Api

[HAL]

Or maybe just share your characters with who you want? (Thinking WordPress Multisite Buddypress install.)

If you are able to share characters at all, you will be forced to share by people who want to screen them before letting you join Raids, etc.

asking for being able to interact with the game without even login in sound for me similar as feeling entitled to EE loot while playing on casual. Playing an online game mean at first connecting to it ...
I dont wish to see this game becoming a facebook like ...

You are not ingame , you dont have to interact with it .

what would you like to see if we had a new API? Or worded otherwise:

Offline inventory
Offline character lookup
LFM mobile app
Offline Guild lookup
Offline character export
Offline Guild Management

This comes from a recent interview with Severlin and Cordorvan. The old MYDDO API is dead - and *probably* won't be coming back, but if they could put some functionality into the game .... what would it be:

"Offline inventory"
Yes! I would love to export total inventories and open it in Excel for sorting and searching.

[Theolin]

My first 20 suggestions or so would be something to do with inventory

[Flavilandile]

I would love! to see an offline real time printout of the combat log (assuming it is correct, and I have heard otherwise). It would allow people to make applications that would track dps/heals/damage taken in real time, and be able to evaluate builds without Lamannia (although it would be resource intensive). Also, people could fine-tune tactics for specific encounters.

In addition, if someone was retorting a combat bug, the QA team could potentially get sent the relevant part of their log.

google dclog

once upon a time somebody developped a software that collect the combat log.

This comes from a recent interview with Severlin and Cordorvan. The old MYDDO API is dead - and *probably* won't be coming back, but if they could put some functionality into the game .... what would it be:

from the most important to the least important, with an option :

- Inventory Management that includes Bank ( Character ) and Bank ( Shared ) management
- Guild Management
- Quest/Raid Log with active timers, number of completion and Saga status ( if a quest is in a saga )
- Character sheets - rebuilt in a modern way to expose all the numbers in the right way - that can only be seen by yourself. ( Not going back to the MyDDO era )
- Auction House ( NOT Shard Auction House )


all the above with full functionality ( that is you can move items around from inventory to bank, to shared bank, to ingredient bank, ... you can post auctions and bid on auctions.... you can manage the guild, send invite mails, kick, promote, demote, ... )
If only the inventory can be done, then so be it... Inventory Tetris is the most important fact of DDO.

As an option : Greensteel ( Heroic and Legendary ) crafting, Alchemical Crafting, and especially Cannith Crafting. ( if the various altars/crafting stations are available on the guild ship or in a public area )
Note : Crafting is really really secondary to the rest... the first 5 items are way more important than crafting.

Yup so best to have it for your own characters only if at all

Thanks. But...

Pleae note that you will break EULA and TOS if you use it.

From here.

[Flavilandile]

Thanks. But...

Well you wanted something that logged in real time the combat log.
It exists, it is use at your own risks, like everything that hooks into DDO while it runs, anything that looks into the files or anything that looks into the datastreams.

[Xionanx]

IMO a "Web API" is pretty useless, none of the "Features" I have seen anyone suggest seem the least bit useful to me. I would prefer the dev's not waste their time on it when there are countless other things that are more Important PRIORITIES!!!

That being said, an IN GAME API, for things like:

Combat Logging
UI Editing
Possibly even "Hireling AI Behavior" changing..

I would be interested in seeing.

[walkin_dude]

Mainly, the ability to view inventory, bag contents, bank contents, and TR cache contents.

[Knobull]

If you are able to share characters at all, you will be forced to share by people who want to screen them before letting you join Raids, etc.

Probably the sad truth, and if "forced" to do so, I simply would not play with those people, I suspect I already have nothing to do with these types that are in the game anyway.

Shame about the whole "few bad apples" and "this is why we can't have nice things" thing.

Good riddance the group filtering that went on back then was pretty bad. Not sure the reduced game population can deal with enabling elitist snobs at this point.

[TitusOvid]

mails
timers
lfm
maybe friends/guilides on/off

no crafting
no auctions

[Grace_ana]

I would cry salty tears of happiness if I could see all of my inventories, banks, and TR caches offline. It would need to be easy to get from one to the other, though. Drop down menu to change from toon to toon, yes. Having a slow login to switch view for each toon, no. I have so much stuff, and it's stored or swapped around everywhere. I hate having to slowly log in to each toon, run around, look around, rinse and repeat a few more times, then totally close the game and start again because otherwise I get red latency...not fun.

But definitely all that stuff should be private. No one needs to see my inventory but me. Even MyDDO only showed what you were actually wearing, and that was already a cluster.

An LFG that actually works. The early DDO:Stormreach LFG system right next to the LFM panel was a good concept. I don't like that it went away.

Feedback:

Offline inventory would be nice only if it could be searchable/sortable. Must include all items, whether in pack space, bank space or TR space. Would LOVE it if you could see all items, whether they be on characters you've logged in 9 years ago or logged into recently, so you can finally find that Adoryn's Malice that went missing in 2009 (or whatever). This would be lovely for taking inventory of crafting ingredients and planning grind sessions for the Can'tIth change.

Offline character lookup - Only if you could get a comprehensive view of your character for planning sessions. I'd like if it was in a format that RJ Cyberware could port to its Character Planner, even if RJ has to code a bit of things into place for it.

LFM Mobile - Why? What functionality would it serve if you are at work and hitting the server with queries? Don't you think this would be a great avenue to DDoS the game from? Security issues, no real benefit.

Offline Guild Lookup - I don't see the benefit of such a thing. Now, if there was a way to submit a guild join application through the API, then it would be worthwhile, especially for newer players looking to get into a bigger guild. This is potentially the best idea in this list, depending on its implementation.

Offline Character Export - You mean server move? Isn't that done offline anyway? How is this different from downloading the character lookup data?

Offline Guild Management - Merge this with the Guild Lookup and you have a good idea.

mails
timers
lfm

no crafting
no auctions

QoL feedback - small panel with check boxes for ignoring mail of specific auto-generated types, example would be the DDO Store Points upon favor reward or various favor unlocks for those of us who TR like crazy. Fluff idea.

Timers are accessible in-game with the /quest command and subsequent syntax.

LFM was castrated during DDO: Stormreach by the removal of the LFG panel within the Social Panel. Orphaned LFMs need auto-pruned, as they are glaringly demoralizing.

How should the handling for Friends and Guildmates be handled differently? There is an option in the Options panel to turn off announcements for friends and guildmates logging in and out. There is not an option to message all your friends with an "/f Hey friends! Questing around level 15, want to join?" but there is a /g for guild chat. Channels were a good idea during larger populations and will come back into use if we get a Nexus server for all Public instances but are currently not widely instituted.

Offline Character Export - You mean server move? Isn't that done offline anyway? How is this different from downloading the character lookup data?

Used so you can export a build - share, put into planners, and tinker with offline. Right now there is no way to export a character to the real world except through screen shots, then ocr or by transcribing the screen shot information onto/into document.

Could go so far as to allow export (to email (account email of record) or save to drive like screenshots) every level. (initial snapshot of creation, and then what is added, changed at each level).

Could even go so far as to include what is equipped, and what is on what hotbar.

This is asking allot - but has been asked for for over ten years.

I am not saying I am for or against this idea, just rather was presenting it.

Dang old threads

I was just looking for the export my character sheet button... I would pay for this feature...
