TOPIC | Indicator of exalted dergs in lineage
1 2 3
When I wanna check in on hatchlings I've bred and sold, I find it a hassle to open them all up in a bunch of tabs just to find out if they've been exalted. It would be nice if we could see, at a glance, if a derg in the lineage is still active or not. Maybe they could be highlighted a different color, or have a strikethrough line, or something as simple as a symbol by their names. Example: [img]https://i.imgur.com/yRakIRv.png[/img] Just any sort of visual indicator so we know if our dergs' relatives have been exalted or not. It would be much appreciated!

I see two issues with this, one that could be solved relatively easily and one not

1. Not everyone cares about exalted dragons and wouldn't want their offspring lists visually cluttered with symbols, changed colors or whatever was used. This is however easily bypassed by making it a toggle.

2. This one isn't so easily fixed, and that is, this could make exalting even less favorable to some than it is now. Right now, the only way to know if a dragon has offspring exalted is to go check on them. With this, players who dislike exalted offspring can easily see which offspring have been exalted and could get upset (which results in them potentially making suggestions about exalting etc..)

Rather than something drastic like a highlight or symbol, I'd rather see something subtle like a slightly more grey text than non-exalted. Something that will let you differentiate quickly if you look but not massively stick out if you just glance [img]https://imgur.com/rjWvH8N.png[/img] A toggle would probably be necessary though to prevent the problems already mentioned in the thread. But it'd be a helpful option if you feel like checking up on random offspring for fun, so I support the general idea.

I'd support either way, tired of scrolling through and clicking every name of my dragons kiddos

One thing to keep in mind is this may not be technically possible due to lag concerns as previously the admins did previously attempt to allow people to hide the exalted offspring on their list, and that didn't even last an hour because of the horrendous lag.

If there was going to be some visual indicator for exalted offspring, this would most certainly have to be a toggle. I absolutely would not want a strike through, symbol or different color for my exalted offspring as I like a rather uniform looking offspring list. I suspect that if players could automatically see who was exalted due to a visual indicator it could increase the exalt drama (as there is a portion of the site that is anti-exalting)

Personally I would prefer to be able to completely customize offspring lists over just being able to mark or filter exalted offspring

nah, i'd much rather not have a bunch of X's or differently colors names on my offspring lists.

No support from me - if it could be toggle-able, I'd just immediately toggle it off because I don't care to know which of my dragons have been exalted. I know that it's at least 75% of all the dragons I've ever bred, which would be a bit depressing to see. I'm not that bothered about the fate of dragons I've sold on - out of sight, out of mind - but to have a visual reminder that most of my hatchlings are "out of the game" would be an annoyance.

Maybe something like a tooltip if players hovered over the dragon's name? That way it doesn't need a toggle, is there if you want to see it, and doesn't interfere with the appearance of offspring lists.

It could be the same tooltip as when you hover over a dragon in the AH, perhaps with an additional line at the bottom indicating either "Exalted - (Deity)" or "(Name)'s Clan"/"(Flight) Clan".

I'd love a toggle like that - would be interesting to see if any are still around :D I always sell them as fodder though, so...

i'd like a toggle most likely, as having a visible indicator on my dragon with lyrics in his offspring list might look weird if there were a bunch of Xes after them... i'd say on a per dragon basis but that might be really laggy
i'd love to hide offspring though because i bought him off of someone else and he already had hatchlings so my lyrics offspring list has a bunch of unrelated dragons first gdfhfdgsh
