Reduce Text output - ssl - 2012-05-05
Hi. My suggestion: Reduce text output to a minimum!
For example in the game lobby, every now and then a message appears with "this is a qualify game blah blah". This is so useless! Also, when joining a bot, there are huge patterns printed with useless text like "welcome [nickname] to this server". Just remove all of this useless junk and only display the important information ONCE! Everyone can read it then and chatting will finally be possible again without fast scrolling up and down.
Also when game starts and players are still loading, there come chat messages "player xy has finished loading" Oh thank you, I can see he is not loading anymore by looking at that huge window in the middle of the screen! These messages congest the players communication about tactic discussion ect. Just remove these useless messages!
I attatched a screenshot for discussion about the importance of various messages. Especially look at the useless clutter when joining:

hm personally, i aint got such a big prob with it.
maybe set at least the time of the "waiting for .... "/autorefresh msg higher?
RE: Reduce Text output - AeroniumX - 2012-05-13
Maybe reduced the text
"...Teams will be balanced after the countdown!!!"
to
"...Teams will be balanced!"
Then it will be on 1 sentence line.
