Progression Thread Beta Feedback

Virex · 02-25-2008, 02:23 AM

A few weeks ago I started bothering Domona(Dominisa) about possibly modifying the progression thread. Long story short she has asked me to take over updating the thread (reasons are completely unrelated to me bothering her).

I was trying to condense the amount of information while updateing the format slightly so it wasn't such a long list(like all the other servers have it). Keep in mind that BBC is extremely painful in general when it comes to what you can and can't due. But this is what I have so far (it was made weekish ago so it's not up to date, just posting for feedback purposes):

Also things that would be added would be guild links and what not. Since alot of the information on the chart would be new (Last Kill, individual bosses ect) it would have to be updated with that information. Again, this is just a beta version for feedback.

The biggest thing that I see that would be missing is first kills. Which I could add in under the table (basically the same list) if it's needed. That question is mainly directed at Reve since they own them all atm. Is being on top good enough (thus implying all the first kills) or do you want me to keep a list under with all the dates?

Any feedback is appreciated. As well as lemme know if you guys prefer the more commonly used "list" style (I know alot of people had problems with how big it was getting) let me know as well. Will do what ever people want.

Thanks again guys.

It's simple and easy to follow, but unappealing and doesn't offer any ego gratification the top 3 guilds, let alone the top guild that server firsts everything. That's as important as keeping track of the kills. So try again with something that illustrates the awesomeness of Revelations.

Iboo: How do you feel about "O's"

Ashmoria: It's essentially a list of server standings, how can that not "show the awesomeness of Revelations?"

holy shit my eyes are bleeding

Any idea why I can't edit my original post anymore?

And is this any better?

It doesn't illustrate any server in a blantantly obvious way, like spelling it out in text. This is an important part of marking EQ2 progression, and for reminding other guilds of their place on the Unrest Raiding Food Chain (tm). I recommend putting Revelations in giant pink letters. Preferably with sparkleys. Let 'em know who's the butch.... I mean boss around here.

Deadberry · 02-25-2008, 04:08 AM

I prefer the old way. That seriously makes my eyes hurt.

Lorak · 02-25-2008, 05:45 AM

This is how they do it in WoW.

I, personally, think it looks nice, condensed, easy to see everything at once and compare guilds at a glance without having to scroll down 3 pages. The lack of ego stroking is good, too. If a guild wants to make their own progression thread where they put all their own kills in bright pink sparkly letters, let em go for it.

By the way, there's a curse with people who run progression threads on this server, they always end up quitting the game. Sometimes they come back, though.
