Game Mechanics Minor Lootrunning QoLs (Least Amount of Words in a General Suggestion Challenge)

(Cave progress bars are removed, and the center nametag changes to "Spelunk" during a lootrun for consistency)​

(The "Least Amount of Words Challenge" isn't real I just felt like SCP-2521's document today and wanted to see how effective pure images are at getting an idea across)​

 

when i fall asleep at night, i dream dreams of a wynncraft where the purple emerald is on the CT

 

This would take hella dev time, considering players currently lootrunning still share the same world as players that aren't lootrunning.

I'm a fan of QoL changes though, and this is really nice.

Maybe make the health bar green to make it stand out against enemy mob health bars, making it much easier to keep track of.

oh god please use words I was confused for like 5 minutes

but yes, nice QoL changes! very epic10char moment

 

I definitely see merit in that, but the blue health bar is consistent with other entities that you have to defend (like the key-bearer dude from Undergrowth Ruins)

 

Blue is the color of the name, not the health bar. But yeah blue name color is consistent which is nice

 

Actually I chose blue because that’s the color of the health bar at the top of the screen, I just figured that was the color scheme of the defend challenge

________________________________

I tried a couple of others, some in an attempt to fit the Wynncraft mob style while at the same time adding a small lootrun spin to it, but I ultimately just got rid of the mob level because visual functionality was a little bit more important than Wynncraft mob aesthetic

also because jeez these are ugly as hell



I ended up settling on the one you see at the top post, which is a healthy and acceptable mix of both

What does this have to do with anything related to dev time

 

It's bc the texts on cave entrances would have to be swapped based on whether you're lootrunning or not. Their current setup probably won't support that right now, and would require a bit of additional code in order to be possible and repeatable.

Oh yeah, no health bar in the game has ever been blue.

I'll say though, I kinda like it. Not for defend objectives specifically, I just like how it looks in general.

 

Why would the nametags on cave entrances be different from like, enemies that spawn in and out of lootruns or armor stand structures that appear in lootruns and are otherwise invisible to others? Same with the particle rings, even though they’re not entities

 

My point is, I don't think they're made with a "don't show up for a player" setting. Ik it's possible to make cave labels disappear from certain players. I just don't think they're made with a custom tag that allows them to be "toggled". Adding said tag would be the part that would require dev time.

Anyway I don't think this is a matter worth arguing. The change is still possible.

But yes, the proposed changes are nice!

 

But the progress bars change by player? And class?

 

...I know it's possible. In fact, it's easy!

I don't want to explain myself about this anymore. Let's make room for other conversations now.

 

Idk shit about game development, but WC has so many client side features for lootruns already (beacons, challenge rings, challege mobs, etc.), would it be any harder to give caves a client side title for lootruns?

 

Bump because I want to hear thoughts

 

oopsy LOL. yeah i mean the name, not the bar :P

 

When the me is bump
