Wish Lists FAQ

First, we already have guides on using wish lists and creating wish lists - maybe you want those?

When will the list be updated?

It's possible that it already has been. DIM displays a little message when the list is updated, but it's easy to miss. You can check out the GitHub for wish lists and see for yourself. If you want a firm time, feel free to create your own.

What exact rolls are in the wish list?

If you open up the source files, a link back to a source document of some kind is at the top of most, if not all, of the lists. DIM currently doesn't visualize the collection, and there are no imminent plans to change that. Those linked originals are the best place to go for that answer.

My weapon has a few perks that match a wish list, why isn't there a thumb on it?

All the perks that the wish list roll calls for must be present in order to be a wish list item. If the loaded list calls for four perks and your item has three of them, it's not a match. You are free to create a wish list that requires fewer perks.

''' Why doesn't this roll that I think is great have a thumbs up on it? '''

Wish lists are, in many ways, products of their time. Sandbox changes can make perk combinations/archetypes more or less desirable, but reviews tend to focus on newer items (and I rarely update wish lists to reflect changes in older ones). Again, we invite you to create a wish list to reflect what you're looking for.

It's entirely possible that I made an error when creating my list - please let me know if you find one.

If you disagree with the rolls that the reviewers suggest, kindly keep that to yourself (or make your own list that fixes that).

''' Why doesn't my armor have thumbs? '''

Wish lists did support Armor 1.0. Armor 2.0 did away with fixed perks, which wish lists rely on. Custom stats and loadout optimizer are great features for figuring out what armor to keep (even if it won't get the happy thumbs up).

''' I'd like to see my / someone else's collection of rolls added to the default list. '''

I'm happy to work with reviewers I know and trust to convert lists (meant for humans to read) into the wish list format (that DIM works off of). If you don't have a history of posting lists and getting feedback on them, then I may politely decline. If you hand me a link to audio/video/an image to sift through, I will definitely decline. Text is king.

If it's someone else's stuff, please feel free to put your old pal 48klocs in touch with them. I will not take and distribute someone else's work without knowing they're OK with it.
