Loka just became UNPLAYABLE, but theres still time to fix it.

In the new update log, it says this:

yep, the conquest tab now only shows you how many players are registered to the warp on each side, instead of what it did previously, which was to show the number of players registered for the warp AND the number of players online for each participating side

OLD CONQUEST TAB:

Two Different Numbers:
A. The number of players who have clicked the button and registered for the warp, online or offline. (51)
B. The number of players online for your side (59)

THIS WAS GOOD! IT TOLD YOU USEFUL INFORMATION! GREAT STUFF

VS

NEW CONQUEST TAB:

The same number, twice (????????????????????):
A. The number of players who have clicked the button and registered for the warp, online or offline (56)
B. ALSO THAT NUMBER BUT JUST AGAIN??? ? ? ? ? ?? ???

You can no longer see the amount of players each side has ONLINE on the conquest tab, this was removed because.......... I DONT KNOW!

What reason is there to do this? Is cryptite cruel? it says it was confusing in the update log? no it was not, unless you are a mentally challenged individual who has difficulty comprehending two large numbers side by side unless those numbers are the same always

The number of players online at a given time was extremely useful! Myself and most "experienced" players would use the number of players online at a given moment for each side as a response to the question of "What are numbers right now?" because the few players who arent registered probably will be by the time the fight begins so the number of players online was actually a more USEFUL indicator at times!!!

But now its gone, for some unexplainable incomprehensible reason and I am not sure the server can survive without it, so I kindly request that this change is reverted back ASAP, or else the conquest experience will be significantly worsened

If you really want, you can have it disabled for neutrals, since it was broken and just lists the entire server. But removing it entirely makes 0 sense, LET ALONE THE FACT THAT YOU JUST HAVE THE SAME NUMBER SHOWN TWICE NOW FOR NO REASON. If anything its even more confusing than it was before (and it was not confusing at all before, by the way). Because of memory, when I see 2 numbers next to eachother like in the NEW CONQUEST TAB screenshot, I am gonna go "oh! We have 56 players registered for warp out of 56 online" AND I AM GONNA BE WRONG BECAUSE THATS NOT WHAT THAT MEANS ANYMORE BECAUSE WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS IS 56 PLAYERS REGISTERED FOR WARP 56 PLAYERS REGISTERED FOR WARP. THANKS I REALLY NEEDED YOU TELL ME TWICE JUST SO I CAN MAKE SURE. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

TLDR:
The conquest tab used to be useful and it used to show 2 seperate numbers that are not the same:
A. players who clicked the button and registered for warp
B. players online for a given side at the current moment

Now it shows:
A. players who clicked the button and registered for warp
AND THEN IT SHOWS IT AGAIN, BECAUSE FUCK YOU?

FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY.

Best regards,
Mimo4

look my good sizzle, all you need to know is that something changed and that it was bad and that you should be agreeing with me here. or you can read the multiple sentences under the TLDR if you want a shortened explanation

ok i get it now +1 :D
 
But just to clarify since mimo is wrong. The number is (Players Alive in BZ / Total Players ever in the fight (includes registered/reins)). Screenshot of present fight just to show what I mean.

The thinking was that the Y, in the X/Y was always just a nebulous number that might, but might not at all accurately show the number of potential players. Showing potential players is useful, indeed, but as the (X/Y) maybe isn't the place to put it, or it just needs slightly different formatting.

i think the format of X/Y is good enough, since Y is almost always larger than X, unless there are alot of players who registered and then logged off but those usually just log on anyways a short while later before the fight starts. i think the old format and the way it all worked was good enough.
 
@Cryptite are you sure that this is actually implemented because when i went to a fight yesterday it wasnt and so i asked my friend mimo about it cuz he made the forum post and he said nothing was done about it also so i was just wondering maybe it was a miscalculation and it still needs to be implemented or maybe its bugged or something inbetween but idk can you fix this? because this number was very important to me and helps me understand the battle, thank you.
