UI suggestion for the Barracks


(bmsclonix) #1

Hi!

My friends, who still have locked most mercs, were somewhat confused choosing a new merc to unlock.
I could easy explain them ofcourse who is who and does what, but then I thought, maybe, just maybe it’s more clear if the mercs where categorized by class?

A dirty example: imgur.com/JSilJzd

I know, it’s not pretty. I just fooled around with possible setups so you get the idea.

Any thoughts?

Good idea. I never liked the alphabetical order because mercs always change postions when a new one comes out.

Also the rightmost category should be off-screen and slide in only after reaching level 10.

SD should have a whole barracks overhaul.
The current one looks dated.

It’s not just looks. The entire UI is cludgy. The drop down menus are horrible, and the filtering is also a complete mess.

It’s like three or four separate teams each took one menu, they tossed it together and then stood back and proudly exclaimed, “I HAZ MENU LULZ!”

It would be a good idea to explain the difficulty and standing of each merc in the new tutoial
