Hello everyone, I would like to suggest a simple change to improve the quality of life during the matches: unclickable alerts.
Currently, you can only enable/disable alerts (Options > Gameplay > “Show Alerts” checkbox), but I like the alerts on the screen, specially if I am researching multiple upgrades (Ex: ground carapace and pathogen glands) so when a research is complete I usually check the alert to see what was finnished.
Unfortunately, the alerts when clicked move the camera to the place of the event. Usually it is not a problem, but some days ago I was microing my Infestors to neural parasite some Battlecruisers but accidentally clicked on an alert that was on the screen and the camera moved away from the battle. It is a thing that can happen to everyone (and very annoying when happens), so my suggestion is to make a drop list for the alerts (like the drop list used for control groups) with the following options:
same here - when you’re in a ZvZ in the middle of a ling/bane fight and THEN a drone spawns! Let’s take a good look at our new little baby drone and loose the fight…
YES.
This is an excellent suggestion. I turned alerts off entirely because… well… clicking them is awful and possibly game-ending at the wrong moment. I still want the damn alert though, it’s good information.
This is sorely needed. I had to disable alerts after I flew two banshees straight into a spore and group of queens trying to micro them back at the very moment an alert popped up.
