Notification/Banner when vendor reset is ready

[Blkandwhtgaming]

Proposed change

Have a global notification/banner which can be toggled on/off in settings for when a vendor rank is ready to be reset.

How does this fit into your workflow?

I often do not realize I have a reset and keep playing. The game does not tell you for playlist activities until you leave the queue so running back to back playlist activities suppresses the warning. Also, the clan reset is easy to miss when that happens. A nice banner that alerts you of resets ready to go do would be great.

It's not a bad idea, though there are lots of things we could show banners for, and eventually everyone will ignore all the banners (see: postmaster full banner). This also opens up a long list of "please also show a banner for X" requests...

I think I see the concern. This I think is unique as the screen you get notified is the progress screen in the app, but the screen most frequently left on is the inventory screen. Some way to display something to signify vendor rep is ready to reset would be nice to have on that inventory screen.

Similar to the postmaster, maybe we could do a simple style change like red background and if by chance, they don't care there is that setting to disable it completely. I think most would like to know though.

Maybe just the tab itself gets the style update? Walking the user through a "what is this red tab for?" click and then they can see their ranks also highlighted red (if collapsed that would help) and finally driving them to the 100% rep with a message saying they need to visit the tower to collect rewards and reset to further progress.

I'm not fully opposed to it, but there are a couple of points I want to stress. One is that I want to avoid filling up the screen with red "do this now!" indicators, and I'm not sure that "you are wasting rep" is as important as "you're losing items from the postmaster".

The second is that we try our very very hardest not to add new options to DIM. So making it an opt-out thing is a no-go.

Ok yea maybe we can default the setting to have it off so its not pushed to everyone. The "opt-in" approach might help alleviate that concern although not solve it. I am not in a rush for this so I'll take some time to think about other ways to provide a similar solution without the blaring "red alarm" that usually causes that UI anxiety we want to steer clear of.

That may also give time for others to find this issue and vote for it or +1 if that is something in terms of priority for the general users.

Opt-in is still a setting! We want no settings.
