Stud Notifications

Stud Notifications

So. I got a stud request yesterday, didn't have the energy for it. Promptly forgot about due to a poor short term memory. It wasn't until today that I remembered I got a stud request, despite visiting my den page frequently. And I know I'm likely bot the only one with this issue, because a lot of people have studs set as scouts for stat gains and leveling. And we see the notif, we try to breed, before realizing we have no energy, we go okay I'll breed once I get energy, and we forget.

There is a very simple solution to this problem, one we can go about in a few ways: A notification banner at the top of our den page, a dismissable banner at the top of whatever page we're on, a pop-up notif like hunting, or a symbol on the stud's profile.

So, a notification banner at the top of our den page and a dismissable one one whatever page we're on to say "Hey, [Stud]'s services are requested! Don't keep a lady waiting! [link to the studding page]"

The pop-up notification would show up similar to how you get  full energy notifications for scouts, hunters and herbalists, just worded differently: "[Stud] has full energy, and just in time! There's a stud request! [link to studding page]"

Finally, a symbol on the stud's profile, similar to the heat symbol, to signify there's a stud request. Maybe water or a different colored fire for the symbol itself.

TL;DR: Please add a notif for waiting stud requests after the mailbox notif. It just needs a bit of coding and tiny bit of art if the symbol route is chosen.

I agree, I am always afraid I am going to forget a stud request. Another solution that would work for me is a way to mark the initial notification as 'unread' so the little red 1 is still on the mail icon. (I would like that option for other messages as well, though that isn't what this topic is about)

Omg yes lol! This happens all the time with my studs til they hit level 20 and I retire em from working. Just today, I lost a stud request cause yesterday I saw it but my boy was out scouting, and forgot about it the second i clicked away.

Support!

As someone who has an awful memory, yes please. I'm always forgetting stud requests since my stud's a scout. Checking for stud requests is so out of the way that it's easy to dismiss and forget about. I have to remember to leave my notification message unread so I'll always have the indicator near my messages, but that's both annoying and another step that I, once again, often forget to do.

A notification on the den page and/or beside the stud would make it much simpler!

Support! I've missed a stud request before and would have forgotten had the player not messaged me.

My preferred way of implementing this would be a notification banner at the top of the den page. We already get banners there for wolves about to run away and puppies that need protection. It would be a logical place to put another banner.

Yes, please! I keep having to bookmark those if my stud is out scouting and then hopefully I remember by the time he's done. This would help tremendously!
