Confirmation box for Escort rewards?

#1 Post by IgnatiusReilly »

I dunno if I'm the first to ever do this, but during tense escort quests sometimes the escort will reach the portal mid-turn and I'll accidentally click the option right as it pops up. Kind of a bummer. I'm not exactly frantically clicking, but the game seems to have great timing about throwing the reward box right where I plan to make my next move.

Confirmation boxes do suck, so if there were another way around this...

Never happened to me. Guess I watch my escorts that carefully.

I'm hijacking the topic a bit and complaining a bit on how I can't check my talents screen or talk in chat about the different rewards.

A possible fix for both our problems could be to select/confirm the selection on stage change, like transmogrification chest works.
Stronk is a potent combatant with a terrifying appearance.

I've heard others complaining about the same thing. I play with the keypad, so it's not been a problem for me, but I can imagine how playing with the mouse could lead to that problem. A confirmation sounds reasonable enough.

+1 Useable item sounds like a nice thing.

+1 to either the confirmation or the 1 time use item. I have been in the middle of intense fights and received the wrong reward before.

Yeah, I'd love this on-use item to get the gift since it would allow golems to get generics it's master already has (for example my current alchemist has 5/5 healing from the light tree so golem couldn't be taught 1/5 heal from the next anoril escort).
