Hire friend clock

[The Pale Rider]

In the last upgrade GREE made it so you have to load your friends in chunks, presumably to cut down on server usage (downloading 90 friends pictures often caused delays for me - so I appreciate that change).

The inadvertant problem it created was the location of the essential data on how many friends you've used up and how much time you have left is 9 downloads away (for me). And god forbid I touch one of my friends while dragging the screen to the left 9 times, then I wait for it to add that friend, reclick hire friend, and start from the first screen again (an "add friend" button would solve this). If the goal was cutting down how often I download friend data from the server it backfired. It can take me 3 tries times 9 screen downloads just to check the clock once (of course I relish the chance to check in on Radaghast - who doesn't?).

When you get down to one friend or no friends available the clock is right there on the hire friends screen. PLEASE KEEP IT THERE ALL THE TIME.

It would be fantastic to know immediately that I've used X of 10 friends and the clock resets in X hours right on the screen.

Thanks for listening GREE!

+1 this idea - I find myself searching for this info quite a lot also.

[NickkyDC]

I +1 this. Would be very helpful to know, so I can plan more strategy with the epic boss

[Bride of Eunuchorn]

Having to scroll through the whole list always sucked.

[nachomasterx]

+1 also. This should be at the very top of the friend hire screen

[Tianna]

+1 It would be great to have that information on the first screen you see when hiring a friend.

[Veloster Raptor]

+ 1 million. Do et Gree.

[Paladineguru]

Would be nice to have a pm system for friend requests too.

[Paladineguru]

+1 win win on lag an convenience

[Sol Invictus]

All it would really take is a little banner of text that says "4/10 friends used in the past 24 hours" and/or "3 inactive friends available in 3:26:18"

[D3athShade]

+2 very good idea. Very annoying to scroll to the end of your friend list to check this info.

[KTran2013]

+1!
For a minor, yet someone silly solution, set an alarm that is named 'use friend' 23 hours after you use your first friend so that you know the time. As for the amount.. that's a bit more difficult. You'll want to just remember this... lol.. It sucks because I've once thought that I had 4 friends left and actually only had 3 when I needed all 4.. Oops!

[Dexavus]

Would be a simple thing to implement, +1.

[Lii]

+1 on this idea!

[FlipDaddy]

+1

Also, it would be helpful if the knights that people used were left in place (ranked by level) after being used instead of being moved to the end of the list.

A very reasonable solution to an annoying bit of design. Hopefully Gree will take notice!

Wise One -- Any chance you can get this change in the next upgrade? It's a recurring problem everytime I get the high level boss levels.

Always doing the same. Would also like to see an element filter. Just like in crafting. Some of my strongest friends are lvl 100-110. I got 60 others higher so takes forever scrolling to them.

[Zyntree]

+1

What more is there to say? Great idea. Element filter wouldn't be too bad either, but by far not the priority. Friend clock and # of friends hired always visible please

[Sarn]

Please implement this gree

[Synovia]

Couldn't agree more.

This is a clear problem that should have an easy solution.

Also, can you guys look into caching the friends list? Because having it redownload when you go from adding friend 1 to adding friend 2 is just silly.

[cafedecoy]

agreed! great idea!
