Since the release of Definitive Edition I am sure, many of you ask the same question. Although the interface and graphics along with new QoL updates made our lives easier, there are still a lot of features missing from the game released in 2020.
For clarity, I will list some of the features that should be in the game yet, they are not present.
I will start from the easier ones.
- Displaying rank while searching for ranked game in search menu.
- Nothing to add here, why wouldn't you want to see your rank while searching for the game does not make sense. I understand some streamers would want to hide their rank so at least make this feature to view your rank selecting profile tab WITHOUT leaving your party. - Browsing technology tree while searching for ranked game
- Another example of adding one button and then disappearing the screen after the game is found or at least send a only top notification to alert that the match has been found - Being able to reconnect to the match you have lost connection to
- This is a big one. A lot of us, including myself can have an unreliable connection. Occasional drops are happening. How the hell you cannot reconnect to the game in 2020 is making my brain pop out. It is just a simple feature every basic game has. Include pauses that could be resumed after 3 minutes or so and give the ability for disconnected player to get back in game. You do not wanna lose your 1.5 hour progress because of simple disconnect. - In-game invites and sometimes steam invites are broken (FIX)
- For the last three days I have been counting the missing in-game invites that are invisible to other players or steam invites that I had to spam continuously to finally send to my fellow friend. The number of them was countless. Also you cannot send in-game invite repeatedly, sometimes it says player is in the game but in reality, the game is just loading for him. You send him the invite, he does not get that and you can not send the invite anymore. Fix that please. - Match History
- Even Voobly had some basic features of match history. I would like to see the feature of being able to view your last matches as well as being able to click on them to display final score, map and more. - Replays
- A long one... Replays are one of the features that should be tweaked to perfection. There is a lot of missing potential. Like a timeline that you could go through, displaying important events in the game (advancing to the next age or important buildings built). We do not have any of that and watching the replay only by speed up buttons reminds me of going to gulag for a year. - Better Scoreboard
- From the AoE2 HD, scoreboard has not changed. How about adding some new columns like amount of healing done to units or more interesting ones. I am sure any of the fellow redditors could find a scoreboard stat that should be added to give better perspective of the game. - Inability to see created lobby
- Many times, I have created a lobby game and people would not be able to see it. Neither my friends. This might be a server issue but still, this should not happen.
Conclusion
These features are easily fixable if they have a good code structure. Let's not suffer because of their inability to improve. Since the game does not have any in-game purchases I understand it would only cost them more to maintenance servers and data but I am more glad to pay some kind of online subscription upgrade that would add these features.
If you have any more suggestions that would improve the gameplay feel free to add them in the comments below.
