Career Change Times
Posted by Mat on 4 Jul 2016, 11:24 pm
Greetings villagers, we have changed the Career Change cooldown to two hours. This means you can now switch your villager's career every two hours, specifically at :00 on even-numbered hours. If you don't know how to change your career, please navigate to your villager's profile and click on Careers (View All).
Also, please follow us on Twitter - we tweet small updates to the game there, especially QOL changes!
Is it possible to get more weapons for warriors aside from a fang club?
I don't know if this is mentioned in this thread (it's hard to check), but is there a way to make the 'Abandon Villager' button less prominent on the villager page, or, like, move it to the bottom or something? I am worried I'm gonna click it whenever I'm on the page, even if I'm not even clicking in the vicinity. I know having it with the other buttons is nice (and easier coding-wise), and you probably have a confirm, but it's right up there with the 'change career' and 'make active' buttonl. Or like have a toggle so that you can say 'turn off abandon' button in the settings, so I can just hide 'em?
Arioch1530 Junion I think Junion's suggestion makes more sense - it would certainly be helpful to know when a career is 'done' and while a timer would take up a lot of room and possibly even add to lag with the herbalist cycling through different timers. A small notification - next to the villager on the sidebar, perhaps - would definitely help keep track of the careers of multiple villagers!
I agree with Hammercorn about being able to switch Villages (though there should be a limit so people would be less likely to abuse it and ruin it for everyone else).
Howl
I've considered similar. Instead of a timer, I think each badge just needs some kind of notifier when something "can" be done there.
Doctor completed, or not currently working on a cure? Notification.
Explorer has explores left (and you arn't out of them on account overall) notification.
Blacksmith has no jobs going on right now? Notification.
Herbalist has empty or completed pots? Lil notification.
Not actual notifications to your account..but just some thing on the badge that shows 'hey you got something here to do'
Howl It would be incredibly useful even if it just gave the timer that was next up. So if my herbalist had something up in 20 minutes and something up in an hour, just displaying the 20 minute timer.
@Arinoch1530 If such a feature were to be considered, it would have to be specific to careers that only do one thing at a time, like doctors, construction workers, blacksmiths and the like. For something like, say, herbalist, the sheer amount of timers from multiple pots would make it impossible, haha.
I'm with Hammercorn
Quick idea that doesn't involve doctors and illness... can we get cooldown timers visible in the All Villagers list on the right side? That would mean a lot less clicking around if I could just refresh one page and see who needs attention for their careers.
While everyone complains about disease and "unsanitary work area" I just want to switch villages
