I think it'd be nice if the little arrow buttons on the trick or treat page underneath the user's statistics skipped people that you can't trick or treat with for the time being. Whether they already have an active request from you or if they already accepted it. This would save so much time and reduce the number of pages needed to be loaded.

Support, and it'll put less strain on the server with people loading less pages~

I support this so much. So much support. Support. Please. Yes.

Perhaps have it so there are two arrows each way. One skips to the next person in the ToT list, the other skips to the next house where you can actively trick or treat, skipping the ones where you have an open request or are on cooldown with.

I was going to say a check box similar to the hatchery with auto-release but instead one for skipping people with active requests and one for people with a cool down but that would be even better! :D


Edit: I know that there will be a page for quicker Trick or Treating, but I like to look at the statistics and past ToT experiences and base my decision off of that.

It actually would be more intensive, which is why I didn't code it that way.

As it is now, the server's able to quickly just go to the next profile and get in and get out very quickly.

If I also added a condition for tracking history, it'd have to get the list of users then for each user, check all history logs to make sure there's not an open trick or treat. If you've trick or treated all but like 5 people, this process would have to go through hundreds of users before finding the next available.

The idea was to then offer a search on the leaderboard page to find those who aren't on cooldown as I'd be able to just do a global search rather than trying to find the next or previous user. However, I just never really had time to put it in and now it's basically over so I'm not going to really bother. Next year though, I'll have the search available at the start of Trick or Treating.
