[Poll] Drop sounds / visual fx / minimap notifications

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback
1

Since drop sounds, enhanced vfx or minimap notifications for dropped legendarys are a necro and popping up a few times each year, I would like to have a poll to capture the overall feelings and response of the player base.

  • I would love to have drop sounds/ visual fx / minimap notifications for double greens/epics or legendarys
  • Yes, but make options a toggle
  • No, I dislike the idea in general

Please further add your thoughts on why you would like or dislike such feature.

My thoughts on that:

  • would make double rare, epic and legendary drops feel more impactful especially during the leveling process
  • would help to notice double greens by a drop sound or visual fx like a green glow/ shimmer or beam
  • would help to not miss out double greens/epic/legendary drops when playing DoT builds where you eventually rush through areas. Could be achived by notification symbols on the mini map like for nemesis or quests
  • customisation of the drop sounds/ visual fx in the loot filter window would make this feature adjustable towards the specific needs of the content/ build you play
    EDIT:
  • where grim interals may cover some basic features its however not available for new players

I think that a sound/visual fx is unnecessary. To know that something interesting dropped you only have to… look at your screen, which you should already do if you are playing the game. I do agree, though, that we need a better way to identify double rare greens than memorizing the name of the affixes. Maybe give them a slightly darker green to stand out.

I don’t think it’s necessary either, but I think the loot filter could use a tweak, ie. change “only show double rares” to “always show double rares”.
