QOL suggestion: Gold Rush Status

  • QOL suggestion.

    Add some sort of icon or indicator up in the corner of the screen where your gold stats are that indicates when Gold Rush is active.

    Alternatively: Make the pocketwatch more useful and change the color of the date to "gold" or something when Gold Rush is active.

    "wHy DoN't YoU jUsT lOoK aT a ClOcK?"

    Because this is a QOL suggestion that's why.

    Uh.. isn't the pocketwatch a clock? ;)

    EDIT: Honestly, I'd just be happy if the time converted to my timezone automatically.

  • @d3adst1ck 🤣 I figured someone would say that.

  • @sweetsandman I would settle even for a sort of alarm or sound at this point that signals the gold rush.

  • According to the Events page, Rush Hour is 9am-10am. But for which time zone?

    Yours.

    Though I'm not sure if it accounts for Daylight Saving time ...

  • Yeah this makes sense and would seem to be an easy addition to make. A ton of ways they could indicate it too.

  • Even just instead of the timezones, I think it would clear up any confusion by making it a countdown to the next Gold Rush instead.

    I'd rather see 'Next Gold Rush in 6 hours' than 17:00 - 18:00 UTC and 18:00 - 19:00 PDT. Which is it what it currently states for me.

    Unless I use Google, I have no idea what 18:00 - 19:00 PDT is in my timezone. Then when clocks go back and forward an hour, it just confuses it even more.

    You already have countdowns in the game for Emissary Ledgers, Seasons and Adventures, let's continue making things simple and consistent Rare!

  • They could just pop server announcements on the top left of the screen to let everyone know that Gold Rush is active.

  • I like where this thread is headed. 🙂

  • Only found about Gold Rush 150 hours in, ON ACCIDENT, while looking for something else in game.
    I don't understand why there isn't an indicator of some sort.

  • Quite frankly, I would be happy with ANY and ALL of these ideas. They would be a tremendous QoL improvement.
