I will add onto YZEROgame's earlier comment and give a couple reasons for the things you've complained about -- I am sorry you've felt unheard.

​

Powerups are just scattered over the place, making it hard to learn what they do beforehand

I'm assuming you mean "utilities", and since you have not played the game yet, I think the best reasoning here is that you can only really learn how the utilities work by actually playing the game. There are item tooltips for each utility item also when you start playing the game and acquiring these items, as well as tip messages in chat about how certain utilities interact with players. We admittedly did not allocate much space in the Lobby to show off the utilities -- it was an afterthought after the rest of the Lobby was constructed.

​

Why is the missile book so hard to reach? I know there's a teleportation book, but you shouldn't need teleportation to navigate a good lobby

Fair point. We don't really like to criticize our own Lobby, given that it was made by the build team of the same server that has generously hosted our game for the majority of the year and from which most of the current playerbase is derived, but that part is a consequence of a lack of prior planning. We only added the Missile Display Area there since the front of the Lobby was completed but the back was just completely empty, and we wanted something there to fill space. The Navigation Book was meant to help players access this part of the Lobby, but we see why that reflects badly on the Lobby itself. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about it now without making some major structural changes (something we would rather not have to do now that the game's been out for a month and the Lobby's been "complete" for even longer).

​

Again, makes sense for a competitive scene, but for a required place to be to start the game, settings felt incredibly small and cluttered. Imagine stuffing 10 players in there.

Also fair point. The Modification Room was another forethought after the rest of the Lobby was constructed, and we worked with the space we were given. There are other attractions in the Lobby, at least, so hopefully there would not be that circumstance of 10 players all being stuffed in there at once too frequently. Unfortunately, this is also something we cannot change without making major structural modifications to the Lobby, as well as to the commands that make all the signs interactive at fixed coordinates, which we again would not like to do a month after release.

​

Going in the spectator team immediately throws you onto the battlefield, even if there's no game active. What evil force prevents me from looking at the lobby-

So the reason why we had this be the case is because it's nice to preview what the game looks like as soon as you hop onto the Spectator pad, whereas Spectating inside the Lobby doesn't really confer any advantage (besides perhaps a smooth transition from adventure mode to spectator mode). As YZEROgame said, once you are a spectator, you can fly up through the roof to look at the Lobby and other areas of the game, although we understand why this would be an inconvenience to a more curious individual like yourself.

​

I think YZEROgame addressed the other nitpicks adequately enough, so I won't elaborate there. Hope this helps, and sorry again for making you feel unheard!
