Kaldar's suggestions so far

[kaldar]

Just the things I have noticed so far that I feel could improve the game interface/playability. I will try to place these in order of my prioritization.

1) On Ter'angreals, can you PLEASE make the stat that it adds onto an item when combining a different color than the rest listed on it? Every time I find one I have to hop over to the wikki and run a search to make sure how tightly I should hold onto it with my greedy little fingers. (This should be pretty easy to implement, right?)

2) On my profession, my businesses tab, can you please add the timers so I can see how long until something is ready in a particular town without having to visit all of them? I realize there could be different times till completed, so maybe just list when the next thing in progress will be completed ?

3) I haven't been attacked yet so don't know if this has been added or not. Saw it on fearless' list of things. A Replay option for defensive battles if it isn't there already?

4) I'm a numbers guy so I really like to see how many XP I receive for a particular battle, but I have found the XP total on my profile accomplishments tab doesn't update in live time. Sometimes I click around, even log out and log back in, but it still hasn't updated. I'm not sure what triggers it to update now, but could we have a way to see how many XP we earn from a particular battle? Either add it to the battle script so at the end it could say something like "22 XP earned" , or add another way to see this information?

...

I will think on any other suggestions, but overall I am enjoying the game

It would be great to see when my businesses are going to be completed.

I agree this would be nice, but it's not that easy to implement. The code that displays the stats doesn't know where the bonuses came from. It just looks at the total stats of the item. Plus it gets difficult when you have both a prefix and suffix, or a stat that comes from the item and one or both of the ter'angreal. I agree it'd be nice, but it's far from easy.

2) On my profession, my businesses tab, can you please add the timers so I can see how long until something is ready in a particular town without having to visit all of them? I realize there could be different times till completed, so maybe just list when the next thing in progress will be completed ? .

The times would be nice, but it's another complex situation. Like you said, there could be multiple things done at multiple times. So the code would have to find all the times and determine which one is done next and display it properly. Doesn't sound complicated, but the database doesn't store the times in a way that makes it easy to look up. Plus there's not a lot of screen real estate (especially on the mobile size) to try and add a column for times.

3) I haven't been attacked yet so don't know if this has been added or not. Saw it on fearless' list of things. A Replay option for defensive battles if it isn't there already?

There is replays for defensive battles already.

I've ran into this too. Will try to find a way to get it to display again. I believe the XP on the profile page is only updating when the Heroes page gets updated now, which does make it a pain to figure out how much you're actually earning.

Keep them coming!

I think it would be really important to the game for the clan tab to notify you when someone has posted in clan chat. People are used to not much talking going on, so they don't check clan chat very often. Something similar to the pop up when you level would be great ... that way social interaction improves, and people will be more interested in staying around.

[Jenlyn]

That would make clan chat more active, and lively clan chat can certainly be a big draw for some players. Those who don't care for lots of chatter can skip reading it, although popping into clan chat to clear the notification might be a minor annoyance, unless they don't mind the notification just sitting there. Important clan information/instructions from the leader can still be communicated in private messages (a group message function would be useful, so that specific, multiple players can be messaged at once), so taciturn players can still be kept in the loop.

This is just a random thought for pretty cool bragging rights. Only you know how easy or difficult it would be to implement, or probably more accurately if it would cause any slowdown in the battles .... but, can you write a little script to track the highest damage battle turn for the entire age?

In other words, if I do 200 physical damage and 100 poison damage in a turn, that would count as 300 damage. Then compare that to the max so far in the age. Only keep the highest, along with maybe the description for that turn, and the character who dealt it. then at the end of the age you could announce the master damage dealer for the age ... something like that.

Thoughts ?

I promise I didn't pay him to suggest this. I'm 100% for it though.

[kaldar]

Does anyone else think it would be cool if the leader of the clan had a screen to see the battle readiness of his people? In other words, be able to see how many attack turns each person has so that he can plan for battling hordes and things like that ?
