"Hide content you do not own" option for Adventure Compendium

[FlyingTurtle]

Self-explanatory. A little checkbox like the one in the LFG tool. Useful for non-VIPs trying to figure out what quests they still have access to and haven't completed.

[RhapsodieInBlue]

I'd vote for this and I'm a VIP.

Basically better to add another column to the list, which contains a three-way indicator to show if the quest is free, owned by you, or not owned by you.

That way the goal of allowing players to not get confused by seeing a lot of quests with no fast way to tell if they can access them, but the buyable quests aren't hidden... they're sitting there in the list as advertisements for themselves.

[Dwane_Diblie]

Yes Please. Eather of the 2 option would be nice.

[Faelyndel]

This would be great and probably not that hard to code since they already have the same technology working in the LFM panel. /signed

I am suprised Turbine has not done his already, with a buy now button next to the ones you don't own of course. To me this seems like it may help some added revenue to the store.

See, now that would be good advertising.

Why a whole column? Just put the names of quests you don't own in red.

1. Putting it in a column means you can sort the list by whether you have them.
2. Having a column means there's a place to click and open the DDO Store to the appropriate Adventure Pack.
3. The color of quest names is already used to provide other information.

[Minttunator]

This is a good idea!

[Lorien_the_First_One]

Won't happen, it would be bad for business. They need you to see how many people are running XXXXXXX so that you will want to buy it.

No, I can't see the number of people running a quest on my adventure compendium. I just see it ghosted out like any other quest I haven't completed. This hardly makes me so excited that I must run out and buy the pack right now.

Furthermore, when I buy an adventure pack, I have no idea what quests it opens up. I have to mouse over each line in a giant wall of hundreds of quests to find it. A more effective advertisement would be a separate (maybe color coded) column indicating the adventure pack of each quest. Then when I hit a levelling wall I can be like, "hmm, what could be next?".

But more significantly when I'm playing I like to keep track of what I've done out of what I could do. I hit P maybe 10 times each session when deciding what to run. A lot of my time is spent trying to sort out the irrelevant from the relevant. It's not fun and doesn't advertise anything.,

[Lorien_the_First_One]

Bah, sorry, reading failure on my part... I thought you meant the Grouping tab although that wasn't what you said...

[Xgemina]

I can see where that would be handy for the Adventure compedium trying to figure out what you can run for favor and the like.




...Nevermind the following, reading comprehension failure...

It's not a bad idea, however, I can see 2 reasons why it would not work or not going to happen.

1. To really work it would require everyone to select the quest in their LFM. Still a lot of LFMs that do not select the quest and just list the quest in the comments.

2. Turbine won't do it due to the "Out of sight, out of mind" principle. You don't see the quests you don't own, you don't know you should miss them - and therefore, you probably won't spontaneously purchase them. As F2P, every time you open up the LFM, it's a sell point for Turbine. Everything you don't own, you have a link to purchase. Of course, again, this is only if the person creating the LFM selected the quest .

[chaosound]

op- yeah i feel the same way
but yes the 2nd suggestion was better, and it eliminates that "out of sight" argument
hell even if they just marked which were free, i can remember which ones ive bought

Talking about the Adventure Compendium, not the LFM. It's already been implemented in the LFM.

Sorry about that. Obviously need to work on my reading comprehension.


edit on preview...darnit Lorien, making me look like I'm riding your coat tails here.

[Musouka]

There's still a problem though. Most of the time the party leader does not select a quest and just puts the quest name in the description line. Then everyone sees it show up on the LFM if they're in the right level range.
