Travel Preview Option?

aedia • 3 April 2014 at 2:19 PM

I was wondering if it would be possible to create a 'preview' feature when using travels; this way users can see what their purchased travel looks like on creatures before they use it.

There is a 'donate' button, a 'send to friend' button, and a 'delete item' button, so I thought that it would be nice to have a 'preview on creature' option as well.

Some travels are hard to obtain or retired, while the CC travels cost money, so I think this would be a good idea so that people don't use one on a creature that they later may regret.

Thoughts? Other ideas? 😊

Can we please have this? It's so hard to pick travels without knowing what they'll look like first. Since they're a one time use thing, I think it would be really good if we could preview before using.

Or even preview before buying. So we can figure out what we want to buy.

We really need a preview button for Travels, it's really annoying if you change a Travel and it does not fit the creature or does not look good on it.

Since we can't remove travels without losing it, a preview button would be nice.

I'm wondering if it would be too much trouble to make a creature/travel generator like EggCavern had it. Egg Cave already has the creature and travel images and maybe they can be superimposed on each other?

You got my full support on this. It doesn't seem like it would be too troublesome to implement. (But heck, Im no coder either! lol)

@aedia It could be separate location like the Mirror Lake or smth like that it could be for some anount of EC. Anyway it must be done!

I absolutely LOVE this idea. I had this pink cloud travel, and I was gonna use it for my Tasma, Colorsplash but it didn`t fit! I give this idea 100%!

Thank you for the support everyone! 😊 I am glad that you like this idea. 😊

@wolphire Yeah, I agree; I would much prefer a travel generator like eggcavern, but if they can't do that, I would hope at the very least they would be able to provide some type of preview, although a travel generator like eggcavern would make it easier.

I loved that travel generator thing on eggcavern. SO helpful. That would be like the ideal thing to have here if they could do it. But something is better than nothing, if we do get some form of travel previewer, eh?

@aedia

Neutral on this.
I mean I'm one of those people who think of putting whatever travel on their creature. Haha, silly me.

I really miss the travel viewer on eggcavern,net

I mean it was not only for the purpose of viewing the Travels on our creatures, we also had a full list of all travel and since we got a lot of travel updates iam kinda lost now.

It would be awesome if we could have a list of all travels and a travel viewer so we can check out if the Travel looks good on our Creatures.

@Ian

we need this stuff really really bad!

I agree!

@nanami
I would love to have a travel viewer here on EC.

Also I'd like to have a travel archive, where you can watch each travel, if it's retired, the rarity, how much did it cost... Like it was on EggCavern.

That would make things much easier.

And not to mention the opitions for trading travels and remove them from a creature without deleting them. -.-
I wonder if we ever get this options...

@darkskyazray

*nods*

we totally need this

@aedia
I agree. I'd really like it if we could see how the Travels looked on our creatures, especially since they can only be used once. It'd be a shame if we put a rare Travel on a creature to find out it doesn't go very well with it.

@darkskyazray
I agree 😊

@aedia It would be a nice feature but, there are a couple offsite viewers like this one : http://www.eggcavity.com/creature-viewer

so....yeah...there's that. lol
