Here there are some idias for additions in the game panels that I think would greatly improve the quality of life with small effort.
- Crafting panel filter to show only recipies that gain you experience plus recipies to create its components. Now, when you want to create an item that gives you experience (o it’s max level) you can activate the “gain exp” show option to avoid scroll over all your recipies, but then you discover it need a subcomponent you have to craft too, and it doesn’t give you experience, so it doesn’t appear on the filtered list. You have to uncheck the filter, and search for it in a sea o greyed recipie names. And then when you have it, check the box again to easily find the item you where looking for. The filter I am proposing will fix that issue, leting you having it checked almost 100% of the time, unless you want an specific low level item for skin or trade.
- A new crafting context menu option for “craft this item”. Another way to solve the problem exposed before. Right now, when we rightclick in a component form the crafting panel we only have the “buy more at the trading post” to get the item. How about an option to get you to the recipie that carfts it?
- A new section in the hero panel about Living Story. Something similar to “My Stoy” section but regarding each release. It will help old players to remember what happened several months ago and it’s relevant now and will help new players to keep up with the story. It could have buttons to play cutscenes, and an “Unlocked Rewards” box similar to that on the “achievements” section so we can collect our unlocked skins so we don’t need to storage them indefinetly.
- A new section in the guild panel for guild recruitment. A place where guilds can opt to adevertise themselves for recruitment. I will make recruitment easier for guilds, and finding their perfect guild easier for players. It could hold more information than a chat message would have (longer space, links… maybe Textile and BBcode?). You could add filters for PvE, PvP, PvX, WvW guilds, yes-or-no 100% represent, number of members, upgrades unlocked…
Thank you for reading this, and see you in the mists!
