Tower of Doom map, resurrected

Tower of Doom map will reveal rooms if cleared by Guild members

The issue: Players use 3rd party community-made tools to track Tower of Doom rooms to help each other within the Guild target rewards. This required players to leave the game to do so.

The suggestion: Update the Map UI to show which rooms have been cleared by another Guild member and the rewards available.

The outcome: Still currently investigating the scope of this. Will share an ETA once we have one.

“will share an eta” when I have one

I have a zone-mapping version of the Tower map up at https://sidbushes.com/gems/tower/ . Note that this is a separate URL from the “normal” map (tower2 instead of tower), because I don’t want to risk introducing bugs to the “normal” map during a Tower week. Also note that it shows the same data—you won’t have to re-enter your rooms.

The zone map only appears in “wide” view and is pretty much a direct implementation of your suggestion, @Zuul-Emo. Since “wide” view is already wide, making it a little wider is NBD. I’ll need to think of a different approach for “narrow” view. I restricted the scroll selections in the early levels, too, e.g. Fireball isn’t available until floor 7.

There are some odd visual bugs I haven’t figured out yet but the functionality seems solid. Those who are willing, try it out.

Updated for full release, see post below.

Just checked it out and it looks great. I’ll definitely use it. Thanks.

All three views have scroll-zone information displayed now.

• “Wide” is as seen before.
• “Narrow” is the same width but a little taller: the Doom-room rewards are shown for floors 1–25. This makes it match with the other views, but more importantly it gives a little extra space to put the zone indicators below the floor numbers. “L ?” means the Luck scroll for that floor’s zone hasn’t been found yet, similarly for Fireball and Heroism. The indicator disappears from the zone’s floors after the corresponding scroll has been found.
• “Tower Floor” adds a panel below the floor-image.

Normally the maps become read-only after Tower week is over. I have this disabled so that people can make changes and see how the scroll-zone info changes in response.
Back to normal as another Tower week is about to start.

soonTM

How about some more spoilers in general about what might be part of the next update? We players love spoilers, and it saves you the time trying to figure out where they might have come from.

Well, I’m hoping to get the patch notes from this week to be able to share them.

So basically…

There’s a great new update that will FINALLY give us ingame mapping, HOWEVER , you don’t have patch notes to share AND the update isn’t released this week, during a ToD week.

So basically it’s only relevant next month…

[Jeto]

The schedule, as you are aware, are set in advance. Which is how I am able to share the event schedule.
The update is slot into the schedule, based on a heap of other factors. We do not often move the events to accommodate the schedule.

As for..

@Supa-N00b

you don’t have patch notes to share

just have some patience? they are literally being shared this week.
There was also a time where you didn’t even get patch notes till the update day.

It’s also not an update with only Tower of Doom changes, so it releasing outside of this week, doesn’t make it irrelevant.
