Expo Idea Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

Now please dont hate me for this its just an idea ;]

Heres my idea Smile

When you start a expedetion xxxhydra,golem.. the game could send the whole clan a message like this saying that you have started one:

XXX has started a xxx expedetion in the spidery casm or something else... and it could have a picture of the expo mob

Please give me your thumbs up or down Smile

Thumb Down! Reply to this Post Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Posts Report Post to a Moderator       Go to the top of this page

Thumb down. Instead of massive spam of messages, I'd prefer the way it is now and expect people to make the one single click on 'Expedition' and check themselves and/or the one who starts the expo should invest a bit of effort to send out messages or organize a team.

Snap with Diablo.

Clan messages for expos are fine as they are.. its just lazyness to want an option to click a clan message that sends it out and says what your doing.

And also in larger clans peoples inboxes could be filled with people starting 2man Phoenix's or Whites which would definately be a hassle so yeah I think its fine at the moment but its not the worst expo themed idea ever been suggested Wink

nah i dn't think its a very good idea either, specially as these av said already, the spam would be just stupid and you should have organised a team, or you PM people for an expo .... or send a clan message out yourself, it is just laziness

thumbs down from moi Big Grin

As it is, i'd give it a thumbs down too.


BUT how about if it only sent out clan messages to just those who are online at the time?

i'd have to give it a thumbs down also, mainly for the 2/3man reason.
maybe if there were box or something, that said "send a starting-expedition clan message" with a box you could tick. but again... that would be alot of needless effort.

in theory it shouldnt be needed. in theory also, you should have a team before starting the expo and you could just pm the team to join

i disagree with this idea because if people organised their expos properly, it would be pointless

thumbs down from me to much spam but it could be usefull in smaller clans maybe if you added it as an option so the guildmaster could enable/disable it then have a box that you could check when starting the expo

that way big clans where it would create loads of needless spam can disable it and small clansw that need everyone to join in on there expos could enable it

Thats a good idea Smile

I agree with everyone that it would create loads of needless messages but it could be usefull for lower clans

another idea would be to have it on the side bar like messages so when theres an expo on it shows (1) by it

example

Begin a quest
Expedition (3)
Tasks

that way you can see how many expos are running without actually having to check the expo page

Hmm ok we can tweak this.. thats not a bad idea.

You could have a section in the settings.. where you either click "Accept" or "Not Accept"

If you do accept then you could get the messages and if you dont accept youl just not receive them even when people do send the messages.

about expos...
there s should be a minimum reward for low lvls that take part on expos which are higher than them. they still contribute as meat shield but get no xp.
the xps should be given by % of the dmg done / total dmg done, maybe with some penalty reduction for being too low (or too high). getting zero xp and losing the ability to participate in another expo for a whole day sux! At least, if u get 0 xp in a successful expo, you should get to participate in another one sooner than 1 day, maybe in half time.
Also, how about having the option of sending invites to currently online members (instead of waiting for if and when they ll see a running expo). Those who ll get the invite may have a warning like:
Begin a quest
Expedition (Phoenix y/n)
Tasks

Hell no, just means having to click "Delete All" more often. There's enough nonsense sent around most clans imo without even more automated messages clogging up inboxes

i dont think you got/read my idea there are no messages involved just a number by the expo tab saying how many there are currently running which in no way will clog up your inbox but it will make it easier for low level clans who accept everyone to there expos

i didn't mean the invite to be in your inbox, but rather as a warning sent only to the current online eligible players, which would appears next to their "expedition" button.

Which goes back to the top of the thread where we spoke about spam Smile
How would you get rid of the number that would appear next to the ''expedition'' button?

For example in BoS, we don't even send clan messages about expos, everything is organized among the players themselves. This means that we have to put more effort into organizing expos, but none of us has (too much) spam in our inboxes.

why would you need to get rid of the number? even if it is already organized if its on 3 whilst your organizing it when you next see it and its gone to 4 you know its probably the expo your meant to be joining

but if you really dont want the number there it could dissappear once youve joined an expo (ie cant join another)
or you could have a tickbox by the expo []mark this expo as seen
or maybe an option in settings

edit: oops dont think you meant that to me but theres a few options anyway
