User Control of Notifications

Pursuant to the useful community discussion taking place here.

Please give us some control over notifications:

We don't need to see the same excessively long butterfly-milking screed a gazillion times!
We don't need notification of every cubimal race done by somebody on other part of the street!
We don't need to know the names of all 200 glitches doing the Halloween candy exchange!

How about giving us the option to have some (or maybe all non-God) notifications appear in Local Chat, rather than on the game screen?

The current system can make the screen essentially unusable in some circumstances, and a lot of the information in UNACTIONABLE, and therefor not helpful taking up game screen real estate. A huge pile-up of notifications can, apparently, also cause some people's systems to lag to the point where they have to reload.

Please, TS, rethink the in-game notification system!

  • +1 to this request. These notifications can be very annoying especially when the butterfly you want to milk is hidden behind the notice telling you all about the one you last milked! I can see where they are useful to new players but the option to turn them off would be extremely welcome to me at least.

  • Definitely, definitely. Notifications are really only necessary to a certain point. Past that point the player should be able to customize their gameplay to that extent. Simply turning them off.

    Edit for anecdote :) : I often find myself milking and massaging butterflies as the mood boost is significant and the milk is decent cash with AK VII. The messages in black will often fill up the ENTIRE screen with paragraph long notifications about how I milked a butterfly. 

    I believe that, now that I can do so many so quickly, I've probably figured out what is occurring with the whole butterfly thing. :P

  • Maybe have the butterfly message change to one line saying you milk them after gaining AK2 or after a milking badge is awarded?

    Another thing that would be nice is to not HAVE to see every ones name as they join or leave a group chat. Being in some of the larger groups like New Street there's a stream of names coming and going that pushes the chat up the screen pretty quick.

    Long messages for people level 5 or under would be ok, but after about that point they get pointless.  i know i'm milking butterflies, so fast i can't even see them for the messages filling my screen!  let me be!
