I had an idea for an interface improvement for the reputation traits in a player's trait interface. I have all of my reputations on my main toon up to Tier 6, and sorting through at least the passive ground and space traits can be a bit harsh on the eyes, as I can seldom remember their names. I mostly remember their colours, and their shapes. But even some of the colours are similar to others. Never mind the mouse-wheel scrolling.
So my idea, to cut to the chase, is this:
While the rep system already has a search field, it only searches by the actual
name of the trait, or, by something else in the description. I would like to suggest either...
- A filter feature, as seen in other interfaces, where the player can click a pull-down which reveals filters; I think multi-choice check boxes would be best for this, rather than simple singular selections, or single-select radio-buttons.
- A "Sort by Reputation" feature, sorting the traits by their respective reputations, with each trait in alphabetical order in each group, and the reputations themselves in alphabetical order.
- Optional-Use "pull-down-menus" for each reputation; collapses into a nice compact view when all closed, and reveals the traits of the respective rep when clicked to open.
To the point, a more expedient means of going through and finding what rep traits you want at a given time would be nice.
