Character Exporting

[Corran99]

I am not sure on the coding side of it, but would it be posable to put in a feature that would take your character and create a character sheet that lists all your characters ecential stats, skills, feat, etc. Also it would create a equipment list that would list equiped items, stuff in your packs and in your bank. all with the abilitys for each item listed behind the entry.

I think this would help make our characters easier to manage as well as make rebuilds easyier. You print up your character and you can take them to work, school, etc and work on them with your free time. So when geting into game there would be minimal downtime.

A character exporter that shows equipment would be unbelievably helpful and would raise my enjoyment of the game tenfold. The time I have spent handwriting stuff down vs. time I could have spent adventuring more than highlights it's usefulness. Good idea!

[Mercules]

I like the idea too. Occasionally printing out the stats of my characters would be very helpful. I could sit down and figure out who has what that could be useful to another character, mine or a friend, and what I actually have. I've had things sitting in the bank of one character for when another character reached a higher level and just forgot they were there.

I had asked for this a loooong time ago. Also it would even be better if the same information could be accessible online. Although after the character info in the sig and PvP leader board snafu after last update, I doubt they would wanna take a lick at it.

I would love a bank/inventory/equipment export option. I don't know how many times I've logged through toons looking for some particular alt item ("where did that mithril chain shirt go?")

Well i can see where the web and game system had issues, since they are 2 different beasts.

I'm proposing something in the game itself in say the character select screen, add a aditional button above the 3 on the left saying export. I would assume that that there would not be any compatability issues since the game itself can keep track of your stats and equipment anyway.........Well barring some mail issues.

Yes! A text or .pdf or something!

That's what I was thinking it would be - a simple button that exports to a .txt file - use the same folder the screenshots are placed in.

Yep a simple export/print char info button would be a good start and something they should be able to do.

It's my web suggestion that I doubt I will ever see or not at least for a long time.

Personally I'm suprised it wasn't in the game at launch.

[Lord_Legolas]

Yup! Yup! Yup! YES!

Ya I would of thought that would be a very neat thing for gaming groups, especialy if they all played together during the week. On the weekend they could print their characters out and play PnP with their DDO characters.

I mean they would not be able to import anything but still it would be cool.

Although I would prefer an invenotry/bank list export ability.

Great idea that I honestly never thought of. Only usefull if it includes all the items in our backpack/bank, though. That is the really hard stuff to keep track of.

That is the main reason i would like to have this feature, so for those that have to step away from their game computer to be able to work or something similar

[hirmor]

I suggested this months ago... I think that if coding is an issue, it could be done manually for a fee and with a 24 hrs or something delay... A good way for Turbine to make money and a great service to players... Who else can we join buddies we found out have their lvl 12 toons on another server???

[Sefuss]

I have played a few mmo's. I don't remember this being an option on them, even though I think it is a great idea. Can someone give some examples on other mmo's that has this option. Maybe it is something that Turbine can look into.

I have only played 2 other MMO's and neither one that i know of had this feature. I hate saying it but I think WOW can do it but it is a 3rd party mod for it.


Boy I feel dirty now. *takes shower to get the WOW off*

[Kindoki]

I like the idea of being able to export the bank items as well. Isn't that the main idea? Being able to export the "entire" character?

[Quillion]

This is THE single item that I would most want to see. I guess I'm just a man of simple wants.
