Downlord VS Original Client! What's the difference?

Postby Medicraze » 11 Nov 2017, 00:17

What is Downlord's Lobby!?! Is it better? Worse?


In this video, I briefly explain it.

I noticed there wasn't much love for the alternatives, at least subjectively. Figured I would help out the community by quickly making a video.

This video is geared for new or curious players regarding these 2 lobby options.
Much of this is my opinion/putting in my "two cents" regarding Downlord's lobby.
Feel free to leave a comment in the video, as I am a bit more responsive (phone gets a notification).

Nicely done. This is an element of "how and what the heck" that is needed for FaF as videos are far better to see things through rather reading :D

Well that's why I made this. I'm starting a playlist that explains things visually for the lazy people (I'm one of those, I'd rather watch than read). It would help player adoption by simplifying things.

Might start on a port mapping "how to" video. we'll see if time allows it.

30 seconds was enough that I knew you'd done a FANTASTIC job on this. Well done. VERY useful content for the community. I will ensure this gets linked on the news page for a bit.

Although i do think most of the client is an improvement, the reason why i don't use it is because the chat has way too much spacing between its lines.

Take 2:30 from your vid. downlords client chat is filled with 16 messages, the other one has 36.
