Add a counter for other numerical goals

i think there should be a counter (similar to unique crafts/spy on X unique mobs) for:

- X unique foods
- X unique hostiles
- 100 mobs
- 20 arthropods
- 30 undeads

the logic being: why does X unique crafts and spy on X unique mobs have the counter but these other goals don't?

idk about other numerical goals like sprint 1km, take 200 dmg, compost X foods, etc. at some point there could be too many counters and it would be excessive and you would lose track of what you're counting, but overall i think this would be a good change

oh was this a repost?

MSCOP2 months ago

@pinkpuff where was the original post

blanket addict2 months ago

I think if it's chat messages and not dings you could do it for a lot of goals

blanket addict2 months ago

my gut says do it for compost foods but not sprint 1km or take 200 damage

EliteMaster2 months ago

Nah i dont like chat message, i like the message that crafts/spyglass gives (i forgot what its called)

EliteMaster2 months ago

Chat is in the corner and theres already advancements and ur chat with the opponent (if any)

blanket addict2 months ago

doesn't crafts have a chat message every 5 crafts that's what I was thinking

blanket addict2 months ago

whatever that thing is is what I think the other goals should do

MSCOP2 months ago

yeah, it would be the same system for crafts and spyglass but for other goals

EliteMaster2 months ago

oh that, its not called chat message so i thought u meant like actual chat message mb

EliteMaster2 months ago

yea i like that too, i agree

EliteMaster2 months ago

i think crafts is every 5, spyglass is every one

MSCOP2 months ago

crafts is every one, but its like in a weird place above the hotbar

MSCOP2 months ago

i think it's the same w spyglass but i'm not sure

EliteMaster2 months ago

i wanna say its called activator bar or smth idk

EliteMaster2 months ago

ok i tested it, it tells u every 5 in chat but every one above hotbar

EliteMaster2 months ago

i feel like chat would become too clogged if it told u every 5 for all the counters

MSCOP2 months ago

yeah

MSCOP2 months ago

idk about composter cuz the maximum is 7 and i dont think a counter for that would be necessary

AeroGelo2 months ago

maybe there could be counters in the tab menu? i think it would be nice for smth like sprint 1k

EliteMaster2 months ago

for composter u cud show how many left

EliteMaster2 months ago

cuz thats pretty easy to remember

blanket addict2 months ago(edited)

I don't think it's necessary just feels consistent to me with X unique foods

Threadfinn2 months ago

I really don't don't think this is even helpful for anything except the ones listed in the post. If you can't count to 5 foods then there's no way you know specifically which 5 foods you have to compost.

Threadfinn2 months ago

What I don't like about this is that it reduces the skill of keeping track of and remembering what's on the board. For example, you might've entirely forgotten about kill 30 arthropods, but then you kill 1 spider and hear a ding/see a chat message and now you decide to go for it.

MSCOP2 months ago

thats what i said idk if its necessary for composting foods

MSCOP2 months ago

or 5 foods for that matter

MSCOP2 months ago

maybe theres something that can be done in which it only applies for goals that have 5+ of something

MSCOP2 months ago(edited)

you can just look at the board for 20 arthropods?? and you'll remember??

Threadfinn2 months ago

So then why do you need a counter? You can just count count to 20 and you'll know how many you've killed.

Threadfinn2 months ago

But I assume you've at least a couple times had an opponent get a goal that you didn't even realize was on the board.

Threadfinn2 months ago

Having a counter removes that from these goals

MSCOP2 months ago

why would you need a counter for 20 spyglass?

MSCOP2 months ago

you can just count the mobs

Threadfinn2 months ago

Only because sometimes they aren't detected due to desync. So you count it but the game didn't. You don't have that with killing spiders. Also spyglass the counter isn't reminding you of the goal, if you have a spyglass you clearly know the goal is there.

Threadfinn2 months ago

Tbh I don't think spyglass needs it but it's more fun and it doesn't hurt anything because of what I said above.

MSCOP2 months ago

yeah that's what i'm saying

MSCOP2 months ago

it doesn't hurt to have a counter for the goals listed above

Threadfinn2 months ago

It removes a skill

blanket addict2 months ago

I don't think removing a skill is bad necessarily and in this case I don't think it's that great of a skill

blanket addict2 months ago

there's enough to keep track of and factor in to decision making already, I feel like the aspect of not instantly knowing if you've doubled up or not knowing how far you are along on a goal without checking aren't fun or interesting skills

blanket addict2 months ago

I also think that making progress on tracking goals more visible is good for viewers

MSCOP2 months ago

also i would imagine it's just Counting mobs for the instance of 20 arthropods

MSCOP2 months ago(edited)

how is that a fun or interesting or a necessary skill for numerical goals when there's already a lot happening

MSCOP2 months ago

rephrased sorry

isawabelle2 months ago

i think craft unique and spyglass have counters as feedback when you get progress, since its hard to know if a craft was actually new or if u were close enough to spyglass a mob
they also have bigger numbers so showing all your progress when hovering on the board would be a lot harder

idk i wouldnt be against having a counter for some goals, but it doesnt really feel that necessary and might feel overwhelming tbh to have chat messages/dings for a lot more goals

blanket addict2 months ago(edited)

I think for arthropods and undeads and 100 mobs you just do it in increments of 5

blanket addict2 months ago

and for the unique goals you do it every new unique

pinkpuff2 months ago

I swear i saw one a few days ago but maybe it got deleted cuz now i cant find it . Or it came to me in a dream idk. I agree though so w/e
