Daily Room confusion
Daily Room confusion
It seems some new Voxers are confused by the daily rooms. I think that may be why we're getting some AFKs. I suggest putting up some sort of disclaimer or explanation when a player enters a daily room that the turn timer is set for 24hrs and thereby the game won't move fast.
Is the tracker a bit under developed overall? What about an inset with some colour (and movement?) so it feels more alive. Also, if I was unfamiliar with online play I'd look for a 'how-to' link. A fast paced, animated (animatic) tutorial would be ideal here, something which brings first timers up to speed on the essential commands and the nature of online play with long turn times. I'm not saying the game should cater for dummies, just that there's an opportunity here to better inform and showcase what's in store.
Edited to add - maybe the trackers not the place for the link. There's an instructions tab on the Vox app, maybe an 'online tutorial' tab here also...?
btw the instructions tab does not work on mine. I reinstalled Vox and it still does not work.

New guy entered the room while I was playing, he did not know that he could join the game even if it already had started and he did not understand the tracker.

I have been online alot lately in diffrent rooms and I have a noticed that when a game ends, it wont Auto start a new one.
The hosts should be on Auto start new game
Even though it says ./start for a new game new user dont see this or they somehow miss it.
I have seen alot of players join rooms and the leave because new game wont start.I have helped when I was there but alot of times noone is there there to help them out.
We lose potential online players and new costumers as well. Becuse I know from my own expreince, that if u get a taste of this, u want more.
so Its important that they get into a game immidetly, once u tried Vox its easy too want more.
It might would help if there was a "link" when u joined a room thats said
" want too join this game?-click here"
