The shiny new Web Tools

[John Stark]

Greetings!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the drops for each zone as a searchable feature to the Webtools. Currently, when a specific zone is put into the zone search feature, all mobs that spawn there are listed, and each one can be clicked on to reveal their drops. While this is a means to search for items by mob and by zone, it is an inefficient one.

If we could select a zone, and then have an option to show either the mobs or the drops, that would be great. Searching a zone by items, frankly, would make it far easier to determine gear choices in the long wrong, as each item already shows the mobs that drop the item in the "zone connections" listed at the bottom of the items.

So, if we could search a zone by either mobs OR loot, that would be very handy indeed.

Also, I will reiterate my previous request that the Items Advanced search feature have a pull down menu to allow for Zone to be a search parameter.

Further, that the Zone search feature have a pull down menu so that each zone is listed and can be selected that way.

While I'm rambling on, I might as well through this against the wall and see if it sticks. It would be very handy to have items show the Quests or events that they are linked to.

In the Item searches I have done, there is often a number of items that return with no "zone connections;" that is, the zone connections show no mobs that drop the item, no merchants that sell it, no recipes it is involved with, and so on. On some of these items the Lore indicates "Halloween 2013" or "Christmas 2014," identifying them as event-only items, but a large number of items return zero "zone connections," indicating to me that they are quested or gained in some manner.

Finally, another Webtool that would be very handy would be a Quest search option, allowing for quests to be identified and cross referenced with mobs, zones, and loot. This need not be filled with spoilers and long quest write-ups, but could perhaps at least show the NPC with whom the quest starts, and the final reward, so that folks who want to figure out the quest for themselves could do so without ruining the fun.

All of the aforementioned suggestions are intended as constructive input.

Regards.

Not sure if this is possible but would there be an easy way to do a mock up BiS per class per tier?

Be able to sort it by AC or HP or Mana Pool or whatever.. sort of giving people an idea of the aug and gear combos they would need to farm to have the best chance moving forward. In my head it seems like it would be a ton of work, so I don't expect anything like it.. but it would be kind of cool to have a tool that let you "window shop" for your next tier.

Looks awesome... though I wouldn't mind being able to view the "who is online" list by name, or guild, or level, etc... like the old one did I like to stalk my foes in an organized fashion...

Will work on that when I get home from work today

I know I don't play anymore but was wondering if this was still being worked on cause you know I still like stalking my peeps

Curious as to how it lists who's on line now anyway cause there is no pattern and its always different lol

Looks like based on connection to server. If a char goes LD and you go all the way out of the client and log back in shows up at bottom of list

Maybe I'm not doing it right but I've been trying to search by aug type (which in one of the earlier replies said was ready and would be pushed to the live webtools) but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Also I tried to search by Augmentation and put 2 stat limitations on my search. The first was Damage >= 1, and then Damage <= 15. So just trying to get all the augs with damage from 1-15 and it didn't work.

=/

[Croco23]

Checking into it more it seems that searching for Augments is very bugged. I did a search for augs with Damage <= 14 and got 80 results (all with damage over 14), did the same search with >= 14 and got the exact same 80 results. Maybe it's because the stat says "Damage" but on the aug it's listed as Base Dmg?

As I said before there's no way to search for augs by slot type but also no way to search for them and differentiate between 1h and 2h augs. Making it almost impossible to do any meaningful search for weapon augs.

I don't seem to have any issue searching for augs. If you weren't aware, you can select "fits in aug slot" under one of the "Stats" drop menus and type in a number in the field to the right dictacting which slot you want that augment in. I attempted it just now with expected results. Searching for item type: augmentation, fits in aug slot = 8, damage >=14. Turned up the expected results with correct corresponding values. Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, however? =/

[Croco23]

Wow, I never even thought to look there.

Thanks!
