Observer Feedback

from Offworld Forums

Two things:

1) Observers are kicked out of the game for most games (technical issue)

2) I think that you can see player resources is actually quite nice, but when clicking on the map nothing happens, that's what I meant with interactivity. If you could take the exact functionality that you have if you're playing the game - when you click on the HQ it shows what buildings are sending to the HQ, the resource lanes - that would be great.


3) When hovering over playnames on the right-hand side of the screen you don't see their total cash+resources, that should be added in. I think if you combine that you can swtch between player views, but also add in the usual ingame elements the observer mode could be really fun.

4) Chat Bug: Observers chat with the names of the player they have currently selected instead of their own. 

5) Chat Bug #2: Only hosts can see observer messages.

for 5}, the host is the only person who can see anyone's messages regardless of whether or not they are an observer.

What? No normal players can talk to eachother via chat. It's not player-host only!

It is sometimes bugged, and they know about it, and are hopefully fixing it.

We'll have some improvements with observer mode for the next patch, but it will be the focus of improvement later.
