Jamba-Quest (0.5) option screen - opinions requested.

[an0mali]

That sounds like that would effectively do the same idea =)

Only reason I thought of it was because I had turned on "Accept ANY quest" thinking it would make things easier while questing, but then when I stepped in WG raid someone shared the collection quest that I didn't want to do, so I ended up finding it in my log later on and abandoning it and turning off the "Accept ANY quest" after realizing that it did, indeed, accept ANY quest. LoL. Sounds like you've got a good alternative solution in mind =D

*Edit*

I can see in the screenshot, "Slave chooses same reward as Master".
Does the other option, "If Slave reward selected......" behave the same as, do not mirror the master's selection?

Yes; you can infer the opposite like you do:

If a slave reward is NOT selected; the quest will NOT be automatically completed.

Do you think this needs to be more obvious?

YES definately,

make it like
* Slave chooses same reward as master
* Slave MUST choose own reward

---

It is a bit in comprehensive in the current version 0.4d or so, IMHO

Jamba us simply AWESOME !!! keep up the superb work!

* Slave MUST choose own reward

you can also add a feature with a modifier key .. :

"slaves MUST choose own reward BUT will choose master's reward if shift key is pressed" something like that

OK, based on your feedback so far, here is what I have come up with for quest completion. The other quest options are essentially the same as the previous screenshot. Hopefully it's a lot clearer now.

not sure how hard it would be but the picking of the quest reward would be nice if you set a mod key for another besides the main example
main is pally i may pick this reward
other 4 are shammies could pick reward on one shammie screen and they all repeat what it picked
not sure if this is poss or not this is a really great program btw

I've been reading feedback about the quest acceptance parts of Jamba and come up with the following UI. Thoughts?

HOLY HELL, that is beyond awesome and perfect. Thank you so much. Now, if I can ask one more, can you put that choice (focus/leader/master) as an option for quest completion? So if I have an alt, I complete a quest with a non-master, the alt will do what the (focus/leader/master) does? In other words, can we put in focus/leader/master instead of just master? I know I am annoying for having mixed groups. I don't mean to make messes, but I have a tailor that is 60 and I need to level him to 65 to be able to level up his profession. For 5 levels, I need to quest with him, take flightpaths, do dailies, etc. He would be my main char with other alts following him around. He is not part of a team. He is usually not in a group (since it drains exp). I have him focused on my alts. They won't take his flightpath. They won't complete quests when he does. I group for a hard elite quest and share it from him and the alts don't accept it. The alts are expecting RandomChar2 to be the master and they don't want to do what the focus does, they want to do what RandomChar2 does. It seems messy to make him in a team that isn't going to keep him. It seems messy to make him master when he isn't going to stay.

I play with him for a few hours and then want to do something else with another char. I want to farm some cloth on my mixed team. Again, different main (so tailor guy can get rest and he isn't a good fighter). The alts don't use the main's flightpath or pick up the daily quest along with him, since he isn't their master. He doesn't need to be in a team, he is only for farming. He isn't going to stay around. But the quest option doesn't work since he is a focus/leader not a master. The alts won't take his fightpath since he isn't their master.

TLDR: I am asking for a way to use focus/leader/master to be used instead of just master for at least fightpaths/complete quests/accepting quests. Thanks. And I do love your addon. Thanks. /bow

If you have a look at the text at the top of that screen shot, I know its TL and a bit small, but it says that any toon in your team will be treated as the master for quest accepting / completing / other random quest things. So when you read 'Master' substitute that for 'anyone in the team' and 'slaves' for the 'rest of your team'.

With the settings in the screenshot, if you start a quest with one team member (not necessarily the master), that team member will share the quest with other team members who automatically accept it.

Likewise with quest completion, any team member can be the master for quest completion.

I will make sure the taxi can be controlled by any team member as well.

So, that still leaves the problem of having a booster outside of the team. My answer to that is add that character to the team for the duration of the 5 levels (I know that you don't want to do that, but ...). Jamba 0.5 can handle offline characters in the same team without you having to change anything. So you could have one massive team with all your toons in it and Jamba will ignore the offline ones. Jamba 0.5 is also going to have profile support.

Ideally I'd like to make it as easy as possible for you to have different leaders and still have all your toons in the Jamba team.

A couple of things: You should be able to change masters easily with the slash commands, team members do not have to be in a party to work together.

Question is, will that work for you?

0.5 Team window - see that Yasprie is offline.

Yes. That will work. I am so sorry, I feel bad. You take time to make a mod and I ask for lolipops on Tuesdays but only after a Monday that is a holiday. Thank you. I noticed text up there, but I didn't read it. Sorry. I didn't want to make a lot of work for you, just trying to make things easier for me. I appreciate what you have built and want to thank you for updating it. :thumbsup:

Looks great Jafula! I really like Jamba and have come to rely on it.

The one thing I might suggest for the future is having the quest features separate for dailies and regular quests. I think the dailies are marked differently so this would be possible? I would likely choose follow master for the dailies but not for regular quests. Maybe it's a moot point at L80 since I am not sure I actually do any quests beyond the dailies anymore.

Also, I use a mod called Questitembar. This makes a bar with all quest items. I found this to be quite useful for dailies etc. My dailies macro takes care of most of my needs but there are cases where I still use the questitembar. I noticed this in another quest tracker addon that I have but don't know where it was from since I disabled it (maybe questhelper? dunno). Maybe this is beyond the scope of Jamba.

Anyway, keep up the awesome work. I for one appreciate it.
