Remove Spectator Notice in GW 😖

FuriousMoldovan · April 2022

@Lexia @Fluxxx
For the love of GW Gods! Please remove Spectator Notice from GW for people who don't participate in given battle!

So many people have been asking that for the longest time, and it's not even that complex of a fix!

Just replace "Spectator Notice" with disabled "Start Mission" button for all Spectators - problem solved!
💥💥💥🥳🤠🎊🎉🎊⭐🎉💫🍾🥂🏆

If your devs need code conditionals consideration, there you go:
If (number_of_swords == 0)
{ Start_button.disable; }
Since Spectators always have Zero swords.

This will make life so much easier for all in the guild, especially for GW planners!
Currently Spectators have no way of seeing what type of pvZ is in particular sector due to Spectator Notice after clicking on the mission.

We just need to see the type of mission, that's it! Easy!

Agree with you @FuriousMoldovan 100%. I made a similar suggestion: https://forums.nextgames.com/walkingdead/discussion/49414/suggestion-for-small-improvement-to-spectator-mode-in-guild-war#latest

Not only that, but Spectator mode is buggy. On last Sunday’s war, this was what our guild war coordinator saw as a spectator:

This was the reality and what the participants saw:

Notice our score of 4948 between the two screenshots. Same score but his screen show 3 more missions completed that were in reality not completed yet. Makes it hard to count swords and coordinate attacks when we’re both looking at the same thing but each seeing something different.

@Yikes right, bug you posted is yet another GW bug that they can't seem to fix for a very long time (VERY long time).

But at least give us the ability to view mission types. Have no idea why it's originally restricted in the first place!

Burmeliinis · April 2022

Fully agree!

Shian · April 2022

i have a better code
if ( NG_doesn't_Listen == 1 )
{Next_Update.wont be fix;}

100% in favor of this, I am the planner for my guild and it is very frustrating to have to get active players to go in and tell me what maps are in different sections all the time.

ATLAS-Z · April 2022

I was originally for this, but now I'm not so much.

I like my days off, and if Spectator was removed then I'm lured right back in to try and direct even on days when I'm not playing. My guys are grown up gamers and can handle those days without me.

I mean, sure go for it, but for me... Meh

All of it 💯😖

DocGonzo · April 2022

This is what I asked to see in the game this year when we were asked on the forum.

Help me help my team. Please, and thanks.

FuriousMoldovan · April 2022

It's a simple improvement but will help avoid frustration in GW planning for so many guilds 💯

@Lexia

Please say something about it.
At least make a promise like my ex did!😂

@Lexia it was moved to Suggestions section from General Discussion to decrease visibility of this topic but it doesn't mean that it's any less important.

Now that we're on the break, it's a perfect time to plan for similar improvements.

Can we just change the text in the notification just something like this?

"QUIT MICROMANAGING! ITS NOT YOUR DAY TO BATTLE. SHOOO SHOOOOO! GO ENJOY SOME. SUNSHINE!"

Or we can just remove it altogether to make life easier for GW planners and then go enjoy sunshine with all the time that we saved due to this change

ATLAS-Z · May 2022

Bro, I too would find it useful. But I also like it when my Generals step up cuz I'm not there to babysit. If they fix it, I won't complain. If they leave it, I also won't complain. 🤘

FuriousMoldovan · May 2022

I hear you man but I'm sure in most guilds with organized GW approach you have only 1 planner. In some cases I've heard about 1 planner for 2-3 guilds, which is a crazy commitment but that's beyond the point.

FuriousMoldovan · May 2022

I mean, this Spectator Notice must be one of the most useless, functionless things in NML. Why do we even have it to start with is beyond me.
It literally serves no purpose whatsoever.

Name 1 thing that this notice accomplishes. At least 1 function that it serves. I can't think of any.

I'm curious, maybe you have an answer @Lexia?

FuriousMoldovan · May 2022

Or maybe good old @Fluxxx has an idea, haven't heard from you in a bit

The reason is probably that it's a clear warning that you are not playing today. Maybe they were thinking that there would be lots of players complaining that "ARGH WHY CAN'T I ENTER A MISSION IN GW PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP NG" when they didn't sign up for that particular day.

Obviously the solution is simple to move the warning so that you get the "You are not signed up for today" warning when actually trying to start a mission instead of just opening the mission preview.

ATLAS-Z · May 2022

I think the purpose that this pop-up serves as it prevents people from entering a mission that are not in the war.

I don't think the buttons disappear I think they're just covered up by this pop-up

Edit, meaning if you went the next level in it has the start mission button. Popup prevents people going to this level.

FuriousMoldovan · May 2022

@Burmeliinis @ATLAS-Z
That's what I thought was the purpose of Spectator Notice as well BUT:

1. Start Mission button shouldn't be available anyways since Spectators always have Zero swords. Button is disabled from clicking when you have zero swords (we already have that in place).

2. We already have big red font "Spectator" in the lower left side of GW map for those who don't participate.

3. From GW Planner screen - instead of "To Battle", spectators have "Spectate" button that takes you to GW map. It's the current name I think.

4. And again spectators always have clearly displayed zero swords in the top bar.

↑ all above makes Spector Notice completely redundant and is the reason why I said this notice doesn't serve any single functional purpose whatsoever.
Right @Lexia ?

FuriousMoldovan · May 2022

New season 👍
Outdated Notice 👎😖

Whom do we have to sacrifice to guild war gods to remove it? 😆

@Lexia can we make it happen?

FuriousMoldovan · May 2022

But in all seriousness - how many "Spectator" reminders do we need?

I'm sure these 4 highlighted below are more than enough.
We don't need Spectator Notice pop-up.

_Lily_ · July 2022

I second everything that @FuriousMoldovan said. It would make mine and any leader's job a whole lot easier. Please make it happen.

I myself am a guild war planner. I just want to be able to see what kind of mission it is so I can help people either train up or do a kaw if that’s what they’re looking for. There is certainly no reason why I would attempt to play on a day that I’m not signed up. So it would be helpful to just be able to view the mission types.

And something someone else also suggested which I agree with. If we have the ability to see who completed what pvz mission that would also be helpful or if they accidentally doubled up. Thanks
