Battle Quests

  • Make the link for clicking on a challengers portrait the same as the button for clicking "Challenge 'OpponnetXYZ'". Currently, the button selects your default, pet, where the portrait does not.
  • Add the battle navigation menu to battle quests
  • Add battle quests to the battle navigation menu

Pre-selection

  • This was initially a controversial feature that not everyone wanted. The sentiment appears to have changed drastically on this one, where it is near-universally approved of. Change this to Default always on vs removing it as an option to turn off all together.
  • If it stays, move the option to the bottom of the page. We spent a bunch of effort decluttering that page, and now there is a giant eye sore in the middle of the most cluttered page on the site. We can't even remove it with CSS because if we change browsers, your settings aren't saved...

The Challenger List Page

  • Sorting challengers by where they come from is not intuitive when you are looking for challengers to fight.
  • Adding the ability to sort by difficulty would be much more useful (ex easy, medium, hard, vh, ex, imp).
  • Having the page remember what page you were on would be nice. You have it set to remember preselect by browser, this would be a great thing to also save on a per browser basis.
  • Having some sort of icon system for telling which opponents have what disabled would be a nice feature.

The Challenge Page

  • For the most part Custom CSS makes this page very functional, although I think the default settings make this page too cluttered and forces you to scroll too much.
  • I condense the page down to reduce scrolling by using custom CSS to eliminate all the weapon and scroll pictures from the page. It looks super ugly, but it is very functional. There is probably a middle ground that could be done to design this page better.
  • Add buttons to make a weapon or scroll set a default set from this page. These should be easy to add since they are links I have saved in my bookmarks bar, but would make changing weapon sets for a new challenger much easier.
  • On the customize set portion of the page: let me click the weapon in the active weapons bar to remove the weapon from the set. Searching for it in the bottom bar is not intuitive and is clunky.
  • On the customize set page: Add a button to save changes to the weapon set. Then if I want to save the changes forever, I have a quick way to do it vs if I want to test something for a single battle, I can just click next battle.
  • When you click the customize Weapons tab, let it take over the entire page and hide the scrolls menu temporarily, allowing a bigger space to display your armory to easily find the weapons you are looking for. Needing to scroll through that little box can become tedious.
  • Show the current stats of the opponent you are about to fight, instead of just their initial stats.

The Armory

  • 5 sets is not enough for 1 pet, it gets even worse if you have pets across multiple tiers. With 5 sets, you can usually devote 3-4 sets to your main pet and need to use 1 or 2 sets for a mini pet set, and you still need to do a lot of clunky switching around sets for different opponents. At minimum, there should be 12 sets available, to make one for each tier. The ability to buy as many as you need even for 20+mil would probably get used.
  • Default sets are currently assigned globally. They should be assigned on a per pet basis. A ton of errors get thrown when I try to enter a battle and I didn't change my default set from a T12 set to a T5 set. If each pet was assigned a default set, It would be rare that it would throw an error.

The Scroll Library

  • 5 Sets is not enough, every pet has a different amount of AP, and each pet should be able to have it's own default set.
  • The number of scroll sets you have available should be determined by the number of pets you own.
  • If a pet does not have enough AP to use a scroll set, instead of throwing an error it should load as many scrolls from left to right as it can fit.

The Potion Trunk

  • This feature doesn't exist yet. Let us store potions in a common spot that makes it easy to reload up on potions after we use one.

The Stat Cap

  • Let us earn Exp while under the cap. It can still be used towards level, and it is annoying to keep 1 stat open just to earn EXP for levels.
  • Set the cap to 35001 stats. Speed needs to be 1 stat over the opponents to count, builds often end up with 2 ugly numbers.

The Battle Page

  • Show your current stats and the current stats of the challenger. Many high end challengers stats change pretty drastically throughout a battle, and it can be hard to keep track of.
  • I use this simple CSS to prevent the page from jerking around as much and making it easier to battle. I think it should probably just be incorporated into the default settings, but i'll leave it here for anyone to try out. /* No jerking battles */ { height: 147px; } { height: 147px; }

/* bigger end battle button */ -ui-main .endBattle a.end-game-btn { width: 80%; }

I prefer the error because it stops me from accidentally taking a low level pet into battle without any scrolls.

YES. The armory and the modding page both have a similar issue, where you have to scroll all over the place to find things. It's such a pain to navigate any of these pages right now.

I like that clicking the portrait vs the button is different. Battle Quests on battle navigation I don't get. BQ is just a setup for the battle and you can right click on the Challenger page for any of the options then without going into battle. Adding another link seems cluttery to me.

I find that some Challengers require a flexible strategy if my pet is just strong enough or barely strong enough to defeat it. Being able to turn pre-select off is useful to me. I guess I don't care where it is, but someone who does a powerwash on their browser might not be able to find it?

