On naming tiers and filtering/ping level

qqkookie opened this issue · 0 comments

Currently d2lootfilrer filtering names high valued items as Tier 1 and ping level 1, and lower value items as Tier 6 and ping level 6.

IMHO this naming scheme should be revered as lower value item as tier 1 and minimal filtering as ping level 1 and high value item and very aggressive filtering to be Tier 6 and ping level 6. Higher tier should mean higher valued item and more aggressive filtering.

Reason for such reversal is future expandability. As user get more experienced in Diablo and filtering, user will feel need of more detailed level expansion (more than 6 tier) Then Tier 1 is top tier as current scheme, there is no head room to expand in higher value tiers and whole tier system should be revised to make head room for advanced tier. Naming top tier as tier 6 solves such problem. Just adding more advanced tier will be much eaier without rewriting whole filtering file. So Default PingLevel should be leve 1 and ChatNotify should used like ChatNotify "Ping Level" <= 2 which is same as ChatNotify "Pig Level" >= 5 in current scheme.
