Yes. It was annoying before with 4, now it's out of hand. It's great that you are giving new players more options, but WE are not new players! The only time I've used a trial mech since I started was to get the silly achievement.

Yes, please allow me to only display mechs which say "configure" and not "buy". I know how to find and buy mechs without having to accidentally click on them.

Dear gods yes, it's great for new players to have 12 mechs to choose from, but I want to see more than 4 mechs I own whenever I click on the effin mech lab...

1. Make Trial 'mechs ONLY appear in the trial 'mech tab.
2. Add an option in General Settings to default view to the 'Mechlab or Trialbay, set by default to the Trialbay for newbies.

PLEASE make a filter for Trial 'Mechs!

I'm happy you added six more to choose from but PLEASE allow us the OPTION to filter them out if we choose to!

Suggest;

All (includes Trial)
All Owned (Filters out Trial)

I did not know this. Thank you. I check the forums pretty regularly, and I have not seen this mentioned before. Where did you hear about it?

I have seen it on the NGNG forums, looks like they smuggled it in with the May 20th patch without notice. Phil had discovered it.

Everyone wanting a better filter option for Trial Mechs/Owned Mechs/Purchasable Mechs, please post in this thread... let's keep the one topic for this... not 3 or more :ph34r: I'm no forum mod... but it hurts my brain seeing multiple topics about the same thing :)

I have personally always been annoyed with having the trial mechs in the view of my 'owned' mechs. Better filtering would be great, but just putting the trial mechs on a separate list would work for me.

+1 for having only 'owned' mechs in the 'owned' mechs list.

Makes no sense at all I know..

Throwing in my vote here as well. I don't care about the trial 'mechs, I don't use the trial 'mechs, and I don't want to see the trial 'mechs, particularly now that they outnumber the 'mechs I actually own!

UI 2.0 is a horrible usability mess overall, but this one is the one that annoys me the most frequently. I can work around the too-many-clicks-to-do-anything (I've long since stopped logging out the correct way; I just alt+f4 now), I can work around the clunky 'mechbay since I do all my building on Smurfy's, and so on. But there's no workaround for this, and it reminds me it exists every single time I go to launch a match.

I know it's not the intent to be annoying, and I know little QoL issues like this tend to take a back seat to bug squashing and content implementation, but this one is annoying and obstructive and an easy thing to change.

There's already a button that will show nothing but the Trials. Why not a button that will show everything except the trials as well?

I know they're there as surreptitious advertising as 'trial' mechs are now Champion MC only editions. But back in the good old UI1.0 version we had owned, trial and we went to the shop to buy new mechs. I think it should still work like that.
