Post Reply: Feedback from our Ares-Alpha gameday

<blockquote><div class="quotetitle">Quote from <a class="profile-link highlight-default" href="#">Acobol</a> on November 28, 2025, 11:57 am</div>Hey guys,

we hostet a Ares-Alpha gameday (15 players) with player tags and here is my feedback for you:
<ol>
 	<li>BUG: Gamemode factory &amp; depot on ATB Pro hardware, software build 53. Using player tags. First problem we encountered, just around 3/4 of the points are really transferred. I loaded my player tag at the factory, it told me the points are on the tag now. But at the depot it just said "tag empty". In my own case, I had this 4/6 times, other players had no problems, some had the similar issue. Reproducable at home.</li>
 	<li>BUG. Gamemode factory &amp; depot on ATB Pro hardware, software build 53. Using player tags and just 1 factory, 1 depot nothing else. After the game, I tried to reset the prop with 9999#. Local points are resettet, but total points stay for some reason. If I press A or B for switching pages it's showing players with their points. These can't be resetted, I also tried to stop and start the game in ares alpha app.</li>
 	<li>Web view: The game history shown on the right side from the web view displays things like "Prop- Factory Owner: Neutral". It would be nice if I could label those props so people can differentiate, which prop was changed. I think I mentioned that in an older post already, I just wanted to bring it up again.</li>
 	<li>Web view pop-outs: We used the viewer-link to display the map and points in our safe-zone. It would be nice to have some pop-outs so you can display everyhing seperatly: Points, Player tags highscore list, most respawns and so on (so many people asked me about this, but I think it's just available on the prop itself and ares alpha app right now). I think I mentioned that in an older post already, I just wanted to bring it up again.</li>
 	<li>Respawning with player tags. Most of our players didn't want to take their phone onto our small field. So we can't use the respawn-perk properly. It would be nice to have a minibox pro with a special "respawn gamemode" in every HQ where players just scan their player tag to register it in the app and web view.</li>
 	<li>I ordered the player tags with velcro wide wristband. We played in november, so most players weared some long-sleeved combat shirts or jackets. So if you put the tag under your shirt it's working fine but you always have to remove it for scanning the tag. If you want to put it above your jacket/shirt the velcro is just too short to do that, so most of your guests ended up with just putting the tag in a bag or wrapping it around their hand/fingers. So maybe some longer velcro would be nice here to also fit some bigger guys arms.</li>
 	<li>Perks UAV/EMP. Please give us the option to customize duration/area of those perks! E.g. UAV mini is 50 meteres, 10 minutes. In our case that's the whole field for around 1/4 gametime, that's way too much in my opinion. Same for EMP - here I could also emagine using an area of effect, so not the whole field is affected. Just the players that were inside that area when it was scanned. Right now the center of the area is where the QR code is scanned - Would be nice if I as a GM could limit the perk so it can just be scanned e.g. by company leader or higher and they can choose a center point for the uav/emp.</li>
</ol>
Overall the people were hyped about using the player tags and it worked out quite well, so we will host another gameday with ares-alpha only next year.

Keep up your great work!
