It would be great if the "In Derby" / "Not in Derby" displayed in the neighbourhood house was live during the derby cool-down period, so both an individual player and the team could easily see who has opted in or out of the upcoming derby.

Yes please.
I have often wished for the same thing.Quote:

It has been asked for on threads all over the place. Hopefully lots of people will add their 'yes please' to this thread too.
Hi SmallChange, could you please send me some of those threads?Quote:

I added this to a similar thread, so I thought I better have it in my own, to further clarify why I would like this feature. :)

As a neighborhood co-leader, it is important for me to know whether or not members of my hood have opted out of the upcoming derby IN ADVANCE of when the next derby starts, and I would be so appreciative of being able to see this info in the derby log.
As it is now, as soon as one derby ends all we see is that everyone is 'not in derby'. Supercell - please modify this to instead report useful information to us, such as:
Opted In
Opted In
Opted Out
Opted In
Opted Out
Why is this important? Here's an example: say I have a member who was in our last derby yet didn't finish his or her tasks. They mention in chat that they got busy and will opt out before the next derby, but as a leader I have no way to know if they remembered to do this or were too busy to do so - until the actual derby starts. If this person forgets to opt out, then our 'hood has two weeks of derby impacted by their absence and everyone else is grumpy.
The only other thing we as leaders can do is boot them from the hood before the derby starts, but this is a drastic step that the cool opt out feature was created to no longer forces us to take (thank you Supercell). If you can give us info on who has opted in and out in advance of the derby start, then we would only have to boot a task-missing member if they had forgotten to opt out... something we would know.
This would help the entire neighborhood continue to enjoy each and every derby to the max.
Thank you in advance Supercell for reviewing this idea and implementing it if you can!

I agree, additionally, I would suggest that the leader should be able to opt in/out members instead of having to kick them out
Yes please !
I think this is an amazingly wonderful idea. I think also adding Green for in and read for out would be helpful. this could be done in several ways. The opt in and out button themselves, the windows in the pink house could change colors depending on if you are in or out. A lamp post at the pink house that glows red or green could be helpful.
I agree mindo
Yes Sultanas - your idea underscores the current problem that now it is very difficult to tell whether you are opted in or opted out. The setting dialog does not help at all. We have had several people in our neighborhood think they had opted out but made mistakes and stayed opted in (which was a problem for the whole hood because they could not play that week).
There is one thing I have found so far to confirm one's own setting, and I set up the images over on the wiki:

Notice how clicking on the derby building looks different when one has opted out. But your idea of a color change is nice because it involves no action - you don't have to click or anything - you just see it.
That combined with my first idea of changing the Log status would be a super combo.
Thanks for the good ideas and support everyone.
Yes! Especially when a well liked member has unintentionally wandered off... Or is gone for more than a week. The auto opt in puts them in. It should be sign up to be in.Quote:

I'm not sure if you are new to the game or just the forum, but either way, the 'New to Hay Day' section is invaluable.
YES!! We as leaders need to know who is opted in for the NEXT derby during the derby pause. It is critical information for us in the Champions League especially.Quote:

We get already messages when we get a horseshoe, when someone needs help, when a task is deleted, when someone joins or leaves the NH, and when someone gets reported (by mistake oops). Why not when the derby opt in/out status changes too?
We had an infrequent player, who has been opted out for over 2 months, decide yesterday (who knows why) to opt in. If we were not on the CL, it would not be such a big deal, but we barely escaped relegation last week when one of our members forgot to opt out and therefore did no tasks due to the holiday. We had hoped that this week we would have all hands on deck, but this infrequent player opted in on us without us knowing until the derby started.
Before folks tell us to just kick this person, she is a sweet kid and we can deal with her comings and goings AS LONG AS SHE IS NOT IN THE DERBY :( If we could have seen she was in, I could have reached out to her and I bet she would have opted back out.
+1 here, would be very helpful
Hi,
i am leader and opt out this week.
it's very frustrating as leader when you can't even see how many tasks à member in derby did.
and i think i should be able to see what tasks are on the board, wich tasks are taken and wich tasks are trashed.
i tought hayday would have change that...but the only thing that changed is the place we have in derby is to see for me of opt out.
very disappointing, i hope hayday Will change this
i started à new thread
greet, schelpen
I agree with those asking for the leaders to be able to opt a player out of the derby...
so when other neighbors are upset that players aren't participating or opting out for multiple weeks, we won't have to kick them out of the neighborhood not knowing what is going on. Maybe they had a death in the family and we boot them out because of lack of participation? Please allow the leaders to opt players out of the derby!
That would also help leaders know who may have been opted in involuntarily so that the leader can try to handle the situation before the derby starts. Two weeks running, SC's system has opted in players in our neighborhood who had previously been opted out for weeks - a fact we didn't discover until after the derby had started and the player had not appeared to take tasks. In fact, a few of these players had not even played HD for a long time, and of course thought they were still opted out of the derby.
Of course Customer No-Support told me that the system could not possibly opt-in a player and that it was the fault of our players. It definitely was not. It has happened to us (and probably to other neighborhoods who just didn't realize that their neighbors were not taking tasks due to the fact that those neighbors thought they were opted-out but had actually been opted-in by the system). It caused us to be demoted from the Champions League, and now we're trying hard to get back up.
But nothing is ever SC's fault, according to them, and the system couldn't possibly do anything it wasn't intended to do. Huh. That is why there is a word for such - GLITCH.
