Ok I am sorry but I gotta ask this again:

[redacted] order are the mechs in the mechbay sorted by default in? [redacted]

I mean come on - its a little SQL clause after the WHERE clause that goes "Order By [column]" - how hard is it to roll that into production?

Because it takes all of 5 secs to type.


Good grief.



Sorry but sometimes the continuing unfixed stupid little stuff just rears up and bugs you the most some days.

Let's just file that under "List of fixes that should have been caught and implemented in an internal test and will never see the light of day".

UI2.0 is terrible, I actually prefer the original one over this. Too bad we'll never get any actual fixes or customization, much less the option to switch back.

Priority:
(WHERE) Heroes (H) by tonnage (least to greatest)
(WHERE) Champion (C) by tonnage (least to greatest)
(WHERE) Generic (N/A) by tonnage (least to greatest)

I would like the trial mechs moved out of my bay.Never use them and have no need to look at mechs I don't own or want.

This particular patch moved Sarah's Jenner over a slot from the #1 slot to the #2 slot to make room for the Trial Firestarter Champion.

This is WTF of the highest order.

its a hodgepodge indeed when you amass a good selection of mechs.

Also - why are half the controls on the left of the big giant treadmark of a black hole f useless icons (takin 40% of he screen) and the other half of buttons on the other side?

Does PGI secretly feel we all need forearm exercise? ROLLLLLING our mouse way over HERRRRE to click one thing, then ROLLLLLLING it way back down over THERRRRRE to click the next confirmation. Back and forth back and forth. You know, I can think of more enjoyable ways to fap- I mean exercise my forearm.

And also, since I'm piling on:

WHY IS CANCEL THE DEFAULT FOCUS ON CONFIRMATION POPUPS???

AND WHY ARE TWO CONFIMATION POPUPS THAT YOU NEED TO CLICK OK ON CONSECUTIVELY TO PROGRESS MISALIGNED?!?! Meaning, you click OK once, then you got to move your mouse ever so slightly down to click thvery next ok, because nowhere on that first button was any overlap, and we already mentioned since CANCEL is the default focus you cant just hit enter twice to move on.

SOMEONE please buy a UX design patterns manual.

They rearranged the modules too! I think it's in alphabetical order now, because all the "Improved" ones are group together.

Being a business, they prioritize the money making mechs on top, which are the Hero mechs and Champion mechs, I think the reasoning is that they have a c-bill bonus, so they should be played first and more often. I think the rest are then arranged by class (light, medium, heavy, assault), then within each class in alphabetical order. Make sense? Not really. Easier if they just put them all in alphabetical order by chassis names. Atlas on top. Victors on bottom. Done.
