Dev Diary #220 Those tiny, annoying things...
Hey there, fellow Ylanders!
Most of the features and tweaks and fixes you find in Ylands' updates do come from your feedback. However - we are players as well. And we play Ylands as well. And yes, from time to time we too get angry and frustrated by what we experience.
Some time ago we had an internal poll where we asked the team what small, easy to fix things annoy them the most. Because those are minor issues that shouldn't take that long to fix or implement, you will very likely see some of them fixed in the next update. So, here are some examples of what the devs themselves put on that list:
Do some of those annoy you as well? Are there other things that you think could be easy to change but would make a difference?
Next week we can talk about any ideas you throw at us. Until then stay healthy and classy!

So, here are some examples of what the devs themselves put on that list:
- Show particle/visual effect on workstation while something is being crafted in it
- When I travel into a new Yland, spawn the ship in the 'free-to-travel' zone instead of outside of it so that I can change my mind and immediately travel elsewhere without needing to turn the ship around and sail into the travel zone again.
- Be able to light a torch in hand without going to inventory
- Button to dismiss all "NEW" notifications from crafting
- Allow players to change weapons when reloading (crossbow or any weapon). Often I'm stuck reloading when I want to fight.
- Make it more obvious that the player is receiving damage
Do some of those annoy you as well? Are there other things that you think could be easy to change but would make a difference?
