    SOLUTION! - Too many Explorers

    Simply put, a lot of us have been around for a very long time and I'd take a guess that a majority of the community have many Explorers

    I currently have:

    2x Courageous Explorers
    1x Experienced Explorer
    3x Intrepid Explorer
    7x Lucky Explorers
    13x Savage Scouts
    3x Regular Explorers

    That's 29 letters arriving in my inbox, pretty much every day

    I made a quick mock up of what I mean to help combat the amount of mail hitting an inbox at the same time

    A couple of players agree

    Any thoughts or input?

    It's not that they don't know how to do the UI but what happens when they are accepted at once. From what I recall all of the issues are related to server load because multiple things are happening per accepted mail, ie. quests are checked, achievements are checked, storage capacity/star stacking performed, etc.

    This has been asked at test server forums multiple times and BB has responded to these almost once a year. From all of the answers I've seen and remember they have said it's not happening. Here is one of the replies I quickly found with the quick search https://forum.tsotesting.com/threads...ll=1#post44096

    As Mannerheim said, the Devs have responded to this question in the test forums. They tried a collect all mechanic but found that even in the development environment the amount of lag generated was unacceptable.
    When it comes to Gene pools and shallow ends they can be found at the bar drinking pina colada's

    Too much lag generated really is not a good excuse, that just means the current way the explorers are being handled is poorly implemented. A good example is how buffing used to work versus how it works now, ie you can spam them now rather than using 1, waiting 5 seconds, using 1, waiting 5 seconds etc.
    Can you imagine if they had refused to add the bulk queue to the barracks or the provision house because of "lag created", the game would have died long ago if you still needed to queue troops manually 25 at a time :P

    It's not just opening the mail either, there could do with being a way of bulk sending out explorers too. Anything to reduce excessive clicking without any automated decision making taking over is good in my opinion.

    Also bear in mind that other features have been added that open up alternative options, for example the resource stacking in the star menu is relatively new, with this in the game they could just make it so all resources are added straight to the star menu rather than being mailed, you can still complete quests "acquire x resources" by just using them from the star menu, they do not need to arrive by mail to complete the quest.

    Yes it's poorly implemented and I think they even said it somewhere that so much has changed since the original implementation in the case of multiple features. However the game is nearing it's EOL so they are probably not going to use time on features that take a lot of work and have little gain compared to making new content or improving things that affect majority of the userbase. Queues and resource stacking affected everyone while the explorer issue affects a smaller group of people.

    I also have +30 explorers so I have followed the subject in multiple regional forums and talked about it at test but it just seems a low priority/never happening change.
