Counter Upgrade Obstructing View of Customers

[craggy lance]

Could the DevTeam work/think about some solution/change to the behaviour/way of showing, rules applying when the Counter is Upgrading, and there's Customers next to it?

It's like whenever there's someone standing next to the counter while it's upgrading, It's gonna obstruct the view of a customer, and would forbid from interacting with a Customer
I could of course change the view of the camera/zoom in/zoom out/change the angle/press other customer (if available) and cycle through the next... but it's extremely inconvienent to do every time or be forced to stay in at a weird angle, just to be able to somehow workaround this.

Maybe you could do something about the Counter itself in terms of upgrading it, like made some rule or exception to the Counter Object for the Indicator of a Upgrade to either act differently or show somewhere else?

I know it's a minor issue, and not a priority to do something about, but please, at least acknowledge it, if you wasn't aware...

It would a great QoL to do something about it, and get rid of that frustration for others going on there.

I guess it's not a big deal cause the upgrades are limited, the time could be accelerated and skipped alltogether, but whenever it can't be for various reasons and circumstances, a shopkeeper is stuck with this frustrating aspect of it.

There is a method that may help your problem:

Click on the customer's body.

not always possible, their interaction boxes are wide enough to obstruct other customers, that's why the bubbles are bigger and placed above their heads, but when you obstruct the bubless aswell with the counter upgrade bar in this scenario, it become a problem...

when the counter is full I can't get comfortably to the customers standing close to the counter/close to the upgrade bar.

I wouldn't post this If I wouldn't try to live with this already

Just move the camera

Understand.

Have you tried the method I mentioned?

Just click on the bodies of these customers in the picture.

I tried, but it's not always possible/consistent/working, I don't know the exact bounds of their Body/Bubble/Upgrade Bar, so whenever I tried to do what I'm willing to do, something gonna get in the way, even if I don't want.

The Upgrade bar is just another Clutter layer I can't seem to go around consistently without frustrating myself.

neverethless I like that I have yet another "thing" to work around with.

I guess I would need to maybe rearrange something in my shop, or really wait for Kabam to do something about it.

It's nice that I get more customers, but it's not nice that the interaction with them is cluttered by a few layers on top of them....

OHH wait though... i need to check if by pressing the "center mass" of the customer (if possible, cause not always) it would be much more enjoyable (just like you show me in a screenshot)

I guess I would need to train my mind to look for anything that I can "Press" on when talking to customers, be it Bubble, be it the Body, or contextual switching between them, but I'm not gonna stop my Hate towards Counter Upgrade Bar which is making it like a need and not a choice

Ok.

I hope my method can reduce the trouble you encounter.
