Hi @Aaxc. I just wanted to say that I love the idea of this site (seriously love it), but it is missing some important functionality that would make it more useful. Consider it constructive feedback.
1. There is no easily identifiable way to directly go to your user name without searching for it.
2. My page does not show rankings. I can't see where I sit relative to the rest of your participating community for points, achievements, or the armory unless I am in the top lists. This is especially important, and it's why I started using your addon, so it's of limited use to me as a competitive measure.
3. Not a big deal, but using the Top 7 for armory seems like a strange choice. Top 3, 5, 10, 100, these are traditional numbers for leaderboards, why did you choose 7 for the front page?
Possible solutions:
1. Add a cookie or login thinger so that you can get a link to your accounts on the front page? Probably a lot of work, but I've seen other gaming sites have this and it's useful. You might be worried about PII, so I get it if this is bad.
2. Add personal rankings to the user page (achievements points, armory)
3. Put the top ranking lists on the front page, but make a link to a broader list that provides all users ranked out with nav buttons at the bottom.
It is possible that these solutions already exist and I am not easily finding them, in which case the solution might be to provide a "how to use the site" FAQ with more transparency for dumb people like myself.
Thanks for what you've done with this, I really think it's cool, and other people I've shown it to are equally positive on the addon and the site itself.
Passed 6k finally. I swear this last 1k is going to be hard. I've lost a lot of the drive to just grind gear out in the dungeons. It's basically, 15ish weapons each.
we could arrange a dungeon farming group, or more groups with either a fixed timetable or spontaneous call outs in a discord e.g. ~wink~
But other than that, yeah, i think the journey is close to end for me... i might complete the carglorn trials with pugs, but i wait with ss, ka, ma, vs for double drop events and surely won't pug dungeon weapon farming.
yeah to be honest, i think the double drop events are where its at. i farmed hof and as this event. ill wait to do the other trials during their events. the crags? i dont even know. those are the trials i have the most gear to go on. the dungeons.... do we even get double drops for those at some point? i HOPE HOPE HOPE we get another wrothgar event.
i'm most likely out of it.
i realized its time to stop all the multiple endless grindings, when i was in a random dungeon recently and didnt even check for uncollected parts at the end.
was fun so far, but maybe too much changed at once for me.
good luck to all of you, you gonna need it
I stopped actively farming a while ago, and just grabbing the occasional piece whenever i do pledges or a trial with friends. The grind is just overwhelming to be honest towards the end. IT goes super fast when you get body peices? and even the first few weapons in each set. But when you get it down to 60/70% of each set and then to 80, progress goes to MAYBE each run of a dungeon one of the four people get something, and maybe that person will give it to you.... but by now, unless that person is your friend, and THAT person is not collecting too, they are not going to give it to you. You have to really be on top of watching the drops, looking for chests, you basically need to be doing it on vet if you want decent chest drops too.
It is exciting to see a new piece drop, and a lot more relaxing to just not be actively going into a dungeon to get gear and instead some other goal so it feels less grindy. Especially now when there is CP to grind etc.
