🚨TOWN UI - Petition for Changes

[aspire2013]

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...

If they could allow my to store my pet houses away. I purchased a pet house early on because I didn’t know what was needed etc well I have an empty pet house with no pet. Which is useless, also if I could like sell my purchased decorations I no longer want that would be great. And let me buy deeds through Tom when I purchase him with my diamonds. Other than that, I’m satisfied.

I view the “see visitor” button as “assign visitor”. I am either going to send them to a shop or send them away, but most likely send them to a shop of my choosing

That is how I use it also.

What if Hay Day got rid of the "See Visitor" option solely in the Idle tab (so tapping on the visitor would automatically take you to the townie) and added a sort option -- sort by townie or sort by buildings/time left?

Wouldn't this address just about every issue?

After they fixed the “all” tab so that it is no longer the default, it has made the town more enjoyable. I’m actually happy with it now. As far as sorting the other tabs either by the specific townie or building or time, well, I’m not sure that everyone would be happy if they changed that. And I’m not sure that we could be given an in game choice. There are times when one would be more preferable than the other.

I have changed the manner I do things in the town. I enlarge the town hall so i do not need to move my hand around very much. The taps I need to make to place a townie in a building are not awkward. Just having any UI was better than what we had. Having the improved one is better. Maybe in time the development team can streamline it more, but once again you really cannot please all the people.

I agree with this! Have found enlarging the town hall to be the best way to deal with it.

Sounds about right, yes!

Agreed this would be the best solution but as there don't seem to be as many people troubled by this as I expected I think the best we can hope for its a fixed all tab and perhaps they'll address see visitor because there is still a lot of grumbling about that. They already have the coding for the all tab and it seems it would be something very easy they could implement and I think almost everyone would be satisfied.

Personally I've gotten used to the see visitor tab. It's the constant scrolling to look for one building left visitor and then two building visitors that drives me bonkers. I like to try to fit as many of my townie in buildings as possible at once. If i fill my inn with three building visitors because they were on the top then the ones who only had the inn left sit there. That drives me crazy knowing I could have put the three stops into another building that now sits half empty. The goal is always a completely full town and nobody idle. So....scrolling......or ignoring said town.

That's what I was hoping this update would do. We have asked for the ALL tab to be designed as the old town hall was. As you've already said, we have to do too much scrolling to send townies to their buildings now.

I would like this best. In the menu, they just need to list the shops, and also include "Collect Reward" and "Send Away". It might be a good idea to make the shop buttons a different colour to the other commands, or set them apart in some other way, but I'd still like to have everything right there.

And the main town hall screen can have three sort buttons at the top: a clock to sort by time, a person to sort by townie, and a building to sort by shop. They would be separate to the tabs so you can sort the tab you are looking at however you like.

[nicolaplays]

If we must keep the drop-down menu, at least make this change: when you tap on a visitor in the town hall, automatically scroll the window so that the whole of the drop-down menu can be seen straight away. PLEASE.

gotta love how this forum is suppose to be just english (i think?) and supercell cant seem to understand the simplest of things we say/suggest here.....assuming they actually look.
