*edit, this is when I was directly on time for the pound, it took 5+ seconds to even load. I know people rant that the pound isn't meant to be a rare dispenser, and I understand that, but what I am upset about is that due to the lag there isn't a fair chance when a rare DOES come up.


+1, and also shorten the time for actually refreshing the page and/or remove the "slow fade in" of the pets when going to the next page.
Maybe once at least half the page is "taken", you can refresh right away.

I can definitely understand the logic behind this suggestion, but no support! This wouldn't really change anything.
All people are going to do is hover their cursor over on the right spot until those seconds are up, which will end up being a laggy race with multiple people clicking 'adopt me' at the same time. (as it is now, just slightly delayed)

First off, thank you everyone who has voted and/or commented! I didn't think this would get the support it did so thank you! I also appreciate the amount of people sharing their experiences, it can take a lot to talk about these things <3 Second, I'm making one big post because I'm too lazy to make several XD

Like a bunch of people were saying, giving a second pound countdown would equal the playing field. The lag is pretty bad for me, where it never used to be an issue *even during* big events like the RR day. I know there's been some updates to the pound, all of which is great to see, but it still isn't fixing the lag (and I don't think my suggestion would fix it entirely either).

More importantly, those who are disabled are given a decent chance to get what they are looking for.

Both of these users bring up good points though! I don't predict my suggestion would be a perfect fix as it still can result in lag. However, I do want to point out the reason I suggested this idea. It would help make things fair. It's still going to be a 'click battle' even with a second countdown, but it wouldn't be a 'blind' click battle nor cause many users to just grab what they can due to not being able to view the pets on their page beforehand. I predict the only way to fix 'click battles' has nothing to due with my suggestion, and again, my suggestion is purely focused on giving everyone time to actually see what's on their pound page whether they are having difficulties from lag or a disability. While I understand the pound isn't a 'rarity farm', it would be nice to get even a common on my wishlist more often without having to scavenge the leftovers.

I support this. I think it would be helpful for a lot of players and to be honest
having a delay of ten seconds for people with lag or disability is not going
to hinder your day and allow someone else a fair chance. Sure if you click first then
their is that, but even my computer loads slow and it is custom built, so that is saying something
when it takes 7-10 seconds to load with so many users on the page at once.

Support! It's already a click battle, so at least with this we'd have a chance at actually seeing the pets before they are snatched up :'D

I actually think this is a great point. With so much time to process, 99.9% of users are going to click the rarest pet on their page (haha I mean of course). This means as soon as the cooldown is up multiple users will click the same pet.

Let's say in the current system, where things happen quick, maybe only 3 people react in time to click the rarest pet within tenths of seconds of each other. There is lag as the system determines who won.

Now in this new system, what if that same rare pet gets triple the amount of clicks at the exact same time? There is lag as the system processes but it will be even worse because so many more users than usual clicked the exact same pet at the exact same time thanks to the new cooldown that lets everyone zero in on the best pet.

Would it allow more users to spot the rarest pet? Oh for sure! But at what cost to the servers :lol: I would need Nick to chime in. For all we know our coder would say "uuuuh that would be a nightmare!"

We've had the pound crash the site before. I have a sneaking suspicion this suggestion is a recipe for more "oops it broke" messages lol.
