Feats on CB really need organization

Nov 18, 2010 13:58:45 I'm sure this has been mentioned, but electing feats from the new CB is a nightmare. I'll live with the slowness and even the lack of a mousewheel, I find it very irritating that there is no way to tell if a feat is paragon, heroic, or epic level from the screen without clicking on them. How are we to tell what's a new feat when reaching 11th level?

Also, the brief descriptions available on the old CB without actually clicking on them was VEry handy.

I have no idea why these useful features were removed but there is zero way it is somehow a clearer interface. If it aint broke dont fix it!

EDIT: yes I am aware of the drop down menu to display them by tier. I question whether having 437 heroic feat displayed alphabetically rather than by theme (racial, weapon focus, etc) is useful...

Nov 18, 2010 14:06:54 My biggest beef is that they have used the Essentials style of organizing feats, so you seem to be stuck with things being listed either ALL by tier with no organization, or in the "helpful" categories, like 'Enduring Stamina' feats, or 'Quick Reaction' or whatever. I just want to be able to go back to the way it was, where feats were listed by tier, and then feats that were all really similar went together (MC, Dragonmarks, Heritage, etc). It seems there is no way to get that back though as of yet.

Nov 18, 2010 14:07:33 I happen to agree that the feats selector is rather unwieldy at the moment. Having to select each and every feat before seeing a description is very time consuming and makes it quite difficult to sort through all the chaff, so you really need to know what you're looking for before you begin.

Nov 18, 2010 14:32:22 Yeah - I like the new search filters and such, but a better display would be great. This is the same thing I've been begging for in the compendium - a way to see requirements without having to directly select something. Please add this functionality!
