2 Features I want to see


BackFire

 

Posted

Forgive me if this is the wrong section but I felt this one would work well.

There are two new features I would love to see added to the MA system.

<ul type="square"> [*]Favorites Tab [*]To Do List / Que List [/list]
Favorites, I would like to have this so I can add the story arcs I enjoy and would like to play again.

To Do List / Que List, I would like to have this because I get quite a few people that play my arcs and want me to run theirs. And people also suggest arcs and it would be nice to be able to put their arc in that list for me to run at a later date.

Absolutely agreed.

And I'd say that a favorites list should have the option of being public (not default, but an option) so if there's someone whose judgement I respect, I can see their favorites list.

I want the search function to search on level, custom/in game baddies, and the presence of kill alls, EB/AVs.

I want a search function that searches.


Altoholism isn't a problem, its a calling.

This and a favorites list?
It just makes sense to have an option that you could check, and it would automatically show level-appropriate missions for you. Even low level characters might want to have some fun at AE, and not have to search for an hour.

I like it, but this is about the fifth or sixth thread I've seen it mentioned in.

Not a slam on you, of course. Many of them may very well have disappeared in the purging of the Beta boards.


Dec out.

I'd love to see these features as well.

I think it would be really cool if the devs could publish a list of targetted features for an MA 2.0 version. That would hopefully reduce the tribbling of ideas.

I would like to see the favorites and shareable favorites, but if they were making hard choices on what to include, I'd rather have a more robust search.

A todo list would be convenient, but I could imagine many things I'd rather see first. Such as a general purpose ingame note system for all sorts of things that I alt-tab notepad or paper pencil track now.

Off topic, but I take notes on CoX by having a special tab that only tracks tells and sending myself tells with notes. I don't have an SG and I never team so it's pretty rare when I get tells, but if you do talk a lot, then you could do it with emotes.

I would be surprised if these features weren't added eventually. Very simply to implement, and would add some desirable functionality.

I would love it if the button was unchecked on the search that does it for the arcs I already done. I hate it because it gets in the way of finding an older arc that I want to recommend to someone.


Bump and Grind Bane/SoA
Kenja No Ishi Earth/Empathy Controller
Legendary Sannin Ninja/Pain Mastermind
Entoxicated Ninja/PSN Mastermind
Ninja Ryukenden Kat/WP Scrapper

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!

Searching for Arcs I have already ran/rated would be a good start ... but yeah a favorites tab would be a nice feature.

(think this kind of stuff should go in the suggestion forum though)

a favorites would be great. I would love to find people who share my opinion on arcs and play the ones they liked

This is definitely needed. It's frustrating to finally find an arc that's good only to lose track of it. The stars are really no help in this regard.

I'd love to see those features, too.

But it would also need to save the arcs by name and creator in case the author unpublishes and it gets renumbered. Or if the author unpublishes and has someone else post it for them to free up a slot.

I've noticed a few missions that I had jotted down as favorites have "shuffled" since I played them. The system would need a way to give you enough info to track them back down if they get switched.


Craft your inventions in AE!!

Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!

Those are 2 excellent suggestions. I aboslutely add them.

While at it, why not add filters for levels too, so that if you play a lowbie you can easily find the arcs for level 1-14 and such.


Arc ID 104041 Attack of the Mini Phalanx Solo Friendly; Custom Characters; Comedy.
Arc ID 292449 The Shadow of Eihbon Solo Friendly; Canon Related; Magic.

Well, the beta forums have been purged and I couldn't find a thread about this anymore, so here it is

A queue would be great. I've had a few people rate my arcs and I honestly intended to write their names down to return the favor and then didn't think about it and changed characters before I got around to it, or I crashed, or I just plain forgot.

It's no big deal when it's someone I know because I'll get around to playing theirs anyway, but when it's a random person that came upon my arcs then it sucks to lose them forever.

Yes these would be nice features. You could have a queue tab with stars (like gmail) to fave/save an arc.

I use '/playernote [topic]' (eg, MA, ToDo, Badge Missions). If that might get confusing (was it Todo or To Do?), you can also just do '/playernote [yourGlobalname]' and put it all in one place.

Cool idea. What I wish also in the "Favorites List" sort of concept is that each souvinir had built info tag at the bottom of Id (at the time), Mission name, and author. A handful do this manually...

The idea's great. I'm sure it's something everyone who enjoys MA would want. As said though, it's just that so many people have already suggested it. I'd bet the Devs already have something like this in the works, right along with a tagging system.
