QoL Issues

1. The whole problem with the 'Warning you're selling useful salvage' is that it always goes off. People have memorized recipes and these inevitable cover most salvage. When deciding if salvage is useful the Memorized recipies should NOT count. This would eliminate 80% of the bogus warnings and make this more tolerable.

2. The lag issues with the power tray saying somethings recharged when it is not is driving me nuts. The patient escape on BAF is very time critical and if you're wasting time trying and failing to get the power to go off it is really frustraing.

3. During respecs please for the love of god do NOT dump all the temp powers into the trays. the sorting is really annoying. Primaries Secondaries Pools PPP/APP Incarnate Accolades and veteran powers only. If we want one of the zillions of temps we all have let us put it in the tray.

4. Increase the number of attached trays to 5. and actually remember a character tray config. If i load a character that has fewer trays than the last one i still have to remove the extra trays. Also give us some smaller tray options 2x4, 2x3, 1x4,1x6,1x8

5. In the market interface if we click on something to expand it( salvage in the list or an item in a slot) there is no option to shrink it back. This eats up a lot of real estate if your going through your list if items that you're trying to buy/sell. we can only shrink it by expanding something else. And if i expand on salvage in the market's list please center it in the display area. expanding it and finding it half scrolled out of the viewing area is annoying. Yo might also use short abbreviations in all enhancment decriptions in a recipies title. End Mod instead of Endurance Modification. Be consistant and always use the shorten up the recipies names which are often too long to display.

Bonus round.
allow us to invite our alts into our SGs without a 3rd party doing it. We have wanted this since day 1 and the continual refusal to give us this small little convenience is .............

Let me set up a direct debit for base rent. Or at least let me pay remotely via the Supergroup window.

Also I'm getting awfully long delays when selecting a server or going back to the server list - anywhere from 20sec to a minute+. So if the devs could sort that out that'd be super.

I'd like some way (other than writing it on a piece of paper) to know what my character has in the Salvage Vault while I am standing in WWs. Its time for heroes to upgrade from just a cell phone to call their contacts to a smartphone.

Other smartphone functions that might be useful:
- Show me a list of the recipes and salvage I have stored in WWs
- Help me find the people who start TFs in a zone

I'm not asking to manipulate what I have, that is to say I don't expect to be able to move the salvage or recipes, I just want to know what I have so I don't buy something I already have stored, or I can discard/sell stuff I don't need without running around so much.

1. Fix the power customization screen so it shows what our toggles and pets look like. For toggles, just leave activate the power ONCE and let it run until reset by changing its colour or selecting a different power. For pets, show the pet summoning animation, then have the pet cycle through all the animations it has at the time of summoning it. If you're customizing Trip Mine, show it being set down, then show it exploding. If you're customizing Jack Frost, show him being summoned then show him activating his ice powers in order. We need to see what we're actually changing.

2. Eliminate weapon redraw. BABs was already working on this before he left, so presumably it's something that's desirable. Go ahead and just do it. But eliminate it only in the functional sense. When attempting to use a power which can activate immediately, allow it to activate immediately with the weapon just appearing in the character's hands en route. When attempting to use a power which cannot fire at the moment because it's out of range, out of line of sight, you're out of endurance or attempting to use the power on an inapplicable target or if you have nothing selected, play the draw anmation.

And please fix the bug where if you activate Build Up while in a non-combat stance, it locks you outside of entering combat stance until you draw a weapon or hit Esc about five times.

3. Allow click status protection powers to be activated while held, slept, stunned or terrorised. In essence, allow these powers to work like a Break Free inspiration. There's nothing dumber than getting held just as your Practiced Brawler is going down because you neglected to "press X to not die," but allowing players to activate the power when held, waking them up from the hold would fix that problem and give click status protection powers a distinct advantage to offset the easy convenience of toggle status protection powers.

