Please put a download counter on quests!

By BrianBard, in Descent Quest Vault Open Beta

If anyone at FFG reads this.... please put a download counter on the quest vault quests!!! Also.... we should be able to arrange by number of downloads.... we can arrange by number of likes... but so few people hit like....

If I knew that a quest I made was downloaded 250 times, then I would be encouraged to write even more!! I have heard that people that put their quests on bgg are able to see number of downloads.

Also, if I could rank by number of downloads, I could really see which quests are most popular.

The quest vault is such an awesome tool... it just doesn't seem to be as popular as it could be.... could you imagine hundreds of quests and campaigns? Maybe there is already enough material out there... but I think this would help marketing....

How about every time a hero and monster pack is released there is a competition to make the best quest utilizing this pack??

Maybe the community should just try to make this happen... I just think that if FFG would give the winner of the contest something as simple as a "master game designer" certificate and a special promotion product (an early Lt pack) that this would really take off and generate more sales....

Also... do the same thing for the x wing mission control....

Ok... I am done making noise about this... I would be interested what anyone else thinks about this... should the community just create it's own contest?

I for one think the download counter is a good idea. As for a community-run vault competition, that would be a challenge to organize, but I could see it being fun.

I think that besides that, the Quest Vault needs some other things to add:

1) An “encounter or quest” delete option : There are posts where people ask for help to delete either “encounters” or “quest”. Even there are quest that are published with an empty second encounter. I think that a missclik in “Add an encounter” should not be the reason to obligate you to either publish your quest with a blank encounter or redoing it.

2) A bookmark or highlight section : this will help to increase the popularity of Quests when people go to the profile of someone and see the Quests he had liked, bookmarked or downloaded. Then, they will give them a try and perhaps like them too and so on.

3) A “Most viewed/most downloaded” Quest section : related to what you ask, I would like to see a section similar to the “Top Rated Quest” where people can see the quest that had been viewed or had been downloaded recently. In order to make the Quest Vault more fluent and not just keep seeing the “The King of All Goblins” or “From the Ashes” quest all the time.

4) A notification system : I like the quest people create, I download them, but it is hard to keep track on them in case they modify them. A notification similar to the forums notification would help to see if the Quest you downloaded was modified.

I think this could help to make Quest Vault a more popular tool.

make a quest to a campaign, you can download a compleat campaign, so you dont need to search for all of them quests
