Reduce amount of Achievement Banners and Notifications
Posted: 23 August 2021, 14:29
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.