4. Never put contact introductions in the lists of contacts more than 4 levels lower than I am. It's hideously annoying to level up in a mission in Brickstown, only for Dr. Whatshisname in Atlas Park to show up in my active contacts offering to give me more contacts. If new contacts need to be introduced to me, use the contacts I had in the previous level range. If I have no new contacts in the previous level range, I can always run newspaper missions and get new contacts that way. And while we're at it, please mark contacts who won't offer me missions and will only offer contact introductions in my Contacts window. Highlight them in green, for instance, so I know they'll only give me a referral and not missions. Let me know why I'm making the trip.

5. Remove missions that waste my time from the game. This includes contact introduction missions, Security Chief missions, PvP Liaison missions, difficulty contact missions and so forth. Remove Security Chief and PvP Liaison missions from the regular contacts and instead place them in the roster of the City Representative and Kalinda/Burke. Remove contact introduction missions entirely and make Wincott, Temblor, Peebles and Bower into regular contact introductions via the "Be introduced to a new contact" option or otherwise have them "call" the player via the Montague/Mercedes pop-up window. These aren't needed, as none of these zones are new, nor have they been new for the past six years.

I'm a list-maker so this will be tough to keep to 5.

1) Remember ALL of my preferences for things. The Memorized Recipe window as closed, the location of Powers in trays during Respecs. My 5 most-used pieces of Salvage. Oh and by the way the 'Classic' Team window is not classic it's Coke Classic with the formula changed! I HATE lime green in my team window. I want the old one back. Once I set up a character I want it to stay that way until I change it for some reason.

2) Bases and SGs. I've heard that the Devs feel that Bases are underused. No offense guys but you're not making it any easier. For example: Redside/Blueside teaming won't allow access to bases. You GAVE us Going Rogue and then seperated the teams...not good. No SGs or Bases for the first 20 levels in Praetoria. WTF? So now you WANT us to speed through 20 levels of really good storyline so those of us who like SGs and Bases get to use them? I understand no self-inviting or promotion but not being able to invite friend's offline alts just makes this harder to juggle logistically. I won't mention the bugs...

3) I agree with the 'Status clickies as BF' thing. I've always felt that sets with click Status Protection got the raw deal. In the middle of a fight you simply don't have time to check to see if you're covered or not. I'd also be thrilled if you could choose 'No Animation' for it in PvE play since they force weapon redraw.

4) Lag during the big events. Again, you guys GAVE us post-50 content like we asked for but it doesn't work well when you have 24 players firing off a flurry of FX. The Valley of Lag in the ITF has never worked well (I remember, I was in the Beta for that one). Rikti Invasion is just sad. I fire a power and then go get a drink.

5) Expand the LFG to include regular teaming. Players looking to form a team can flag themselves as such and then put in a level range or a specific even like the ITF. Players looking for a team or an event flag themselves as such and then go about their buisness. If something opens up and the prospective teammate is in a mission they get a window asking them if they want to leave and join the event. We should be WAY past broadcasting for a team or members in this game. We have 400 emotes and yet our Team Search sux.

6) Overtime: Now that we have these huge events make a special instance of RWZ and Pocket D to form them in. Seriously, we have to scramble to form up because half the League arrives and the other half can't get in because the zone is full? Alternately let us just enter the Trial from different zones as another poster mentioned above. Then we don't all have to be in the same place at the same time.

1. Reorganize and redesign the interfaces for Badges, Clues, Enhancement Vendors, and the Costume Creator. These interfaces still use simple scrolling lists, and each list is populated by anywhere from dozens to hundreds of items. The sheer amount of scrolling required to find anything in these lists makes them a PITA to use.

2. Tone down or do away with any sound effects which use high-pitched screams, squeals, or rings, especially in the foreground. Many of us play wearing headphones and earbuds, and some of the people playing are sensitive to high-pitched noise (myself among them). Peacebringers and Gravity toons both regularly emit sounds that ride just shy of the threshold for inducing physical pain.


I can't think of another three.

Stop adding untradeable stuff to the game, so the market can deal properly with drop inequities.
