Some good posts in here. I appreciate that you all are continuously monitoring data to try to make the best decisions for the game. While many of the changes recommended here are interesting, I think the most impactful change is whatever brings in new players so that games can run more often (with fewer players going inactive) and, hopefully, more funding coming in to Bytro to continue to develop new enhancements and features--in this way, I think your interests and the interests of the current player base are aligned, and we should embrace any opportunities to potentially increase that player base. I trust your judgment on this and appreciate that you're taking feedback from your current userbase, and I trust that you'll continue to monitor the stats and make adjustments in the future if needed.
Is this intended to be the Beta client / 2.0 client feedback thread? I didn't see another one, but I only quickly scanned the other subforums so it's very likely I missed something. If it is, I'll list some of my own UI feedback here, but can move this to the proper thread if someone can kindly point me there 
. This is all on the PC version of the client; my app hasn't updated so I haven't seen the mobile version yet.
- I regularly play multiple games simultaneously. When playing on PC, I really appreciated that the play button in the old client would pull up all my games in separate tabs (so I could quickly open all my games). In the Beta client, please set the "Resume" button on the homepage to open the game in a separate tab rather than the same tab.
- Each time I open a game, the chat box is open and overlaying the map (see attachment). Please set default to have this chat box closed.
- My icons are blurry and hard to determine at a quick glance (see attachment). This is not improved by increasing my browser's zoom. I think the placement of information is something I can get used to, but I'd love it if the icons themselves were a little easier to read. (Also, I just noticed that it erroneously reports my stack is "under attack"--it isn't)
- Unless I'm missing it, the account overview / service record window shows PVP k/d but there's no toggle to see AI k/d like there was with the legacy client. This is sometimes handy for newer accounts that may not have much PVP history.
- It now takes two clicks to get to the Diplomacy window to change my relation with another country, whereas the old client got there in one click (I think--it feels clunkier, at least, and it's something I do several times per game so it was noticeable).
- [Edited to add one more]--when I'm directing stationary units to move, it was really handy for me to see the total move duration and not just the estimated time of arrival (for example, moving artillery that has just fired to wherever they can get to in 29.x minutes). The beta client only seems to give me estimated time of arrival, requiring some math relative to the current time (in attached screenshot, dragging the move arrow for this infantry shows me that he'd arrive at 4:13pm but doesn't tell me how long that is from now).
Positives:
- I LOVE that I can see k/d ratio for the current game. Really easy way to evaluate the threat of neighboring countries, especially towards late game.
- I haven't figured out how to best use the Armies window, the Map Controls window, or the Pinned Map Items window, but there seems to be some really helpful information there.
Again, if there are any video guides to making the best use of the Beta client I think that'd be hugely helpful to folks used to the legacy client. Maybe an idea for @BMfox if you're still making COW video content
