Which inevitably get ruined because it uses GMT or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siolfir Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 My complaint about it has to do with how it affects the tabs when viewing character information. I used to be able to see if there was a description, and if there wasn't one, it would go to powers. I liked that - if you took the time to write something, I got to see what you wrote, but if you didn't then I could see what I was probably looking for in the first place (your powersets, so I could adjust my teaming expectations). I'd be fine with it if it was at the bottom of the Powers tab, and the initial tab opened used the same selection process that I described earlier; I'd overlook it like I tend to skim set bonuses just to notice if they're present or not (wall of text set bonuses mean I'm fine if the team splits and everybody does their own thing; no set bonuses means I'm going to suggest everybody stay together).

Cervantes88 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Yeah it actually bugs me that I'm going to invest a ton of time in a character and have some random shitty date attached to him in his description so I'm actually tempted to wait for a somewhat significant date to create it... it's really dumb (and borders on OCD lol) but the option to not display it would put my mind at ease. I didn't even care too much before, but now it's like a dead pixel that I can't forget about @~@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kabuki Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Add me to the "not a fan" category. It should be an option the player has to turn on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingAries Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 While not anywhere near a "must do now", I'd love to see this go away as it's inaccurate for those who aren't new (well, in our minds since we started ages ago).

It could be almost like what you see on those wikipedia articles for “key dates” in comic book characters’ timelines. i could definitely see like an alternate tab that highlights “major events” like: “Defeated Veles and crushed a Skulls-run superadyne den in Kings Row,” or “Defeated Frostfire,” or various badge-earning events (“Went on the warpath against the skulls and arrested them in record number” for earning a badge for defeating X number of foes) It would be really neat to look back and see all the ways in which your character has grown and gained notice since starting out. 1 Liberty and Virtue server refugee.

VileTerror Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Sooooooo . . . permanently record the time and date of each Badge earnt, and have a toggle to switch the Badges tab from "Sort by Category" to "Sort by Date" instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cervantes88 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 As long as it's optionnal to display all of that I'm fine. If I don't want any date attached to my character it'd be nice to have the option to turn all of them off completely. But it's clearly not a huge priority. Would it even be possible to make this milestone system retroactive ? I'd settle for just the removal or hiding of the first appearance date personally.

VileTerror Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 There was an idea in the past that Souvenirs could unlock clickable items in your Base. The 3D assets would be available regardless, but if you completed the Story Arc, then you could place a version of that 3D asset which other players could click on and read the Souvenir Text with your character's name in it.
