Merc organization

(derpyMoonMoon) #1

So just a thought, but wouldn’t it be better if the mercs in the merc selection screens were organized by class? This would help us find mercs slightly quicker in my opinion, and would help new players learn the roles of each merc. What do you guys think? Is alphabetical enough?

I thought the same thing the other day. It always seems like the merc you try to find before they lock in on the lobby just so happens to be in your blind spot, and yeah surely this would be good for the neewbs as well

This would be nice, indeed.

You have good point but won’t change anything - when ppl see vassili or proxy… pretty much it’s over. And this will take probably 5 months of UI development so it’s not worth it when you draw the line.

Good idea, especially after they added Aimee, all the mercs moved so the old layout changed and now i can’t choose right away

I’m against this idea since I’m fairly sure SD couldn’t resist to fuck it up.

(derpyMoonMoon) #7

That’s exactly why I thought of this. The same will happen with turtle, along with any other merc they release in the future. It just seems simpler to move a few UI elements once, instead of every time they release a new merc.

What if their portraits were separated into different segments/lines for each class, rather than all of them together? While selecting them in loadout menus where each one is just a bubble until you mouse over then they could all be divided, with each class icon over the group.

Please, yes. For how long I’ve been playing this game, I can’t count the number of times I’ll want to switch a merc in the lobby and it takes a longer time than I’d care to admit to find the merc I’m looking for. Simply reorganizing the hexagons to group the classes closer together would work wonders.

How hard would this really be to do though? I mean, they do it every time a new merc comes out. They could even do it when Turtle comes out if it’s too much of a hassle.

@Ye_Olde_Buttcheeks where did you get this, or did you make this yourself? With the current loadout bit on there, they could also implement the ability to set a new default loadout card for when you put that merc in your squad, so you don’t have to scroll through all of your cards to find the one you want, which is especially annoying in lobbies.

I agree, this would be good!

Since turtle is in there i think its from the beta. (Even though this game is still in beta… somehow…)

(FalC_16) #15

I already got used to the merc positions in the selection, now its all upside down …man I hate changes like that

(YeOldeButtcheek) #16

I make all of these myself in Photoshop.

I’d rather go back to selectable squads

A, B, C, D, E, F, G… could not be easier.

@Yoma what’s so confusing about the game being in beta?
