Alert - Game Play Related
So, all the things you can easily look up and discover by going into the archievment tab and should just spam you if you are somewhere or anyway near something you might need.
I see a big problem here:
- Constant WvW spam
- Constant PvP spam
- Constant spam from several collections in HoT (like specialization collection)
- Constant spam from overalapping archievments
- Constant Daily spam
- etc…
With so many overlapping things in that area of the game and the ability to access them from anywhere, you will get a constant flood of information, that might not even interest you at the moment.
Ironicly if you filter out what information you don’t want to get, you have to go through all the archievments anyway, to tick them off and activate the ones you want, so you are actually looking your desired ones up anyway.
Furthermore all the stuff you mentioned is designed to get you into the areas, for you to seek out.
You want QoL and to passively gain everything by wandering around it seems.
1) Bosses etc. are usually described in their archievment. If you want it, look it up and go there. It’s not that hard. More so, you will get the archievment anyway if you do these events, so how is a range alert and improvement, aside from the fact, that you might not doing the event?
2) Dungeon Archievment tells you exactly what you are missing. LFG let’s you exactly formulate or look for certain dungeons and paths. If you want to do dungeons, open LFG and look. An alert won’t change much, because even if you get alerted, you might only be informed of a starting group and have to wait half an hour to have it filled, making the alarm rather useless.
3) Bosses are on an shedule. You are asking for a Bosstimer and your problem is more along getting into the right map to do that archievment, instead on being there on time.
4) Kinda takes the fun out of it. You are already told where and who has the item. If you want it, wiki or search it. Sure a proximity inndicator would be nice, but why should everything be GPS today?
I get your concerns, but in a wiki world, I enjoy a bit of searching and mystery for myself.
Everything is allready a checklist enough already.
