Mimir[IS] Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 [font="Calibri"][size="3"]A non affiliated user db with mobs locations, mob drops, etc. would be great. It could be user supported having all the things missing from the official db.[/size][/font] [size="3"][font="Calibri"]For example: I found such and such, I send you the item and location and what dropped it. You then update the db. [/font][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheezeBaal Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I thought there was something out there like that already but ok, thats an option. I know very little about setting something like that up so if anyone wants to jump in let me know. right now it's just sitting there.

Tienbau Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 looks like this one is using the plundered database from early last year, way out of date. I think Mimir is looking for something that is more current, and updated by users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redd Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 That was suppose to be the user updated database but not popular and ya it was mostly mimicked from a different out dated database. Part of the problem people go to out dated (established) sites like arsenal (I think because it looks pretty) but it to is outdated and they dont know any better. Personally I like the net-7.org method of saying its in game or not and letting me go find it hehe. But to each their own I guess. I just wish net-7.org could reflect actual in/out of game not (hidden drops) as if its tied to any mob accessible or not it says that leaving to the great mystery. And there are even some that arent tied to any mob yet they say they drop somewhere. Again all rare instances but hey make do with what I have to work with I suppose.

Either way we the players get the answer we need so no harm no foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just isn't enough players interested in registering a drop when they find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried registering on drpzone, but I never got the registration e-mail, so I can't look into the update functionallity, but it may lack at least some of the following features I think would help get users: - Date of entry for all drops entered to get an idea of how old the data is when you look something up. - Easy and fast way to add new drops. - Even easier and faster way to confirm drop with count and date to get an idea of how many has seen a drop and how long ago... - Used by everyone that contributes to user updated databases, or exchange between all user updated databases.
