The mess that is the Crystal UI

dr2ws

Can I just say how unbearable this crystal UI is, it’s just so frustrating to work with.

It’s all mixed up, just everything, the 5* comes first before the 4*, the titan comes first before the basic, the mythic crystal basically swapping positions with the relic crystals.

Though the main crystal tab is okay, please put the paragon and valiant crystals next to each luther please, it’s unorganised and everything feels lumped together.

Not to mention this image here, just an eye soar, it’s super annoying.

Please sort it out, do something, I should be able to remember where a crystal is, but
it’s changing and is just unorganised.

I understand that this isn’t something Kabam are probably too overly concerned about, and most of you guys would prefer bug fixes, but please at least acknowledge the fact that crystal UI’s just don’t look good, and are confusing.

Rant over thanks for reading.

That bothers me too, as does the order of items in the glory/loyalty store, it just seems so random like nobody has given it a thought and just hastily put them there and left them.

What’s actually funny is that the order of appearance seems to change with each update.

My guess, and it is just a guess at this point, is the game does not have a fixed arrangement order for things in the crystal vault. The game is ordering things dynamically based on some kind of process. However, this process sometimes gets disturbed in odd ways when the game is updated, and that causes the visual order of items to change unexpectedly. It is clearly fixable in the short term, because it does get fixed occasionally. But whatever the fix is, it is only good while the data doesn't change. As soon as it does, that can have global repercussions on vault arrangement order.

This has been a problem since forever, and the fact that it hasn't been addressed (in a structural permanent sense) ever (to the best of my knowledge) suggests this is one of those deep dark implementation things that isn't easy to tamper with in the game. Because even when Kabam wants a specific order, it is clear they can't guarantee it. If they had any sort of guaranteed control over things, they would just put the premium crystals at the top. They added a whole extra tab, which suggests to me that was the only way they could guarantee to themselves that crystal would always be at the top - because its the only thing in that tab.

I'm pretty sure it isn't just simply neglect, because if it was easy to fix they'd do it when they got to the point of asking the UI developers to add a whole new element to the vault. It must be something very wonky.

Similar for your EVENTS tabs.

Notice how the 7 champ Vote Events will change order seemingly every time you go check the current vote leaders.

Might have to do with actually clicking inside of some of them (like to check out how your Ally + Friends have been voting for.
And the more recent ones you “peeked” inside of will maybe pop higher up next time looking at the Events ?????

This obviously doesn’t apply to ALL CRYSTALS, as the (normally) 1st tab seems well set in order (maybe some of the top Featured ones might move around (?)

But maybe moreso with 2nd tab (4*, 5*, 6*, etc, crystals, and Feature 5*/6*, Titan, etc)
