View Full Version : The Icon for Aunt Irma's Feast Needs to be Changed for Increased Readability

It seems like someone had a little brain fart in the office when they designed a star menu icon with a white background. Reading the number of buffs left in a stack is highly annoying with the little white cloud background.

It seems like someone had a (MAJOR) brain fart....
Fixed that for you, otherwise I think the worst part of this problem comes from people trading them in the TO. "Caveat Emptor" doesn't really hold true if it's impossible to tell the difference between, say, a '25' and a '23' because difference in the upper half of those numerals is concealed by the ill-conceived 'fluffy cloud'.

It's obviously a pile of snow. Should melt in the spring...

Don't get us wrong we do indeed REALLY love the buff it is just that we also want to see how many is left in the stack :)

I agree with the others - great buff, will be much used - but would be really good if we could see how large a stack is - especially when receiving stacks from other people (either buying or to be placed).

I didn't search if somebody already mentioned it, but it would be really nice if BB could change Aunt Irma's feast picture after Christmas event. Because of the snow (white colour beneath the basket) it' almost impossible to read how much baskets are there. For example, try to differ numbers 23 and 25. I can't :)

+1 Either change the buff icon or add black/dark background box around the number for all stack types. Just the same kind would do that you have now at the cursor when you are using the buff. Then it wouldn't matter what kind of icon you have :)

+40 YESSSSSSS I hate this it is a nightmare


could they have not changed the colour alltogether and called it something different rather than Aunt Irmas Feasts ? it is too much like the baskets.

Yes please, change the text color or the background snow - I have to click on the buff and drag it over the map to be sure how many are there (or set up a trade and cancel it and other similar tricks). It can be dealt with but it seems like this would be an easy change to make.

changing chat colors took almost 2 years so good luck with that.

Hi,

It would be nice if the aunt irma feast icon would be slightly revised because it's a little hard to read the count in the star menu (because numbers are white and so is the cloud graphic), see attachment.

Thanks,
Fang

This has been posted somewhere else also, but I'll agree here like I did in the other post.
It does make it difficult especially for numbers like 6, 8, etc. And 5 can easily be read as a 3. I wouldn't put this on a "I can't play with things this way" list, but it is annoying and I would think a simple change.

Agreed as well. It's extremely hard to read the numbers on this item to know how many you have left, or even how many are on offer in TO.

That kinda thing happens when ux testing has to be descoped due to lack of capacity.

This has been reported. No ETA on a fix but we are aware it is difficult to read the number and inserted in our database.

Hi,

I really like the new 24 hour buff (Irma feast), but only have one problem: It is very hard to see how many baskets/feasts that is contained in an icon. I would really appreciate that the numerical bacame an easier to see color than white.

Another note: Since there is a number of buffs that is stacked, would it be possible to set the stack with the smallest number in front ?? That way it is not nescessary to look for a stack of baskets with a smaller number than 25..

Why are the number of feasts coloured white on white?
Getting on a bit & find the numbers hard to read.
Guess I am not the only one, dont have any problem with the irmas.
Was the colour selected to be trendy?, certainly not for clarity!
