....needs your heroes help! (Give this a new alliance tab)

babinro

Please, please, please give these messages their own tab outside of alliance chat.

The fact that these messages 'sticky' at the top of alliance chat turns chat from something enjoyable to frustrating. Worse still, it actively encouraging people to never use the feature because of the poor experience it adds to active chat. No one wants to constantly scroll down these messages in order to read regular chat.

Please add a fourth tab and call it something like Team Up along side Chat, Details and Search.

Also an option to cancel your request would help.

There also needs to be an ability to Turn off the Call for Help. I just wanted to try it, now it seems like I'm stuck with it permanently. The experience is so awful that no-one else in my alliance wants to touch the thing.

If you Call for Help, then others in your alliance lend you 5 of their characters. Loaned characters are unusable for up to 24 hours. The loan gives a single random Team-up power from that character.

If you use one of the loaned team-ups, it's gone. You're automatically Calling for Help again. If you were filled up 5/5, now you're begging for help again.

Apparently, the only way you can stop annoying your team mates is to fill up with Team-ups and then to not use them for some unannounced period of time.

Don't make a Call for Help. You'll regret doing it.

a small button right by Resupply one - called Manage Team Ups & Boosts - would be the perfect solution... or maybe too obvious...

Wait, you mean there are people out there who find the in-game chat enjoyable? Huh. Will wonders never cease?

We found it frustrating since the beginning and dropped it eons ago.

It's better than having to install junk like LINE, which parasites your dataplan.

Expand please

We came together to lend Bagman and Baglady to remove the call for help messages. Very large and very annoying in the chat, I definitely agree they need their own tab, and perhaps the ability for the person calling to state what he/she needs or wants for help.

And for the love of god, can we at least try to keep threads on topic? We used to be able to view the topics, then read the threads and actually contribute to the conversation at hand. Nowadays, enter threads at your own risk and try to find out what else we are bashing while we are in there. I have no problem if we want a debate about in game chat vs. line app, but make a new thread please!

How about making it a small button or icon next to each person's name in the chat? Or change the colour of the name if they requested team ups, and show the "send team up" button when you are viewing their roster after clicking on their name.

I also think I would prefer it if team ups requests were made from the alliance interface, rather than from the pre-battle interface.

All of the above.

What if instead they add an option on the Details tab? Click on your alliance list and you can see who needs help and a link to send it

What if we just remove the team up feature altogether and just go back to the old environment tiles approach where each arena actually bestowed different benefits and thus had something different to contribute gameplay wise instead of being a useless wallpaper? What if the developers would invest in figuring out some viable and useful environment effects instead of continuing to waste effort on a feature that was broken out the door?
