Buff Lists

Nice idea so when can we play??

[Gruntus]

Great idea and well thought through. +1 From me. Would also help to pick up the pace of the game which at times can be painfully slow.

+1 I would start to do buffs again this way!

Pure genius. The best thought-out solution to mass buffing I have come across. The customizable list fits every buffing scenario I can quickly think of facing in the live game. Max size of list to equal max size of buff stack, and if the list is shorter the remainder is left in the Star menu. You should be able to chain them though, in the picture that illustrates the functionality it shows greyed out stacks if they are smaller than the list. If I have stacks of 10, 10 and 8, I should be able to drop all 3 into a friend's 25 list. Then the remaining 3 will once again be left in my star menu.

I also like that the benefits were considered from BB's aspect as well. Less server stress and a well-desired function for available for gems (=income). BB will be a bunch of fools to ignore this.

Did I say +1 already?

If they do then I hope it's not compulsory. I prefer to just tell my buffing partner what I need rather than have to worry about whether Iv'e updated a list in game.

I'm hoping that if BB take this concept on board, they will also consider things like that and tweak the idea into a fully usable feature.

It sure would have helped with that crisis quest, cut down on the lag from many players doing hundreds of friend buffs and might have even helped the quests count every buff rather than lag out and miss some.

If they do then I hope it's not compulsory.

I did not propose this interface to fully replace current buffing protocols, just to add an effective grouping and management facility. It would still be possible to buff buildings individually and even to buff one of the buildings in a defined set (hence the toolmaker in the image shows a current *2 buff and the required buffs total 22 when there are 23 buildings selected).
It should also 'maybe' be possible to click through the selected buildings individually from a list, so you could say 'can you just buff all the fishermen from buff list 1 pls' and a friend could then use the interface to find them.
