Habitica Redesign FAQ



How do I change class? On the new site, it’s under Settings! Go to the User Icon in the upper right-hand corner and then select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.

I can’t scroll on the site! The broken scrolling is an issue that the devs know about and are working on fixing, but good news: the scrolling issues (and many other issues) can be easily fixed by refreshing the site!

Where can I find pending boss damage?  Pending boss damage is now located in the Party Page under the Boss’ health bar! There’s currently a bug where collection quest progress isn’t displaying, but the developers are working on fixing that soon . Note that it only shows your own damage, not your whole Party’s damage.

 Where are notification indicators? <span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">There’s currently a known bug where the indicator of how many notifications you have isn’t displaying on the notification icon. The good news is that the developers are aware of it and are working on fixing it soon! <span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Where is the sync button/how do I sync the site? <span style="font-size:18pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The best way to sync the overall site is to refresh the page! If you just want to see new messages, you can click “Fetch Recent Messages.”

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Where is the data display tool?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Data Display Tool is linked in the footer that's at the bottom of every page!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">My tags/filters don’t save!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">In the current iteration of the new design, to save a tag (now called a “Filter”) you need to click “Apply Filters” in the lower corner of the filter menu, even if you are unchecking a tag. In the future, the developers will be changing it so that those filters apply automatically so that you don’t have to click as much. In the meantime, if clicking “Apply Filters” doesn’t save your tasks, definitely go report it in the Report a Bug Guild and the devs will investigate!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Where can I see the list of priority bugs?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Habitica team will be adding bugs to Github soon :) Right now, they’re mostly focused on fixing them! You can also see an incomplete list of bugs here: [wiki page]

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The Mobile Browser isn’t working!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Unfortunately the new site won't work well with mobile browsers yet, so it’s definitely recommended to use the apps. The Habitica team will even be releasing some special updates soon to add a bunch of the missing features from web to the apps!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> '''I don't like seeing the equipment preview every time I want to equip something. Is there a faster way?'''

'''Yes, there is! '''<span style="color:rgb(78,74,87);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">When equipping an item, you actually have two options -- you can click on the equipment piece to see a preview of it on your avatar and all its stats, or you can click the star that appears in the corner of the item when you hover over it to quick-equip your item with no popup!

How do I hatch my pets on the new website?

<span style="color:rgb(78,74,87);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">There are two options for hatching pets on the new website: the old way, or the newer, faster way where you go to the Stable and click on a black paw-print to hatch that pet! A grey paw print means you don't have the ingredients to hatch that pet, yet. If you sort your pets by "Hatchable" it will put all the pets that can be hatched at the beginning of their respective lists :)

What are the checkboxes in the sidebar of all the Inventory pages?

<span style="color:rgb(78,74,87);font-family:Roboto,sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Those are our new filter controls, which can help you find things quickly and efficiently. For example, if you want to equip a Desert Fox in the Stable, you can type "desert fox" in the search bar and it will immediately bring up that pet, right to the top. If you want to see a variety of magic hatching potion mounts, you could sort by Color or Species and then uncheck all the boxes except for "Magic Hatching Potions" under "Mounts". Spend some time experimenting with filters and have fun!

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Why is this new update so buggy?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">Unfortunately, with an update this big (the biggest update that Habitica has ever attempted!) it's difficult to find and fix every bug before launch. The good news is that Habitica's small team of coders are working very hard to fix all the bugs as people find them! Lots of bugs are fixed by refreshing the page, but if yours isn’t, you can report it under Guilds > Discover Guilds > Report a Bug Guild and the developers will investigate.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:700;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I want the old site back! <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;white-space:pre-wrap;">We’re sorry to hear that you don't like the new site! The good news is that the developers and designers are working very hard to fix bugs and address problems, so we should be seeing lots of improvements soon. If you don't see the changes that you want, on October 5th the staff will be opening up a Trello card specifically to collect comments about the design, so you should save all your thoughts and post them then! The staff will go through all the comments on the card very carefully.
