Buff Lists

[Nimurian]

Great idea Tripi!
Perhaps even better if the one to whom the buffs are going, could edit his/her list. This would make chance implementations a lot faster (the one sending the buffs doesn't need to worry about the changes at all).
Perhaps it would also be nice to have a timer associated with this - so that we know when the buffs are required to be applied?
well spotted buddy!
Thanks!

I believe this was the idea all along. Either way it would be an excellent improvement to the current buff swap hassle, let's hope Tripi's idea gets forwarded to development!

Oh my... this would save some of my hassle with buffing guild mates and others buffing me 150 times...

Am all for this to be included... Is BB listening?

Yes.
Basically each person could manage his own buff list(s), adding or removing buildings from it whenever he/she wants. If they wanted, they could tweak the listed buildings just prior to inviting a friend over to buff (so the friend buffed only the buildings they wanted). The visitor would not be able to change the listed buildings, only the owner would.
A visitor would just visit, open the buff lists for that island, select the one they were asked to do and then one-click buff the lot.


Once again everyone, thanks for the +1's and other comments

[stefanceltare]

Some BB staff should read this thread please... any feedback from them would be nice. Is it feasible, doable?

+1 very nice idea, i was about to suggest marking your buildings for easier buff swapping communication, but this is much better

I agree. Marking your buildings or picking them to a list would basically take the same amount of effort. However, from the buffer's perspective a list removes the need to look for the buildings (even with marks on them it still requires roaming over the island) and avoids any chance of a misclick. I'm not a technical person myself but the OP has also stated that applying lists would diminish server load, which would be a very positive 'side effect'. I don't do blocks in the mornings and evenings during the high peaks of buff swaps anymore because of the overwhelming increase of lag during that time. For many casual players, games are an evening pastime so their gaming experience is consistently crippled by lag from buffs.
