Suggestion: Add Confirmation Before Changing Regions
Posted: Mon Jan 20, 2020 5:04 pm
A neat feature to have in place to prevent accidently clicking and swapping regions.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

A toggeable option would be fine although defenders would definitely have to flip through their switcher accounts and make sure they've got the default setting switched off.
Unibot III wrote:Invaders could click to move their target-region in advance and then hover their finger on the "Are you sure you want to move?" button. In effect, giving invaders an additional time advantage (probably 1 sec or more) over defenders on top of what advantage is already present.

Re GP, like implementing it even without a toggle won't kill GP, so rest of sites utility should come first. GPers are some of the most capable at managing nations/updating their settings, and an extra one time click when setting up a nation isn't a big deal. Losing streaks due to mistakes and the like is far more. It's pretty common people accidentally moving regions and ruining their residency stats. Moving regions is a big deal as the WA is literally sending a fleet of helicopters to pick up your nation and fly it to the new region. It shouldn't be a single click action by default.
Here are just a few of the many examples:

If needed, I can spend an hour and wall of text more examples, but I think the point is pretty clear.

Making Residency cumulative rather than streak-based (as was suggested in some of those thread) would be a better answer I think although I don't know if it's possible.

Flanderlion wrote:Saw that post - was why I linked stuff saying it was a common issue. For me personally it'll have been fixed by just making residency only update at update, right now you lose the streak as soon as you move.

Neither of us want it implemented, so arguing over whose experience is made worse is pointless. Re-read my post. At no point did I say that the experiences were symmetrical.
My broader point was that nobody in military gameplay will benefit from this idea - unless it is implemented as a toggle you have to turn on.Lord Dominator wrote:I'd personally prefer the option of just having residency update at update.
This seems like the simplest solution to the problem that negatively impacts the fewest people.
