Magic and Ability List Sorting Reset

[Trumpy]

Although they did not mention it ahead of time, the fact you were surprised during a fight with a NM on your RDM by the change shows you didnt at least read the update notes? More people really should read these things, it really doesnt take as long and I am sure many people will find many useful things in there they normally dont find out til months afterwards on happenstance. You could probably read them while your update downloads in fact, I know i do and im kinda a slow reader.

I agree with Trumpy... every single update they have ever released has had minor changes, additions, etc that were not advertised before the update. They do, however, appear on the update notes. SE has no obligation to announce/vet every detail on this forum before they launch an update. Frankly, Kraggy, your "unacceptable" rant is unacceptable.

well thats nice to know Camate. I always hate when i find my blu spell list reset. Cause i keep them in a very specific order. And it always gets reset randomly when i log in. Least this time i no why.

Is their any way you could add a sort feature to blu magic (in addition to auto and manual) that would sort all currently set blu spells to the top of the list? That would help save a lot of time when have to reorganize everything.

I dunno about you others, but I always read the release notes when version updates happen.

I thought the explanation was reasonable enough. They needed to change a lot of the information related to the current spell list in order to make it possible to add new spells, and in the process, keeping the existing manual-sort data in place was hard to do (because, as they admitted, the old data structure was a real mess), so it was just reset instead. Hopefully, the new spell data is made in a way that is easier to deal with if they need to make changes in the future.

Sucks that we have to reorder the list, but it's not exactly the end of the world.

Heh, I didn't even remember reading it in the update notes, which I always do read, but after looking back, I remembered I did... well, sort of. I think I was distracted by something(s) at the time, which is probably why it didn't stick, but in any case, the entry about it is rather poorly done. It's easy to miss, and looks like a side-note (as in, not something as major as it actually is).

The fact that they posted about this is probably a proof of a lot of people missing that little note, so I wouldn't go and assume people just don't read them at all (which no doubt true in lots of cases).
