New Dice notation. Do not like.

[dunklezhan]

I have no problem with players providing feedback on the change. Particularly, if you don't like the chance, please also include information such as:

• Your own suggestions for how to make description text numbers more clear
• Aspects of the current changes that you like the most
• Aspects of the current changes that you like the least

Such details are very very important and imperative. Saying "I hate it all" or "take it back" is not helpful or actionable. There is a middle ground to be had between expecting brand new players to learn about dice they don't get the joy of rolling and showing off the D&D rules set. Just again, make sure that it's actionable feedback that is in the forum guidelines.

OK then Mr-or-Mrs T sir-or-madam depending-on-which-of-you-wants-to-read-this, here goes:

With regard tooltip changes generally (note i'm not on lamannia, but i have read the threads & release notes and see the screenshots - this isn't a gameplay issue so i feel I'm ok to comment without experiencing first hand. apologies if this is not the case):

• they are clear in my opinion. However, if the feedback you are getting from somewhere (lord knows where, I haven't seen any confusion from anyone in game) is that its too difficult, then please just move the dice notation to a more prominent position and swap the new notation down to the bottom. Or just write "5d6 (5-30)" (arguments over loaded dice to one side)
• I like what I'm hearing about durations showing up on tooltips, and that they will show for weapon sets dragged to hotbars
• I don't like the idea of lessening the prominence of dice notation for pure numbers which skew the variability unrealisticaly anyway (back to loaded dice here - 5d6 is simply NOT going to give you 5-30 in this game, its going to give you 10-30 which is actually a much lower variance, mathmatically speaking)

I'm not berating anyone with that I hope. I understand the need for a balance with non DnD players - as I said in my first post - but I wouldn't log into WoW and expect to see everquest notations just because Everquest was bigger and 'first' when WoW launched. If you start playing a new game - online or 'real', MMO, RPG or Board game - you should expect to have to learn new rules. This is not an unreasonable expectation.

thanks for listening.
