Annoying silo/barn counter when collecting

I started playing Hay Day since the second-to-last update in early June. This counter was missing and people keep asking for it. Now while it's back, I only find it annoying on my tiny screen of iPod 5. It keeps showing there forever and hides everything else underneath.

I wonder why people miss it ? Can't they click on your barn/silo ? When their bars/silo is constantly full, they're encouraged to upgrade it. If they hardly reach its max capacity, why is it so important to know how much free space left ?

Maybe I missed something, or I'm already used without it.

For me I find it annoying when the counter was missing. This is because when i collect everything, I have no idea how much space I have left and I find it very annoying to tap on the barn/silo every time to check how much space I have left.

I definitely prefer having the counter displayed everytime I harvest, this way I know how much barn/silo space I have let.

Also the counter used to be displayed before, it just happened that it was a bug when the fishing boat update came. So they fixed it.

I understand it was fixed and I wonder why I can't see how great it was for some people. I guess you play on a big screen device aka iPad ?

What really is annoying for me is how the counter gets in the way and doesn't let me see the info for about 2-3 seconds since the last item gone
Let me give you one example: I was wheating, a visitor comes by. I harvest an entire field of 30 and click on the visitor to see his request. But the counter pops out and stay there till the last crop goes to the silo, let's say 3 seconds. I have to wait till it's gone to see what he wants. It happens to me more than 20 times a day :(.

Plus, I find the counter too big. Why do we need the coloured bar when the mention "items numer/capacity" is more than enough. It could be show in a more ergonomic way, how about only the number of space left ?

I think it can be improved for tiny screen device aka iPhone/iPod (my device).

I play on both devices. An iPad Mini and an iPhone 4S and have no issues on my iPhone 4S at all. I know what you mean but for me it isn't an issue.

I agree, the counter is a little too big for my tiny iPhone screen but I rather have it being there than not.

Like KwonChu, I'm always hoarding stuff so my barn is always near capacity, having the counter lets me know when it's time to get rid of some stuff and what available space I have left. Yes, I can click on the barn/silo to see but every time? It gets rather annoying.

It's like a broken speedometer. Do I really need to know how fast I'm going? I can always pace the cars around me...but I rather I have it working so I can drive accordingly. Probably not the best analogy but hey, it works for me :)

Oh and the little visitors? Let them wait. They're not going anywhere :D

Please be assured, I didn't mean to ask for its removal. Rather than that, I'm trying to understand what I'm missing to find the counter so cool. Reaching my barn capacity while collecting is not a problem for me. Stuffs don't run a way and I can still produce, letting them pile up around the machine. BUT when you I go shopping and it says "Your barn is FULL", now that's a BIG BIG BIG problem...especially when I'm about to buy 10 Bolts :mad:.

It's not about the visitor waiting, it's about me having to wait for the counter to disappear. Not having a clear view bothers me a lot. I love selling them crops but I need to decide whether they can get crops right away. Beside that, with no confirmation on spending diamond, I've learned to look carefully where my finger lays.. it becomes a habit quickly.

By the way, one more thing, those visitor are always to near the house. Even if I zoomed in, I miss them almost every times, unless I catch them when they passed the truck. Yeah, you can blame me having a really big finger :cool:.

This is what makes the counter cool. I came across an ad that was selling a shop full of BEMs and was unable to purchase the lot because my "barn was full". This was when the counter was missing. Had it been there, I would've bought the whole shop because I would've had the space (it's usually 50 below max capacity). I didn't make it habit to click on the barn every time I needed to see the capacity and because of that my barn was full so I missed out on some goodies. Having the counter visible every time is a big part of the "preparation process" for me and that's why I like it, if that makes sense.

I wish there was a sign that we can place on our farm that says "Not Selling Today!" so the visitors can go away. I never sold to them. I rather sell what they're asking for at my shop for max price :)

Got your point!. You see, the tiny counter when you do shopping is all what I need. Why on our farm it turns into big countermeter ? That's unfair :confused: (joking).

It's part of my strategy. I only sell crops to them, eggs and other animal products if I have plenty because I don't bother put it in the shop (quick turnover). They don't sell without ad. I like keep good stuff for my neighbors and tend to avoid high traffic in my farm if possible. Some neighbors kindly filled my boat and I want to return the favor. If the crates are not open, the only way I can help is to put that item on sell and hope they will come by searching for it before anyone else. Advertising = high traffic = new followers.

Supercell should organise an event with those little visitors so we can like them again :cool:.

U sound like a great neighbor to have! I'm going to send u a friend request right now :). It starts with a K, level 71.

Be careful, you'll receive tons of friend request since now.

Believe it or not, one person whom I followed following me back. She always sells BEM/LEM and it seems I was the lucky one most of the time.

LEM = Land Expansion Material
BEM = Barn/Building Expansion Material

Sorry, not accepting applications at this time. :(

Seems that new counter is different from the old one. Could be wrong feeling. Anyway, it's better with counter. Thanks SC to return it that fast.
