    A Couple UI Requests

    Hello. I have some UI suggestions/requests and no idea where else to put them, so here ya go:

    - If possible, please add the option of whether to turn dialogue auto-advance on/off (as well as set speed) to one of the config menus.
    Its great having the option in cutscenes themselves, but being able to turn it on or off without actually having to be in a cutscene, as well, would be ideal.

    As an addition, could we please also get separate settings for voiced vs unvoiced?

    I'd personally like to auto-advance voiced dialogue(cus it flows better) while not having unvoiced dialogue advance till I press a button b/c I sometimes read rather slowly. I get around this currently by setting the speed of advance to the lowest setting, but it'd just be a nice extra thing to be able to set their auto-advance options separately, if possible.
    - If possible, please add a "Pass All" or "Pass Remaining" button to the loot roll window.
    Reasoning seems fairly self-explanatory, but once you hit a certain amount of loot, its just a pain to click or cycle thru every object in the list and click pass on everything you don't want after you've already rolled on what you do. As well as doing so in cases where you want none of the loot, but you still want to stick around in the instance to see a teammate get their roll.

    Not to mention there's always the possibility of accidentally needing/greeding something you don't mean to as you try to hurriedly cycle to the pass button on every item. Of course, you could also accidentally hit the new "Pass All" button when you don't intend to, but it's just the same risk as the current Pass button so I don't see that as a particular downside.


    If anyone else has UI requests/suggestions, feel free to add.

    this is stupidly minor but a dialogue text log during cutscenes would be nice. Sometimes I accidentally skip a piece of cutscene dialogue like the troglodyte that I'am and miss something a character said.

    You're in luck, b/c cutscene dialogue actually is recorded in the chat window. You can set which tab in the chat window shows it in the log settings (gear box icon) for each tab. Its under "General" once you bring up the log settings window, I believe. I think the option you want checked is "General Dialogue". Default color for it is green.

    Then you can just bring up the chat window in a cutscene to see the dialogue you missed (hit the touch pad on PS4, hit enter on PC, or hit the share button on PS4 controller on PC) and then hit square or right click to hide it again. Right clicking will usually simultaneously advance dialogue to the next bubble, though, just fyi. Square on a controller doesn't seem to do that.

    You don't need to add it to the General chat tab. It goes into Event by default.

    It does seem to miss "unboxed" text where it's just white text on the screen, normally for voiceover narration.

    personally id like to just turn off auto advance in so many EW cutscenes that bypass me making sure its always off.
    my ADD makes it hard to intake info sometimes, and i need to NOT advance the dialogue, so i can snap out of my ADD, and reread it for the 50th time, and actually intake it.
    but it felt like 20% of the cutscenes forced the dialogue to continue, leaving me unable to pay attention, and rewatch the entire cutecene multiple times just to intake information.
    i could just read the green text, but then id lose the emotion being applied in the scene.
    the cutscene is progressing anyways, so if i miss important info for some sort of reveal, im getting the reveal before i intook the build up towards it. etc.

    i know some cutscenes require it for a minute or so, due to character actions needing to line up with dialogue, but entire conversations like the dinner table scene in your room... that did NOT need it.

    This right here! With each scene I'm wondering "are they gonna talk?" ready to hit space.

    Me too, stray click and I miss something. I wish I could be sure all scenes would end up in the Unending Journey.

    (1) I'd love to have a persistent toggle that causes the examine window to show the glamour items instead of the base equipment items, when we examine a player.

    Persistent, so that it stays the way we toggle it. There are people who couldn't care less about glamour so they would continue to get their old examine; and for people who look at glamour but don't care about the actual equipment, we can always immediately see the glamour.

    (2) A completely new section in the Crafting Log for glamour items from all levels and classes would be great. Saves the trouble of searching for recipes (especially when you just can't recall the name, you know).
