Anyone who battles, trains, boosts HP (or has had their pets slightly roasted by the red rreign) knows the healer page well. And for those who don't, here's a screenshot for a quick reminder!

  • Honestly, it... kinda looks like an excel table had a baby with the pets.php page.
  • Too much white space, link is too small for clicking on mobile.
  • The pet's image is clickable and takes you to your pet's profile (why this).
  • All the information is too spread out with far too much unused space.

With how the site is moving toward being more modern and mobile-friendly, I think the healer's abode could use a little TLC! So! Here's an image of what I'm suggesting. (Image spoiler warning for anyone who hasn't seen stage 3 of the white virus!)

  • Pets are all displayed neatly one next to the other, like how they are on the spend EXP page.
  • The number of pets displayed is flexible - the bigger your screen the more pets it can fit (for desktop users). If you have 1920x1080 screen or bigger, you can see ALL of the things!
  • All the info (pet name, hp, healing cost, link to heal) is neatly listed below the pet's image. I left the link because even with the tweaks, it's not really in-your-face obvious that you can click the image to heal.
  • It's no longer a scrolling nightmare for people with lots of pets. For all the times when you use Maleria's Clawed Glove and you are full of regret b/c EVERYONE needs healing now.
  • The pet's image is clickable for a quick heal so you don't have to try and poke a tiny link while also fighting your phone's derpitude. For those times when your phone/tablet is deeply and utterly convinced that you meant to select the word "this" and not click the "Heal this pet?" link.
  • The extra link back to the Sacred Lands was removed. There can be only one! ⚔️

Colours are optional! I only added them for the sake of a little somethingsomething to make it obvious that your pet is not at max HP and to make the infotext block less gray. This is all purely cosmetic with a tiny bit of QoL tossed in. The healer works fine in terms of mechanics, the page just needs to be a little less early 2000 and a little more 2019.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Extra suggestions & tweaks

  • A "heal all pets" option - (thank you, !) Either as a GA perk, or a default option. For a tiny extra fee, you can heal all of your pets at once.

"The pet's image is clickable for a quick heal so you don't have to try and poke a tiny link while also fighting your phone's derpitude. "

oh god please right now if you click them it takes you to their profile and that... is not necessary??

[edit] i was too excited about clickable images i posted without reading anything else i just saw your mockups, i like them. i'm not too sure about needing colors, and i think there'd be an adjustment period (muscle memory knows the link is on the right) but i'd deal with that if it meant i could get all my primary batters on one line

oh sacred spork, smite mine enemies

Love it when users make mock ups to better show what they mean. I love everything about it and yes I totally 100% agree it is time for a revamp

It would also be coolest ever if it were a GA perk to heal all your pets at once with a 20 WT surcharge, similar to what the Veta Lake Resort does.

Major support!

I think there needs to be a "heal all pets" button and there's no need for this to be either a GA perk or cost extra. Reasoning here is that I often heal pets when they only need a few points because stupidly when you train heal your pets don't get the damned health point and that's so annoying.

OhYEP, there's definitely going to be an adjustment period because of how differently everything is positioned. Same thing happened with the new training menu and the new exp spending page. For those who don't bookmark their direct healing links, it's gonna be so much easier to just tap the pet's image and go back to battling.

😬 I still can't figure out why the pet's image takes you to their profile in the current system. Imean I'm sure there was a good reason behind it at the time, I just can't figure it out for the life of me.

I can definitely see a "heal all" option being useful, but I also don't think it's useful enough to be a GA perk? Realistically, how often would it even be used, outside of red rreign burnings for achievements, mass-training and Maleria's Clawed Glove curses? ? Not everyone trains all of their pets, not even for jobs.

I'll add it to the first post. Wouldn't mind it to be a little bonus feature that costs 5-10% more sP though, just to reduce clicking! But I don't feel it's really necessary for a GA. Offtopic, but I would kinda rather have the check-everyone-in GA perk for the Rathskeller Inn instead, but that's just me.

This is a great idea! The hefty scrolling/generally displeasing aesthetic at the healer has always made it feel like an effort to visit the page. I tend to just bookmark the direct heal link for my main battlers. x)

A 'heal all' link would be fantastic.

Looks good. It autorefreshes more slowly than it did before, but this can be worked around by cntrl tabbing it.

Aww neat, thanks Bug! ^_^

I forgot that the zombie thing actually showed at the healer because it was at the bottom of the page. This is a much better setup. c:

Yessssss. 🙏 Thank you, @ Bug!

Should I leave the topic open in case people have any more suggestions for the healer (like the heal all button)?

[edit]Please keep the topic open for now, if possible! The healer did get a cosmetic upgrade, but there's still room for a few functionality improvements.
