Updates After Maintainence

[Frisky]

Regardless of what you've all said. I think it's useful actually. It's nice to know if a friend has an event starting or has earned a new achievement and it pops up

[Vinnie:Safety]

This is useful, Some of you do not think it is. Cause your playing games and stuff. There are different types of players, rare traders, casino dealers, casino owners, who will take this as useful, but for the majority of you whoa re game players, listen to the radio, chill, hangout, talk, date, its not useful.

I quite like this update tbh

Have they ever heard of the saying 'Don't fix something that's not broken.'

Have they ever heard of the saying 'Don't fix something that's not broken.'

Many times! And I personally do think Habbo has been a bit broken in the sense that it's hard to know what my friends are, or have been, up to, while I'm in the hotel. The friend bar showing what your friends are doing helps a bit in this regard.

Do you have any ideas to share that would make this even more useful?

Its a nice idea but I think it would be better in a separate window (which could be accessed from the side bar). This window could then display all of the recent activities that are made by friends, and could even be sorted so only certain actions are displayed.

Not sure if that makes sense, but meh. :L

Makes total sense!

What activities would you be interested in seeing in the window?

So when your friend starts an event it pops up?

[Jssy]

I can see what you mean but some updates are a bit more useful but not needed and some others are just pointless.

If you wanted to know where someone was, wouldn't you just go visit them? If someone wanted to tell their friend they'd got an achievement, they'd tell each them themselves. Perhaps it's just me, but I really don't care how many pieces of furniture x-hotboi-x has put in his room..

I just don't like the friends bar at all in general though, it's just a reduplication of the console and I'm just not quite seeing any benefits from it. Perhaps Habbo could start to look at different room settings such as having more options for rights (giving people the ability to kick but not move furniture, for example)... which could even stem to allowing people with rights to place furniture and give room bans for set amounts of time. This is the kind of thing that I think Habbo needs to progress, not giving us all random friend updates which we have done without perfectly for 10 years.

I think a ideas that would be good for Habbo is a status instead of a motto. So there can be a 'recent activity' thing that can show you what your friends have done. Like if they have done a achievement, completed a quest, tells you if your friends changed their status/motto and tells you if your friends changed their looks.

If we move away from the 'friend bar' side of updates I think Habbo should:- Allow Habbos to make their own room layouts, be able to create your own trax, when Habbo's knocking on your door they could be in your door waiting for the door to be answered and when its answered your Habbo walks to the door to answer.

I'm pretty happy with this update, I think it's good to know what you're friends are up to and if they're trying to contact you!
