PlayerList Updates

Thanks for the reply.

Player Card Size:

I understand that the player cards need to be big so they can easily be tap-able for mobile, this isn’t necessary for devices such as PC and Console.

Scrollbar:

I personally feel if there are technical limitations then they should be the prioritised and addressed before pushing out updates.

Transparency:

I’m going to assume the transparency is most likely set that way to increase clarity for mobile users, this again should not be applied for every device as it’s not necessary.

Conclusion:

I understand mobile compatibility is extremely important because it’s the most popular device type for playing Roblox, the changes do not need to apply for all the other devices Roblox is playable on, they should be configured accordingly. Furthermore, options should be available for developers so they adapt it to their own predilection. Overall, I understand that some of the issues I mentioned have been brought up but I feel it is important that the Game Experience Team receives a range of developers issues/opinions.

The game experience team do not work on things like UIObjects and ScrollingFrames. Judging by what TheGamer101 said, there likely will be a fix for said technical limitations.

What’s good and bad about the new player list?

I will start off saying all the dislikes:

The thing hate the most is that it It doesn’t show the whole stats for example I have 4,225,742 points and it will show it on the player list it shows as 4.2M - not always it sometimes show the exact point but can that at least be fixed.

I have my performing stats on but it gets covered by the player list and makes it hard to read so I have to close the player list when I’m looking at the performing stats. It is annoying that when I click one of the stats (sent, ping, GPU, etc.) it pops up a box to show you like the average and things on the top right of the screen but the player list just completely covers it!

The player list covers so much of the top right of your screen what makes it worst is when u click on a player to send friend request, follow etc… It covers so much of the screen.

Another bad thing about the player list is I have to scroll down to see the whole player list which I do not like because if I’m trying to find someone on the player list to block or something it takes me longer to find them.

That’s all the criticism I have about the player list, if your keeping this feature please at least fix the problems that I have with it.

What I like about the new player list:

I like the sliding movement that the player list has when you are closing it and opening it.

When I am about to follow or send a friend request the thing you open has the sliding effect too which looks cool in my opinion, I also like it that it shows a picture of the avatar at the top left of that box.

When you send a friend request and you are about to undo it, it says cancel friend request - the old one just said revoke friend request, but I wouldn’t think people would understand the meaning of that word.

This is all I have about the new player list, I prefer the old player list BUT I would rather have the new player list IF the perform stats get fixed and statistics (by showing the whole stats that someone has.

I do not like the player list but I will support the new player list if it gets fixed. I prefer to have the player list getting fixed and staying there.

We should be able to change the player list types though, like on the game settings (game settings I mean by the one where you can turn on and off the performing stats and shift lock switch).

Is it not possible to give us an option to revert back to the previous leaderboard? Or at least make it so it has to be manually enabled by the developer? “Fancy or Compact”, or something like that.

This leaderboard becomes an inconvienience when there are lots of players, and slowly but surely people are just going to stop having it open.

It would also be great if like the chat we were able to modify it to fit the style of our games.

I don’t believe I mentioned that they work on those things but you’re entitled to your own interpretation.

I’m sure there will be a fix, but in my opinion fixes should be carried out first before releasing an update to millions of players.

I hope you understand, have a good day. :slight_smile:

This player-list is very buggy after being in-game for a while. For some reason the player-list isn’t even displaying everyone who is in the game; it’s just stopping short.


Now here’s the player-list in the ESC menu in the same server.

It’s just displaying completely different results for whatever reason

The single thing I dislike about the new leaderboard is how hideous the new owner icon is, it looks like a wonky hammer, what even is the curve at the end? Even something like a ban hammer to replace this icon would be significantly better, I hate how bad the icon looks for players who own the game.

Additionally, an icon for players who have edit permissions for the game aka ‘developers’ would be a great addition as it’s always been quite difficult to give developers of a game a distinct way to be seen against other players in the leaderboard without making a custom system to handle icons and text.

Oh no, I don’t know how to feel about this…

Anyways, nice update, looks very fresh!

I completely agree. I also noticed that roblox is getting rid of color on the leaderboard. With BC, TBC, and OBC, there was all color. Now with premium, it’s just white. Also, the owner symbol used to be a gold/yellow badge. Now it’s a colorless hammer. I just don’t understand the points of these updates anymore…

I questioned what that was too, so I logged into my game and I see the hammer by myself. What in the world even is this new owner icon? Why did it change?

Plus, I miss the part where we see our own statistics to the right of our username on the top right when we have the player list hidden, now it is just annoying.

There is a few things Roblox should change within this update.

For the new owner icon…

A. Replace it back to the original icon, that was gold and looked like a badge

B. Make the new owner icon (the hammer) gold so it can represent that said player owns the game

C. Change the icon back to the original for the person who owns the game and have a golden hammer for people who are able to edit the game (example: 2 other players develop place 204023 and they get a golden hammer by their name in-game)

Now, onto the player list…

A. Allow us to see our own leaderstats where we could before, top right to the right of our username.

B. Make the playerlist able to be cropped down to the size of the old player list.

C. Allow developers to toggle between the old playerlist and new one (including old leaderstats by your username in the top right)

D. Allow developers to toggle between the new ui(s) and the old ui(s) (featuring things that got removed like leaderstats)

I believe that the developer community can agree with A-C on the icon, and A-D on the player list/ui(s)

Like HeadlessHorror said:

I 100% agree with Headless on everything stated in the post. Except the ban hammer lookalike icon. I’d prefer having a golden hammer that is tilted, just a golden hammer or the old place owner icon.

Okay so, I like it but it needs a lot of fixing, As in some developers games it looks broke and messed up, Also the other problem is that when you screenshot using the Roblox screenshot the players list dosent show at all, I like it but it needs fixing, I do prefer the old one tho as its better in my opinion.

I agree. Most games, this feature is used to show statistics, which in this new update to it, requires players to scroll more, or see just a few at a time. This can be a nuisance to some games, though the design to it looks pretty decent.

We should have an ability to see who has sent us friend requests in the leaderboard; unless there is already, and I haven’t noticed. Either way, there should be a feature to view all of “friend tab” activity in the menu (when you click ESC in-game). I think that there should also be a feature on the Roblox website “Friends” tab, to see all out-going friend requests, so I could see if I could revoke mistaken friend requests. I usually sometimes get a friend request accepted that I may have forgotten about for a year! :sweat_smile:

I think that they should have the old player-list because of it’s size, but have it with the new one’s design.

Can you please post a link to the game in which that is happening?

With the new update to the leaderboard, we have seen some new icons.

Relating to my Web Feature request last year, would you say more leaderboard icons are being considered for the new leaderboard?

I have requested this feature of having a possible option on the group admin panel, where anyone in a certain role will receive the developer icon.
