Tower list

[Twilice]

The tower list on the builder goes so fast. It goes really fast as you can't se a thing.

I mostly just read the names of the towers and then go F9 or do it a second time if it is necessary, which isnt happening often.

I think increasing the time you have the tower list on the screen is a bad idea. Normally you are under preassure when you click Tower query, if the text stays longer it would bother me more then anything else.

If it is too fast and you think about increasing the text durance then I would highly suggest to make the Duals and the Triples in 2 separated lists, one Dual-Query and one Triple Query. Both can stay then a bit longer and the information would be more specialised.

I mostly am just interested is knowing the triples anyway, duals are just too easy to remember.

......... no you miss the point.

Pressing F 9 will not help anything, Ex I got water, earth, nature, light.

And I want to check all duals and triples quick that I can build.

If I press F 9 in multiplayer = dead take years to look at all earth water nature light towers.

Have you tried the tower query? It's supposed to give help to see what you can build just right now, but if it goes to fast you can't read you don't press F9.

(ironic angry meaning: wy don't we just add the text check F9 for ALL towers instead.)

Uh...I can read it just fine. Most of the time you can remember all the duals, so you don't need to pay attention to those except a couple specific ones. With 4 elements you've only got 4 triples to read, which isn't that bad. I don't know where your problem is coming in, really, there isn't that much info in the tower query.

[0rb3r]

I don't.

When do I use Tower query?

In most cases i remember my elements and thus my duals, as they are pretty easy to remember. I want to know which triples I can build. When I click tower query I only memorize the names of the triple towers, nothing else, I repeat, only the names.

If there is one i'm interested in, and dont remember the elements its made of, or I click again tq or I go F9.

In some cases I get a bit lost but in those cases I watch top right part of my area and watch which elements i got first before I do anything else.

Now let's say you or any other player is unable to remember his duals and what they do, or what triples do.

In case 1, "don't remember my duals", you would do the same then I do with triples.

In case 2, "don't got a plan what towers do", even if you triple the time the text stays you wouldn't be able to read all details, then your adress is F9.

Now what I am suggesting is that, If you are unable to read the names with the actual text speed (which could happen to anybody else as well), instead of simply incresing the time the text stays (which would bother in certain situations), we should cut the list in 2 parts, one dual-query and one triple-query, with the text staying double of the time. As the list is shorter now, the time your screen is texted should be about the same and you have more time to read as well. Everybody happy.

maybe a bit offtopic but the tower list ending with a hint of f9 like:

"...

EFN-Quaker

EFL-Gold

ENL-Enchantment

FNL-Nova

Check F9 for more detailed descriptions"

[Twilice]

Could be a great idea, but as they don't want the text to last long, adding that would give many complains. (not from me)

I don't understand wy you dislike being a longer lasting text, if you don't even uses it it would botter you. And for me who uses it should know if it's bottering, don't I got a point?

the tower query is more for experienced or at least players who have played some games to recall a certain tower. probably more like "what's hydro's elements and can i build it". you should already know what you want and just be looking out for it. but i do want a dual-query and a triple-query. i find that sometimes i have to wait too long for the triples to appear, most of the time in random games where i can't remember a certain triple and need to know the elements.

[Twilice]

I get your point, but I almost always go random and there is pretty hard to play your towers without tower query (for me there is) I know just about what everytower do but I mess the builds upp.

[holepercent]

i always press tq at the start of random short mode because i can never remember the towers.. that saying, i should make it a point to memorise the towers well to avoid messing up..

but doesn't it get quite difficut to read after getting 5 or all 6 elements? especially when you can't decide what to build. 4-element build shouldn't be too difficult with 6 duals/4 triples.
