New Idea Remove the "Guild Reward Obtained!" message as a pop-up

[Charles el Britannia]

Reason

As a quality of life improvement this superfluous pop-up should be removed because no one cares about how many Expedition Points one gets after an encounter. But it slows down the player because he has to click on "Continue" every time. If you want to go through a level in fast manner it is really annoying. When GE6-10 arrives the problem will be even exacerbated.

Details

Remove the pop-up with the "Continue" message and leave it to the small pop-up to the top to inform the player how many Expedition Points the guild has received.

Balance

No impact on the game.

Abuse Prevention

Impossible to abuse this.

Summary

Remove a feature from the game that requires unnecessary clicking by the player for no interesting information.

Have you looked to see if this has already been suggested?

I have not seen this yet.

After every encounter in GE we get a message like this:

But does anybody care about how many Expedition Points we get?

The amount of Expedition Points also appears at the top of the screen, like this:

This is okay and I propose that the Expedition Points are only displayed there. That will speed up playing GE!

Or, we can have an option to turn off these kinds of popups.

Turning off all reward pop-ups or specific ones would be a massive QoL improvement.

 

[Charles el Britannia]

Absolutely. Now I find myself constantly pressing the 'Esc' button on my keyboard when I'm fighting GE because I want to get rid of all those reward pop-ups. If they would just appear on the side and fade away automatically that would be so much better!

I am guessing like, one popup message for mobile app users and other for PC users, but something in the code pulls both the popups to both the users

Lucky no one mentioned DNS for this, since the popup annoys every player.

Removing popups can be an option, but the thought process to indicate the expedition points can have different solution. For the GE top bar mentioning the expedition points, when the player completes an encounter, please do a marquee effect on the top bar where the expedition points getting displayed. Once doing the marquee effect on new expedition points gathered, then coming back to normal behaviour of showing total expedition points will solve every device not to have a popup for it.

Hope everyone knows about marquee effect, if not, it is similar effect like describing the fragment count in text in the tooltip asking them to happen on GE top bar.

Example,

initially top bar shows like,
| 139,576 / 395,754 |

when an encounter gets completed successfully, then the top bar will be displayed like,

| 15346 expedition points received |
.....here the text will be moving from right to left within the bar itself and once finish marqueeing the entire text top bar will be moved into initial behavior with updated expedition points.

In one of the scenario, other player encounter completion expedition points received also currently gets displayed, to handle that now with this marquee approach, it can be used with displaying player name in the brackets at the end in the top bar.

Like this,
| 15346 expedition points (nice2haveu) |
which will be shown to other players. If needed, we can display small profile icon while marqueeing along with other texts in the top bar itself with the name displayed in brackets.

Before completing one marquee, player finishes multiple encounter means, marquee for each encounter completion gets happened on the top bar one by one on the basis of FIFO (First In First Out).

The marquee effect taxes the most system resources in any game, it's annoying (especially when multiple instances are completed), and it's not necessary. The popping on the guild progress bar should be sufficient.

Not to worry in FOE. Previously we had spin wheel pirate event with displaying neighbourhood progress in the event as a marquee approach.
So having the marquee in bar doesn't need to worry for the performance or anything. But that much work needed for less cared/noticed expedition points are little overwhelming.

Agree with popping in the guild progress should be sufficient. Let's seez what dev decide for this. As usual they don't do anything and keep quiet whenever popup related ideas gets suggested or they are going to surprise us by making the change, no one can predict here.

My proposal is a month old, received a lot of upvotes and there is still no response if it is worthy of being forwarded. Perhaps this topic has been overlooked?

Defiantly, they're swift in rejecting some ideas for being DNSL. Guess it must've been overlooked. Alongside other ideas/suggestions with sufficient upvotes for for getting forwarded

I had you a month ago on the plus one, hope it gets forwarded.
