The town interface is awesome now - it seems to stay on whatever tab I was last using - so when I’m loading folks it stays in IDLE, when I’m serving them, it stays in WAITING, etc. love that.
Thanks also for the little changes here and there.....

Yes, it's so much better now :D
My farm doesn’t - I don’t seem to have the update yet ?
Its an optional update so you have to go into your App Store or google apps, etc to download it manually. I would definitely do it :)Quote:

This is one of the best ‘optional updates’ ever!! Team HayDay should be very proud of themselves. Thank you!!!
Darn, somehow I missed this thread so started a new one. Love this update!
Ah I updated when I saw this thread. I love it. So much better!
I went to the App Store and there is no update pending.Quote:

Great update, thank you SC.
Looks great but a sort order for time and visitor columns is needed.
Weve only asked for this a few hundred times :rolleyes:
As for the chat indicator the icon looks smaller but still ugly. Nothing wrong with the original one.
This should have been implemented when the original UI change was updated. This change took much longer than necessary.Quote:

It’s a good start on the Town UI, there’s still things that need sorting, but this will definitely make life a bit nicer in the meantime.
I hadn’t noticed the chat button, so clearly there is still room for improvement, or hey, let’s go back to how it was! The place wasn’t exactly over run by people complaining it was too small!
RSS user improvements? I couldn’t see any difference, except maybe the advert flickering (or did it do that before?)? Anything else I’ve missed?
I think it’s just the flicker. It seemed as if some players didn’t realise it was still possible to advertise. This should solve that.
i agree it’s a great start to the overhaul of the Town UI. A nice little time saver. :-)
yes :-)Quote:

Thank you SuperCell for responding to our requests. These improvements are great.
My game updated automatically on my iPad and Kindle. I didn’t need to update the app on either one. Love that the town stays on the tab you’re using, great improvement. Thanks!
It's certainly an improvement, but it's a lot of fixing needed to make town awesomeQuote:

Sorry but I’ve obviously missed something big? I hadn’t even noticed the town hall stays on the last tab selected but now it’s been pointed out it is MUCH better on that element. I can’t see any other changes though - some posts have been very enthusiastic but I still can’t see what’s diff apart from the above?
That was the only major thing - it seemed a very much ‘housekeeping’ update - so far I’ve noticed that the neighborhood chat tab is smaller, they messed with available fonts for some foreign characters, the ‘advertise’ button now flickers or blinks when you post an item to remind you that’s there, and you can activate fish or town boosters without being in those specific parts of your farm. Might be a few small other changes too.....very small details.Quote:

It's still too many taps (and I'm still not visiting the town if I don't need to....)
Thank you Team Hay Day for implementing the above Quality of Life changes. Now my Town is active again after turning into a ghost town because it was tedious making extra taps to send visitors to the buildings.Quote:

Did I miss something? I for one think the first town UI upgrade was incredible! Prior to that, you were only able to pull either first or last visitor placed into a building, no access to middle townies in a queue. To be able to have COMPLETE access to every townie in any building at any stage of service is HUGELY better! Well worth a few extra key taps. I cannot believe people are still complaining about having to push buttons to play the game! Really?? You’re so tied up with so little time that a fraction of a second makes that much of a difference? I doubt it. If so, you’ve lost focus on the concept of playing a GAME!!!
Did I miss something? I can't believe people still don't understand why others complain about pressing unnecessary buttons. It's a time and resource management and optimization game. Those fractions of a second add up to lots and lots of unnecessary clicks. It really does ruin the town. The town is only good for Derby now. Such a shame since the town used to be the best part for many players. The game we were playing and liked, was taken away from us and replaced with a tedious button pushing game. So yeah, we have every right to complain.Quote:

When I pick up the maximum number of ten visitors and direct them to my buildings, I had to tap the Idle tab 10 times instead of once because for some odd reason, it keeps defaulting to the All tab. It was amusing at first but then I grew annoyed at the superfluous taps I must make. Playing the town wasn't fun anymore and I decided to mothball the town until THD fixed this oddity of superfluous taps.Quote:

In the above example, I'm glad that the forumites' complaints about the superfluous taps have aligned with the community at large so THD must address it. Thank you THD for your vigorous response to the superfluous taps.
Playing the town without superfluous tapping is fun again for me. :)
”The town is only good for Derby now.” We’ll, I’d hazard a reasonable guess that the majority of players DO PLAY DERBY! And playing derby myself, it was and is MUCH better to have this finesse to optimize town tasks for derby. You have every right to your complaints about the game, or whatever else you’d like, but it is a game for literally thousands and thousands of people, and what makes sense is to optimize the game for the majority. That is just business smart. If you think your beloved town was ruined by the addition of a few extra clicks, and AREN’T playing derby, I’m just not getting the reason its essential to optimize the fraction of a second it takes to click. IT IS A GAME!Quote:

Hay Day requires a lot of tapping in general, and after I’ve been playing for a while, my fingers start to hurt. I have an ergonomic injury that I don’t want to aggravate, so I have to limit my playing time. So a change to the game that reduces tapping means I get to play more :).

Give us the ability to sort based on type of townie, type of building, and for the love of all that's good by how many stops are left lol.
PS. Also thank you for the small tweak today. It's a step in the right direction. :)
