[DK-CP] NothingButTheRain Players 6,058 posts 12,082 battles Report post #1 Posted January 23, 2020 This one here: Spoiler The icon that normally indicates there is something waiting for you, usually the recruitment station or a daily crate. But now the PR in the dockyard icon is doing the same thing. And I really liked this icon as it indicated something useful to me. But this here is just annoying as there doesn't appear to be any way to, well, click it away or something. And I sure as hell am not gonna let wargaming annoy me into spending 25k doubloons to purchase this thing. But really, if this is some kind of psychological trick to try and coherse me into spending 25k doubloons for a ship I already decided was not worth it to me by using a port ui component which is usually used for a different purpose (some kind of "good news" conditioning, or whatever), then in my opinion this is really starting to move into pathetic territory. Because I already been in the dockyard and claimed everything that I had waiting for me. or is there some way to disable this here now? Perhaps I missed something? 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[BAD-F] Sir_Grzegorz Beta Tester 733 posts 12,716 battles Report post #8 Posted January 24, 2020 I am on a loss here, as this ship is only regarding a dockyard so it can be misleading? There is no progress in there for quite some time. You just do not go into dockyard because there is no changes in there. How complicated it can be? I should pay more attention to the port GUI, I forgot this ship symbol exist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[--] Captain_Newman Players 2,075 posts 16,264 battles Report post #9 Posted January 24, 2020 I find it annoying too. The animated icon is just there to keep baiting you. WG, I've known I could get the ship for 15k dubs for quite some time now, if I was going to I would have by now. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not trivial though. I agree with OP and came looking here for this kind of topic. You want icons to be useful in the port indicating there is something new there for you. Abusing this useful UI system to keep bugging us about a stupidly overpriced tier X I have no interest in is something worth mentioning. If it would go away after looking there one time to see nothing new has happened fine, but it doesnt. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must admit I got a little excited thinking WG had done the right thing and rewarded everyone with the PR. Then I remember it's WG we're talking about and the only PR they specialise in is the bad variety. I agree with you, it's irritating and misleading. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps I missed something? The only way to disable this icon is to uninstall. And from my experience of reinstalling this game 3-4 times I must praise Wargaming (), it works fast and flawlessly.

Don't get me wrong, I don't fully disagree with you on this seeing how things went ever since the NTC saw the light of day. I choose to not see it in an overly negative way and prefer to see how the current situation can benefit me. BUT! One might go totally view this from the other side and see this (I quote you here) "obvious scumbag part" as just another form of creep (just like powercreep is a form of creep here), as this seems to be creeping into the game for a little while now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 6,186 posts 14,684 battles Report post #19 Posted January 24, 2020 +1 It's a damned nuisance. I would be (relatively) mellow about it if, after the first view of the port, it changed to something that didn't indicate 'newness'. Look WG, my IQ is (barely) above that of a concussed garden snail - permanently having an 'ooo, look new and shiny' icon isn't going to make even me waste money on PR... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[LX] NewHorizons_1 Players 120 posts 15,708 battles Report post #20 Posted January 24, 2020 Agreed, and when another animated icon is indicating something new, pond snails like me will probably ignore it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[KAKE] Uglesett Players 2,729 posts 6,707 battles Report post #21 Posted January 24, 2020 Yeah, this has been getting on my tits as well. It'd be one thing if it went away after you'd clicked it once, but as it is it's just an irritating distracting element in the UI that you can't get rid of. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
