Update 28 Named Loot Information

[dunklezhan]

we already have it, its called ddowiki.com. don't need to waste any time reinventing the wheel.

Whilst I acknowledge I was asking for the moon on a stick, with a cherry on top and maybe some icing, I did cover my thoughts on the wiki: The wiki is great - but you have to have multiple tabs or pages open. That is a bit of an arse, particularly if you're trying to work things out on a phone on the way home from work when you have five mins.

This is exactly what they should be doing. Small Quality quests, with larger platform areas on the horizon. If there is shown that there is some progression to the game, more and more people will start to be drawn to it. Eventually it will be epic again...and if they concentrate on Eberron, maybe using the realms to keep as a Museum of past module adventures if they want to do that...I am sure people will start being drawn into it more and more.

it is

could you include in the future which quests they can be found in? rather than making us wait for the wiki update...
would be most appreciated!

thanks

I have tried to toe a line between giving too much info away and providing a peek at what is available, but it is a good suggestion, and one I will endeavor to do when I can.

I think you should wait like 2 weeks and only then provide a full info about items and their drop locations.
I mean give players some time to have fun discovering things first (sadly Lamania will spoil things too).

Part of me seconds this, tho part of me doesn't want to waste time in the wrong quest or waste shards on rerolls on the wrong chest.

Part of my motivation in doing this is to help out the Wiki folks, who otherwise spend a couple hours finding, screenshotting, etc. I figure if it's going up day-of release anyway, might as well help things along. But I wasn't including their location so people could still hunt for them in new content; perhaps that's a misguided thought. It also helps our particularly loot-focused players get a sense of whether they see things they like in the new content.

Ultimately, I'm less concerned about spoiling things, as interested players had a way to see the loot immediately prior to me doing this, so maybe I should err on the side of being more informative.

This. IMO.

+1

I think players who don't want to know, have a very easy way of going about it. simply don't go looking for the information.

personally I would still run any new quest released, regardless of loot, but when it comes to actually trying to farm something, as it is I just wait for wiki to update before spending time on it.
if cordovan can help speed the flow of information, I consider it a plus.
