Pop-up notifications: clan invitation, friend request, trade
Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2014 4:15 pm
Clan invitation, friend request and trading items bring up pop-up notifications, which might interfere with whatever action the recipent player is just doing. Thus, these features can be abused, especially during combat.
I suggest to replace these windows with only short on-screen system messages similarly to those we see e.g. upon leveling up. An additional UI icon can then be added that lists the pending interactions similarly to the quest list icon. Maybe this icon can be grey/hidden by default and highlighted/appear only when the player has pending interactions. A counter number, similarly to pots would also be great (for the quest list icon too!).
Also, a setting for automatic rejection of clan invitations would be great. Most players change clan less often than underwear, thus, these invitations are just annoying/distracting most of the time. The player can switch off this automatic rejection any time, when they actually would like to enter a clan, and switch on again afterwards.
