The ability to turn off notifications
2 Posts	Link to post - Posted March 10th 2016 at 11:56 AM DarcDragn I am loving the game so far. It is refreshing to play an idler where formation matters and can change based on acquired gear. Still learning the finer points of the game I don't have much in the way of technical suggestions/constructive criticisms. However, I would appreciate the ability to turn off notifications. I know when I get a new chest usually, and even when I don't know, I would like the ability to turn off the notification over the tab that says there is something new for me to look at. Also, separately, I would like to turn off the "you unlocked this new crusader" notification. After the first time or two through the game, I know what I am looking for. It is just a "nice to have" thing. Thanks in advance for your consideration. -Darc

Also, if you have any menu open when you kill a boss, the chest notification doesn't happen, and it's instantly picked up. That said, I would still love to turn off notifications or at least have a place to click to get rid of the stars on the crusader tab. Having to go through all the crusaders (especially when some are hidden under their alts) to find who got the EP is really annoying, especially if you have to actually switch them out and you're using someone else in that bench slot.

But I also don't like the stars on everything. I saw a post about notifications further down. Hopefully one of these will be seen by Devs and it will go in the bucket for when they can get to "nice to haves" versus actual game fixes since this is in Beta and I am sure most of the time is spent on bugs.

Amicus in Bushwhacker2 is still 'beta' after something like 2.5 years

It takes a significant amount of time and you don't progress while doing it. Also, I have no clue what you're talking about re: chest trick. Any open menu during a chest drop will make it just put a little box in the top right corner saying +1 silver chest (or JC) and move on, no stupid 20 seconds of pointless broken animations, which count against buff and ability time btw

The point isn't really that it takes too long though, the point is that any amount of time is too long to get rid of stupid notifications. I'd also love to get rid of the button you have to click to make the game start loading, though there might be an actual reason we need that. Basically, I don't want to deal with annoying pauses and animations and such that do nothing but take away from the game. Think about how much time you've spent on picking up chests. It may not seem like a lot each time, but at say, 5 seconds per chest (which I think might be low) times my >4500 silver chests, that means I've spent over 6 hours and 15 minutes just picking up chests.
