UI alert when you can assign a prodigy

[Westilege]

Am I missing an obvious alert or cue somewhere in the user interface when you can finally assign a point to a prodigy? I just made it to the upper 30's in my second Exploration run, and it dawned on me that I should have a prodigy available to me (which of course I did for several levels by that point). I made it through my first game without ever realizing that I had any prodigies available to me. If there isn't an obvious cue somewhere on the screen or in the level-up window that you should go to the Prodigies tab, perhaps there should be?

A reminder wouldn't hurt. The only thing reminding you about it is a faint glow on the Prodigies button.

I just hit level 42 and see what you mean about the Prodigies button glowing. The problem is, I never look in that corner of the screen, since for most of the game, you're looking at the left or upper-right of that window to see the abilities you can upgrade. The glowing is fairly subtle, too, so I never noticed it before. Perhaps the glowing should be more pronounced? Or something else should alert you to the fact that you've earned a Prodigy ability? Just some thoughts for the devs. Thanks!

so prodigy points don't keep the "you have unspent points" button and glow on on your xp meter?

[Effigy]

It doesn't highlight your XP bar when you only have unspent prodigy points, and I think this is intended because players will often wait to spent their points if they need to satisfy some of the more specific requirements of a prodigy they want.

I agree that the glowing effect on the prodigy button could be made more conspicuous so people notice it when they open the level-up dialog. Maybe a mod can move this to Ideas?

Duly noted and put into the to-do list (but will have to wait until all Embers stuff is done)

Cheers!

Hmm, is this something my "Save" Talent/Stat Points addon could be tweaked to handle?
