| Summary | 0012514: Have stats always displayed in the part-picker | ||||
| Description | Right now in order to see the current stats of any given system, you have to hover over a part for them to appear, which really seems kinda odd to me. If you dont have any parts in a system yet, you wont see any of these at all, and it kinda makes it look like something is wrong with the display, for it to be all blank like that if you're not hovering over something. Simply to make things easier I suggest having both the Exo-wide and system specific sections always displayed regardless, similar to how the previous system worked. The fact that it was always displayed before wasnt really the cause of player confusion, and I think the new interface for this should reduce that by a ton, as overall it's much easier to look at and understand, not to mention that dividing it into those two sections helps alot as well. But it not displaying automatically is pretty annoying. Particularly if you're just starting the game, and you wanna have a look at what the specific base stats of each system is to begin with. | ||||

Ok, two questions: 1) Regarding "Particularly if you're just starting the game, and you wanna have a look at what the specific base stats of each system is to begin with." What part of this does the bottom-left display on the exo-customization screen itself not address? It lists all your stats there, right? 2)Regarding "Right now in order to see the current stats of any given system, you have to hover over a part for them to appear, which really seems kinda odd to me. If you dont have any parts in a system yet, you wont see any of these at all, and it kinda makes it look like something is wrong with the display, for it to be all blank like that if you're not hovering over something." Well, the thing is that the part-picker's purpose is no longer to show you system stats. Its purpose is to show you what will happen if you select a specific part (or select "take the current part out"). If it tries to fill both purposes it gets to be a really enormous amount of info, when really what it actually needs to tell you is far less than that. The confusion comes in when you're trying to figure out why the game is telling you all that stuff, and trying to find the info that's actually relevant. If you take it at face value, does it still look like the display is wrong?. It no longer says anything about "System Stats", but rather "Clicking Right Now Will Change". Now, as someone who tested it earlier when it _did_ say "System Stats" I understand your confusion, but I don't think that applies once the mental transition is made. So more basically: does it need to also try to tell you about the system? If so, why? |

For 0.922: * Part-picker, when in the context of a weapon, now always includes the attack power, ammo, attack range, and (if an aoe weapon) aoe range in the comparison block, under an "(unchanged, but related)" subheader. If a stat has already been listed because it is being changed, it is not listed in that new section. Thanks :) |
