I like that we can now choose the amount of FPs we're going to donate to a GB but I think the default number should probably be the number of FPs left for the current level: ...
I think it's perfect the way it is, having the amount of FPs in the bar prefilled - so it's the same as it was was for the last few years.
(And normally, only 1/6 [or less, in case of old school chains] of all donations should level the LB. You don't want a dozen players leveling your LBs before time when they just want to use their bar FPs the way they'e used to..)
As for the notification announcement: It's really uncommon to have the announcement, but not the feature, especially when the feature is planned to be released on next week's update, and we didn't have any chance to test it yet ?!??
As for the feature - I'd love to have
all [app] notifications in the browser, too - the announcement says nothing about "tavern full", "FP bar full", "trade accepted" and so on.
In general, I'm quite happy to get three great new features / changes (FP amount input, faster tavern visits and locking/ hiding items away from the AD) - but why do they come so fast this time, without some more testing or polishing? The same goes for the Battlegrounds..
Some more feedback on those features:
- locking items only works on the main page of the inventory, not on the item or building pages
- hiding items from within the AD item picker would be great, too - a little square padlock icon next to the "Sell" button, so that you don't have to leave the item picker, the AD, open the inventory, search for the item, lock it, close inventory, open AD, switch to the barter tab and select a slot again..
- More desktop notifications would be fine, see above
- the FP selection box could use some graphical polishing so that it blends better with the LB window; the enter key should work for "use"ing the FPs, having to switch back to the mouse to actually donate the FPs is not intuitive.
- there's plenty of room below the three buttons, you could easily add some (more) preset buttons there - e.g. 50, 100, [amount to fill LB]
