Tweeter Bird

[ali.usman]

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

That bird gui should be in the corner not in center.

i mean ... At this point ... When people have nothing better to complain about other than having a cute little chirper or not, collosal order ... Consider your game a success.

+1 :d

 

[Inge Jones]

Yeah I like it too, but not where it is. It is distracting.

+1 agreed

 

[Scamps]

Well, at least the bird is not included in screenshots, is it?

 

[ma2412]

what is the meaning of this bird?

and: please make it optionally switchable - or at least as small as it can be and put it into some corner

 

[ryanwolf]

Nooo dont delete the poor bird!
Maybe is a good option to move they to here you want.

I'm sure there will be a mod down the line that can remove it from the game or put it in a less distracting area.

*tongue in cheek reply *

Now what would be a good option (but requiring online mode) was if we could tweet other players live!!!!!! Imagine the hashtags!!!!!

 

[Svip]

There will not be an option to turn it off I'm afraid.

Just like Clippy in Word, it will take years to remove. Chirper is fortunately cute.

I'd totally buy a stuffed CO tweeter bird! To go with my stuffed Paradox platypus.

I suspect it's Twitter so your citizens can tweet you with info


F**k them, they can write a letter, I dislike Twitter, I hate the blue bird of Shitiness.

You don't like it, fair enough. No need to be so vulgar.

 

[cRAGGLE]

*monocle engaged*

Indeed, vulgar.

Birds not that big

How about we make it small (like tiny) and when new "Tweet" is available it grows big to display the tweet and than go back to the tiny size.

OR

How about as suggested above in this thread, put it on the left or right hand side instead of center.

OR

How about a "SHOTGUN" option ? :blink:

Gee wiz, I seriously can't believe people complain about it.

It's not that big, it's not that intrusive, it certainly is not distractive, and if you really need to see what's behind it, just move a little.

I'm pretty sure that that bird is part of the branding of the game: When one sees it, it will instantly remind you of the game. It will become something like the game mascot. I can just see all the marketing possibilities once you have that bird ingrained in everybody's minds (I completely suck at marketing, and even I can see it!) Asking them to remove it, is a bit like asking Pepsi to remove their logo from the can. I seriously don't see it happening, and frankly, I don't blame them.

At least it's a mascot that doesn't make you want to gouch your eyes out. It could've been something horrible like the meerkat of Vodacom:

Yup, I agree too. +1!

wow, now i know why you suck in marketting and by the way where did you get the idea of that bird being an advertisement symbol? None of the trailer shows that bird and it has not been displayed in any add (not so far) .

Removing logo really? that bird is no way a logo nor a part of advertisement campaign.
