Now that the update’s just dropped I think now’s a good time to offer ideas I have for some quality of life change to make things easier. If anyone else can think of something then by all means.
First is a rather simple one, I’d like to be able to see how many youth fruits I have without having monsters that need them. It’d just really help to have a better idea of how prepared I am for new stuff or how close I am to maximum capacity, because most of the time I’m kinda left in the dark.
More importantly, I feel like it may be time for a revamped team building ui. My SE roster is absolutely MASSIVE now, and it’s really annoying to have to flip through multiple tiny pages just to reach that one monster that I need. The filter helped for sure, but it doesn’t help a ton with seeking out specific monsters. Can’t even imagine what it’s like for people with 100+ legends. Honestly idk how I’d design it or if it even needs to be that different, just that only being able to see 8 mons at a time is downright cumbersome. At the very least, a sort of folder option that can keep all the boring normal SEs and epics apart, that would be a huge help. Curious what other people’s thoughts are on this.
I’ll try to think of any quality of life changes to add here but with regards to the filter I personally find it very good for finding monsters, you just have to come up with good ways of using it.
My main way (that I’d also recommend): Filter: 5 star monster + one element
When you’re unsure about the exact element select all elements you think it might be.
I barely use the other filter options unless but they’re very useful for having a look at what mortar, poison, etc. monsters I have available to see if there might be something that synergises which I hadn’t thought of. Selecting the number of stars and/or element is a very quick way to filter to what you want.
I suggested a while back that we needed a way to type to search. Any specific word that is in the monsters text. Name, skill names, and skill description.
A great (and probably easy to code) way to help the filter work very well is: By default, the monsters are ordered by “most recently used” within their category.
e.g. When monsters are sorted by stars the 7* monsters are in order of most recently used, 6* monsters are in order of most recently used, etc. When you do a filter for “5* + shadow” then it will give you all the shadow super epics in order of most recently used.
Toggling secret skills messes it up a bit but maybe that could be set to put them right at the back of the list so you can always click to the final page to get those.
Update the “most used” sorting option to include what you actually use. My most used tab is nowhere close to the mons I use the most.
Add a way in which I can “favorite” a mon, add a “favorites” sorting option, and make the “favorites” the default sorting method in the “edit teams” section
Or perhaps tags? Maybe an array of different colors that we can use for different custom categories, and allow those tags to be selected in the filter menu.
This is because when you unlock a secret skill, the game considers the monster to be an entirely new one! My most used monster is Mojinator because I haven’t unlocked his SS 🤷
