🚨TOWN UI - Petition for Changes

[BostonGirl]

Fellow HD Town Addicts Unite!

WussyPuss and others have begun threads to consolidate ideas we hope SD will act on. This is one such thread. It is necessary because SC unfortunately got the idea that we were all satisfied with the Town UI’s quick fix. It’s become clear, I think, that that is not the case. While the fix improved things a bit, it has not gone far enough to make Town-play the slick, well-oiled machine it once was. There is far too much scrolling, and eyeing and tapping required. Our time in the town is now practically doubled doing basic tasks.

So please state your concerns and/or your support here. In many cases, the passionate ones will be restating already well articulated ideas. I suggest copy and paste. Seriously.

I’ll kick it off.

GREAT CHANGES

1. Collect Reward - can’t say enough good things about this. 10 thumbs up.

2. Idle Tab sorted according to townie - again a fantastic change that helps greatly with those specific townie tasks

3. Tab redundancy - the fix that helped so much


PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE CHANGE

1. Please sort the “ALL” tab by number of shops required to visit (as the old system did) from 1 shop to 3 shops (that’s ascending order I think)

2. Please remove the “See Visitor” option UNLESS doing that makes it impossible to “Collect Reward”. If so, please recode so we can have both. A big ask I know but that’s how much the “See Visitor” option is not worth it.


Take it away, guys...

The first three are all great additions. I love the town and these work really well.
The ‘all’ tab does not worry me but I would be happy with the suggested change.
Again the ‘see visitor’ does not worry me as I don’t use it but would not miss it if it vanished.
overall I am happy with it as it is now.

[Raelet]

Yes yes yes and yes please!

The "See Visitor" option is totally unnecessary. Just a way to waste our time and make the game less fun to play.

I would also love a "Sort All" into building option. I still have to serve them, but every now and then I only have a few minutes and these days I just avoid the town in those few minutes.

I remember how simple it was before the overhaul with the sorting by building and time left, instead of characters. Some people actually like the current ALL tab (maybe minus the leaving visitors?), but I would love an ORIGINAL tab that sorts the townies the old way (by buildings and time).

I do agree that the original overhaul was a fantastic idea. It just came out too complicated and clunky. Almost like an avid town user did not actually test it out. It is unfortunate that this requires an update to address since it's been over six months now.

[Gymgirl4a]

The sorting by characters makes it easy when you have atown visitor task and I would not like to see that removed.

[PicayuneAcres]

I'm pretty okay with it the way it is. Although, I've often thought that a button added to the "ready" tab that would "collect all rewards" would be handy.

Agreed on the redundancy. Too many taps, over and over.

As the others said, please remove in the Idle-Tab:
Now: Townhall -> Select Visitor -> Dropdown-Menu (Send away / See Visitor) -> Visitor(Send to Building / Send away)
Fix: Townhall-> Select Visitor-> Visitor(Send to Building / Send away)

Wait wut ?

Personally I wouldn’t want the idle tab to be removed completely. I always use it to sort my idle townies into buildings.
I just think the see visitor click is unessary when they’re in the idle status.

That said it is possible that such is necessary so you can also collect the rewards individually in the ready tab which is useful for the specific town character tasks. I don’t know for sure.

[Lollipop1212]

My opinion might not be popular, but I think the way it works now is fine. It’s not perfect, but I’d much rather see SC spend their time/resources on other things.

No you got it wrong. Jonas basically means getting rid of the drop down after you tap a townie in the tab. Great idea, by the way
