Curse

1. The interface for the game needs a good upgrade. I have found that when i want to find a person it is hard to spot them out of the huge crowd that is around. For instance, someone shouts they have cupcakes for sale. I want to find that person. I can click on him to bring his name up top but from there i can't do anything (that i know of) to actually find him out of a crowd. I wish there was a function that when i click on his name a arrow or something appears over his head so i can find him or maybe add a key that when i click on his name and then hit a key it takes me to him.

2. There needs to be some kind of character screen that shows my stats like my AC and damage output and other things like that. This way i can choose which weapon might do best with what armor against X monsters. Sure i could test it but that would involve me actually fighting monsters and then recording all my damages that i hit and doing a lot of math to find out what my average damage was against a specific monster.

3. This upgrad would be for the healers of the group. It would be nice to have better display of the henchmen/pc that are in your group. An interface that would display their hexes and or enchantments would help healers know who needs what healing. The box that sits on the screen and displays the characters stuff is to bulky and ugly. It would be nice if you had the background transparent and you could arrange the list of team members anyway you wanted.

1) you can just click on his name and copy his name from whisper menu and then paste into your party to invite him but yes that is a pian so i wouldnt mind that.

2)ok that would be very cool and it would also be nice if you could do the same with spells, cause as an ele idk if i want to take SH or SS cause i dont know how these enemies resist earth dmg

3)this has been brought up many a times and i would still like it

1)/signed because its a pain to find someone via whispers and groups
2)This is something I would abuse, I do a lot of number crunching so this would be a gift from beyond.
3)I dont see how this is possible without flooding the players health bar with multiple symbols. But I think it can be done. All negative spell effects would have a purple arrow pointing down, with an overlapping symbol to show what that spell is doing. The opposite could be done with green arrows and the same symbol. For example:

A character has Backfire, Feint Heartednes, Healing Breeze and Heart of Holy Flame in that order. At the far left of their health bar would be (P=purple arrow, G=Green arrow): A Sword w/G, a Heart/G a Heart with a Sword overlapping w/P and a Wand w/P

Sword=Attack alteration (Orders, Pacifism, Judges Insight)
Wand=Magic alteration (Backfire, attunements, Stolen Speed)
Shield=Alterations in the way a target deals with dmg (Fortunes, barbs, spirits)
Boot=Movement alterations (Burdens, hastes)
Heart=Health alterations (Regen, Degen, +/- total health)

you both are correct. thanks for the tip on finding people but that seems like a pain in the ass just to do. I agree they could use the same icons that are displayed in your skills menu and then shrink them and put a green or red arrow pointing up or down to indicate the enchant or hex. It would take up more space but then to give the option to turn it off for some characters and on for other is a way to keep space limited. For instance a healer will want to know all of his team mates health, hex, and enchants but a warrior won't care too much for any of that except on the healer who keeps him alive. As a w/mo i can't keep looking back to make sure my healer is able to heal and cast spells. So there are times when i am wondering why no one is getting healed and then realize after it is too late that he was hexed. If i had the icons displayed under his name that represented what hexes he had i would know what i needed to do to help him.
