Would there be a possibility of REMOVING the 40 and 60 stam attack icons? Just to make the interface neater... if you think these would be necessary for the newbies, more-stam attacks (as well as group attack) could be on the Creature view page)...

If this gets done, Tharnakus would need a heads up as his plug-in uses these columns.

The change item Icon was a sugegstion a while ago;

I'd say make it more than ten mins away from keyboard and a seperate colour for those accounts that have just gone inactive.

I would keep creatures green, keep active players red (<5min), away players in blue and inactive in black.

no special color for guild mates as how do you decide again if he is active or not?

I like the idea. Imo it would also be nice to have a pop-up screen to show stats/gold ect, when you scroll over the persons icon.

And while you're at it, allow resetting and removing incomplete quests. I know that I don't really want to get back to level 20 to ever complete them :) and they force me to look through the pages like crazy.

Definitely an improvement on what we have now.

Will there be a specific color for your allies/enemies?

I'd like to see green = online, blue = AFK or offline, and red = inactive


This is exactly what I was going to say. And I agree that we dont need to be reminded who is already in our guild.

================
This is a good idea too...

I really like that idea I also have one for the Quest section. Don't know if this is right section or post to make it in but, Make the check mark green on completed quests and the X red on non completed quests something like this. Posted Image

It is a great idea.... why wouldn't you have this?

I think it would also open the door for more features to be added in the future....

We are also considering changing the Monster Icon to show the individual monster classes, ie, Beast, Undead, Human, Vermin ect...

Comments would be appreciated!



I like this :)

like the idea.......but i don't think it should blink though cause blinking is very distractive...maybe only blinking if they have a bounty or something but other than that blinking is like look at me attack

That's pretty sick Varkaz. Great job. But I don't think you really NEED to identify the monster class, unless you can create another pop-up for monster stats like in another thread I read. Maybe we can get icons for Super Elite, Champion, and Elite monsters.

:D I like the more "evil" look of the monsters icon, and think that all regular monsters should have the same icon (having a different one for each "class" of monster could get confusing with all the player icons). The lovely Firefox plug-in does the job of changing the text color of Champions, Elites, and Super Elites, but this would be nice to make into a change of the game itself, for those forced to play in a non-Mozilla browser or without the plug-in (change text color, not icon color, of special monsters).

:( I don't think it's necessary to have guildmates another color; as others have said, if you don't recognize their name you can just click on their profile.

:( Active/inactive player colors... umm why? If you're going to do an active timeout, then separate active/inactive players by umm well active/inactive... as in inactive accounts (those you can PvP and they're not coming back). The only reason I could guess you'd want to know if someone has been inactive for only 5 minutes is to see if they could be perhaps stealing your kills... BUT... I'm "active" most of my awake time, but I only hunt ("steal" the kills of those around me) about 30 minutes a day. The rest of that time I'm chatting with my guildmates, doing guild book-keeping, etc.

:( Speech bubble... How often have I wanted to talk to someone on the map? Never. If you really want to spam someone with "hey wanna buy item x from me?" then click on their profile, OR if you're using the Firefox plug-in right click on their name and send message. Keep the map clean.

:D I do like the idea someone mentioned about a mouseover of the monster's icon does one of those pop-up thingies with their stats.
