Talent menu
Posted: Wed May 11, 2011 5:03 pm
Not really a bug, but a small problem in the UI that I think should be corrected.
In the 'G'ain talent menu, talent information is not properly displayed on computers with a small screen (like a laptop).
In the description part, you have
- UI explainations on the use of keyboard and mouse (3 lines)
(2 CR)
Talent name
(1 CR)
Class talent
A class talent allows ... blah blah blah (4 lines)
(1 CR) (and 3 CR if you have not already invested points in the talent)
Talent information (level, requirements, etc) on 4 lines
(1CR)
Talents use (cooldown, speed, etc) on 7 lines
Talent description ...
The problem is that talent description on a laptop is only allowed one line and in general the useful information (damage increase, duration, etc) are in the second or third line... It is slightly better if some points have been invested in the talent as for an unknown reason there are 2 CR in less in the upper part of the screen (and 2 extra lines for the description), but many talents have a longer description and to get full knowledge on the talent and its next level, you have to go to description screen and to use the scrollbar, which is uselessly tedious...
Whar I suggest:
a) it is easy to remove 4 or 5 CR in the description screen, while keeping it clean.
b) the blahblah on what is a class or a generic talent is only useful for a NEW player, during the first 30 mn that he plays the game. After that he knows what are talents and how you gain them. So, it could completely be removed if player is of level, say > 5 or 10, or, even better, put in a tooltip...
