Vacation Mode Indicator

Star Cruzer · Jan 9th 2014, 4:42am

Hello,

Is there any way to add an indicator that would tell you who is on Vacation mode in the Members List section?
This would be similar to what is already being used for On line, Off line and Recently on status.
It could be something like this... (Vac).

yes, very good proposal :thumbup:

It can be very handy when managing an alliance to be able to set apart v-moders from inactives

I think that its easier to have :

Blue > Vacation mode but active
Grey > Inactive, with or without VM

I agree with you iguypouf, that there could be one for inactives without vacation mode. Would smooth it up for the alliance leader, and avoid having a member losing his fleet which results in bad reputation for the alliance. However I don't think it should be divided they way you list it. Normally you aren't active in vacation mode, and what is the definition of "Vacation but active"? Would require to set a day limit to the system before it should switch from blue VM to grey inactive status. I would much rather see people in VM stay blue with a timer and inactive people without VM stay grey with a timer.

Would be something like this:
Online: Online
Offline: Offline
Recently online: XX min
Vacation Mode: VM/Vac XXd
Inactive (without VM): XXd

I moved this Thread to Suggestions Area.

I think it is better placed here.

BTW:

Nice Suggestion.

This specification is perfect

No, No, No. Today, A LOT of players are active but in Vacation Mode. I think that more than 20% of the top 100 of my Universe is quite always like ( v ), without being ( v i ) at any time... They are active, they are playing, but they are never ghosting.

My suggestion was logical if you think with a "priority" value of statuses :

Inactive more than 7 days ?
>> YES >> Grey.
>> NO
Vacation ?
>> YES >> Blue.
>> NO
Honorable or Bandit but not buddy or teammate ?
>> YES >> Yellow.
>> NO
etc etc.

It's not a division but a priority algorithm.

This does not have to be complicated.

If you go to your "Members List" under the Online column you will see who is (On), who is (Off), who has recently been on (33 min) and if added you would also be able to see who is in Vacation mode (Vac) all on one page. This will just make it easier to manage ones alliance and know the status of everyone in it at a glance.

Online
On
Off
33 min
Vac

Very easy to implement I'd say.
As it has no cons and only pros, go for it.

All graphical improvements and things that provide visual aid and information are more than welcome.

I created a ticket to have it at buddylist and alliance memberlist (v) (u) and (o), maybe also the inactive status, lets see
