Neighborly Help - Graphic Effect

[Invoker]

Hello,

When doing neighborly help there is a quite annoying graphical effect floating in front of the buttons, please see the attached image. The current effect are blocking the view of the buttons and also when trying to read what the players wants help with (city name text). Could this be changed into some other kind of effect or change the location?

Yes please. Put it adjacent right of the buttons, rather than on top, so they don't get blocked.

 

[Gildentongue]

Yes absolutely this! Put it up at the top of the screen like where you get the floaties for goods and gold.

Excellent suggestion.

 

[Lelanya]

I completely support this

 

[Yavimaya]

I like it!

i like it too.
however, i will point out that the floaty things come from where you click, so if you try to make a point of clicking say the upper right corner of the chosen item, it does help.

I would be really happy if the floaties were cumulative and added when you closed the window, like the deductions for spire negotiating do when you return to the main city view.

edit: although the above would likely not be possible because your inventory could become full by the end of visits, and then where would the coins & supplies go. hmm.

This would not be a problem if they didn't float upward.

While I really like this idea, I think the biggest problem getting them to implement it will be that it will act differently than every other place clicking produces something that floats. That is both a philosophical (consistency of interface) and programming question the devs will have to weight. Still, it's a good idea and would be nice to see implemented. Afterall, it won't happen if we don't ask.

Yes great idea!

Click on the bottom left corner of the help you are giving. This helps them float out of your way.

iv thought this for a long time as well. You kinda learn ways to deal with it. But it would be nice if the graphic was an inch to the right.

I mentioned how much I detested this a few months back, and I was offered the suggestion to watch where I click so that I could see the buttons. Still hate it. I'd rather have a real fix, although I grant you the suggestion was very helpful. But yeah, I love this idea.

Yep, the whole floaty thing is a problem in many places. I'm not sure how many people sit there watching to see that they are getting what they just collected/earned, but it can't be many. Personally, I think it would be better to have the floaters go up the far right side rather than in the middle. And just let them float up from the bottom at the far right side somewhere and forget about having them even float up from where every you just clicked. Nobody, or next to nobody is watching anyway.
