Bunch Of Uis That Needs Improvemnt + Forum Integration

[CubedOobleck]

Extraction UI should show sentinel XP as well, and the rewards side should separate between the things collected during the mission and those awarded at extraction. But more importantly, make it so the extraction UI doesn't cover your tenno and the ship while they leave.

 

The weapon/warframe stats should be visible and change real time while you are modding your weapon/warframe. Moreover the warframe stats could show multipliers for efficiency, power range and duration.

 

I think it used to exist and I'm not sure when or why it was removed, but we really need a dojo chat, basically like a squad chat but for when you enter a dojo. Usually the clan chat and the /w are enough, but the moment you have 2 or more players in the dojo who are not part of the clan then there's no way to have a decent conversation.

And I'm sorry but I'm also gonna have to say this one: when will we be able to right click on the name of a player in the left side of the chat?

 

The same thing you did to the friendly icons to make them smaller should be done for the enemy icons because when you have a enemy radar the minimap can be hard to see.

A smaller icon for for panel that deactivate the ship alerts is also a good idea, since they are merely optional and end up being distracting in the minimap.

In general icons should not stop at the doors if you have already explored the adiacient rooms, this might not make that big of a difference with the minimap, but it will make a huge difference with the big map, which is for now essentially useless because the icons don't leave your room.

 

In any lobby that requires a key (such as void towers and derelicts) there is nothing that shows what kind of key has been chosen or what kind of mission is about to start, nor is there anything showing if players are equipped with dragon keys.

 

 

 

The forum is already somewhat connected to the game, the ign and the avatar are shared and the account is effectively one, so why not take it a step forward?

I'd love it if the 'about me' from the forum profile was also visible in my game profile, especially if links work (even if only forum links for security reasons) and vice versa for my in-game stats to be visible on the forums.

It would also be incredibly nice if the clan emblem became visible in the forum.

The in-game inbox (which DE mentioned in the players will eventually be able to use) could become one with the forum's messenger,\.

 

In all this the nexus should be a middle ground, allowing you to access both the forums and the game at the same time, perhaps we could even trade from the nexus as long as the other player is using the trading station.

 

Finally, I want the avatars bought through the games to remain special, but DE should seriously consider a way for players to upload their own avatar (like any decent forum tbh) and without nonsensical fees. With all the clan thing it's obvious DE is too afraid of inappropriate stuff: the game is rated M and either way those who break the rules can simply be warned and banned, I believe that's what moderators are for, so give us some freedom with images.

+1. Logical solutions to some UI problems.

 

In regards to the integration, I'm pretty sure Steve said they wouldn't put so much out-of-game social links into the game itself to not take away from the game. And I think the avatar issue is a bandwidth/server problem from their side; it would use too much resources or w/e.

 

Edit: I hope Pablo takes note of this.
