beta 10: two minor issues

[ushumgal]

LOVING beta 10, but there are two very minor issues I'd like to mention.

First, the fade-in effect for pop-up menus is very sexy, but on pitifully slow old machines like mine, it runs rather slow and can interfere with gameplay. Is there a way that a toggle could be set in the options menu to turn the effect on or off?

Second, in another thread, we discussed the possibility of putting the basic character states back in their original place under the mini-map on the left side of the screen - is there any consensus on that? I know that I, for one, find it VERY useful to be able to see my current stats when I am choosing talents.

[Final Master]

I definitively agree on the second point.

I'd prefer to merge talents & stats screens if possible, stats do not change often enough to be granted a spot on the main UI IMO

[Gwai]

It's not that they change, but that one doesn't remember them. I too regularly have to enter out of the level up screens to find out what my stats are.

Maybe a stat recap in a corner of the talent window would be just enough, since I think stats are checked mostly when browsing talents to make a character plan.

[ushumgal]

Yeah, I'd be perfectly happy if they were just displayed along with the talents - that's what you need to remember them for.
