Unit responsiveness feels much better in Beta 2!

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I've made a couple notes about how the units didn't feel responsive in the past, and I have to say I can't put my finger on it but they all just feel like they respond much quicker now and I don't feel as if I am fighting to get them to do what I want as much.  Part of this is the reduced stopping time but overall it feels much better!

One thing I've been still having trouble with is the patrol/move indicators.  In order to drag them around you need to click and drag on the bottom ring.  This bottom ring is rather small and I still find myself missing it all too frequently.  Is there a way to make it so you can click and drag anywhere on the geometry of the indicator?

Edit:  Oh and the pop up map showing units and buildings is pretty awesome :)

Yes i do feel theres an improvement, might just have been performance related, or overall getting used to how the game plays.

I still feel that it isnt quite there, with the accuracy of the commands, and the UI feedback is still a bit strange after you queue move commands e.t.c..

But i also feel iam enjoying the game more than before.

Most definitely still room for improvement.  Just a good step in the right direction.
