and I (let's be real, it was all Bug) have changed the battling UI! The goal was to make it more streamlined and faster, and we think that has been achieved.

- If it wasn't clear by entering a battle, the weapon selections and such have been moved to the side! This will greatly reduce the need for scrolling when battling. 
- Your weapons and scrolls come pre-selected now! This means you should organize your weapon  accordingly. The first two weapons in your weapon set and first scroll in your scroll set will be automatically selected at the beginning of each turn. EDIT:  The auto-selection is now a toggleable effect. It can be changed at will and will remember your choice! It can be found when entering the pre-battle page, where you select your pet, weapon and scroll set :)
- Scrolls and potions have scrollable images!
- Scrolling has been added to the commentary. Now you can see what weapons do and the lovely attack text without having to scroll all over the place!
- Super handy dandy battling links have been added to the top of every page while in battle, for ease of access. 

Hopefully these changes will make all of your battling experiences better! If you have any questions, please ping me! If there are any bugs or glitches, please ping :)

More changes to come!

- for what it's worth, I personally find these changes extremely upsetting (sorry).

I am still a new enough serious battler that I really need to see all my available potions and scrolls. A drop down list of text just doesn't work for me. (It's hard enough that I also still sometimes need to have my armory and scroll library open in separate tabs to do hovers to remember what things do - and sometimes SubetaLodge as well).

Also, I do not want weapons preselected. I already have organized my weapons in a way that makes sense to me with healers on the right, then attacking weapons, then shields, then freezer, then stealer and I can't do that if I have to reorganize things because of preselection. I don't use two main weapons, I actually have a different strategy. And the first turn I usually use my freezer and stealer and no main weapon at all. And because you reset to the preselected weapons each time, I have to go back and change them each time - which is actually harder than it was to just click my two choices before because of the new setup.

Similarly (but not nearly as much of a problem since my pets have small AP and only a few scrolls), I have organized my scrolls so my main scroll is in the middle and with a freezer or secondary attacker on the right and my last ditch full heal on the left. If I need to put my main scroll on top, then I will probably get any others confused.

Worst of all, for me, is the fact that all the information I am studying so carefully to become a better battler (all those icons and messages) are now both smaller and harder to see and require me to scroll after each hit, rather than just reading and going on to the next one. That will make battling truly a major pain.

I know that all change is hard and I do usually try to get used to things, but I have been trying hard to do regular (if not daily) BQs and this will probably make me think seriously about spending my Subeta time doing something else.

That autoselection will be damned inconvenient. I don't always use the same two weapons and the same scroll in my first attack. :( It depends on the opponent I'm battling. So I either have to make a dozen different configurations or change it each opponent I battle. :/

Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the attention to the battling and most of the changes are outstanding. But not all of these changes make it better.

Yeah, I really don't like having weapons auto-selected, and I'm more of a visual person so the text dropdown for potions and scrolls is throwing me off in a big way. The main improvement for me is the scrollbox for how the previous turn played out, but that could have been done without all these other (imo unnecessary) changes.

The amount of clicks it takes to select your two weapons with the old UI was two. The amount of clicks to change your weapons with the new UI? Also two. There's no real change there. It's still probably faster due to the images being more condensed.

Same can be said for scrolls. Most people have a go-to scroll which they use on the majority of turns, so having a pre-selected scroll is a big help. The time required to change scrolls is about the same as it would have taken to click on the scroll you wanted to use under the old UI.
