QoL Suggestion: Lock Trays during Respec

[Darkneblade]

It will be perfect if we can lock trays manually or automatically during respec, because rearranging powers is often painful and takes too much time.

Thanks.

Or perhaps just a save tray loadout option like we can save binds/window setting, and load our trays as needed.

I'm not sure if this can be done reasonably, since as best as I can tell, when you start a respec you're essentially wiped back to character creation -- you have no powers, except for temps, prestige, and day jobs, so there are no power icons to preserve positions for.

The layout info must be saved somewhere until the respec is complete, though, because it's possible to cancel the respec at any point and have everything go back to how it was.

 

Automatically saving the trays would be perfect, a saveable layout would be a good substitute, too.  Or even as a start, NOT have the game just dump literally every temp power I possess into the trays and then look hopefully at me like a confused puppy that peed on the rug.  Thanks, game.  I guess you tried.

This is a great idea. I'm already coding it in my head in C#. Of course, the code doesn't use C#... Mostly... 😢

They can turn it to server tray then back to normal tray if nothing else works

Pretty much

Not to mention the fact that powers that you can't use don't get put in your trays, which is a pain in the rear for Doms, because after you finish a respec, you have to open your powers window, then find and drag Domination back to your tray,since it gets left out.

It's something I had been thinking of for a long time, and I think it's "low hanging fruit" as far as coding is concerned.

Tired of having to drag and delete a bunch of powers after a respec? Just use the /cleartray command and voila-- nice empty trays to put your powers wherever you want them. This command does *NOT* delete macros, so those stick around!"
