Turn off Objective Pop Ups

DrZola

Objective tab is constantly glowing and also displays a red number (usually) when there’s something new or something to claim.

So can the team eliminate the objective pop ups that clog the interface? It’s annoying, superfluous and it probably sucks up some little bit of memory somewhere that could be better utilized. It’s been years since anyone said “hey, I really love me some pop-ups onscreen!”

Remove the daily and weekly objectives and consolidate the rewards into the 22hr events or something like that please and thank you.

I wish the guy (or gal) who loves pop-ups would have the guts to come out and say it loud and proud.

It's probably a response to people not claiming objectives and wondering why they missed a day.

Agree that they are annoying, particularly when a popup, pops up, AFTER I've already claimed it, such as BG objectives.

The BG objectives tho... Totally bugged. You win and even after you claim it, if you change the section you are it just pops up out of nowhere

I think the bottom line here is objectives have issues. Sometimes you have to claim them sometimes it’s automatic. Sometimes you have to claim one before you can continue the missions other times you crank through. Popups for bgs are totally messed. Clearly a little consistency is warranted.

I don't mind them. They are not as annoying as the game center achievement pop ups.

As an alternative, make the "claim now" button in the popup actually claim the rewards. Right now it just opens the objective screen

It's funny you mention this. Yesterday I was complaining to myself about how inconsistent the popups are. Sometimes you get a popup – 1/4 complete, 2/4 complete – sometimes nothing. If you are going to do something do it consistently!!! When I was a software tester and UI/UX lead this was one of my pet peeves with devs. "If you're going to do something in one area of the app, why can't you do it the same in all areas? Why do you have to constantly confuse or piss off users by doing the same thing differently everywhere?!"

In this case I think it's because all pop-ups happen in the same spot and once we leave a fight the server gets info so if we do multiple things for objectives in the same fight it's trying to to dump all of that information on us at the same time causing the ui to glitch out

It seems to me like they aren't using a common library for this. You'd think there would be a single class that could be used everywhere to implement popups. Look around and you'll see more inconsistencies like this.

For example, in the Crystals tab. When you claim Arena Crystals, if you tap get now the "Add More" button is always enabled. When you don't have enough to add more it should be disabled. But, you get a pop saying "Insufficient Funds." When you go to open shards or solo crystals, the "Add More" button is disabled when you don't have enough to add more.
