Couple of Suggestions After Using Issue 20 a bit

So far, LOVE issue 20 for the most part, however I have complaints but some are too big to address quickly. But I do have a few ideas so far that are a bit of an annoyance or a wish-list that are QOL additions that would help out a lot, and they might actually be able to push out in a hotfix or something.

  1. A way to get a 'beep' sound effect when a new message comes in on the League channel.

    Its very helpful when the Team channel makes that noise. Lets you know someone is trying to get everyone's attention, and it could be crucial for coordinating the players to do something with these new trials. While fighting its very easy to get caught up in the fight and not see something that pops up in the league channel.

    Ideally I would like a selection of various different 'beep' sounds and a way to assign different sounds to different channels, like supergroup, coalition, team, league, tell, any of the server channels you sign up for, wentworths, etc. But just an option to turn the league beep would greatly help with the new trials and such

  2. Separate the incarnate power customization UI by tree instead of slot.

    While I love that we can customize the look of the incarnate powers, the UI is a bit cumbersome for it. With 9 powers for 4 trees (and more trees on their way according to the USTREAM), with each tree being a different pallet selection and category(?, bright, dark, custom colors, etc), its a lot of powers to get to all look how you want. Granted, currently most players using this are only going to have 1 judgement power for example and will only have to update that one. But eventually people are going to get multiple, and customizing powers costs money (or free costume tokens) at the tailer, and fixing more than one and getting the various trees to match is cumbersome.

    I would like to see the trees broken up into separate powerset groupings on there. This will let me, a lot more quickly than now, go through and say I want all my pyronic powers to look this way with this color choice, my void powers to look this way, my ion powers to look this way, and my cryonic powers to look another way, each with different colors and pallets and such. Using the option to sync all the colors in the powerset, I can customize each separately pretty quickly.

    Currently, you can set them all to be bright, or dark, or custom colors. But only ion and pyronic use bright and dark, and void and cryonic use the custom colors pallets. Then if you want to have all your fire have different colors than your ice or void, you have to go through and set each one's colors to the same thing. Breaking them up would allow someone to go in on each of their (up to 5) costumes, add the 4 power customizations across all their judgement slots, and move on with ease. Now, you've got to hit each of the 36 possibly to get them customized I'll bet a lot of people are going to want to do so they don't have to hit the tailor each time they upgrade their judgement power slotted or get inspired by a new costume idea.
Just my thoughts for stuff that might be quick and easy for them to update in a patch or squeeze into Issue 21. I know usually they have things all planned out months (or years) in advance, but if they are looking for small things that will make some people much happier without much work.
