please alphabetize buffs cast on viewing

[MeliCat]

once again apolgies for not knowing if this has been a) suggested several times b) possible c) a sensible idea to those vets of whose uberness i grovel before...


you know how you select someone and type Z to see what buffs they have on them?

well i've always wished they were sorted alphabetically so i can check what resists were on them and whatever.

and with the ship buffs it's even worse.


i know people are going on and on about the buffs at the top of the screen (hey, two lines - it's already happening anyway and you can sort out your real estate to do alerts there too on the RHS)... but i am exasperated by not being able to look after my party members easily by sorting through all the buffs on their particular person.


comments/ thoughts/ confusion?

**** good idea. As a divine caster I'm often checking the status of party buffs/debuffs, and having to wade through the morass of info that is often there is confusing. Having briefer descriptions of the buffs would help here too.

[BossOfEarth]

I'd like that, or a way to organize them by time until expiration.

You're much nicer than I am. I'm not gonna waste my time checking to see what buffes they have or need. If they want something they need to ask for it.

heh.

actually it's purely from self-interest while pugging a cleric. buff now = less heals later.

highest goal is to pike as much as possible whatever class is being played!

In the UI options menu there is an option to change whether or not you see detailed descriptions. The down side to that is you won't see the timer for the buffs.

Also on the individual's screen too.

I've relogged before and found my buffs to be listed way out of wack.

I couldn't keep track of them so I rebuffed everything.

hover over it to see timer and description

I'd rather the examine window be scrollable so I could actually see everything thathas been cast/placed on characters.

I agree, add a scroll bar please.

I love you rest. I want to have your babies. And by "have your babies" I mean "give you +rep".

Thank you for this OUTSTANDING tip. With luck, this will also let me see my entire MinII Khopesh.

good idea, but only with the viewing window I like looking at my buffs at the top and seeing my zeal about to run out or my haste... ect..

yeah this is a good different idea... but i see see resist whatever in 3 different places... why not put them in alphabetical order?

scroll whatever... but ORDER them...
