Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would really like if the notification was marked as "read" when you clicked the notification right after it pops up, rather than only if you click the thing to view the notifications.

I'd also like the ability to mark some notifications as "I want this to pop up and be in my history, but I don't want it to count as an unread notification" particularly contact notifications, which I consider "read" as soon as they pop up. I want them to pop up and to appear in history, but I don't want them ever to be considered "unread."

I have some small request related to "Mission Offer Expired", could this notification contain information about how many standing did I had to agent, and how many I have after standing drop?
Thx.

Yes, as some people already mentioned, it would be good to see the standings in the Contacts coming Online/Offline notification, just like it does with the old notification.

In general, all the information that previous notification systems provide should be available in the new system. Like - the things that each notification of the old system show, should be seen in the new system. Moreover, when needed and if possible, there should always be more detailed info in these notifications, but of course, not too much.

Other than that, the feature has been doing a real good job so far.

Not sure if someone already mentioned it but please add the user's label from contacts to the log in/out notification, was very useful on old notifications.

Some quick thoughts after having played with it for a few days (no, I haven't fully read the thread yet, I will tomorrow):
- The mechanism to move the icon around needs to have a more obvious or simple alternative than clicking and holding on the icon. The other notification systems (damage, system messages) have options through the log window's settings pane, why isn't the option visible there (edit: 'there' being the notification settings window) or by right-clicking on the icon?
- Loading the client after character selection seems to take longer when these notifications are enabled on that char/account/client.
- It's probably not necessary to load four years' worth of notifications every time the history is opened. There should be a setting that lets us decide how many days back we want to load by default - if we want to see more we can either scroll down to load more, or change that setting.
- A similar setting for each notification type to set how long those notifications would be cached or kept visible in the history would be handy, especially for the pair of "Watched Contact" notifications in particular. I like being able to see these events in the notification history so I can know at a glance if someone I was waiting for logged on or if I missed someone while I went to go get a drink or something, but odds are I don't need to have more than the last two or three days' worth of that data visible in the history. I can see a few cases where more than that would be useful, of course, but for those of us with a lot of watched contacts that stuff can get spammier than Jita local pretty damn quick.

I like the new notification feature some but can you change the color? Anything red on my screen means bad. Maybe green? Yellow?

I like it quite a lot.

Currently notifications are still redundant in the email window. That is a tiny bit annoying.
But, especially seeing the two systems side by side, I like the new on much better .

Being able to dock it in the sidebar would be awesome, perhaps even above the clock if the idea it to have distinct from other icons.

Not sure if this was brought up yet but a really important feature for me is missing now.

When people on my watchlist log in and I hover my cursor over the notification it doesn't show me the assigned labels anymore. I'm relying heavily on that feature.

EDIT: Never mind, literally two posts up ...

I like the new notifications a lot! The amount of customization I can do on it is perfect.


This would make it more perfect