I am in favor of being able to buy extra Armory rooms or Scroll shelves and would totally pay CSC for this.

As for the Challenger list there didn't used to be all that many of them so no big deal just look. I've got a ton of them now so a Search feature would solve most of the things mentions.

I complained loudly about the bouncing pages. I don't think could fix it? Anyways, thank you for the code! Maybe tell about it to add to their Useful CSS code page?

With both the portrait and preselection, you NEVER need to go through extra motions while having them on. But by not having the portrait auto select your default pet and by not having weapons 1/2 as the defaults you SOMETIMES have to do extra steps.

If you want to use a non-dafault pet for BQs and you click the link it is the exact same number of clicks to do what you want to do. If you want to use your default pet and you accidentally click the portrait, you have an extra click to reselect your pet.

Same thing with pre-select. If you want to use weapons outside slot 1/2 it is always the same number of clicks if there is a weapon pre-selected or not. But if you do want to use the weapons in slot 1/2 it there are extra steps.

And at the absolute bare minimum, get the giant wall of text off the most cluttered page on the site.

I agree with all of this! Especially the armory and scroll sets... It might even be better if we were able to assigns tier selections to each challenger on top of having general "sets". A little frontloading on the time commitment, but super speedy afterward and you don't have to remember what the heck you used to beat that particular opponent. But yeah, if I'm about to use a tier 3 pet in battle... I obviously want to use my tier 3 set.

A challenger sorting feature would be great! Or even just a favorites page for the challengers you need to farm the eggs for low level pets/get achievements/get loot/farm tomes/etc.

And for the 1000th time, LESS TEXT. The battle field looks like a warzone with the scrolling and giant descriptions of attacks no one bothers to read. Upvote x infiniti.

Would pay for more weapon sets, working out a good strategy for something, and then having to overwrite the set later on kinda sucks.

Auto-selection by default sounds great too.

I forgot the page jumps like that by default. Here's a version that looks the same as yours, but it makes sure there's room for extra long weapon names. /** keep selected weapons still / / --selected weapon heights / .battle-select[id^="weapon"] { height:155px; position:relative; padding:5px 0 0; } / --make space for active weapon arrow / .battle-select[id^="weapon"] .preview_img { margin:20px 0 5px; } / --position active weapon arrow/ .battle-select > .arrow { position:absolute; top:8px; left:0; width:100%; line-height:1; } /* --allow 3 line weapon names */ .battle-select { line-height:1.3; }

If I'm reading this right, you want pre-selection to be always on with preferably no option to turn it off?

That's a hard pass from me.

Can we also have a couple of options in how the armory is ordered too? Like, one option to organize by lowest tier to highest tier weapons (and vice-versa), another to list alphabetically, and a third to organize by a specified element (physical, electric, etc.).

Sometimes I have trouble memorizing a weapon's predominant element for either blocking and/or attacking, or can't find a T6 weapon in my mess of an armory since I have multiple battle pets at various tiers.

I want to organize my armory for better ease so I'm not wasting time trying to locate something, or having to hover over each weapon cause I can't remember their associated element.

Also, yes to a potions trunk, anything that is a one use equippable "potion" (quotations cause throwing vials fall under this category), please make it happen. I don't want to store those things in my vault. I'd rather keep everything battle-related in one area of the site and not have to venture into the hell that is my inventory.

And some way to be able to able to distinguish scaling weapons, perhaps show what level they currently are for you active pet? I was ignoring weapons I had forever until I learned that they scale and even now forget all of them that do and have to do research off site.

Ooh, yes, scalers need to be made more obvious somehow. Just write "scaler" somewhere in the item description.

Not sure if this was mentioned or added if so please ignore.

Have a button at the end of each battle giving us the option to battle with the same set we went into the battle with, that way you don't have to go to a new page then get back to battling. This would make things easier and quicker if you are battling well beyond 10 wins. Specially on the easier challengers.

Also tweak the other button to say "adjust sets" or something like that so if you do have to fix anything you still can get back to that page to make your adjustments before you battle on.

Why? There is literally no reason to ever turn it off. Give me a scenario where there is a benefit.

I don't use it and don't want to be forced to use it. The benefit is that not being forced to use it means I'm not annoyed.

So you don’t have a reason? Thanks for the super constructive feedback.

You want it removed because you don't like having that box there. I'm fine if they move it to the bottom of the page which is another option you mentioned, but there's no need to remove it entirely.

This + some haha. Every time I have to switch out one or two weapons it is such a nuisance. I'd like to be able to just click a weapon out of my set rather than search the list of all my weapons to deselect. Then scroll through my low tier weapons to find the one I need. Especially when I'm training lower tier pets I have to make a custom set. Or if I want to switch one item out I have to search my list.
