Buff Context Toggle

Postby WRB852 » Sun Nov 21, 2010 12:12 pm

Simply put, a toggle button in the Attributes menu that would toggle whether to display buffed, or de-buffed values. I'm thinking a small one up to the right of where it says "Base Attributes".

Are you aware that you can hover the mouse pointer of them to get a tooltip telling you the unbuffed values?

Yes, it's just somewhat annoying having to remember all your values like that when deciding what needs to be increased, etc.

For what it's worth, I think it's a pretty simple addition to the game.

+1 to OP idea.

Most every time I plan a feast (which means nearly all time spent playing), I try to focus down to a selection of 2-4 attributes that i want to raise.

It is slightly painful to go back and forth hovering over the attributes, trying to memorize the 8 unmodded values.

A simple UI button to toggle buffs on/off (on both skills and attributes) seems like a small, nonintrusive change.

I know the unmodified list already exist on the website under "Account".

There is enough room in the UI to show the base values and effective value with all buffs, like:

Strength: 387 (582)

Yep, toggles are unnecessary - [x] Toggle show tautologies.

+1 to Grangers variation showing both modded and unmodded stat simultaneously.
