I will agree that the audio was horrid, ad as for the music, it's something you live with there lol, I keep my speakers at 1 to not deal with it

and as for the navigation there is one click jumping, providing you landmarked places...
The point of this thing was to try to function just like a big, tactile convention. Can you imagine an actual conference blaming any confusion on the attendees themselves for not showing up days in advance to learn the layout = epic failure.

Your failure is that you assume all attendees to be familiar with anything in this "environment" at all. Heck, there are always people at "real" shows getting lost to say nothing of a virtual space.

If you actually read what I, and others, said I commended this effort but noted that there are tweaks that need to be made. Anyone who's ever been a part of any show knows that's always the case. And anyone who hasn't blames the attendees
