Help us improve Ravenskye!
Hi everyone!
My team and I work on the interfaces (like the quest windows, the quest list, the top bar that shows coins/wood/stone and the shop) in Ravenskye and we're currently in the process of improving it for you! We'd love to get your feedback so we can better serve your needs. What parts do you love? What parts annoy you? What do you think is missing? What do you think shouldn't be there? Please let us know!

Hi Alex.
My only issue that I have is with Muninn when he pops out.
The powers bar is directly underneath him and I am constantly catching the powers due to double clicking.
I accept the double clicks are my issue due to disabilities in my hands - however, it makes it no less annoying when I (for example) catch a Leons Roar. Now here I am glowing in blue with no chopping or collecting to do and it is just wasted. Or a ladybug when I have nothing to harvest - again, wasted.
I have mentioned this in the forum before and my suggestion was - could the powers bar be made retractable?
If open was it's default position but by clicking it could be closed up, this would mean no extra clicking for those that are happy for it to be permanently on display, and those that want it hidden could just close it up.
I personally think everything else is fine.
Hi Rose,
I can see how accidentally using powers could be terribly frustrating. Believe it or not, like you, one of our team members brought up making the power bar retractable today! Thanks for the feedback!

Hi Alex,
I don't know if it's possible but I would really like it if we could have more structure within the storage unit. Adding some tabs like walls, paths etc within the decoration tab would make it easier for us to find our stored items.
I love your rewards for completing collections! Keep those hummingbirds coming ;D But please increase on the dropping rate for some of the collections, please?
Hi Alex,
I would like to see neighbors names when you visit them in the interior and the peak. I understand that there is no rank there, however it can still get a bit annoying when you are visiting neighbor after neighbor and you forget who's city you are in. I also know that their name pops up when it shows you what energy etc you receive but I usually click so fast I forget to read it.

I agree with NovaMasher. Adding some tabs like walls, paths etc within the decoration tab in our storage unit would be wonderful.
I would like to suggest that items most recently stashed in storage appear FIRST when you open it. It is really frustrating to have to scroll through the entire storage to find the tree, plant or crafted item that just popped into your storage. With so many buildings and decorations that we have to store because there is no room, it can be daunting to scroll through the entire storage to find the most recently placed item.
I have had a little trouble with the "sell" button I like that you can check the box so it dose not ask all the time, but I deleted one of my shops by mistake and and had to rebuild it , if you could make it so if you click on something diffident it would ask something like " are you sure you want to sell ... ect " that would be very helpful to me

I've said it all before but anyway:
*Collection window should stay open so you can trade in more than one OR at least it should go back to the same page next time you open it
*Having the second menu when you click storage is annoying. Just make the button smaller and have them all accessible with one click
*All the tools should be laid out in a menu like the powers so you can switch between them more easily and so people won't forget them, it could be retractable.
*There's not enough space around the map, it's claustrophobic with the menus and I dislike having to try not to click things while placing/using things on the edges of the map. There should be a way to hide all the menus so that you can use the edges of the map properly
*Tabs and organization in storage, plus more info about the items in storage
*Storage and shop should be ordered, either by alpha order, rank points, or cost. Preferably there would be a slider that allows you to change the order. However ANY order would be better than the random order they are in now. If a find in shop button isn't working, or someone just wants to find something that isn't for a quest, there's no way to easily communicate where it would be. If they were alpha ordered it would be simple, even rank ordered you could at least find the rank by asking, or looking in the wiki (eventually) etc
*Sell from storage
*multi-place buildings and other items from storage, in the same manner as decorations
There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Cordelia had just about covered it all. The number one on my list the Collections window, after turning in a collection, if there are still completed collections then go back to that window.
Love the new Message centre!!
Tabs in storage and the ability to turn in multiple collections at once, please!
Thanks Alex and team

