New Street Load Screen Opinion Thread

Plain. Too plain.

I liked knowing what resources were on a given street without having to explore. I especially liked seeing the last time that I visited.

When we have our sweet new house designs, shouldn't it be all up it your face and whatnot? I mean, my face is pretty. It's damn pretty. But a street view with my prettiness on it would be much better.

I suppose that this could be irrelevant given some paradigm shift of which I'm unaware. Otherwise...I needs me more infos.

  • I love it. I think it's really pretty. :D Only thing that's bad is the no street resource info.

  • I miss the information as well xP

  • Yeah I don't like losing my ability to see what's on a street when I visit it. If i'm going through streets just to nibble pigs, I shouldn't have to run across every single street just to figure out how many, if any, there are to nibble. I don't wanna run across entire streets and find out they had no pigs at all.

    The new loading screen is pretty but I would rather have functional information.

  • Agreed -- the resource information is important. I hope it's only gone temporarily.

  • I am suspecting this is something that will work correctly (more like the old info) once the update happens. However, maybe we wont be able to have trees (ie. fruit, spice, wood) on the new strees (my dream), or animals.

    I guess we will have to wait and see.

  • But it doesn't display what's on the street. And it's not fun how you can't see when was the last time you went there, And you can't see how it looks.

  • I know AC. Again, just wait for the update. We have no clue what is going to happen... Probably just a place holder.

  • I really like seeing the characters front and center on the loading page- I notice them more!!!  Totally keep that feature.  However, I do miss the information on that page, please bring it back.  If not, I'm okay with Glitchen gettin' the attention when I visit their home street, my main motivation when I'm strolling is just to find other folks and see whats good.

  • I like the new screens, though I'd like the times I'd been there and the resource information back, perhaps on the side or something.

  • I think a blend of the earlier version with this new one would be nice. This new one does a good job of emphasizing that it's someone's home street, not just a random public street. I am mostly looking at this change as a harbinger of new things coming soon -- sort of a heads up.

  • Oh! I really love to see our avis on it and that has to stick around cause it's adorable but I do miss the resources information! This is really useful and definitely should put back on it!

  • I will say, it is a bit more aggressive about the "YOUR street" angle.

  • WalruZ - indeed.  I wonder if there is a message here from the devs about the whole public/private debate.  Or we're just reading way to far into it XD

  • When you usually move to a new street, you get a screenshot of the the whole street or a part of it; as we are moving to a system that allows us to change the look and feel of that street, generating those snapshots of the street on the fly may be too intensive to create.  

    There is also the possibility that TS is trying to highlight the "looks" of the players more get us to use some more wardrobe choices.  

    I'm certain that the AWESOME TS team is hearing the comments from the crowds and will address the concerns of the masses.  If I had to guess I'd say they will probably move to a hybrid, where they show a picture of our glitch and a list of resources on our street...  (or I could be waaaayyy off)

  • I haven't seen it but if they removed the resource information, I'd be rather upset.  I hope they did not do this but it sounds like it is what they did.  :<

  • I love it.  And I think there will be more to it later.  Yeah to the devs. :)

  • Love - seeing a picture of the Glitch whose street I'm visiting.

    Not Love - no list of resources on street.

  • It's not final.

  • Will it perhaps be more graphical in describing the street's resources? I think it'd look cool with little icons, maybe in an arc above or below the central figure.

  • Thank you stoot. I thought it was a place holder ;)

  • I don't seem to have a new street load screen.

    Is it gone already?

  • I freaked out coz I thought that R2 had been installed and was so disappointed when it wasn't installed. I think the home street thing is OKAY. Isn't the best but it is okay.

  • I like the simple look of the new screen & the seemingly emphasis on it been 'MY' street (more private less public)!

    However ... I do miss the information of visits/resources...

  • "It's [redacted] final."  - Stoot Barfield

    OMG! Bad design! Riot in the streets! And don't look at loading screens while you riot or you'll end up rioting even harder. You might pull a hammy. Be careful.

  • If I had a guess? When we get to design our own streets, that design will be reflected in the new loading screen.

  • Lol, Stoot!  You know how change cause reactions.  Maybe each new change or temporary change should come with a disclaimer:  "Don't Panic Yet!  This is just a Test!"
    Posted 8 months ago by Brib Annie Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Stoot could hand out little glitchen towels to calm the masses. :)
    Posted 8 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think stoot should just throw tomatoes at us all. Or pies. Mmm.. pies.
    Posted 8 months ago by Little Miss Giggles Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Jelly Donuts!!! :)
    Posted 8 months ago by Tibbi Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Mmm cherry hand pies... =^_^=

    :: hands around pies, tomatoes, tomato pies, and jelly donuts to stoot and his crew ::

  • We do need an easy way to determine what resources our houses and yards (front and back) contain. I find seeing a resource summary on entry is very helpful, and would very much like to have that back.
