0007176: Enchant Sorting - Arcen Idea Tracker (Bugs and Features)

Notes
(0022374) khadgar (reporter) Apr 19, 2012 2:49 pm	My vote is for A, but in terms of time spent versus benefit gained, C seems like the best solution.

(0022398) lwithers (reporter) Apr 19, 2012 4:12 pm	Yes, with 30 or 40 enchants it starts to get a bit difficult to manage (although the icons have been well thought out and are pretty easy to interpret). Personally I like the mockup you drew for option C.

(0022466) GUDare (reporter) Apr 20, 2012 3:25 am	C rocks. Doesn't change a thing but makes the UI more user-friendly.

(0022555) dorenthas (reporter) Apr 20, 2012 7:45 pm	I think A or C would both be great. I really like the idea of sorting by groups. I use that kind of feature all the time in many RPGs where you get truckload of items. However I understand that it would probably take a lot more time (relatively speaking) than slightly altering the assets to add a color code - not sure how much it would help color-blind players though ;) My preference goes to A, with C as a backup plan until more time's available for A.

(0022585) MouldyK (reporter) Apr 22, 2012 4:53 am	C is a great idea to me as well because if they are all colour-coded, then the player could sort the ones he wants into rows or near each other himself as it would only be a few drags.

(0022586) Hyfrydle (reporter) Apr 22, 2012 6:16 am	I'd like to add to this suggestion that the latest enchant collected be highlighted in some way. When your concentrating on staying alive and collect multiple enchants added to an already full inventory. Finding the new enchants can be very difficult. The issue with a high number of enchants became such an issue for me that I now have my own method of placing them in the inventory and rearrange accordingly when new enchants are found. My vote would be A but I can also see that short-term C would be useful.

(0022665) LintMan (reporter) Apr 24, 2012 12:02 pm	My vote is for A: sorting enchants by level/power/rarity whatever you call it would be a huge timesaver for finding the best one of a given type without have to do quite so much comparison between them. (See also Issue 0007234 for my suggestions on that front).

(0022784) Quaix (reporter) Apr 26, 2012 9:19 pm	C please. I often have an enchant I want to switch out and end up hunting in the inventory for the correct slot. Right/Left arm enchants are the worst offenders as I get them confused all the time.

(0023248) Kregoth (reporter) May 1, 2012 10:56 pm	I think C should go for everything, spells should be colored by element and enchants by slot. I also think sorting would be great as well and should work for both as well.

(0023908) Platypus (reporter) May 9, 2012 9:21 pm	A and C would work perfectly together without any conflict. C definitely sounds like it could be very easy to implement and is definitely where my preference lies if I had to pick just one.

This issue is already marked as resolved. If you feel that is not the case, please reopen it and explain why.
