About the forge, most of us think it sucks and we can't get Three Rings to remove it any time soon, so I have a suggestion for it. The forge shouldn't have the star notification symbol above it unless you can actually upgrade. Meaning if you open the forge it shows what has hit the level heat cap and needs crystals to upgrade, but you only see the little yellow star there if you have enough heat crystals to upgrade something. I think if you have a heat amp, then the number of heat crystals needed should be decreased for upgrades. Also, I don't take credit for this idea(and forgot who came up with it, you know who you are though*), but I agree with it.

As for the elevator, this is fairly simple, bring back the "Waiting at lift" status when in parties. It could go right under the health bar, where a status effect would appear if they were on fire, shocked, cursed or whatever.

Feedback on these ideas will be appreciated, thanks for reading.
*If you came up with the idea, tell me in the replies, I will try to credit you if I see who you are.
