I'm sorry but I have to be brutally honest....I personally think it's quite disheartening & disappointing that Pixel asks Players for questions, suggestions, feedback, opinions & criticisms in relation to this new Teams Feature.
However then subsequently....we as Players have had no updates or responses in relation to the Teams Features from Pixel since Jan.Z post on 18th May (not that anyone can reply to or tag Jan.Z).
We all appreciate & understand that Pixel representatives are extremely busy & under the pump....perhaps it's time to employ some extra staff to handle the ever increasing work loads?.....so that Pixel could have a much more regular & consistent presence in this Forum.
Conversely if there is anything that us champions or mods could do to assist Pixel representatives to lighten the load.....perhaps we could help?
Reality is that Teams Features started slowing rolling out on 14th May......it is now 24th June.....in which 41 days have since passed.
In essence the idea of the Teams Features is a great addition to Diggys Adventure to enable Players to access in-game friends without Facebook.
However there are lot of areas that really urgently need addressing & in hindsight really these issues should of been ironed out before rolling it out to the Players.
Unfortunately I fear that this thread now has that many posts that the shear volume will be an arduous mountain to climb by the Pixel representatives to be able to drill down to what is actually constructive information about what needs attention in the Teams Features.
I did suggest to @ROMI & @SlankaPixel in the Players Champions chat that maybe it would of been a good idea to start a NEW "Players Suggestions & Feedback on Teams Features" forum thread....that is kept neat, clean, uncluttered & ON-TOPIC.
However....unfortunately as there has been no response from ROMI or Slanka.....I will simply post my feedback, suggestions, opinions, thoughts & constructive criticisms here.
1️⃣ Country & Language
A. Some type of "International" symbol to show if a Team has or wants Players from different Countries....when I refer to "Country, Countries or Worldwide" this will include "International" as well.
This idea originally came from @MadameCurie & I 💯% support it.
B. When I refer to "Language" it means the PRIMARY Language that the Player or Team will communicate in.
C. Incorporate drop-down menu lists for both Countries & Languages....so that BOTH Team Leaders & Players can manually choose which Country they want & which Language they speak....which will be publicly viewable in their own Team Details & Player Profiles.
D. Players should NOT be locked into ONLY being able to see Team Name Listings from their OWN Country......see point 2A below.
E. In the Worldwide Team Name Listings....Players should be able to easily see what Country each Team is from & what Language is spoken in that Team....because translators do NOT work in Messages.
F. Team Leaders & Players should BOTH be able to easily see what Country each Player is from & what Language each Player speaks.
G. Team Leaders should be able to change the Country & Language in their Team Details at ANY time....whether they are the original, current or subsequent Team Leader.
H. The Team Country should NOT be locked to the original Team Leader as it currently is.....see point 1G above.
I. Players should be able to change their Country & Language information in their Players Profile at ANY time.
2️⃣ Finding Teams & Team Name Listings
A. Players should be able to access drop-down menus to select ANY Country or Language they choose....then Players can search/scroll through the Team Name Listings from ANY Country or Language.....see points 1C & 1D above.
B. There should be much MORE Team Names Listings in each Country & Worldwide.....as the Team Leaderboards (Top 100) are either usually already FULL or they are NOT interested in taking on lower level Players.
C. The Team Name Listings should have NO limit.....Players should be able to search/scroll through EVERY Team Name that is based in EACH Country or Language....so they have access to Teams that are NOT in the Top 100.....see point 2B above as to why this is important & needed.
D. Players who are already a member of a Team should still be able to search/scroll through Team Name Listings.....so if they want to look for a new Team to join.....they can do this WITHOUT the need to leave their current Team.
E. Remove case sensitive searching constraints.
3️⃣ Team Chat Window, Messages & Gifting
A. There needs to be much MORE than only approximately 10 Messages stored on the Team Chat Window....I suggest that Messages stay active & viewable for 24-48 hours before disappearing.
B. Ensure that all Languages, accents, diacritical marks, symbols & characters are supported in Messages.
C. Remove the secondary keyboard pop-up window that appears when you want to type a Message....it is completely unnecessary & extremely annoying.....you cannot read/see any Messages that you are trying to reply to.
D. Enable highlight, cut, copy, paste, emojis, hyperlinks & translators in Messages.
E. Include a character count-down on Message length for mobile devices.
F. Incorporate a "reply" or "tag" facility in Messages (if possible).
G. It would be nice to know which Player/s fulfill material requests....not so important though.
4️⃣ Notifications & Information
A. There should be some type of Notification system on the Teams Features.....especially for Team Leaders....see point 4B below.
B. Notifications such as....Player joins or leaves a Team, pending invitations, material request completions, competitions/events, messages, etc....see point 4A above.
C. Player Information & Points History should include details such as....last active, points/game level history, etc...so that Team Leaders can manage their Teams better....so they can decide whether to keep or remove inactive &/or non-progressive Players on their Team.
These a just my own personal opinions......opinions are like armpits....everyone has them....some stink & some don't 👃😂🤣👍
