Tab lock down (Patch 3.5)

(1/14) > >>

Sammy B. T.:
While I do like the fact that I can now mute people in match using the tab screen, now it locks down all action such as moving or clicking. Is this intended as it basically stops any engineer from being able to casually check who is in the lobby. Pressing tab is almost habitual for me while applying a buff or running across the ship and I hope this is not intended or necessary.

Dutch Vanya:
Yeah, this, has been bothering me too. I often check to see who joins and leaves matches.

Watchmaker:
It is not a bug.  Essentially, in order to give you a mouse pointer (needed for mid-match block UI), we needed to change the input on that screen from "game" to "menu" mode.  We decided this was a worthy tradeoff.

Sammy B. T.:
I'd say its not a worthy trade off. Being able to quickly see who is in the lobby without having to break game-play trumps being able to mute someone in game that you missed muting in the lobby. Is there no way to have a separate screen for it?

Omniraptor:
Once again, PLEASE require the user to click in the tab screen before taking away game controls and letting them interact with player list. It is so simple, all the cool shooter games do it this way and it works wonderfully.

I said this in the dev app thread too, assumed such a simple and obvious thing would be implemented without additional begging and moaning.
