Not exactly a bug

Is there any way for the programmers to make the date/time thing an option to turn off in the profile window. I really can't process all this info on my screen and I'd like to have the option to go without it.

Plus, I set my times according to my time zone, all this will succeed in doing is cluttering up my screen and showing VERY "wrong" times for everything.

Please, make this so I can "turn off" the date/time thing.

Hi Fierz, I'll see what I can do

Thanks, Duffhead.

Oh yes please, I also want to turn this new "feature" off. My buildings views are so confusing now, the useability after this update is catastrophic in my opinion

Another vote for removing this ridiculous "feature".

And me too. Please, let us turn it off! It takes too much place and doesn't give any useful information because of the wrong time zone.

Most of my guild is complaining on our board and don't want this feature, either.

Word on the street is that the German and Dutch servers are complaining loudly as well.

Yeah, this new 'update' is HORRIBLE.

It clutters up the whole page, making it difficult to see what is being produced/the general goings on. Also, as pointed out before, we are all on different time zones, and that is what we relate our cities to.

At the very least it should be made an option that people can turn on if wanted, and I don't think many people would use that option.

Please, please, get rid of it!

I really like the information, but I'd rather have it replace the time remaining, rather than be additional text. Or maybe just be present on the building's page itself, as it's most helpful for longer building upgrades. (I usually don't set my production for longer than a week.)

I had a thought about this new feature... can we have it as a separate column, may be? Then it won't clutter the page so much. and will be easy to ignore when not needed. Actually, it might even be useful if time zones will work properly...

I don't care for its implementation. It makes columns of numbers very difficult to read, picking out relevant information from the irrelevant
(and cluttered) background.

I suggest

(a) making it an option so you can turn it on or off.

(b) implementing its placement on the page as a "mouseover" - when you hover the mousetip over the time remaining,
it can pop-up. That way it is available if you want it but you don't have to look at it all the time.

Hi everyone,

we heeded your objections and went to work - the feature can now be activated/deactivated in your Profile, depending on if you need it or don't need it.

Best regards,

Thank you!

I may be one of the few that liked having the info, even though I don't particularly care for the display. I like Elhior and BoneChanter's suggestions to have it either as a separate column or a mouse-over. Perhaps work will still be done on how to tweak that? *puppy-dog eyes*
