Reorganize Arsenal Tab (should also be applied to AH).

The current layout of the player arsenal tab is not "friendly" when changing gear or equipping new load outs or looking for specific items quickly.
With the addition of several new items, some of the tabs are becoming over loaded with items - and usually the useful ones you want to look at require the player to scroll through "stuff".

Here's the proposal.

Split "Usable" tab into: Upgrade Slots, Usable and Boxes.

Reorganize tabs from Top --> Bottom:
- Sword, Hand Gun, Bomb, (add a spacer), Helmet, Armor, Shield, Trinket (add a spacer), Costume, Accessories (add a spacer)
- Recipes, Materials, Tokens, (add a spacer), Upgrade Slots, Usable, Boxes, Keys, (add a spacer), Minerals, Artifacts

The advantage of these two changes:

- puts all the equip type items together at the top of the arsenal
- puts costumes and accessories together as they are both cosmetic in sense of game play
- puts all of the crafting type items together
- upgrade slots are currently at the bottom of the usable tab, not user friendly. Giving them their own tab makes them easy to check in terms of when they will expire and would make it easy to find them on the AH.
- love or hate boxes, giving them their own tab makes them easy to find in the inventory - bigger perk really for searching on AH

When I refer to adding a spacer, this would be a blank tab, about 1/2 height of the current tab, just to help further separate the current layout, make it a little quicker to navigate.

There's a search bar. You type 3 letter of what you want to equip and there you go.

Faster than any type of reorganizing.

+0.5 to grouping and spacing

technically there is nothing wrong with how the Arsenal Tab is organized.
You just made a good thing better.

I second this man. I like the order and the spacing idea, but just reorginze it isn't enough I think. You should be able to toggle what you want to see, such as select favourites, or toggle "All shadow weapons/armour" or something.

My only question would be why split the boxes and keys? From my experience most people don't have enough of either to warrent a split, just throw them both into they own tab, having boxes above keys in the drop down.

@ Little-JuancesThere is

@ Little-Juances

There is indeed a search function which I use exclusively on the AH. However - I'm betting there a lot of players who don't do that.
If I only want to look at Upgrades - it's nice if it's just pre-filtered.
I think its just cleaner to sub-divide the categories a bit more.

@Canine - Thank you. The idea was based on that it shouldn't be very hard to code in if OOO wants to do it and that it does improve on the system.

@ The Rankor

Currently when I look at my usable tab - it's just a total mishmash that's organized alphabetically, which doesn't really make sense anymore.
Keys are already a separate tab from boxes - and since you need keys to open normal and mirrored boxes - seemed like the best place to "marry" them.

If I'm OOO - creating a new tab for upgrades - makes them stand out that much more - which likely means more CE spent.

Processing Thoughts of You Always

I would personally like to be able to reorganise the equipment in my Arsenal.
This would help me feel a little better with my OCD tendencies. :B
Having a 'star level' sort option would be nice, too.

So + 1

What about the mythical

What about the mythical Ticket tab? The one that only shows up if you still have a UV ticket from the Solstice event.

Ticket Tab

I forgot there was one of those from the Solstice boxes.

I'd suggest the tabs that relate to crafting would be the best fit.
