Incubator Suggestion

I have a suggestion for incubators.

Please allow an option to show the progress of the incubator on the HUD or somewhere on the UI, similar to the quests.

Additionally, once the incubation is complete, display on the HUD for a moment (like 5 seconds or whatnot) what it actually dropped. Some of them are easy to tell but some of them are not.

Thanks!

Agreed. A popup or something when the incubated item drops would be awesome.

I too agree, I think that the best option to have would be progress bars similar to gems, toggable via options, with possibility to incubate item on demand when the progress bar is full.

yes, its absolutely needed, for the "feel good" effect and motivation!

I like this a lot. In fact, I think it would be a good idea like this:

1. It looks exactly like the gem.
2. It shows in small text a counter.
3. Where the gem goes, instead it should have the incubator graphic type that it was (eg: an essence or whatever it was)
4. When it incubates, show what it produced, and allow a mouse over of it if possible. This way if it drops something the loot filter wouldn't show, you can still see what it was.
5. To get rid of the display, perhaps either have a X to click (bad approach though, I hate having to click extra crap) or have it automatically fade out after a time, such as 30 seconds or 1 minute.

Here's a quick and dirty image mockup with a minimized and maximized. Obviously, just need one, technically. But this is just a rough idea.

Where do the currency items needed to incubate an item drop?
