QoL - Enhancement names

OK, so most of us vets have and idea of what enhancement is what regardless of the cryptic naming of some of the DO's and SO's.

Still, the other night, it took me a fair amount of time on my lowbie to find that Natural / Magic Flight was "Li Tieh Kuai's Gem" ...but strangely I seem to have right clicked clicked the jump and intangibilty duration (anyone ever slot that?) several times in my searching.

So... Quality of Life suggestion.

Could you have some intern go through and rename every DO/SO Enhancement something like "Flight" ... with a right click info of "Li Tieh Kuai's Gem" or maybe name them "Flight - Li Tieh Kuai's Gem"

This sort of thing was done to some sets in the past...the Mutant SOs "Catalyst: Amplified Flying " but from my perspective the Science SO "Ionic Bombardment" doesn't scream "Flight" to me either, but then, I don't make a lot of Science origin characters.

Sometimes, I even aim toward certain origins specifically because I DO know what the enhancements (and store locations) are.

Natural and Tech (for instance) "Ascendance Device" DO, "Dragon Flight" SO, and "WetWare Eng Auxiliary Boosters" SO -do suggest Flight to me ... Sci/techs "Micro Adaptive Flow Control" not as much

Think of the new folks... the names are colorful ,but a barrier

A slight modification/clarification would be nice.

/signed.

I actually almost always make exclusively mutant characters just because its the easiest enhancement type for me to identify, because of it's very strong solid coloring and the fact that it says what the enhancement does.

I could swear this feature was IN game at one point, but since has stopped working.

Well done.
I have a 50 in every AT, but Scrappers and Dominators are my favorites.

In the meantime, there's an icon pack out that changes the look of all DOs and SOs to match their TO equivalent - it's a great help when looking at the list of Enhs at the store.

Now this is something I could get behind. Having to right click them everytime I want to figure out what they are is a hassle, and the colors aren't as clear as normal. I mean, who here can tell on sight the difference between the color for Endurance Reduction and the color for Flight?

Imo, the whole buying and slotting enhancement procedure needs to be revamped. But this is definately a step in the right direction.

I have to say, that standardization pack is the perfect fix!
