[quote name="Hawkfeather" date="2018-09-06 23:13:55" ] [img]https://i.imgur.com/gT3UqZF.png[/img] Mentioned it earlier in the thread, but now with example (and horribly quick hue shifted colors). Something like this would go a long way towards making it less annoying for me. If your only notification is the special baldwin notification, give it a different color [/quote] This would 100% be a viable alternative to a toggle for me. Support.

That is better. Although I would love to see the exclamation triangle be something else entirely. I think that's what does me in because (as I've said before) I've seen that icon used in negative ways before.

I think giving icons a nice face lift would fit in very well with site themes, and I hope FR eventually gets around to rolling those out. We need a night mode. We need some cool-colored themes. As it is now, a lot of the colors are very loud. Red everywhere, bright orange every time you get an alert. Can we have something more subdued?

I mean, I would prefer a toggle because this really is just spam. But making everything not so "notice me!!!" would help a little.

If your only notification is the special baldwin notification, give it a different color [/quote] This is also a very good alternative. I could instantly tell it's Baldwin and not a ping/sold item, so there wouldn't be that "oh, it's just a brew" disappointment. Since coding a toggle is apparently too hard, this certainly sounds like a simpler thing to implement.

Agreed, more control over notifications in general would be nice, but please at least stop the baldwin notifications.

[quote]a lot of people make money from baldwin and it kind of sucks that some of us have to stop to avoid getting pinged. [/quote] Also, a lot of holidays items and limited time items are available through Baldwin--and sometimes only through Baldwin. I don't think it's fair we have to wade through spam to enjoy those events.

I agree with a lot of the comments. Ideally I'd like to be able to turn off the Baldwin notifications entirely, but if that's not currently feasible, at least make them show up in a different slot like in DeadBattery's mock up or show up as a different color when it's the only notification.

While I like the idea of a color change or a separate notification area for Baldwin alerts, I'm much more supportive of a toggle. I've had a tab in my browser just for Baldwin for almost as long as he's been around, so I'm in the habit of checking to see if he's ready to brew something else. I don't need a ping to remind me. It distracts me from pings I need to address.

It's odd to me that they would implement something like this, considering the alert system was originally overhauled due to it being overwhelmingly AH spam. AH notifs aren't nearly as bad now, especially since you can have one notif for multiple items that need to be addressed. Most of the time, Baldwin is sending out pings every 30 minutes and it's going to remain that way unless you can brew for multiple ingredients at a time.

A toggle feature for notifications would also be helpful in the long run, so I think it'd be worth taking the time to work on.

I like the Baldwin notifications, and would ignore a toggle option entirely. That said, I support there being an option for people who actually do want it, since not everyone plays the game the same way.