I do hate when the "get energy" window pop out whenever I spend my last energy. I think it should only appear whenever I try to spend energy that I don't have, or not even every time then. It's annoying to click on the cross of the window every time.
Hi -
I agree totally with the storage organization and the collections staying open
Also, someone kind of already said, if we could have a way to see what neighbours we have already visited for the day (like Ravenwood has, but one that works correctly).
I would also like it if, within the collections tab, you could hover over the present icons and see what you will get - so you know what you are working to eventually get. (I do know you can find this on Rachy's site too...).
Thanks!
It would be nice and also helpful, if when in the message/request center, when you click to accept and send a gift, it could tell you the number of the item you have in storage. I hate when accepting then all of a sudden it says the item was converted to coins because I've reached the 50 limit. I often have to go into the storage to see how many of a certain item I have to know what I want to accept first or need for a building, and seeing the # of the item on the message center could eliminate that. Also can anyone tell me, if I do accept items over the 50 limit and they are turned to coins for me, is it still being returned to the person that sent it? Thanks.
you have a way to grow trees for wood, but no way to grow something to get rocks. itis impossible to get enough rocks. work and work but never have enough..
One more for me - and this is a big one - the harvest over crops! I try to leave out five of each for neighbors and it's getting to take up a lot of space!

In addition to what Cordelia and jazzman27 said, I would like to have access to the spreadsheet that lists all of the buildings and the materials needed to build them. If a tab could be added to the shop, that would be so beneficial. I currently have 50 of multiple items that I need to do something with and I don't know what to build so that I can use them up. Lately, I haven't used the gustones or the snagvines and I have so many of them that are thank you gifts. Awhile back I saw the spreadsheet somewhere in the forums, but I can't find it. If anyone knows where it is please let me know.
I second this request. I have lost many a hummingbird and ladybug farmer with my clumsy fingers.Originally Posted by Rose V
Also, I have seen several people mention they would like to see a wishlist like the one in Ravenwood Fair. This would be especially helpful in completing the collections.
The most wanted for me is some kind of order in storage
some kind of little icon over a friends name to show whether or not we've visited them.
Add buttons to allow selling items from inventory!
indeed selling from the inventory would be awesome.
Also since I have very few neighbours and I don't like adding strangers I have a really hard time collecting friendly branches. Could it be possible to make the branches a gift that you can send and receive or make it that you don't need that many friendly branches to complete a building or grow a tree. I still need 30 friendly branches for the hot dog stand and the spire tree and will probably need more for future quests.
Sell button in storage would be really nice!
Also I would like some changes more story related; One of the reasons I like Raven games so much is because of the stories behind them: discovering an ancient city, building it up, finding out the secrets, the threat from the empire. But lately I get the feeling there are to many lose ends.
- What's the deal with the wind spirits, is their story line done?
- What about the Interior did we fix the ship are we flying? ( If so can I fly my city closer to my fair? 1 day shipping for 50 wood is to long ;p )
- And there are so many characters I feel we haven't got to know like Thomas
- What about the empire??
- What's the deal with the totems how did they become this way??
Also up until city rank 30 we would get an occasional chapter or history piece about the city but after that nothingI understand that bringing out a pack every week is a lot of work but I would rather work on a existing story line then every week new characters and more unfinished stories.
And while I'm on the subject in the storage unit the story items are really badly stored there is no logical order. I would like to see it organized and perhaps expanded into a short summary which allows us to see what we have done so far. Kind of like the completed quests list but more storylike. Perhaps also a place where we can read up on the characters summaries again.
Of course this is my personal geeky thing don't know if other players feel the same way
some not suggested already
- have gems listed somewhere as currency (similar to the wood, stone, coin, etc. afterall we dont use them as materials, we use them to buy things, so i shouldnt have to go into my inventory and hunt them down to figure out how many i have)
- a highlight of some sort in the neighbor bar at the bottom around the neighbor you are currently visiting
seconding others
- sorting tabs in the inventory for decorations (walls, paths, flowers, trees, hummingbirds, other)
- retractable powers bar
- collections window stays open
- smaller quest icons or the ability to turn the icons on/off
- some aesthetic/size change to the harvest icon on ready crops (not so sure if this is considered interface tho)
I wish that there was some way of getting rid of materials such as Fireworks and Noisemakers, as I finished those quests a long time ago and I doubt we will ever need those again (unless they will come back next new year), I just find it frustrating when I want to look through my materials and have so many to look through and a lot of them are useless now, maybe we could trade them for gems
