PC Beta Suggestions / Annoyances

So I finally got linked up and have been playing a bit on the PC. Thought i'd make a post to post things good / bad about it. I would have submitted a ticket but those never seem to go through icon_cry.gif

The few annoying things I have noticed so far are:

[*]If you want to choose what character to attack. It's different from the mobile version in that I can't directly click who I want to attack. So if I want to attack the guy in the back I have to click twice to cycle through rather than letting me select him just by clicking. Has messed me up quite a few times!

[*]I think the powers should still show the name of the power when used like in the mobile version. Reason being it's a lot easier to tell what power they actually just used on you and a big one was with someone like hawkeye and his "avoid" skill. He used it without really indication or reason. But if it popped up and said his power was used it would be a lot less confusing to players.

[*]Also with the powers, While I really like seeing everyone's totals of AP at the top of the screen. I really think you guys should try and implement the power bar thing in the PC too. Reason is because while I can see I now have 8 red AP and 5 yellow AP ect. Unless I have the power requirements for all of my characters memorized I don't know how close I am to being able to use each power just by looking at the straight numbers.

This is just so far from about a day of playing. Not sure what other people have noticed!

    I definitely agree with the third point, being able to see the enemy's AP without having to drag is a huge plus - but there's enough screen real estate on PC to show power bars for all 3 of my characters AND all three enemies. That would be very nice.

    The other big annoyance I've found is on screens that need to scroll - the boost list, event rewards, etc. I keep trying to use my mouse's scroll wheel and nothing happens - instead I have to find a spot that I can click without activating something, drag it a teensy bit, then repeat. Scroll wheel and arrow key support would be much appreciated.

    Keyboard support in general would be nice - for example hitting "S" to click the Skip button would make life much easier!

    There are some ways in which the PC version really shines - as mentioned, seeing the enemy's AP at all times. Also the character info/train screen is beautiful. I don't know if they intend to continue those improvements or want to keep things more in sync with the mobile versions, but if they have the resources I think the PC version could really be a nice Steam F2P.

    I like the info displayed in the powers area, but it all looks pretty clunky. Not a fan of the tabs.

    Would be really nice to be able to simply see a list of your team's powers all at once, especially it's essentially just a text list anyway. Put the character icon in front of the skill name, or throw a portrait/hero icon there or transparent in the background.

    It might just be the small click area that bothers me for swapping through character power lists. Areas to the sides to swap through as well would be nice, if keeping with the tabs below power lists.
    Perhaps a page style setup(with a more techie feel of course) kind of like :
    page/hero 1 - [ ]]] | page/hero 2 [[ ]]| page/hero 3 - [[[ ]
    with full width tabs for the hero icons below perhaps?
