I love the new AP status bar.  Something that's been on the UI Improvements idea for as long as I can remember.  Very nice!

I also like that it's position (visible or hidden) is remembered between fights.

Good job.


Teeny-tiny improvement.... tweak the grey background behind the AP bars slightly to make Black AP bar stand out a bit more.... otherwise it's perfect the way it is now!

So who thought it was a good idea to make that AP bar pop up every time anyone gets AP?

If I have that thing minimized I want it to stay that way, not irritate me five times every round.

As an extra tweak, would it be possible to make the tally of each team's strongest colour show in red font instead of white?

With so many characters now having a "strongest colour" condition in their powers, having a simple way of seeing what that colour is would be much welcomed!

My only complaint is that on a small screen it takes up a lot of space. It's valuable information, though, so it's a fine trade.

It's also more apparent just how much AP henchmen really generate on their own. Wow.

Anyone else still side scrolling to see the AP totals? Darn you muscle memory!!!

I like the AP bar, but a few tweaks are needed:
1.  Right now the number of enemies in a wave blocks a portion of the enemy AP.  This needs to be fixed.  It would be great if that fixed was pared with a new display that also showed what wave you are one.
2.  There should be two mode for this:  Always up, or toggle on command.  I like mine always up but it kept getting untoggled which is annoying.  Give us an always on icon in the setting and let the default be on command toggle.
3.  Having the bar always on cut off some of the character designs, but it seems like there's extra space above their heads (at least on my phone).  It would be nice if the character heads hit the ceiling to allow more room for the bar.

Nice to have improvements:
1.  Some indicator showing what each teams most power color is.
2.  Some indicator showing which color is most present on the board.

Problem there is that there are also powers that identify the target's strongest color. ID the team's strongest color, that's useful for Carol and Prof X, but doesn't help with Mordo (targets highest AP pool) or Rogue (targets the strongest color of the character in front), and then you have someone like Nightcrawler (has powers that target the most common color on the board, YOUR strongest color, AND your opponent's strongest color).

Easier to keep that stuff in the individual character powers.

Thank you! Also great changes overall

Very welcome UI change, thanks! As a designer, I just have a little suggestion: the AP bar height could be the same or smaller than the Power Bar, showing only the tab with the arrow icon when behind. At the moment, it shows a little of it's background color, exceeding up and down, compared to the Power Bar.

I like the change, maybe it could be a little thinner , the numbers on the gems or something..... but good job

Hi,
new AP bar is super but I have one idea to create a better bar.
Please add sum of protect, strike and attack tiels.

Maybe as this... :-)

Love the UI change. Been waiting that for a long time.

Hey Brigby, I thought you said only fairly recently that no new UI changes were in the pipeline?

/edit:
Found the comment . Okay, that's about 4 months old, but still.

Now I'm curious if anything like the special tile summary mentioned in @shatland 's original UI idea ( thread ) will ever see the light of day..?

Who says we weren't already using it as a reference to begin with

About the fact that's it's 2 years old?
