I really hate the new research tree. Looks very childish. If it stays, I go. It's an embarrassment having it on my screen I'm 60, not 6!!!!
kan i haz ur Diamonds?

Yet another example of live having to beta test a new feature because the beta server was inadequate for it.
I seriously do not understand the complaints about the color, size, or other visual issues with this change. I have looked at the tech tree on PC, phone and tablet, and it isn't overly bright...it fills the space almost exactly like the old version when the ages are expanded... the text is easy to see and read (and I wear bifocals)... and the panorama when the ages are condensed is really nice, especially on the mobile version. I'm wondering if other players' settings are making their tech tree look different from what I can see.
A beta test is to make sure something works as intended. This is more of a focus group: to put it in front of a larger group of people than on beta, to better gauge the interest of the player base.
The only reason why beta could not suffice for this purpose is because, as I said, the beta server is currently failing in its purpose. If a beta server exists, the only things coming to the live servers should be wide releases, not partial ones. But again, like I said, the beta server is not properly set up to facilitate testing of just about anything unless you're willing to commit to basically another full-fledged server, so there aren't enough people providing hands-on feedback to get the data Inno's looking for.
why should we have to get used to it? If they want me to continue spending my money they should get used to trying to give me a decent product. Really, I am having a difficult time understanding how anyone let this even get to the testing stage. it's that bad.My experience has been mostly the same. With the colors, it's just something we all have to get used to.
Aw man, I forgot about that. That made things so much easier.One thing that I miss from the previous layout was the button to search the market for goods on future techs. It appears to show up only on the one(s) currently being researched, but not any ahead of it. I like to go ahead and start stocking up on goods needed for future unlocks.
I have to agree the new color scheme is atrocious!! It is also incredibly difficult to discern what is what. Please roll this back.This is horrible. It takes study to discern what you are looking at. The old research tree you could see immediately what you needed, not so with this one. the icons for the ingredients are way too small and the colors make it difficult to read. Please give us back the old one while you fix the new one
