’t go back to the game browser.
• When you’re in a game lobby and right click a player’s name the option texts are centered and not aligned left.
• When you’re in a game lobby and right click a player’s name there’s no option to view someone’s profile. You could do this in ESO legacy.
• When you’re in a game lobby and you right click your own name, a very little option square shows up with no options in it.
Requests:
• Do not link the online indicator to Steam, but to actual in-game (AoE3) status.
• Add an option to show someone’s home cities on someone’s profile.
• Add a search player option.
• Show ELO rating when launching into a game.
• When you hosted a game yourself, there’s an ‘invite’ option, but there are no online indicators. You just don’t know who to invite.
• Prevent people from smurfing and only allow one in-game name.
• Add a proper casting UI.

Age of Empires III Definitive Edition UI problems that need to get fixed:
UI in general:
• In multiplayer, there’s no logical order of the social buttons on the top right. The clan browser should not be the first button, since it’s one of the least used ones. The friends list and leaderboards should definitely be the first buttons.
• The social aspect of the game is important. You will likely be longer in the game playing and chatting if the friends list is stuck on top. It is part of the ESO legacy user interface and very nice and useful. At a single glance, you can see which of your friends is online and who’s playing a game.
• The online indicators should not be linked to being online on Steam, but actually online IN GAME. There already is an inbuilt indicator for this, because when you whisper someone who’s online on Steam and offline in the game, it says that the player is offline.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘view profile’, it does not open a new tab on top (next to ‘play’, ‘profile’ or ‘clan’) with the player’s name. This used to be the case on ESO legacy.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘view profile’, it does not close the friends list.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name, you actually have to move over the text in order to click the option. When your mouse is not located on the text, but a little bit more to the right (a few millimeters to the text) and you click, you hear a notification sound but the option does not respond.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘whisper’, it does not open the whisper right away but the general chat browser tab.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name and select ‘whisper’, and you tab out of the game (holding alt + tab) and you go back, the chat window has closed.
• In the friends list, when you right click a player’s name, the order of the options is not logical. All negative options (such as ‘remove friend’, ‘block’, ‘mute’,) are almost on top, followed by the more positive options. ‘Send a whisper’ must be placed upwards.
• When the chat browser window is opened and you want to join a chat, it opens the tab, but you’re not actually viewing the tab unless you click on it.
• When you’re in the clan tab and right click a player’s name the option texts are centered and not aligned left.
• When you want to host a game yourself and you click ‘host game’, there’s a delay of a couple of seconds until you actually hosted the game.
• When you’re in the ‘ranked game search’ window and you press one of the upper tabs (‘play’, ‘profile’ or ‘clan’) and you then press ‘back’, you don’t go back to the ‘ranked game search’ screen. This also happens when you’re actually searching for a game and the counter counts. This means that you can’t view anything while waiting except from the counter.
• When clicking ‘multiplayer’ from the starting home screen, the last selected tab on top lights up automatically (so either ‘play’, ‘profile’ or ‘clan’).
• The ‘play’ tab does not have an icon.
• When you select ‘browse games’ the ‘play’ tab on top does not light up if you previously viewed ‘profile’ or ‘clan’.
Game browser:
• ‘Sorting by casual rank’ doesn’t work.
• ‘Sort by time since created’ does nothing
• When you refresh the games list when having a game selected, it undoes the selection. Even in ESO legacy the selected game kept selected.
• When you are not viewing the top of the game list (so you are scrolled down a bit) and then refresh, it brings you to the top again. This is annoying because you lose the overview. Even in ESO legacy, it did not bring you on top.
• When you want to sort by number of players, it sorts by number of players IN the lobby. It should be sorted by number of MAXIMUM players. This way you can clearly divide the 1v1’s from the 2v2’s and so on.
• There’s no explanation of the casual rank logos and how and when you get them.
• When you’re in the game browser and select the ‘profile’ or ‘clan’ tab on top and then select 'play' again, you go back to the page with the three multiplayer options (‘browse games’, ‘host a casual game’ and ‘play a ranked game’) instead of to the game browser.
• When you are in the game browser and press ‘back’ on the top left, you go back to the starting home screen, instead of the page with the three multiplayer options (‘browse games’, ‘host a casual game’ and ‘play a ranked game’).
• If one has not played any type of game at all and you hold your mouse over someone’s name, it shows ‘loading’ forever. This should be fixed into “none” or “0”.
• When you’re in a game lobby and you press ‘back’, you don’t go back to the game browser.
• When you’re in a game lobby with other players, there’s only one option that shows up next to one’s name. This is a ‘mute’ option. This is used so little that it is not the right place. Instead, show ‘view home cities’ or something.
• When you’re being removed from a game lobby, you don’t go back to the game browser.
• When you’re in a game lobby and right click a player’s name the option texts are centered and not aligned left.
• When you’re in a game lobby and right click a player’s name there’s no option to view someone’s profile. You could do this in ESO legacy.
• When you’re in a game lobby and you right click your own name, a very little option square shows up with no options in it.
Requests:
• Do not link the online indicator to Steam, but to actual in-game (AoE3) status.
• Add an option to show someone’s home cities on someone’s profile.
• Add a search player option.
• Show ELO rating when launching into a game.
• When you hosted a game yourself, there’s an ‘invite’ option, but there are no online indicators. You just don’t know who to invite.
• Prevent people from smurfing and only allow one in-game name.
• Add a proper casting UI.

Great to know. But is that going to lead to improvements? This should be made public.

Re: Definitive edition is so DISRESPECTFUL it stinks
Glad some people notice this again and support it but really no fear to go public on really big news papers like pc gamers and stuff.
They could name it like the "micro revolt" of the players civilization as a title or whatever... and talk of the fight for improving a disastrous project brouight by MICROSOFT GAMES THEMSELVES to our computers.
A game that u need to restart every few games in order to work.
A game that doesn't offer view of recordings of some weeks or months earlier let alone those of years before.
A game filled with barriers, impossibility to create a team in game easily talk to others and log messages to offline players or search for them!
Some say third party bla bla ba.. third party it. It's like saying MTX are good.
Ui is an horror story. No multi navigation tabs. Search matches can't do anything else but wait... if u open another tab it's all gone, no rated rooms creation in lobby..
madness.
