Please add a Notebook to the character sheet.

While I really dont see a need for it I am not against it if you doesnt take much dev time or create lag or bugs. I guess I am an old fart or something for stuff I really need i have a pnp set up and I dont like going away from my game screen any more than I have to.

To me, typing is faster, and it's easier to be more organized on a digital notepad. Not to mention an actual notepad would require light to read, and I often like to sit in the dark at night, while playing the game.

(Please note that I am not disagreeing with your general suggestion, just pointing out something that may help you)

You actually don't need to do that. You can add links to your in-game browser so that you can access sites such as the Wiki with a simple Ctrl+D (or whatever shortcut you have MyDDO set to) without ever leaving the game.


Just open up MyDDO, and go to "Admin" at the top (right above the Lottery box).
Then, on the left hand side of the page you'll see a "Links" menu. Click that and go to "Add New"
From there, you'll be on a form where you can title and set links such as DDOWiki, various puzzle solvers, or really whatever site you want!

Then, whenever you want to check out the Wiki, instead of Alt Tabbing, you just go to "Links" at the top of MyDDO (right below the Search box this time) and select the site you want to visit.

Alternatively, if you use Steam, you can add DDO in and just use the steam browser. Works a lot better for me, and has the advantage of not needing to be closed completely every time I want to continue playing.

MyDDO works the same, actually. (Just tried it not long ago, lol.)
If you close it, then click on MyDDO later, it will be on the page you left it on. Also, I love Steam, but it's way too much of a memory hog, so unless you've got like 8GB RAM, you'll be slowing down DDO with it.

we need any kind of private notepad, which wouldnt be seen by others like bio. quests to repeat, exp/lvl, tips for puzzles, notes about other players - all that dont fit to bio, i dont want others to see my notes. ddo sometimes crashes after minimizing (at least on my pc) and its riddiculous to use pen and paper when using pc same time
sry for my english, but i think my point is understandable

maybe...

As for myddo opening back up to the same page, I did not know that, but I still like not having to close the browser window at all as well as the convenience of a usable address bar.

please... there's so much info to keep track of. I'm using the toon bio for this now, which is annoying since everyone can see it.

I'v been using my 'Biography' tab page to write what stuff I am flagged for, but that's obviously not the place for that.
They're planning on adding a bunch of stuff to the CH anyways, so ya, lets have a 'notes' tab.

[Memnir]

A non-public Bio tab shouldn't be too hard to implement. Ignore it if you don't want to use it (as I probably would), or use it for any personal notes you may want to make.



/sure, why not

[Kalari]

Good idea this has my backing

[Stoner81]

/signed!

I think this is an awesome idea, I have lost track of the amount of notes about things I have taken since coming to the game (hopefully some of it has actually stuck lol).

[Ducaster]

Agreed. Good idea, simple, and encourages playing with due care and attention.

[LordRavnos]

I have like 7 notebooks and tons of printed out material for stuff I dont want to open my laptop to check out

Notes (non-public) tab right below Bio (public) tab.

Easy peesy.

Good. Now, everyone that /signed it here go to my thread and sign it there.

That way we'll have it in two places and it will appear as though we REALLY want it BAD!

[xberto]

This thread necro is not meant to be mischievous or anything. I was just going to suggest adding a note pad to the game but quick search shows it has already been suggested. I think the suggestion is still relevent today. I , for one, would still like to see it introduced. Nothing fancy. Just a simple, in-game tab to write down reminders or whatever. Something private, unlike the character bio. please please.. thanks...



Edit: ah Hell, cmon, I'll buy one if you put it in the store

[Tholgrin_Stoneforge]

Totally going to try the MyDDO browser trick tonight when I get home; my video card likes to wonk out my gamma settings if I alt-tab to a different window. (yay)

Add another user to the list in favor of a private notebook.

[TekkenDevil]

I appreciate the necro, I think it's a very simple thing to implement, and I want to stress that this does NOT have to be information stored on server-side, just simply a file that goes into My Documents that can be easily transferred via machines by the user.

Server-side *would* be appreciated, though, in this day and age. I mean it's only text data, it's not exactly like keeping a server-side screenshot gallery storage like Steam offers.
