Just a very simple question.

Why can't we see who is in a party in the opposing team_

This is really annoying and it needs to be visible from the
beginning of the match to the end, so we can focus on the party
if needed.

Why are parties hidden_

They are hidden because most players that see parties of 3 will just leave on sight, or have higher probability of rage-quitting if the game doesn't go in their favor. Just a hunch.

Would not be a terrible idea in the relatively near future. :)

I can see that happening, considering that parties generally have higher coordination then strangers. Team of players versus a bunch of randoms_ How could that be a bad idea :0

putting teams in against pubs is one of the dafter moves Hawken has made
hiding who the teams are is tacit acceptance that it was a bad move but a sadly necessary move given the size of the player base
glad it worked out in the end!

oh, wait...

"To the untrained eye this chart may indeed appear to demonstrate a steep and sustained downward trend; however, what you're actually seeing is the line being dragged down because of the strengthening gravitational pull of a player base that is actually increasing in density.  Rest assured, this is all going completely according to plan."
