I've been enjoying this update so far but I've got a few minor issues and suggestions to make about this update.
I also might have ranted for too long so here's a (hopefully) short tl;dr:
It's hard to align buttons so a grid would be useful and the current system has enough potential to support other button types to make combat more efficient
- First, the most important thing I'd like to mention that there isn't an option to snap buttons to a grid which makes it really difficult align buttons in a straight line or use the limited space with maximum efficiency especially with smaller buttons that can hide under a finger
- I think this new system is amazing but it would be better if we had more options for buttons to add. My suggestions are:
- A button for the rod of discord. The rod of discord is an extremely useful item but on mobile its uses are limited because it takes too much time to swap between slots mid-fight but with a dedicated button this could be solved and this amazing item can be as good as on pc or maybe even better
- A button for dashes like shield of cthulu or ninja tabi. The existing controls are fine for dashes in most cases in singleplayer but when it gets laggy the game won't register double taps that easily (this mostly happens with multiplayer, pillars and invasions) and for that reason an option would be useful
- A Button to either quickly swap slots and/or use an item in a different slot. I made point earlier that quick-swapping is very difficult and lot of the time attempting to swap between items mid-fight can cost the entire fight. This function would be really useful for all classes to have quick access to debuffs or healing
- The ability to resize all control areas individually. I prefer the aesthetics of smaller hud elements but it's easier to play with larger controls
- A dedicated button to swap between presets next to quick sort to quickly switch between presets
- The middle are between the two control areas should be free to place buttons in
- The ability to move other existing hud elements into the control area (like the map icon)
