• Gameplay:Aim For The Idol's Road ~MeiP's Idol Production Strategy~ BBDW Event#Event Quests

To Do

(More info on each below)

• Fill in missing quests
• Create a way to track enemies and bosses
• Rearrange the information in the BBDW Quest template so it's easier to use at a glance
• Slim down the BBDW Quest template as needed

Missing Quests

• BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War/Quests - in general, most story quests and any recent or new event quests too

Track enemies and bosses

Right now we've just been tracking enemy element, but it may be of interest to track individual enemies as well. We don't have a template or anything set up for this yet.

So far, we've confirmed that enemies have names (long-press the enemy's sprite in battle-not its HP bar-and its status information and name will pop up). They're mostly generic from what I've seen, but I haven't looked in detail.

Rearrange info in BBDW Quest template

I think we should try to answer the question: What information do people want to know about a quest when they glance through the quest list?

For now, since there's so many quests to list on a page, I borrowed what BBDW does in-game and hid all quest information except for quest level, AP cost, location, and name. However, this probably isn't the best format for quests and maybe it would be better to hide and show different sets of information. Any input on this is welcome.

Slim down the BBDW Quest template

The MEMORIES RESTORATION event page also hit its post-expand include size limit since the BBDW Quest template was too bulky. This limit restricts how much text can be transcluded onto a page (i.e. by templates), after which templates on the page won't be processed. In practice, it just means some templates will be broken on the page, but this is very poor for readability.

So I had to spend some time (Twitter link) slimming down the BBDW Quest template and even now it might still be a concern for pages that will have a great number of quests on it.

So, one suggestion I had was to remove the quest clear bonus at the bottom of the template since it looks about the same for every quest and put it on one of the BBDW guides pages somewhere instead.

Of course there's also the saying "don't fix something that's not broken" so we don't have to tackle this until the issue crops up again, but just in case it does, I'd like people to be aware.
