As I'm working on the universal search for kumos.subeta.net, I realized it's about time to start filling in the hovers with useful information. Here are some of my current ideas, but I'd love to know if there is anything you'd find useful. Thank you!
Current Pet Hover

Could include:
Current User Hover

Could include (mostly in this sites hover):
Current Item Hover

(did you know that The Simple Life is coming back to TV next year? time to brush off the nicole richie item....)
Could include:

I personally think it would be cool to be able to customize this based on our individual preference. Like what if we do not want someone hovering and seeing some particular factoid, for any reason. I don't know... it might make it more unique and fun.

I really really extremely want:for pets: the pet's battle tier and intelligence would be cool too, but maybe everyone wouldn't want that so maybe a few options that can be selected for each pet?
I would like to see stats or at least maybe tier on the pets if that's do-able.

Thank you for the quick responses! I'm curious if you think a more specific hover (e.g. [battle = petid or username/petname]) with in depth battle stats is more useful / interesting, or having those in the normal hover.
I guess there isn't a ton to put there.
Slight technical tangent: Being able to choose what shows up in the hover is something that is pretty easy to integrate now, I've done a lot of work to make it so that every "object" (pet, user, item, widget, etc) can have it's own set of preferences. It's worked out pretty well so far, and makes it much easier to add a set of options to something like this.

I would like to be able to chose and make it different for each of my pets. That is very cool that you are saying that is easy to do! Thank you for all this effort you put into this! ^^

I really really extremely want:For items, account search my beloved? For pets, those leashed messages that otherwise only show up on the forums?
I like the basic: color-species. Maybe owner?

Question - are the pet hovers on this page going to be unique to the search page, or will these be like, the new "pet scode"? Because it just feels a little redundant to have the picture of the pet, then you hover on their name and get another picture of the pet. It makes the info next to it a little scrunched. The little tiny picture next to their name also makes longer names bunched up.
Not sure if you're looking for this kind of info right now
And the sizes of things are a little all over the place depending on the length of the pet name, not sure if that's intentional.

Due to this harvester's long name, its picture in the hover has become smaller than the others in their hovers, and exceeds the gray box for the names.
My screen size is 1208x1024
For hover's I would like user and pet ID#'s to show. I think it'd also be cool if a little spotlight trophy shows if the pet has won and maybe what tier they are (maybe make it optional though for non-battlers?).
[edit] After more thought it would also be cool to see event options like kiss, dance, flower, etc. on user hovers and a link to their wishlists.
But I agree that having things be customizable to some extent would be awesome, as long as some fields are always the same/required for everyone.
I'm with with customizing factoids.
Thank you anonymous!
I'd like to see item hovers display rarity, as long as that's still a thing at all.
I'd also love to see an icon for each applicable 'collection' indicating whether you have it there. (By 'collection' I mean the armory, minion zoo, sticker album, wardrobe, and books read/food eaten for designated pet(s?) as well as the 'true' collections.) I'm not sure whether this is possible, since the item detail page says that account search is just coming "soon", but it would really be the best!
I feel like hovers are more useful when they're not cluttered with a bunch of information, I like them simpler.
Pet hover:
In addition to what you have, I would like to know if a pet has won the spotlight already or not, or if it needs to be nominated.
Pet ID#s are important to me too, so I'd like that.

User hover: Link to message Link to comment Link to any holiday things we may need, like Kiss- ToT- etc etc (I really don't care about Achievements, Post counts or medals, it seems like clutter) Link to "like" avatar
Item hover: I like everything about how it is now!

If you add achievements to the hover, could we pick our favorite achievement?
pet and user ID might be nice to have on the hovers.
I really like all of these ideas!! β€

For items, I like how it is now: rarity, transformations, official and user price, shop search and account search! I use all that info daily. It could be useful to have a reference to how the item is obtained/the currency needed, but that could be tricky and we can use subetalodge for that.
For users, having holiday links and a like avatar link would be great! Maybe also a gift link.
