As we did last month, we'd like to introduce some recent changes on BGA.
3D
3D has been introduced 3 weeks ago on BGA. To activate it, you must click on "3D" button on top right during a game :

We want to be very clear about this: we consider that 2D view is better to play online. Please tell us if you think different, but we didn't find a situation where it's more practical to play in 3D. However, we are definitely considering using 3D effects on games from time to time, just for the "eye candy" thing.
Most games are not optimized for 3D at now, so sometimes it looks a little bit weird, but most of the time it's fine and allow us to communicate better on our service. Beside all of this, this is very important for BGA to show everyone (especially, game publishers) that we are capable of having a game in 3D here.
Don't hesitate to give us a feedback on this!
New friends feature

With this new icon on top right, you cannot miss a friend who is online when you are 🙂
This new feature is associated to a new Invite a friend button when you create a new table. This way you can invite a friend very fast at your table.
Soon, we will introduce another additional feature for those who like to play with specific players.
Group list
From Community page, there is now a link to list all BGA groups.
Game lobby interface
The simple lobby design change a lot and will continue to change during the following months.
It's a quite powerful tool now that you are using more and more. It allows you to check your ELO from the lobby page + to wait for different realtime games at the same time, which is pretty cool. Please don't hesitate to give us your feedback about it.

Reputation system change
We slightly changed the reputation system:
_ Now you get a double penalty for leaving a game (-20) if you quit 2 games within 1 week (it was 1 month before). This change ensure that we focus the big penalties on players who really abuse of the system, and are more tolerant with the others.
_ When your reputation is really really low, you get more than +1 when you finish a game without any issue. This way, we'd like to encourage players with very low reputation to recover from this situation.
Game interface small changes
By clicking on players names during a game, you can now access their profile.
Some of you asked us to disable the "Turn based personal notes" popup auto showing when loading a turn based game. We consider that if you take some notes during a turn based game, then you'd like to have it back as soon as you get back to this game, but some of you complained about this. For this reason we'd like to experiment the "non-automatic popup" for a while. Please tell us what you think of this.
Finally, we slightly changed the "Go to next table" button, because a lot of you complained that they were clicking on this button by mistake. We hope that the new design will fix this.
Thanks for your continuous support & feedback that allow us to improve this service!
3D ,群组列表,朋友弹出,信誉...
与上个月一样,我们想介绍一些最近的改变。
3D
3D 已经于3 个星期前在 BGA 上引进了。
要激活它,你必须在游戏中点击右上方的"3D"按钮:
我们清楚地指出:2D视角更适合在线游戏。
如果你有不同想法请告诉我们,但我们没有找到在 3D 中更实用的方案。
然而,我们肯定会考虑不时地在游戏中使用3D效果,只是为了"视觉美感"。
目前大多数游戏没有优化3D,所以有时它看起来有点奇怪,但大多数时间都很好,可以使我们得到更好的交流服务。
除此之外,对于 BGA 来说,给大家 (尤其是游戏发行商) 展示我们有能力提供3D游戏是很重要的。
不要犹豫,给我们反馈 !
新朋友功能
通过右上角这个新图标,你不会错过同时在线的朋友,当你的状态是
当你创建一个新游戏房间时,这个新功能可以关联到一个新的邀请一个朋友按钮。
通过这种方式你可以快速邀请一个朋友到你的游戏房间。
对于那些想和特定的玩家一起玩的人,我们将介绍另一个额外的功能。
组列表
来自社群页面,这是一个将列出所有BGA群组的链接。
游戏大厅界面
精简大厅界面的设计改善了很多,并将在之后几个月期继续改善。
这是一个非常强大的工具,现在你会越来越多地使用到。
它允许你在前厅浏览页检查你的 ELO + 同时等待其他的实时游戏,这很酷。
请不要犹豫,给我们您对它的反馈。
声誉系统变化
我们的声誉系统有小改动:
_ 如果你在1周内退出 2 次游戏 (在 1 个月之前),现在你离开游戏时会得到双倍的惩罚(-20)。
这一改变确保了我们对那些真正滥用系统的玩家施加了很大的惩罚,并且对其他玩家更加宽容。
_ 当你的声誉是真的真的很低时,当你完成一局游戏且没有任何问题时,你会至少+1。
通过这种方式,我们希望鼓励玩家从此非常低的信誉情形中恢复过来。
游戏界面小变化
通过在游戏中点击玩家名称,您现在可以访问他们的个人资料。
玩家中的一些人要求我们禁用在加载回合制游戏时"回合制个人笔记"的自动弹出。
我们认为,如果你在一个回合制游戏期间做了一些笔记,那么当你一回到这场比赛时就能马上看到这些笔记,但是你们中的一些人对此有所抱怨。
为此我们想尝试"不自动弹出"一段时间。
请告诉我们你关于这个的想法。
最后,我们略微改变了"转到下一张表格"按钮,因为很多人抱怨,他们会不小心点击此按钮。
我们希望新设计将改善这种情况。
谢谢你的不断支持和反馈,使我们能够改善服务 !
