A thought about getting an alert when a new release with a character you tracking is released…
What about spoilers? Say someone didn’t know about the reveal of Sutekh on Legend of Ruby Sunday. They aren’t watching it at midnight and get an alert saying Sutekh is in the episode. Cue angry emoji.
If I’m honest, I rarely ever look at the charatet tracker - I find it to be quite overwhelming and knowing that I’m literally never going to complete 99% of the characters makes me sad. I have occassionally glanced at it out of intrigue, but I visit it infrequently. The ideas given here about showing only a few characters in select media makes me feel like I’d use it more though.
And I’m not so sure about a notification for a story with a new character, I think that could get overwhelming quickly too. Imagine if you got one for every dalek story! But I appreciate that I may be in the minority here. I think for me, ability to track like one or two characters would be the thing I would be most likely to use.
Could that one, and the spoilerific one be solved by options like:
Alert me of new releases featuring this character
Do not alert me if character is marked as a spoiler
Although this would mean making sure spoiler characters were marked as such on the site and we had an agreement on what counted as a spoiler character.
I would like the tracker feature on the character page. Like if I am at the Page for Rose I would like to see how much I have left until I have completed everything.
I look at the character tracker all the time, but an alternate, more condensed view, without all the images would be helpful. Choosing which ones to track also sounds interesting.
I’m only really keeping track at the moment of episodes of the tv series I haven’t watched, because there’s way too much Big Finish I haven’t listened to.
I’d find it helpful if i could permanently deselect things hard to track down such as some of the old virgin books.
I find it helpful to look for some stories i wanna look into. Awesome feature.
