Replay interface : remove those invasive messages

Post by Turalswitch »

Hello,

I like to watch replays and try to guess moves. Everytime we take a guess, an invasive message appears on top a the "Next move" button.
This message stays for 5 seconds if we don't click the (X) on the other side of the screen.

If we guess right, "No more comments" appears and we have to click the (X), then the "Next move" button on the center of the screen.
If we guess wrong multiple times, "You must play the move indicated in the tutorial" appears and stacks, and we have to click all of the (X), then "Next move".

Would it be possible to move those messages or add an option to deactivate them?
Also, it would be very nice to be able to go to the next move pressing a key instead of using the mouse.


If there already is a solution to this issue please let me know.

Actually, in some cases I play the move indicated in the log but I still get that message... So actually that is weird.

There are more niche issues with the Replay.

In Seasons for example, during the draft, all choices will be wrong if the opponent chose a card first. We have to click "Next move", so that the opponent takes their card, then we can take ours.
As all players draft at the same time, it is impossible to know if we were right or not in this case.

I think that this type of issue is present in many games and it would be a challenge to fix it.

I'm getting this message regularly when just hitting next move. It's making going through replays difficult.

For me - the fact that selection + deselection (without effect) is in the replay is the most annoying. so people thinking a lot about their move and click some different things in the meantime would mean you have to click next move for all of those changes of mind. Only last selection should be shown in the replay.
