Things that Peeve

Message:

Changing from Pointer to Fog Reveal to Post Text is all slow. There's no logic, only make sure you click-click back to what you need as you need something NOT pointer. Band width with all the talk and some keeping video clicked-on is tough.

The chat window does not go back to bottom when new post occurs. If I scan something up the list; I typically forget to reset to bottom. I try to get people to roll and then state dice total. Cause if I am not in chat, and often I am not, I am looking at a table somewhere else and need to know the percentals diced to ref the outcome. I would program more into this but no one plays like we play.

Tabletop of Jumpgate has wide place to drop stuff. I mean far distance spot which go way off map. Unlike original Roll20. Unfortunately, it lags so I move the map center only to find I have moved 2 ft past where I need to see. I try to set zoom but these do not hold week to week.

Whole click and get three balls is bullshit. Clutters everything and sometimes sticks on when I am moving something different. You may not even see this as player. But each monster token has five buttons that turn on when activated (to shift position), any one of which can stall in a textbox or even new icon selection window. I would be happy to just have coin (pennies) default. Epic Table (miss them) had many such tokens.

Dragging and dropping anything from objects or characters is slow. Half the time the object disappears en route. Where it lands on release is a lag mystery. There's no good way to find objects I upload. Each image, whether map or character portrait or pawn marker is just added to laundry pile.

Each deck I create -- I create many -- adds a whole new set of images, even endless Tarots of repeat graphics. So my objects number several thousand. Add one to game surface and it moves the object panel back to last one loaded. So if I search down for say a section of Era Ten objects and images (game pieces from a few years back), each one retrieved can be several minutes. If I can find them at all. I created folders but again no sort on the many. So many folders are also off screen when I need something. You can sort inside the folder A-Z but I swear many times things I have added disappear. Also the drag and drop from one screen does not work in Folders. You click to activate each piece then drag and drop. If you don't then un-click, the same objects get dumped on map again. My fourteen year old mind could handle these differences better.

My voice may fall-off when I look down to jot notes or tilt my head to look through the object list. I try to swallow the mic as I play for fidelity, but sometimes move it to drink or scratch. So just gripe and I will repeat. I'm actually seldom impatient. I'm smiling or thinking most oft eh two+ hours.

The chat text is fine for player chatter. Most of you type. The players can monitor and keep me honest.

It's all a blessing not to have to drive someplace and meet.
