Single Faction selection screen

Hi,

I am not really fond of the faction selection screens introduced in 1.2 that seperates Item Factions from End Game Factions. I feel a bit tedious to have to go back and forth to check either Memory Ambers/Weaver Tree or CoF Favor/Prophecies.

I would rather prefer the logic of a single selection screen. I am not sure we need all the information displayed on the current faction selection screens (like the progress bar ?), so maybe display miniatures with only the important information ; the detail being available of the selected Faction screen.

I think they did it this way because of their intention to add more and more factions over time, which would make the screen cluttered and clunky if you just displayed them all at once.

What I would rather have is a tabbed window where it defaults to the chosen factions (maybe in a list format) and another tab for the current layout.

Yes, I agree, it makes sense that EHG prepares for more factions to come.

Still, I think it would be possible to have a single screen that summarizes the current state. For example, for the Weaver Faction, the only info I need at a glance is : current Faction Level, Memory Amber count and a button to open the Weaver Tree. I believe it should be possible to display these info within a smaller Faction card.

In any case, any solution that would solve the switching back and forth would interest me :slight_smile:

I find it also a bit tedious to navigate back and forth. My improvement ideas regarding this are to add additional keybinding options for the faction menus and also for the weavers tree menu and the prophecies menu. Additionally separate portals which ports you to Masque, the market place and the observatory would be nice.

Dunno… If the intention of EHG is to add progressively more and more factions, I don’t know if a keybinding solution would be viable on the long run. I fear that we get stuck at some point, by not having enough keys on the keyboard to bind to different faction screens :slight_smile:

I would definitely like to have a quick access button to Masque in the Weaver Faction screen (the same way, we have a quick access button to the Observatory in the CoF screen).

Another thought I had for the Item Factions cards is that, once a player has selected one of the two factions, we don’t need to see the another faction screen in length (if I choose CoF, the full MG screen does not bring me any valuable information). Aside from the card for the item faction we chose, we only need a single button if we want to switch to the other item faction.

I think the screen between the one with subfaction selection is truly not needed. Just list factions in grid/list manner (better if they all on screen). Now it’s click click terrible
