Title: "Taxes are collected today" should be "Taxes will be recieved tomorrow"
Post by: jaune on June 27, 2013, 08:42:15 AM
It is confusing wording. Regular newb, like me... thinks "Great, i will get my gold tomorrow!" and will have big disappointment seeing text Taxes are collected today! instead of having pockets full of gold.

+1 I have been saying this since years, as long time Mentor of many nobles, who had quite some logic problems to get this right first.

It would make much more sense to see the day where you get taxes, not where realm collection is, as realm collection does not have any active effect on nobles.

That means it should go like: "Next taxes will be recieved in 7,6,5...days".

Now it starts with 6 days and the tomorrow/today thing is very confusing, even for old players it seems.

They are collected today, so when today is over we have all the taxes collected and can share them.

"We" in this case is the administration.
The game should be though serving the nobles and not the administration.

I was initially confused by this and it was explained to me.  The wording could be better. Even " Taxes are collected from the (peasants?) today and will be distributed to estates tomorrow." " Or will be counted and sorted by tomorrow." Or even better then that.

Fine, they are collected today, so when today is over the gold has been collected and can be gave to us.

"Taxes will be received in X days" is an entirely logical change, and I can't imagine why it wasn't made long ago. "Taxes are collected today" has been confusing new players for as long as I've played the game.

I agree. It is unnecessarily confusing.

I think this request just make sense and cuts down on confusion for new and old players.

I am a noob and this confused me. Definitely supporting a change for this.

Absolutely. Iv wasted hours "visiting the family" and making sure I didn't misread the whole thing and generally getting confused and dismayed when the gold that I needed to do anything useful did not arrive. This is a change that can and should have been easily made.
Shamefur display!

Changed (not on live) to now display 'tomorrow' instead of 'today' and to display 'in 1 day' instead of 'tomorrow'. So it should now proceed '6, 5, 4, 3, 2 days, 1 day, tomorrow'.

Is this sufficiently clear to everyone?

Today. Tomorrow is followed by 'today'. As in a tax collection will occur today.
Will check next week and let you know if the Mr Vito is telling the good lords truth. :D

Well the information --> realm page does mention the time correctly as tomorrow. I have checked that. But can't confirm if the advice you get when you visit your family house is accurate too or not. Will confirm that some day and let everybody know.

Oh, I didn't change anything except the realm details page. But since you mention it, I just wrote myself a note on a scrap piece of paper of other little notes to take a look at it later.

OH THEM JOKES!!
You shouldn't have made it so disjointed and verbose though. It could have been really funny otherwise.
I mean the word 'scrap' is utterly redundant. And you know you can't have little notes of other little notes right??
And the second last word which is 'it' is utterly redundant and probably grammatically incorrect too.
Could have been really funny otherwise.
What I meant to say was that I would rather see the change myself with my own eyes. You never know what other people miss.
Thanks for letting me know about the changes though.
