Neighbors Better chest warning.

[DeletedUser]

[Summary]:
While grinding for gold (who DOESN'T love that???) by visiting your neighbours, you click as fast as possible, so often miss chests, some sort of warning should pop.

[Have you checked for similar ideas?]:
Nothing on the first page, chests are pretty useless, so probably no-one has bothered?

[Details]:
Getting gold from neighbours involves four clicks

• Click on neighbour
• Click on hand icon
• Click on hand icons (usually before the city loads)
• Click on world icon

The time between clicking on the hand to get the actual reward and clicking on the world is less than half a second, in which time the chest prompt comes up, often too late. There should be a warning that prevents you from leaving until either you abandon the chest of collect it.

[Reasons for Implementing]:
The grind is boring enough without the additional irritation of missing chests, or spending extra time waiting, just in case.
[Balance]:

If you use the hotkeys the visitation sequence is much smoother.

• W&E are adjacent, so you don't need to move your left hand
• You can pretty much just leave your mouse cursor right in the middle of the screen

1. W = World
2. Click on a Village (and we'll soon have Goldmines for unoccupied city sectors)
3. E = Helping Hand
4. Click just below a buff icon, usually before the buildings even get loaded
5. Rinse and repeat

yep that's just how I do it too, and I've missed loads of chests too, I think they are repeated in another town if you don't take it, so its not that much of an issue really. But it is annoying.

You will get a sound warning (unless you turned sound off on your comp ofc), but I guess you would like a visual warning?
Btw, indeed the chest(s) will be repeated in other towns if you miss clicking on them in previous towns.

I wasn't aware of the sound warning, I play with the sound off. Thanks for the heads-up!

Pro tip: You can press "W" (as advised above) when the "reward" screen pops up, instead of clicking "awesome" and you still get the reward.
Every second counts in the grind!
