Hi all,

Two simple and obvious suggestions about the UI:

Firstly, I think those big shiny Buttons all the group members have to stand on to advance should be shown on the map like keys, key-gates and elevators.
-All too often I see the entire group run to a button one at a time, turn around and go explore that other branch that we didn't go down, then forget where the button was.

Second, don't hide my energy meters when your asking me if i want to spend 10 energy to go down the elevator.
-Once everyone has gotten into the elevator, it snaps shut, the UI is covered by pretty strips, things happen, numbers wiggle, I get dazzled by the shineys, I forget how much energy I had, then the 10 energy arrow pops up .. hmm how much Mist energy did I have? how much Crystal energy? if I go down can I craft that new recipe I just got? I don't remember! please don't hide it when your asking me to spend it.

Can definitely relate

Can definitely relate with the second option. The first isn't a huge problem, but I have a fairly good memory. Just, PLZ don't hide our mist! I hate hopping on an elevator with my friends only to be abandoned because I didn't have enough!

I would like to add that..

I would like to add that it would be nice to see what choices my teammates made regarding the elevator (Go back to Haven or Descend) because while on the elevator there is not much time and possibility to converse. For example a simple picture pointing down on the teammate's portrait could indicate that the teammate chose to Descend and a picture of a house could indicate that the teammate chose to Go back to Haven.

good point!

Thats true too! Whenever i go down with people i dont know i am always guessing weather or not ill be alone next level and if i should just go up instead! seeing their choice as they make it would really help!
