Hi there

As you saw if you have Android and downloaded the latest update, you can now select which zone to play into. I'm just not sure whether the system is self-explanatory, so I want to get feedback on it and whether I should change the text on the zone.

You see something like:
zone name (I picked the names after famous WWI battles)
capacity (bars from green to red)
speed (bars from green to red)

grey = that zone is down (usually when I'm updating machines)


it stands for:
capacity: green = zone has some people, yellow = zone is half full, red= zone is practically full and you may get "servers full" messages.
speed: green = you have a fast connection with this zone, yellow = speed with this zone is ok, red = speed with this zone is bad (you will probably have lag on it)



The idea is that you can do these 2 things:
1) Pick the zone that is fastest to you, so less lag going on.
2) Pick a zone with friends, so that you all land on the same server area and have high chances of getting into the same game.


Shortly I will also add a chat system into that screen, so you can chat while waiting or decide which zone to join.

The new update wasn't good. I can't keep the bomb :(
If I don't fire one by one the bomb drops, if I use throttle the screen jumps for as long as I holde the throttle. Glade it was the tablet and not the phone I updated.

I think the best part is if you keep getting put into a game you don't like say CTC if you pick a different server you can get a different game. Pluribus will be happy...well in his own way I'm sure :)
