Those of us who have long friends lists know that the beacon list accessed in cloud view has serious defects. Accessing it means some kind of huge memory/processor burden that freezes the app repeatedly--even after the user has left the list! For me, that freeze can last up to three minutes and leads to banishes, lost battles, lost structures, and general irritation with the app. It needs to be fixed and, in my opinion, is an even more serious barrier to enjoyable game play than the app crashes. After all, I can restart the app in 10 seconds, but a freeze can last 20 times longer than that!

But there is another way I'd like to access the beacons: via the player information page. Along with hit points, experience, spells, badges, and realms, how about a beacon list for that player? Imagine the convenience! Even if the beacon list is repaired, a player with a long friends list is forced to hunt through hundreds of beacon names to find the desired beacon. Many players are unaware that this is a problem and fail to give their beacon's age when referring to it in chat, status, or private messages, making for more delays. Now imagine if the player could post a message saying "help!" or, "the spirit you need is at my beacon" and you could tap their name, tap the beacon, and arrive.

Please developers, make this a high-priority enhancement!

I think this is a wonderful suggestion! It sounds like it ought to be easier to implement than fixing the memory leak or whatever causes beacon list lag, and it would completely solve the problem for me.

For those of us with large friend lists, beacon list lag is absolutely crippling to our gameplay. Please, GA, implement this or something like it, and soon!

Thank you!

I was thinking about that a couple of days ago, actually. It would be really helpful.

Thought about this as well! It's a fantastic idea, and would save so much time. Please try to implement it!

That would be very helpful because I easily crash when I scroll down my long list of beacons.

Agreed. It's confusing enough with even a short friend list to quickly find who you're looking for.

Excellent suggestion, fully support the idea!

This is a great idea. I have exactly this problem--if someone says "help" in chat I should be able to click on their name and jump right there.
