There's also a link to the Stock Market on the front page. Click on Nigel, just above the "Neodaq Index."
And I disapprove of using so many primary colors without secondary colors to balance them. Red, blue, and yellow together tend to give things a "childish" feel.

What I don't get is why they would take the NP ratio off "for a reason" when the NP ratio wasn't in the game room originally. They obviously thought it was a worthwhile enough feature to add it at the same time they added the number of times played to the main games room. What could have happened in the meantime to change their mind.

I'm glad to hear of the Firefox quality workaround. I have a reasonably new computer that can handle all the games, but there are several games in which hanging is a big problem (like Ultimate Bullseye and The Buzzer Game) that work better in Low mode for me.

Thank you to those who showed how to get to the Stock Market. I hope the member who was looking for it was able to find it.

When I first saw the new game pages with the difficulty rating, my first thought was that it'd be cool if the NP ratio changed according to the difficulty.

So ... maybe they're implementing something like that. Or working on something to do with it :)

Thank you Yvonne!

I have just send a letter to TNT using that form, concerning the following issues:
- Removal of the points ratio
- Removal of the quality settings
- Games now loading in the same window as an already open game, instead of a new window
- Increase of score sending failure
- Increase of sponsor game scores getting reviewed

I encourage everyone else who agrees that these things need to be changed to contact TNT as well! I think the more people who voice their opinion the higher the chance we can get some results.

I think if we can we need to find out what the reasons are behind the removal of the points ratio, and possibly write up a coherent, well thought out, persuasive argument for re-instating it. I don't know how likely it is they will listen to us, but it can't hurt to try!

I think there are two links that should be in the new game room, but are missing. They were both in the old game room. The link for the Stock Market is missing as well as a link to "My Favorite" games. What's the point in having the "Favorites" if there's no quick link to them? I've written an e-mail to TNT about the missing links as well as some of the other issues that have been brought up here.

Uh you guys...the games windows are opening up in separate windows for me. They have been ever since they changed the games room. I'm running the latest version of Firefox, and I've had no problems with games loading in the same window.

The quickest way I've found to get to favorites is just to click on a random game on the front page and then click on the link at the bottom of the game page. Or you could always just bookmark it.

Hmmm. For quite a few days after the update they were loading in the same window for me. But I just tried loading two games and they loaded in separate windows for me now. I'm using the most recent version of Firefox as well.

Yes I agree the stock market and favorite links should be on the main games room page, that only makes sense. There's plenty of room for them down at the bottom where they have the little icons. I was going to bring that up in my letter as well, but I forgot. Oh well I have the favorites page bookmarked anyway.

*Checks to see if games are loading in separate windows for me now too*

And they are! You have no idea how happy this makes me.

The games are now opening in separate windows for me too - so much more convenient. Hopefully theyll change the other concerns too (especially the points to score ration).

Well that's good at least one of the issues has been resolved! ^_^

But sponsor game scores are still being reviewed left and right.
I tried that new sponsor game today, Minor Personality Quirks. I thought 'oh good! It's a personality quiz, you always get the same points for those, no matter what, so surely they won't review that score.' But they did! 300 measly points and it's getting reviewed. Oh won't it be brilliant if I get frozen for playing a stupid sponsor personality quiz? :x

Maybe we should start a boycott on sponsor games. :P I don't know about anyone else, but I'm never gonna play sponsor games again unless they fix that.

Somehow I don't think they'll freeze us for getting the only possible score on a sponsor game :P I do hope they get the glitch worked out soon though so I can get on with the top gamer avvie.

I really noticed what a difference not knowing what the points ratio was when playing the games master challenges, some games give out way less than I would have thought.... it really does need addressing.

I wouldn't put it past them. >.> Especially if it is a glitch that is making it apear that we are getting a higher score that we actually are. I've heard of that happening before.

But on another note. From the editorial:
Quote:
Hey TNT! First off you all did a great job in the games room, it looks awesome. There is one minor detail it seems has been left out. Why is there no 75 Neopoints for every 100 points scored? I loved those statistics! Please bring them back!!!
Yup, sorry about that! We're still tweaking things and will be updating again with a few changes. :) Ratio and other information will be available, as well as the ability to once again change the game quality.


YES! Thank you TNT! :hug: Now hopefully they will actually get around to putting those things back in the near future, and not like... next year. XD

Now if only they'd stop reviewing sponsor game scores ridiculously, everything would be good! I suppose I can live with out playing sponsor games. But I do really miss playing the crowd patrol games, they are so quick and easy! :(

On the first night of the new games room, I had problems with most of my sponsor sends getting reviewed, but I haven't had any reviewed since then. I play three crowd patrol games every night (Pawz, Lady and the Tramp, and the Tamagotchi one). It's still happening to you guys?

Also, I've had that glitch a few times before where I scored, say, 4590 in Volcano Run and it sent as 4630. I asked dirtside about it and he said it wasn't a big deal and I wouldn't get frozen because "who the hell would cheat to increase their score by 0.87%?" ;) I'd be more worried if it was happening a lot, but it's rare, and the score never gets reviewed anyway.
