This could help players understand certain problems, and fix their confusion right away. This could also be good to Inform players about new Updates, or Bugs they need to avoid doing.
I always disliked the empty space on the main menu, so this would be a good way to fill things up and prevent repeat questions. You could have one box for dev announcements (bugs, refreshing servers, etc.) and perhaps another that shows Trello updates, sort of like the bot on the forums.
good idea in concept, i don’t think it’s a great one in practice, i feel the player should be alerted of the current status (if the status is poor) apon start up as a pop up.
Having it down out of the way on the main menu is much less noticeable and won’t totally remove confusion from players when they don’t get units/exp/achievements
But still, people will definitely notice it before Sending a message about why the problems happening, a popup is as noticable as a thing that stays there
