I think the shout outs for drops should include the monster that dropped said item.

 

So instead of 

 

[player name] received [item] as a drop! (kill#xxx)

 

i would suggest it to say

 

[player name] received [item] as a drop! *from* [monster name] (kill#xxx)

 

I believe this will help the community as a whole but mainly newer players. When I started I always wondered what someone killed to get say a zenyte shard. it would be a useful tool for newer players to learn what drops what.

 

Thanks for the read please leave feedback!

 

p.s. sorry if this has been suggested recently.

Support.

 

I think it'd be more impressive to see someone get a rare drop from a smaller mob.

 

If there's a chance we could get this in, it'd make for better reactions.

Support! Seems like it would be simple to add as well as not being game changing, Would be a nice QOL update.

Aside from Skotizo, I'm pretty sure everyone knows the drops and where they would get them from. However I don't see this is as a bad thing so I'm neutral on it.

Plenty of more appropriate things to be worked on :D.

I'd disagree, all GWD bosses/most slayer bosses have minions/smaller mobs that have access to their rare drops at a much lower drop rate. This would allow us to see how much bigger of a deal it would be getting an Arma Chainskirt from Arma vs a minion

Neutral.

 

It is not the worst idea and it's pretty helpful for new players so that they will know which monster drop the certain items. But then again, there's the staff, 'Alora' CC and even the general players that can help you on answering all your questions  :PepeKkay:

this is true but I just feel like this would be an extra tool to save someone a little time and help learn without having to ask. or search too hard. I know when I first started I would see random items pop up and think damn what drops that but not in a manner that was worth asking anyone ya know just a general knowledge kinda thing

Not a bad idea, and something we've considered as well, but it would make some announcements too long to fit in one line.

  • Old:
    • Omicron received 1 x Abyssal whip as a drop! (Kill #13)
  • New:
    • Omicron received 1 x Abyssal whip from an Abyssal demon (Kill #13)!
  • New (2):
    • ​Omicron received 1x Abyssal whip from Abyssal demon! (#13)

Especially when monster names, item names and player names are longer than usual, it'll take up two lines on yell. The 3rd sentence above seems like a decent option, removing the "Kill" from the brackets and the "an" before the monster name to shorten it, but it will definitely still take two lines sometimes. It might just look a bit ugly at times, but we'll try it out and see how it looks.
