Make Wiggle Low the Default Setting

Started by karstenw

From this feedback and the previous one, every player who has weighed in has asked that we either have:

  1. Low as default

  2. Set your own default

  3. Or at least have memory from track to track at what a player has set for wiggle power.

NO player has said that they like using Auto as a default, and the reasons are varied. Can a dev please explain why on earth we are still stuck with this (after many have said it has wasted their time)?

If there is no good reason - then please get a fix out in your next release - it's irritating the heck out of many players.

PS - and please change the highlight "color" for the wiggle powers as they are very difficult to distinguish (as has been requested in feedbacks). That should simply be a matter of inserting the color value of what you currently use for the highlighting for the Actions, Undo, etc bar.

I agree with all of the above. What strikes me is that the people who are asking for this change are the top folders - worth listening to I would think.

thanks Tony, I'm certainly not a top folder but this auto change is making things much harder (and yes I know I don't 'need' to play all of the puzzles).

If you don't want us to play low then just get rid of it. Please stop the 'auto' default, it really provides no benefit as far as I and many others can see, especially when crashing and changing tracks, either of which may happen quite frequently.

This is not a day job, we are not being trained in a superior technology and as far as 'dumb' mistakes are concerned you may like to reference the idiom of the 'pot calling the kettle black'.

And again, if nothing else, at least make it really OBVIOUS which wiggle power is being used at all times in all interfaces please.

Even to the extent of a dialog saying: 'Dave, which wiggle power would you like to use after restarting that client, and that puzzle, and that track, after that nasty 'unexpected' crash?"

Or perhaps 'Mr Clippy here: we noticed that you just changed tracks, we have set your wiggle power to HIGH which is available in this puzzle, so you can get the job done faster'. We have a big ok button but you have to get a magnifying glass out to see the 'I don't want to do that thanks' flat marginally differentiated text :P

Thanks
