Feedback wanted: New map border image, clouds and reworked resource icons on Beta
•
We just implemented a new WebGL graphics update to beta games (only for frontline pioneers), which includes the following:
A Map border frame
Clouds
Reworked resource icons
The border and clouds were added increase the immersion and graphics quality of the game. The resource icons were reworked to make them pop out more on the map and make them clearer to see at a first glance, as they are an important gameplay aspect.
We would like to get your feedback on these graphical changes. If you are a FP player, please play with it for a while (you have to join a beta game) and then post your thoughts here. What exactly do you like about it? What exactly you don't like about it? Are there any problems with it?
Thanks for testing on beta!

Update will be released with tomorrow's release. I thank everybody for their feedback, which was discussed with the team.
The issues raised they were weighted with the possible benefits, which resulted in not altering most of it for now to test it at a broader scale.

the clouds are really worthless. they only show up on the border and the outline of my screen. I rarely see them floating on the screen.

I know i'm late to this party but here it goes. . .
1. The border looks AMAZING by far i like it better than the old design
2. The fact that the game field looks like a war map just makes it so much better
3. I like the clouds but i think its should be optional (I've read all the posts about people not really liking it)
(P.S. i honestly like the new border! Keep up the great work!)

My main issue with the WebGL graphics is not the borders or clouds (both of which I quite like) but the fact that in 100 player games once I get to 500 or so units, some units are not shown on the map at all and I have to guess where they are so I have switched back to the old graphics for now

This issue is not related to the borders or clouds. The issue has to do with the "sprite count" limitations currently in use with the enhanced graphics. This is still being worked on.

Happy to say that this problem should soon be gone, so hope you can return to the awesome graphics soon
btw, feedback on the topic of borders and clouds is concluded now as we released it to live servers a while ago to quite positive results.
