#RestoreCANVAS

It is kind of sad really... after YEARS of all kinds of suggestions, and never listening to them... a WebGL version that didn't change since it was introduced... suddenly Bytro is going to listen?

Then the logical path would have been, "Hey guys, we're going to phase out Canvas in half a year... so please play the WebGL version and give us feedback on it, and we will spend that half year on improving it".

Unthinkable, of course. Maybe Germans don't think that way, and they still think minions should eat the shit that is fed to them?

Bro the new graphics aren't even that bad. I was pretty disappointed in the beginning. However, I realized that it was in fact better then Canvas later.

Jesus man...why is everyone so mad? It's just fricking graphics, stop complaining.

I am leaving CoW and i sincerely hope Bytro looks in the mirror

I, like many other players, stop playing

Leave then. I’m tired of the complaints.

To be honest what Super-Low WebGL should look like, smooth transition would have to be turned off (or limited), realistic water turned off.

Further, on WebGL there are no provinces names on the map even with the setting turned on. And here comes my next concept: Separation of the graphics settings of the map and the game in a special way, enabling new functions. I propose to restore Hide Army (It was cool for Screenshots Map), Hide the fog of war to improve quality map...

It's more about the players' reaction that they finally reacted to something. Something was removed that worked. Something was removed Which made it possible for those who had inferior devices to play...

#RestoreCanvas

STOP

RESTORE CANVAS

For now, don't use vulgar vocabulary, maybe then we'll talk calmly. So far, the #RestoreCANVAS campaign has stimulated a very large group of people. So what's wrong with that? Expressing your (negative) emotions? This is not about ruthless, irresponsible and unarguable Bytro criticism. You can find in this thread find many arguments (including mine). Another thing is that many have suffered it. I have been using WebGL for a year, since I have the option to use another laptop, but when I go back to my old one, it's crap, WebGL does not support it, unfortunately. Now think that there are more such players. Certainly insulting them with the poor and the backward is also inappropriate, isn't it?

/Sorry for English, it's late and my language itself is limping/

Sadly they now win whether we quit or play the other version.

We are most likely a few drops in the ocean to them (maybe a loud splash right now)...

Very few companies are able to change/improve/upgrade/re-invent themselves and continue to grow and with a solid customer base. One that comes to mind is McDonalds. Continually improving and staying with the times but holding onto their customer base.

In the computer gaming world look no further than Age of Empires as it is a relevant 20 year old game that most still speak favorable about today.

This is NOT a programming problem. This is a management and PR problem. Management signed off on this and spent a lot of money to get this GL version up and running. They aren't going to trash it.

Today my GL version stopped letting me point at units to move them...for several hours...what ever happened to testing things before making changes to the operational program? Again, another management issue because they give the programmers on this kind of updating all the time. No one is held accountable, therefore no one is - except management. Read a book about TQM sometime. Better yet, read it and follow it.

I will be signing off out of the forum now and won't be back to write anymore. I will personally keep playing COW until I find something else to use up my idle time.

Remember we are only in control of ourselves and our actions and are nothing more than a drop.

Besides, the blackmail to leave the game is in most cases compulsory, because it is impossible to play anyway in WebGL

Tired of our complaints? Then I suggest you check out the other topics in the forum.

This is nothing but the troll you make.

#RestoreCanvas #Unido el pueblo jamás será vencido. (translate to english if you don´t undertand)

I like the game, is cool but the problem is that canvas makes better the animation.

You have good potential so don´t change the formula.

The reason canvas was removed, in addition to what I mentioned above, is that it's not feasible to run both versions at the same time. A decision had to be made about which one to remove. Since WebGL is newer, and since most of the player base uses WebGL, canvas was removed.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "management," and I'm not sure where you get the idea that "management" was responsible for the unit selection issue patched earlier today, but this is not the case.

And yes, changes are tested long before they're released to the public. First they're tested by the devs who implemented them, then the Frontline Pioneers, and then, after a long period of testing and fixing to make sure everything is working properly, they are released in an update. Unfortunately, it's just not possible for every bug to show up in beta, which is why there's a bug report button in game. If bugs never happened, there would be no need for it.

I'm sorry that all of you feel this way about the removal of canvas, but, and I'm saying it again, if you haven't tried WebGL yet (and I don't mean only for a few minutes before realizing that canvas was gone), please do so. I say this so that you can give feedback, and who knows, you might even like it.
