Guys,

Are we going to have an option to get rid of that HUGE BLUE Tweeter bird on the top the screen. I know it displays notifications but can we hide it when there is no new notification?

Its annoyingly blocking the view.

Cheers

This is really lame if true (no option to switch off).
I agree. Either change it to the fix suggested on first page (a text box in the upper corner with toggleable sound) or give us an option to switch the Chirper on and off. I have nothing against the bird, it's nice and all, but being bombarded by the sound and the obstructive text box every few minutes would be really annoying.

CO definitely needs to think about this...

I'm fine with it, I think it just needs to be moved to the corner and be smaller, but it seems to be annoying to loads of other people. Maybe there should be a poll about it...

That really depends on what else they have to do before release (bugfixing, optimizing, balancing...).

Yeah. They only have 3 weeks.

Exactly. The bird may be annoying to many people, the feedback may be perfectly valid, but I would be concerned if they were concentrating on it right now instead of what you list - bug fixing, optimizing and balancing the game are far more important to the overall experience.

I'm sure on and off toggles or other options like tickers are coming soon. I would say before launch 3 weeks sure but a small fix for this is not a days job. Couple hours of tinkering. Most the time will be spent on thinking what to do. You don't want to just disable it. Move it sure. But maybe make a ticker but where to place the ticker etc.

Doubt the devs are blind. You should see more on this soon I'm sure or might even troll us and the next video they make they might show alternative method :p

Where does that bird even come from? Why a bird?

At first I thought it was because of beta and the streams, but no. I haven't even played the game yet and it's already annoying me :laugh: And I'm really happy this is one of the very few things that I don't like in this game. I think it's going to rock

Because the bird represents twitter. The twitter represent social media. The social media represent a platform of communication between Mayor and his servants.

16 pages doesn't say anything. A lot of the post are people making fun of the complaint, because it isn't really so much of an issue.

As I said elsewhere, the only issue I would have with it is if it constantly open and close by itself. That is when you get the annoying scenario of it constantly slipping under your cursor while you're busy building that complex highway interchange. I'd rather have it open all the time then, so I would know where to avoid clicking.

Speaking of making fun, we haven't had a cat post for this page yet...

And with the version Sips was using it was opening constantly by itself IIRC. Maybe not in the latest build.

Let's vote to push back the release date and have a better / polished game.
the direction that is is taking with all of the issues needs maybe more time

Ok. I vote against.

The game is good enough as it is. There will always be room for improvement, but if we must wait until the game is perfect, we'll wait an eternity.

It's bad enough that CO turned these 3 weeks into the longest weeks of the year.
