Terkhen Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello! I have noticed some news popups appearing at the bottom left corner of the screen, but when the game is on fast forward they dissapear too quickly. I think that they should stay longer, and be more noticeable. I missed them completely on my first game Also, I would like to know if there is some way to display a log of recent news, just in case you miss one of them.

BobbyDylan Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 You're going to miss a lot of them. It's basically what the UFO's are doing beyond your detection radiace. There's not way you can stop them( in the early game) so you might as well ignore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaguya Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 There's not way you can stop them( in the early game) so you might as well ignore them. They still add their own flavor. They definitely should stick around longer rather than just flashes that you can't read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terkhen Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes, and from what I have seen they might become more useful in the future. I think that we should have some simple way of accessing those news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It would be nice to look back at the last week or so of new reports. It would give you an idea of which areas might be losing faith in you if you know which ones are getting hit the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targe Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Shouldn't just be incidents, should be ongoing news on the growing public awareness of the ufo flap and the government's inability to do anything, plus the propaganda being put out to quell public fears.

The pop ups actually have purpose in gameplay. Each time news say casualties, number of casualty in that region(plus total casualty of course) rises resulting in less funding by that region.

Chris Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Yeah the new Geoscape UI will have a bit more space for this because the messages won't be directly overlaid onto the map, so there's no incentive to get rid of them ASAP like there is at the moment.

Gauddlike Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Will there be a list to review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safe-Keeper Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 It would give you an idea of which areas might be losing faith in you if you know which ones are getting hit the most. Yeah, if they're actual UFO activity and not just fluff, that would make them hugely useful when deciding which areas to patrol with fighters beyond radar range, or where to build new bases.
