Request - Loadouts: preferencial & locked idea

(AssortedStuff) #1

Ok, I also dislike the current loadout system but it is what we got (…at the moment).
Anyway, I got an idea/request to make it quicker & safer to use:

1 - allow users to ‘star’ 1 loadout (mark 1 loadout as their preferential one).
2 - allow users to ‘lock’ as many loadout as they want.

How would that work?
1 - ‘Starring’ 1 loadout would make it easier/quicker to select it in the lobby.
It would always be in the first position and would be automatically chosen in case the user didn’t have time to complete the selection (at the moment it defaults to the previous selected merc - not good).
2 - ‘locking’ some loadouts would prevent the user to use them by mistake when Trading Up.
They would show up greyed out in the Trade Up selection, and when selecting the squad they’d show up straight after the ‘starred’ loadout.

I like your ideas. Would definitely make things easier.

A favourited loadout for each merc, I like it!

I’d like to be able to create various Rosters for different maps. The three mercs I want for Chapel aren’t necessarily the same three I want for Trainyard, but I always use the same roster per map, so being able to quick select a pre-defined roster between maps would save a lot of time… and let me pee while waiting.

We definitely want to do something along these lines, just need the time to get around to it with everything else. It’s a good suggestion though! :slight_smile:

Yes, per merc, that’s what I meant. I should have included that bit.

Squads. Squads is what you want. I’m sure they’ll bring it back, as it’s a damn good monetization opportunity.
But you’re right, it would be great to be able to even specify loadouts within each squad.

That feature hopefully is coming soon. The current menu is very inconvenient what goes about card selection and trading. This is because the information is filled with symbols and the card names are just too small. Very hard to distinguish cards on the get go. You have to look twice or three times when you are beginner. After time of course you get to know the symbols and can pick your card.

Staring and locking makes stuff much easier, but imo it is the menu which lacks a lot of convenience and the format of information display is too hard for beginners to get along with + the navigation is too much of a pain sometimes and it is not enough use case oriented, e.g. “and now i want to get the best card for rhino, lets see what rhino cards i already have, lets see what there is for cards in the loadout menu, and now i want to simply navigate along all cards of rhino and i want not be displayed just symbols, i want it big screen with just one card and all the text and i want to quickly switch card selection to compare cards of rhino”, etc, many more examples where the menu is very inconvenient to navigate and very hard to get the info you need.

The base menus are already there, some menus need to be combined imo. Maybe i make another thread about what i have in mind if i get another feel of madness during card management :mad:.

In short: i have alot of trouble managing my cards.

While its probably a lot of work, hearthstone’s collection menus are a pretty awesome way to look at how to handle lots of cards.
