Claim Button Location


Blue Rabbit

 

Posted

I don't normally use this feature when transferring items such as enhancements to another one of my toons. I mostly use the transfer feature for moving influence to other toons starting out at lower levels. With that being said, it has occurred to me that when moving enhancements, the "Claim" button has to be clicked a few times for you to claim your enhancement. Also, if you noticed the image below, the Claim button is bungled under the Spam Button. Your enhancement view is clouded by the Spam button. I would think that eventually someone in development would figure this out and maybe find a better way to either reposition this button and figure out why you have to click it several times before you can claim your enhancement as it doesn't respond right away with the first click. Now normally, I wouldn't move enhancements and only do influence transfers but being that Praetora doesn't sell level 25 SO's and I had a few more mish'es to complete, I was forced to do so.

This could probably also fall under Technical Issues & Bugs but being that it appears that the display of where this button ends up bungled with the Spam button and the enhancement, I would think it would be more of a design issue on where this button was placed thus having someone revisit this and maybe think about a reposition of this button. And while we are on the subject of enhancement transfers, when moving enhancements it appears you can only do one enhancement per email. When moving multiple enhances or salvage for that matter, why not implement some kind of "bulk" transfer to move more over within that one email? Just a suggestion.

Well, judging from the picture, I would bet that you do not have your email box expanded. You can do this so that you do not have this problem.

Except it resets to this location a lot.

I have yet to see it reset on any of my toons that I have changed it on.

Consider yourself lucky then, as it always resets for me. :/
I dread marking myself as a spammer.

This pretty much. It resets every time I log in.

Have you guys tried just stretching it out? That is what I am talking about. Not moving it away from the chat box.

Well, I don't see how that relates to the discussion and...

Oh, you mean the window.

Yes, that is what I always do, I resize it so that no button overlaps and the box becomes bigger. Nevertheless, next time I log in, it has reset to its original shape and form.

Based on what others have said, it seems that you may be able to resize it but it will always default back to the "overlapping" spam button as seen in my picture. If I have to resize it, I really don't have a problem with that being that I don't normally transfer enhancements to other toons unless they are in Praetora and unable to get level 25 SO's. This "overlapping" doesn't seem to be an issue with the influence transfers being the graphic is smaller and thus nice and easy to click on.

The other issue I had with the enhancement claim button was you had to click it several times before you could claim that enhancement from the email. This is not the case with influence transfers where you just click once and get your influence. For some reason, when there is and object (enhancements not sure about salvage items), you have to click on it a few times before you can claim it. That might be an issue for Technical Issues and Bugs section?

Same. Changing characters will always cause it to collapse again even after a resize.

I have noticed that when it is collapsed it takes multiple clicks to get the claim button to work. I always assumed it was because it is overlapping other interface widgets. I stopped trying (I was afraid I might report myself as a spammer!) and now I always resize before clicking the claim button. It never fails to work on the first click that way.

Well, I don't know what to tell you guys. Mine does not resize when I switch toons or quit/restart game.

HAX!

But seriously perhaps it is a resolution or screen size/setting thing?


total kick to the gut

Have you tried saving the window settings after resizing?

I believe this works. Cannot confirm at the moment though (not at home).

Though I too encounter this problem, as much of a hurry as I may be in some times, I always expand the email box upward before going for that button. Far too close for comfort... so yes, I would be behind nearly any solution to this.

Um... is there such a thing as "seventhed"?

If saving the window options makes the resize permanent, that's great, but the window is obviously dimensioned to display the email buttons even if the window is at its minimum size. It seems like it would be more consistent to move the "Claim" button into the row of other email buttons, and have the attachment icon shrink or disappear behind the button bar.

Then again, I'm guessing what is happening here is this is a separate window "glued" to the email window at the common upper edge. A quick and dirty fix to save having to redesign the entire window. Perhaps a better solution would be to disconnect the window and have it pop up from an "Attachment" button on the email window.

BTW, I am fairly sure I have clicked on the "Spam" button a few times and AFAIK I haven't reported myself as a Spammer. At least if I have I haven't heard back from the GMs.

I was able to get the email window to behave last night even after logging out and rebooting my laptop. I resized it to get the claim button away from the spam button and went into options and clicked apply.

I didn't check logging into a different character to see if the window remained the size I had made it though.

I also have no problem with my email window - it stays the size I set it at all the time.

I notice in the screenshot that the mail window is pinned to the chat window. Mine isn't. Try undocking your mail window, and seeing if it keeps a different size that way.

A better solution is to undock the email window from the chat bar.

/signed for the OP. I tried this just now and email window wasn't changed, even after clicking apply.

Window size and locations are saved indicidually to each character.
So if you change it on one character, it will be where it used to be on the other character.
Best way around it is to set up the windows the way you want em, then hit the save window setting button, and load it on each character.

Oh I didn't see it there. It was buried way down at the end of your post.
