Auto-Replay while in Full Screen UIs

I wonder if it is possible to have it set up so that people get an auto replay if they send you an invite, tell or the like while you are in the costume, level-up, base-editting or enhancement screens

Do you mean "Reply"? If so then I agree, if you actually mean "Replay" then I am not sure what you are trying to say.

I could see a use for both.

Player x is editing his base, a mission architect story, respecing, etc, and player y sends him a message or an invite.

Player Y recieves this automatic reply: "User x is editing his base (or an MA story, etc.) and will receive your message when finished."

When player x finishes his work and returns back to the "normal" game screen he then receives all of the messages he missed while he was unavailable.

This would be a nice QoL improvement, since there have been TONS of times I've been stuck deciding whether to continue respecing or editing and miss an invite I may want or leave the editing unfinished, check the message, then go back.

There should be no full screen UIs. They got that right with the AE interface and all subsequent interfaces.

Paragon Studios has been advertising for full time UI engineers. I hope they get them soon and make and do for the 2D UI what Ultra Mode did for 3D.

I can get behind this suggestion. There's been a lot of times where I've been doing a quick respec at the start of the BAF trial and I miss the cinema, so it would be cool if it played again after I finish so I don't have to miss out on any content. I think a lot of other people would appreciate this, since they seem to go AFK during the cinema and miss it, so if it played more, people wouldn't miss out!

Issue 16 made me feel like this.

I'm pretty sure they did this a couple issues back and got rid of it. I'm not sure if it was because of bugs/annoyance, but there you go.

As for base editing, you can see your chatbox by simply hitting the enter button while working on it. Just drag the box afterwards to a convenient location, and you'll be able to edit/chat at the same time.
