Wanted to suggest a little pop-up for when you get a beard error in-game. Pulled up by a button prompt or by a click and providing information or general advice for that error! This is mainly because of how generally un-helpful beard errors tend to be and how they can even have the same messaging for when servers are fully down, intentionally or otherwise, or if you just need to relog your game.
It would pop up as a little button on the corner of the pop-up error message, interacted with 'TAB' for more information on why that error might be happening.
Interacting with that ^ would slide up an information panel about that error, in this case, Lavenderbeard, offering basic potential fixes that one could do, as well as a place to go for direct help (the support link):
These responses being different case-by-case obviously. But with the current ability for in-game notifications of upcoming maintenances and downtimes, info can be changed on the fly if need be. Such as if there was a region-wide outage in certain places, those errors could be updated with that correct information:
Or the obvious example being when there is a current Maintenance ongoing (which.. for some reason doesn't have a consistent separate beard error, nor any sort of special messaging, so people assume most beard errors are for server maintenance...):
Generally, feel like this is VERY needed and something I'm a little surprised we don't already have. There is some current framework already there for internal messaging and would mean that messages such as these could get updated when issues arise. It would just mean getting all the currently existing beard errors their own set of details, advise and messaging, though overall it's good if they can just link to the support site for help.
Let me know what you think! Just threw it together and added some notes to the earlier pictures for help! ♥
