With all of the criticism that SG is copping over their recent attempts to adjust the game, whether it’s balancing heroes or taking 2+ years to release a White Elephant Academy, I feel that there’s an easy way for them to win back the player base.
Namely, more pop-ups in the game.
ATM we barely have 4-5 pop-ups every time we log in and then sporadically there are another 4-5 while we are navigating to various parts of our base.
This is nowhere enough!
Having many more not only keeps us better informed, but it’s the most effective QoL improvement that can be made.
I’ll get the ball rolling with suggestions. First, the obvious ones:
Pop-ups that flag:
Hams are ready to collect
Ditto for iron
Silver summons available
Ditto for EHT and ETT
Recruits available
Ditto for training camp heroes (separate ones for each TC)
Mystic vision ready to play
Titan hits available
Ditto for War
Titan approaching / Ditto for AW
Titan about to escape
AW about to end
Crafting items ready for collection
Ditto for HL
Alchemy Lab - scratch that, no-one is using it
Building complete (separate ones for each builder)
VIP pass expiring / at least 15 days out, twice per day
I’m sure I’ve missed many obvious ones, but moving onto the less obvious, but still highly desirable:
Titan countdown - after one is defeated, there should be notifications every 15 minutes telling us how long until the next one is appearing
Ditto for AW
Ditto ditto for events / tourneys / PoV / ToL
Ducks about to fly over base
Ditto for dragon
Villager is lonely and needs to be tapped
Every milestone approaching - raid amounts, titans defeated etc. Twice a day is sufficient
Progress on all leaderboards - up and down
Count on days / hours that a hero has spent waiting for AM - 3/60 and 3/70 - twice daily
Progressive count - up & down - on all ascension materials
Ditto crafting materials
Ditto ditto Battle items
Amount of WE, Raid, Titan flasks available
Ditto gems, coins etc
Amounts of food and iron available - up and down
Ditto for recruits
Historic comparisons - comparing achievements to those from yesterday, last week, year
Ditto for each date (e.g. “On June 15, 2019, you achieved the following…”)
Finally, while all of the above are important, and would put my mind at ease, there’s one that’s an absolute must:
Pop-ups telling us when every pop-up is about to appear
Not including more pop-ups in game could well be SG’s greatest lost opportunity.
I’m sure I’ve missed many. Please help your fellow players improve their enjoyment of the game by suggesting more.
I think that SGG is sneaky by adding more and more pop-ups that sometimes pop up with a slight delay. Once I logged in to my account, I started collecting hams from my farms and then out of nowhere a pop-up with a double offer for ascensions materials appeared. I tapped both buttons with prices… thankfully we have to double confirm purchases…
I agree with all of these! My gameplay would be improved tenfold if these popups were implemented.
However, I think they could be even better! For example:
After this popup, another appears, saying “Are you sure you wish to murder the innocent ducks?” Below the text is a picture of surviving ducks, weeping around the graves of those you plan to slay.
Every time this appears, a picture of your hero shold accompany it, looking sad. If a month goes by without you ascending your hero, they switch to crying. “Don’t you love me? I fight for you and you still leave me at 3/60, 2/60, 3/70”.
It means a pop up will appear daily to all players who are not in an alliance, encouraging them to join one.
What a QoL improvement to players that decided to not be an alliance to take pressure from them and be more relaxed about the game. Not.
As if the permanent icon at the menu bar wasn’t reminder enough and making it impossible to not know how to find an alliance. Don’t think a daily pop up will change any players opinion… but maybe their opinion whether they are willing to keep playing at all. It’s pure spam.
