This is a variant of my earlier idea, but should be easy to implement and wouldn't impact anyone that didn't want to use it.

I'd like there to be a checkbox on the skill merchant window. If checked, skill merchant display would be as it is now, showing both those skills the merchant would normally offer and all those skills the character has unlocked on this account as well. If unchecked, only those skills the merchant would offer by default would be visible.

This would be helpful in a number of ways. For those of us that like to play multiple characters of the same class it allows us to have that "first time through" experience with the class again. For veterans helping out new players it would allow them to see what skill the new players have access to at a given skill vendor with ease. And best of all, since it's just a check box (and on would be the default, presumably) it in no way affects those that simply want to ignore it.

I know that for myself and several other players I've spoken with this simple change would make the game much more enjoyable and much more replayable.

A similar check box in the skill window for heroes would just be gravy.

/signed but knows it will probably never happen... I can see why some people would want this but for most people it would be a useless change. It would be a cool change though.

Fantastic idea. I really hope it gets implemented.

Vinraith · Dec 13, 2006, 03:55 PM // 15:55

I'm very glad to see support for this, thanks guys.

While at it, it would be nice if you could also include a check box to remove from display the known skills. Less clutter. This could be implemented as a drop-down menu with 4 choices (Classic all, Classic unknown, Account all, Account unknown).

/signed for Vinraith's original idea

/signed for Alaris' expanded idea ^^

Both would seem to be harmless and useful human-friendly interface updates.

Though there is already a drop down for sort by attribute, profession, etc. Maybe just two boxes, "Hide known skills" and "Hide unlocked skills"??? You could use one or both or neither.

I'd definitely like to be able to view all, or parse out unlocked and/or known skills. When I'm advancing through a chapter and hit a trader, I'd like to be able to find the 2-4 skills that he has to sell me rather than scrolling through all the skills for primary and secondary; or worse, find out that he has nothing new to give me.

Vinraith · Dec 14, 2006, 03:02 PM // 15:02

Yeah, I very much like Alaris' expanded idea as well.

And if they add this, please add "(Unlocked)" tags to the menu when using the Signet of Capture.

That makes a lot of sense too, Zexion. I'm surpised they haven't done that, to tell you the truth.

MithranArkanere · Dec 19, 2006, 05:48 PM // 17:48

It woul be even grater adding this too to the Balthazar priests so they hide already purchased or unlocked skills for the current characters.

Couldn't hurt.
