Ideas for Graal iPhone interface/features improvement.

MonkeyNPC · 09-02-2011

Somethings I'd love to see implemented into Graal iPhone someday.

-Friends list viewed by Player's Heads-

I'd much rather be able to view my friends list the way I view a gang's members list.
With little names under their heads. This would make it easier for me personally.
Also a much nicer touch to the friends area, rather than the dull gray bar look...

- Add users to Favorites -
If you're one of those persons who has to accept every friend request you get... You'll desire this feature.
The ability to add a user to your Favorites.

Perhaps clicking a little star on their profile, and they're added to favorites.
This will allow you quick access to them at all times.
Rather than having to search to your overly populated friends list.

- An option for certain members of Guild's / Gang's to have access to guild house -
This option could be added to the area where you can give users permission to "Change Guild News".
But instead be "Access to Guild's House".

This would allow you to give the privileges to certain users you think earn access to your house.
And keep the ones you do not trust... out!

- The ability to rearrange inventory / drop items. -
I think it would be fantastic if we could have a way to rearrange our weapons / items in order of which we user most.
Either that, or have it automatically put the things you have used most frequently at the top.

Also the ability to drop items such as guns / melee weapons / etc.

- Furniture viewed by Images -
I'd love to be able to see my furniture directly.
Rather than now, how when you tap the furniture name, and it shows what the furniture looks like.
There could be an option that fades in / pops up like when you go to buy a hat / gun on graal.
But rather than "buying" you can click "Add / Sell"

Hmmm...for the friends list, how would we be able to tell who's offline? I can only imagine the current friends list working because we need the entire stretch of the iPod/iPhone screen to show whether or not a player is offline, and to display their name.

I love the idea of the friend's list as Monkey described it. To fix the issue you describe Diz, I would have online friends appear at the top. For offline friends, their head could be black&white instead of color, or could be slightly transparent instead of solid.

Have a little icon by their head (green for online red for offline. Like instant messengers.)

Or have offline / online friends separated.

Yeah I agree with that where I has it separated with offline and onlines

I love the favourite thing that would be awesome! Great ideas
Pal!

For the first one, There should be a feature tht allows u to switch to that view, I can't handle that head view from gang member list xD But nice idea.

the gun drop thing is.... Ugh not thaaaat good. Scammers gonna scam.
But i pretty like the ideas

Regretness · 09-02-2011

Sounds good to me, but with the dropping guns and stuff, not so good. The way to fix that is by having that guy in your favorites for 1 month. Then u can drop guns and melee, etc.

Drop-Trading is the #1 way to scam. We would get 20x more "OMG I JUST GOT SCAMMED" PMs than we do now. I think a Trade System would be nice, but I don't feel like getting spammed about "so and so just scammed me out of insertaweaponnamehere! BAN HIM!" from failed drop trades.

MonkeyNPC · 09-02-2011

I just wanna get rid of my damn guns.
I've got 99% of my guns I don't use.
I'd love to be able to sell the, back or drop them....

I mean we're allowed to sell furniture. But guns aren't and they cost about the same price. It's not like people will be any richer.

First suggestion - If more people would want this, then you could have it done, but definitely have it as an OPTION, not as a definite. I would HATE that system. Different systems work differently for different people, though, so it would be a good option.

Second Suggestion - I'd say this would be extra xP You don't have to add everyone, and even though I do it, I remove the people I don't need afterwards :o They won't actually know.

Third Suggestion - I love it! Great suggestion. Some of the people I recruit to my gang are really not people I want in my house, so...

Fourth Suggestion - re-arranging would be nice, but HORRIBLE idea to have drop-able guns/weapons. Those would get scammed so much! And, think about it. If a friend asks you to give you a gun, right now you can say, "No, sorry, not-dropable." But if there is the ability to drop weapons, then it'll be hard to say no. Basically, a bad idea to have those items drop-able.

Fifth suggestion - I'm confused on what you mean by that xP

I don't like the friend list idea, you wouldn't be able to see their full names

U know that approving system for the shields, heads, and bodys. It would help with the trading system especially weapons. And It will detect if the person who is about to trade has any previous history of scamming. The admins can approve or disapprove.

And possibly make a safe or locker thing to put ur stuff and basically make a security system. Only the player who owns the house has access to that storage.

I think that can help

Alex · 09-02-2011

Sell guns, sure! Drop them, no.

Why do you not just ignore newb request to be friends?
