Job Board Enhancements
I pushed out a few enhancements to the job board today. Most are to address confusion players get when they beat a forum and don’t get paid for the jobs they complete. Usually what happens is people don’t know a time limit is attached to a job, or how long it took them to complete it.
So now, if you have a job when you enter a forum, you’ll get instructions in the top orange status bar:
Also, if the job has a time limit, you get a countdown clock after you perform your first attack:
And then, you’ll get a more detailed update in your newsfeed if you complete or fail the job:
Not too shabby

Excellent addition. Would it be possible to have something similar as an Option for ‘normal’ forums so that we can monitor how long it’s taking us to pwn a forum, for Speedruns?

…yeah, I posted ages ago that the columns in the listings should actually, you know, be clickable sorts. Sort by price, sort by job type, or if you’re really OCD, alphabetically (Or reverse!!) sort by requestor.

Nice, much needed addition. Any plans, however, to make the job points usable for "special" items instead of just gaining the e-peens and a little cash? Would be great for the end-game folks.

This addressed all my complaints I’d have on the system, grand job.
Though I still have to worry about my streak being broken when trying to up that and my flezz through the job board. D:

Seconded. I think this is an awesome direction, really. Having an idea of how we’re doing… or also "Hey, the time req for this is really short, I can’t do it, so I know to try something else"
