Reduce amount of Achievement Banners and Notifications

Post by Silene »

I'm getting way too much notifications and banners.

I feel like I'm getting 1-3 banners on every other game. You might say "this will stop, you only get them a couple of times when you played the game the first few times". Well - yeah, that's true. But if you play a range of different games and keep learning new games, play that a couple of times and then learn the next game, then no, it doesn't stop. And it's incredibly annoying.

So my suggestion is: Either make it possible to switch them off completely, or show only those that feel like "real achievements". Like entering top 10 or becoming Master or have a winning streak of 10 (3 or 5 is really not interesting). Or let players chose what banners they want. Maybe let them set a threshold of amount of XP gained by the achievement. Chances are I might feel like a achieved something on those that gain me like 50 or 100 XP or more. But really not on those for the first few plays or wins in the games.

Notifications are also way too many. When that red "!" lights up, I'd like to find relevant information there - like someone responded to something i wrote in a group, or that someone added me as a friend. But interesting information is totally hidden in a wall of various not-interesting achievements (there again!), finished TB-tables and such.

Yep. When there are too many achievements they lose all significance, and a real accomplishment worth celebrating is just lost in the noise.

Every arena game will also end with an 'arena banner' of the arena score changes.

I think, if any changes are necessary here, it would be to allow the user to turn off the banner notifications.

I personally really enjoy getting all the achievements for playing new games, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I wish the arena score changes was just incorporated into the end game results as opposed to a popup banner. It's useful information, but it really doesn't need to be shown as a banner after every game.

Completely agree with you, I also like seeing the achievements for playing new games but can completely understand why some might want to disable the banners/reduce the amount of times it is shown.

I think for new members of BGA it might be a nice welcome and give you some community feeling to get some notifications. Personally I don't care for all the XP and could easily do without, so I agree on allowing the user to turn off the banner notifications.

But for winning a game the first time you even get two notifications: one for gift points and one for XP and gift points. Those "second" gift points don't add up, so it can be misunderstood. Shouldn't this be considered a bug?
