Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hey there,

My first suggestion in over 8 years of playing and enjoyment would be to tweak the current ways in which Meta Level 1-4 items are listed. I know they have just gone through a renaming but this would take that improvement one step further and, IMHO, should've been implemented a long time ago

My suggestion is that CCP simply add the same "flash" to the top left corner of an items icon that Tech II and Faction have. Make it a blue triangle (or some other colour) and use M1, M2, M3 and M4 to show it's Meta Level. Easy on the eye and will remove the need to open Notepad to check the level of Prototype Vs Experimental etc.

Please like this post to give it a +1 f you think it's a valid idea and let's get these items brought into line before they all run rangoon again :0)

Thanks for reading.

My Memory Implant didn't help with remembering the colours we already use but you get the gist. what about red. I like red

* Bump bump * Just to get other peoples ideas

it's way better than renaming everything and breaking all the XML loadouts you have saved and forcing us to learn new item names.

I support this idea.

I don't care about the color, but, hell, it would be so convenient !

yeah, the pointless renaming of things pisses me off massively but its a different question.

Sure, if by “for no apparent reason” you mean “to provide an immediately available notification of meta level”… you know, kind of what you're asking for here?

Corner-tagging everything just becomes overly busy at some point. Right now each “meta group” has its own tag (T1, T2, faction, deadspace, officer) and then, each of those groups has its own naming convention for how relatively high meta each item is. Trying to cram all that information into a tag just creates a situation where you have too many tags to keep track of.

As it is, you already have the meta column in just about any item view (and with the upcoming unified inventory, this will probably become even more useful) if you need to really separate one level from another.

I suppose, but it's still fairly well handled by the meta column in the list view, and since you can set up the different views to show different things, you can already fairly quickly switch between having different kinds of information available. After all, even with the tag, you still wouldn't be able to sort by meta in icon view, and had to go into list view where the information can already be shown in a far more efficient manner.

They don't — that's their tag. No tag → meta < 5.
