What in-game Info/Interface Screens you would like to see?

There has been a lot of talk about PvP, PvE, Races, Classes, Gear, etc; how about we discuss what information we would like to see in game about, screens such as:
  1. Character Screen
  2. Inventory Screen
  3. Paper Doll
  4. Skill Screen / Stats
  5. In-game Mail
  6. Market Screen
  7. Trading Screen
  8. Crafting Screen
  9. Guild Screen
  10. In-Game shop
  11. Other
Generally, personal preference for a clean, clear interfaces so that it is easy to read/view

Character Screen
I would like to see my character as:
  • 3d, 
  • rotatable and a 
  • decent size
Inventory Screen
I would like to see options to:
  • turn on / off helmets/robes
  • display a bag of various sizes relative to my own inventory size for others to view me looking at my bag
  • Sort by value, most recent/oldest, alphabetical, grade
  • Separate by at least a few categories; ie armor, weapons, resourses, potions
Skill screen
  • Perhaps the ability to preview change of stats prior to commiting
Trading Page
  • Perhaps the ability to have some trader stats ie number of completed trades, number of recommendations. 
  • no need for negative review to avoid griefing
Leader/Achievement/Bounty Boards
I have found some of the MMORPGs that do keep leader boards list the names of the leaders. Now if you are not fortunate enough to be in the right circles/time zone to see / know these players, the names are just names. 

I would like to see something like a click on name from the list and an independent screen like your own character screen, where you can view the person on the leader in 3d, rotate enjoy.
Look to admire, look to emulate, look to know who to look out for in pvp etc.

Market
ESO addon for market place kept a nice running graph of market stats, relative to your own isloated guild experience. This was a fantastic tool to know where you were at market wise for sales and purchases without unfair influence on the market.

As there are not likely to be addons in-game, and to avoid 3d party intervention by some, I would love to see something like this in game.

In-Game Shop.
ESO did a reasonable job of showing what to buy but a very poor job of showing what it is, by preview, just too small sometimes to assess.
Black Desert Online, did a wonderful effort in their cash shop with very detailed items and when previewing, the items were at a very decent size to assess.

Random Stats Screen
Sea of Thieves put out a email with game stats which were random/trivial but fun to know.
In theirs it listed things like 740,232 cannon balls were fired this month, 8,200,000 gold treasure found.
In this game listing things like:
  • Most PvP kills
  • Most damage dealt
  • Most resources of x obtained
  • Most trades completed by individual
  • Most trade runs completed between two nodes
  • Most active node
  • Least active node
  • and so on!
What info and/or style of support screens would you like to see?

Comments

  • everything you've listed is pretty basic stuff in MMO's now days.

  • Yep. That's all good! My priority as a guild leader would be a good guild management system.

    A collection tab for mounts, pets, skins, like in WoW.
  • Just a thought, wouldn't it be cool if your UI (the skin, not the functional aspect) evolves as your affiliated node levels? Science metropolis citizens will have extremely steampunk interfaces, military ones will have armored/fortified looking ones, etc. 
  • I would like a customizable UI. So I can arrange it to my preference, make them bigger/smaller. Also , because I play from my sofa, I am hoping that I can adjust the font size of all text (tooltips, quest dialogue, chat,)
