So I'm loving this event, and am constantly getting into that ol' arena to duke it out- but after enough battles, it's becoming rather apparent that the system is set to... Well, spam you.

Every time you enter a tournament, you receive a DM which not only takes up space in the inbox (especially when you have 15+ of them, for instance), but becomes rather irritating during site navigation, since you can only dismiss it by going to your inbox. This should be a banner, or announcement, as all we need is a temporary reminder which can, most importantly, be dismissed (similarly to the Rollover Reward notice, for instance). And not clog up our DMs with unnecessary spam.

Touching on that: Challenge DMs. It's one thing to receive them when you're online and active, but they remain in your notifications even if you're away. Again, a simple banner or minor notification would suffice, but they should have some sort of expiry time, where after say, 20 minutes, it auto-deletes. There's no reason for this spam, really, as all it does is tell people something happened that a) ultimately has no effect on them and b) may have happened hours before, and thus they can't do anything about it anyway.

Other than these matters of quality of play/convenience, the event is going amazingly so far, and much love to the devs for all your work!



This suggestion has 676 supports and 12 NO supports.

idk if this is mentioned but a notif when you're allowed to enter tournaments again would be sweet too I sometimes forget to check on the hour and end up setting an alarm XD (shhh unhealthy I know)

That's a good idea too! Honestly, I find there are several things that should tell you when you can do something again, but in the meantime I'd recommend starting a suggestion thread for the arena specifically!

GOD Im' glad Im not the only one who's annoyed by this. it's such terrible game design and so obnoxious. Especially when you consider that you could just get a simple notification (like the challenge one) and get taken to the tournament results in one click.

I actually managed to overlook some important trade responses i had gotten bc at this point i was so annoyed by the constant pms that i just opened my messages to get rid of the notification... oof

Yeah, same. It's getting ridiculous at this point.

Okay... So... I always hated this event (because I always ended up in the ?????+ tier) and now it's spamming me when I do bother to roll and participate so I actually hate it more now despite the attempts to fix it.

I've had some folks say they've missed my stud requests since this event started, and now i'm wondering if it's getting buried in the event notifications

I agree, streamlining the notifications for the event would be much easier to keep track of!

Does anyone look at every tournament result anyway?
I'm pretty sure we don't need notifications for tournament and challenge results.

I like to look at every tournament result, but Iā€™d rather have a banner or something over the DMs

I'm honestly surprised they haven't noticed that it's an issue, at this point

Pretty sure they're aware, just its coming to a close for this month so by this point it should've been taken into consideration. Maybe by next year it will be different. (:
