[dev 1015] Adding Visual Identifiers for a Pyxis: "Pyxis Labels" and More

No, Wish was referring to your sig, lol.

I doubt wish even looking at your drawings tbh.

In that case, my apologies to you then /bow. I was almost surprised that Wish took the time out to actually look the examples, but if he/she actually is referring to my sig, then oh well. ^^

His/Her right to have an opinion about such things, doesn't bother me either way.

Again, sorry to snap at'cha if it was towards my sig.

Why not just ask for an easy identifier for every type of chest. Like time chests are now blue, cruor pruple, time indigo, amber lights are now offyellow/brown, ruby are red, azure can be azure, items chests can all stay gold. This is way easier to implement and more useful then labeling them.


EDIT:: I meant your sig, I didnt look at any picture you posted because I had not yet read the thread, and there is no [img] tag =/
Sorry for the confusion.

Great idea! I'd take this as a fix too. Simple and effective. See what happens when you read the post? lol

thanks for the feedback /

Unless I missed when they start allowing us to imbed images in our post, those example links are the best I can do for now. Again, you have the right to your opinion on the Sig. ^^

/Check <t>
scroll down to peek inside the chest and we see the contents
--STAY IN THE MENU SYSTEM---
"Attempt to open chest" -->start the manual chest open sequence, staying in the menu system until we succeed, fail, or giveup.
"Open with a Forbidden Key"-->receive items and exit, or stay in the menu to add to lottable spoils, take items (again, staying in the menus system until we've taken all items or exited ourselves)
"Destroy the chest"-->chest is destroyed and get the cruor reward

As it is now, you have to check it multiple times to get through all the steps. This presents the bulk of the problem when the chests are spawning on top of each other.

Agree completely with this idea but i'd like to see one other change:
Have the peak between the crack option removed and have the information you would get from the peak told to you when you click it the first time before the menu comes up. Then you can just choose to destroy, open with key, or screw around with guesses if people even bother to still do it other than for the blue chest quest.

We just key toss all blue boxes when cleaving. I don't think this is a needed update at all.

I also wish you wouldn't change your sig so often Kingfury, it requires so much effort on my part to ad-block them.

Again.. overcomplicating it. If you are popping all blues but the 2hr blue, then that's a no brainer which ones are the 2hrs.

If someone is checking the boxes and not popping them.. than all they need to do is stand by the freaking chest. Same goes for a gold--"<key item> in gold @ me... random to pop".

In all seriousness...as a general rule (barring someone is new to aby and has no cruor yet) NO ONE should be attending a fell cleave without keys. Even in the event it is someone new, they WILL get cruor quickly, and SHOULD go get keys. It is a REQUIREMENT FOR ATTENDANCE in our shells that you use no less than 100 keys. If someone sees a TE, unless there is an issue of someone being dead or not in zone yet that desperately needs the TE--they should just pop the freaking thing. Same goes for ruby chests--if you make it clear what is wanted from them, they can just pop them or destroy them as well.

Actually, the person needs to be in the zone at the time the chest drops in order to get TE.

the point is there should almost never be a reason for someone not to pop a TE chest as soon as it is spotted.

In the general sense, there should be no reason for anyone inspecting chests to not have the options to pop it, destroy it, or stand by it to mark it for someone else to claim the R/E items inside it-- a blue 2hr can simply be left unpopped for the melee's to use. The key is giving clear instructions as to what is wanted.
