So here's a few ideas on cleaning up the interface. 1) Show items you have as a fraction of those needed. So if you want to upgrade your banner it'll show as 12/43 steels needed, 4/15 bronze bars, and so on. 2) Make items screen allow you to buy item needed to unlock it. So if you click on your crux chest it'll ask if you want to buy a key and list its cost. It'll show what keys work. You can chose they key with the nobs or the 5k ones. 3) If an item expires allow it to get burned. This freaking orb of Khelhedron which gives me some sort of ridiculous 500 static spy defense is so worthless and has always been worthless. In 2009 it was worthless. I'm tired of looking at that stupid junk. Burn these goat hooves also. Come on. I'm never using those again. B) Cut it out with the items. There are too many and they're completely unmanaged in a poor interface. Some you buy at the oracle some elsewhere, some you earn in EB..... it's dumb. 1 item shop with all prices listed and if you can't buy it list it anyhow with how many you have. In fact get rid of the shopping screen. Just call it items. Show if you have them slotted. List by slots or consumables. List all items and how you get them. 1 nob, eb only, combine items... whatever. 5) Permanent items are too similar to items that you slot. Change one set to your avatar/champion and the other set to your armies. So my permanent item is a helmet for my avatar. My helmet slot on my army then becomes horses or wagon trains or spider-centaur-horseshoes or whatever ridiculous business needs had. Just eliminate the old pictures and update to new. Add a trebuchet, ballista, onager, whatever in the next slot. 6) If I have used a special item in an eb... the game should remember it. Srsly. I have to equip and unequip a sickle? Just hook it up and leave it that way until I undo it. Same with items. Go to that screen pre-highlighted if I need Elvin shield than have it on when I click use item. Make all the items I don't have black and white so I can order it if I get there and I'm all out. It's like a sobriety check to navigate to the pots purchase screen. Clans/war system F) Allow hall passes for clans. I know it's more data to track, but I have to ASK to get into clans I made. That's nuts. 7) Link allied clans and allow allied cc banner. You want war? That's how you get full on clan system OSW. Allow 2 alliances to go at each other via war declaration. List all clans via a link and show hits/attempts per player but not win/loss money values. I should be able to look at the Zaft list and see there's these 563 players doing all the work and this guy is an inactive carcass. All Clan owners must agree to end war for it to shut off tracking. Individual clans can wimp out or join. Individual members can become runners.... those should be listed accordingly on the lists. So if my clan gives up show us still in war and approved to end war but still available on the list in case the winners want to keep beating us like dogs. No victory rewards necessary. Options for ending are -draw, surrender, vindictive surrender. Winners would list opposite that on their history as -draw, victory, insane victory. 12) VK should have unlimited speakers just like mods. They got there via training other players. They should be able to continue that in WC. Abuse and you lose your VK. 26) PVP should allow a similar thing to the upper clan perks. You can PVP me for days and see who's active and who's turtling up. You both need to agree to release the tracking. It's then listed on player profile. This would increase PVP and remove the PVP liars or boasting losers who don't actually fight back. 67) Its been suggested 700 times but allow drag and drop to move buildings to clean up your land look. You'll find players burning cash on rebuilds. Y) Alter the steal percentage back up from .002 to .02. It takes 50,000 steals to clear a player. That's straight up crazy. 5,000 is way more fun and realistic. 65) Return minimum loss on attacks (not spies). So if my build takes 75,000 a hit off a player I can actually hit than thats my min amount of $$ destroyed on my victim. I can destroy more if they have more $$ up, but in a strip attacks are sketchy. It would allow 1 on 1 to actually clear a low allies player. Fghhgg and I used to do that to each other on a bimonthly basis and it was amazing. Attacks became %'s and the option no longer exists to 1 on 1 to empty. Troll away kids. I forgot how to BB code so start there.
/lock No effort. Next time put BB codes you nub. [Before this thread gets locked. I wanna add that items should be limited I'm tired of EB warriors stacking up on items, so they can can hit a certain EB or not be attacked to easily.]
Lots of great ideas and worth the time to read! After you get some feedback you should definitely email ATA with this list or a shorted/expanded version
1) Yes 2) yes 3) u mean you don't wear goat hooves for RP? B) Meh 5) so two equipment sets???? Not everyone has permanent items though 6) no, this is just lazy F) Good idea probably will not ever happen 7) good idea but not like people utilize the in game system currently 12) biased because you are one 26) don't get it 67) Burning cash = good soNo Y) yes 100% 65) interesting I appreciate the erratic listing system
I agree to VKs getting unlimited speakers. They were picked by the Developers for being outstanding players, much like moderators. Why wouldn't you want those exemplary players to have a voice in world chat?
I agree with most of it, aside from VK needing speakers. I can't remember the last time I actually saw a VK in WC. Let alone needing more than the 25 speaker limit.
When I was a VK I requested speakers all the time, because I was in WC all the time. They never responded. The idea behind the VK was to highlight those who are outstanding for one reason or another. Speakers are a great idea to continue to let your helpful players continue to help.
I'd be in WC more if I had more speakers. Kool-Aid used to be teaching people all day in WC before there were guides. He's a retired mod but would make a good pilot for speakers on a VK in WC. Skip mine if it's all that bad you think I'm advocating for personal perks. If you don't want to hear my training that's fine by me.
Yup. It's damn well 2017, and the interface for most of the game hasn't been touched, or only slightly tweaked since release. Maybe instead of thinking up what mystical eb drop can come next they could clean up some of these. Awesome work swab. Agree 100%.
Yea, it's been 8 years they can rebuild the interface. I can't imagine joining this game now and thinking it was well thought out. It's designed for iPhone 3!
I would very much like to see a new interface for ALL platforms and also have the same features that android and apple have. Make those QoL features universal
