[1.04] Adventurer "levelup" panel very slow

#1 Post by Robsoie »

There's no such problem for any regular race/class combo, but when playing with an Adventurer, each time i have him leveling and i press P to access the levelup panel, the navigation in it is really slow and laggy when adding a point into a skill or a stat.

This is an issue of having a large number of talents displayed on the screen at the same time. The game has to load them all up and then update them each time there is a character change.

Also, navigation on the talent panels is a bit clunky, and the keyboard navigation doesn't work correctly. For example, page-up/down only works once and you have to manually select a talent (going through a prompt sequence) for it to work again.

Just bumping because it's still atrociously slow in 1.1.4, making what is one of the most fun class in the game a real pain to manage once you level up.

Maybe there should be a rework of that panel to have only the active talents (i mean the trees that you have unlocked) to be "constantly updated".

Instead of how it is currently with all those myriads of trees that you haven't even unlocked, developped or even displayed that are still needlessly "constantly updated", eating performance a lot .

This is a very old problem.
HousePet has made an addon some times ago (faster adventurer levelup) that gave adventurers a mean to select which trees will be displayed in the levelup screen. That solved most of the problems, provided you know very well what the different trees do, but it is not compatible with the present release.

The game could benefit from lazy evaluation driven by the UI.

1/ Only update VISIBLE ("opened") talent trees.
2/ Do talent update on visibility toggle.

Those two rules would make Adventurer levelups as fast as any other class, and all visible info would remain 100% reliable.
Check out my addons: Nullpack (classes), Null Tweaks (items & talents), and New Gems fork.
