Irritations - there must be a better title?

[Rosejane]

The Forum is full of players reporting serious problems with connectivity, slowness to load, lagging etc & I am sure these are very real for some people.
However, there are many 'minor' problems which don't stop us playing but make playing cumbersome & just generally more difficult than it used to be. It takes the pleasure out of playing for those of us who do not have too many connectivity problems but are still struggling on with a game which was almost a hobby.
These seem to be overlooked by BB. Certainly they are not being corrected in the updates.
I canvassed our Guild & there is a general agreement about the following, very long list:
• Lost Premium & PFB days
• Can’t sort Trade
• Have to scroll to pick up treasure brought back by some of the explorers
• No indication of how many fish/meat left in deposits without maximum zoom
• No indication other than green bar of time remaining to production in Token Mills or Bookbinder tributes
• Silly numbers of days to complete in workshops (not all the time)
• Distorted ugly floating residences
• Upgrade arrows on buildings that are fully upgraded
• Icon indicating goods to pick up from Mayor’s House Collection & Bookbinder when there are none
• Sparkles on buffed workshop not always shown or not for a while
• Kitty Lure & Efficient Traps don’t cover all 4 correctly positioned workshops unless very carefully positioned
• Places to build mines not properly displayed
• Star menu tends to cover workshops you are buffing so has to be moved or closed
• Greyed out buffs can be difficult to identify: e.g. I mistook decomposer for poison in Storm Recovery & 'lost' the adventure
• Resources in Star displayed with generic icon
• Can’t see which players are logged in
• Wheat fields show quantity when built & not more if added to or less if used
• Need to do some arithmetic to work out how many troops you are making: i.e. number of 25s, not number of troops
• Black Vortex shows among adventures in Star, not among buffs
• Selection on Mail not working so battle reports have to be deleted individually
• Cursor missing on Trade Search
• In an adventure, the generals’ menu is often the only one displayed. Player has to logoff & return to get the buff one up
• Because of the delay in response, it is easy to delete messages by mistake
• Mail message hidden behind another (faintly visable) so refresh needed.
• Problems with logging in, freezing, flooded island
• When I finish a quest book task & I click on green icon game freezes & auto-refreshes. Sometimes, just very slow to re-act.
• Slowness of windows to open
• Can’t double click on the search type for explorers making a second & often delayed step to send them out
• Scroll bar jumps too far on Star unless you control it very carefully
• Add deposit changes to regular icon in Trade so add 10 copper deposit looks like 10 copper ore; players use this fault to scam in Trade.
I'm sure other players can add to this list.
SO BB what are you doing? The next Event relies on having lots of players playing .................

I think a public bug tracker would help give direction on what the most critical issues to be fixed are.
It's basically a list like you provided but people can upvote the ones which matter to them the most.

Things like ugly graphics or display bugs should probably take a backseat to issues which have a drastic effect on how the game is played.

For me the ones which should be focused on are:

Click interactions
- Preventing clicking through windows to click what is behind them
- Preventing more than one window being open at a time (ie if you click something with a window open, it should close the old windows)
- Selecting a specialist should select that specialist, not the one you selected 20seconds ago.

Trade
- This just needs to look and function the same as in the old client, don't bother with new features until everything in the client works normally.

Mail
- Same as trade, this needs to function identically to the old client before adjustments to the design are made.

Windows
- Either stuff needs resizing so scrollbars don't appear or the windows themselves should be adjustable to make them bigger so the content fits without scrollbars. Ideally there should not be scrollbars anywhere except for specific cases where there is a large amount of text.
