As you've seen with the most recent character stats pages, we've been working on creating a new format that is both easier to digest for new players and can eventually be updated for future ascensions. Eventually all new character info will be linked to a new MPQ website that I'm currently working on which is why it's currently being presented as screenshots. The intent is definitely not to do screenshots in the long run.

That's not to say I'm giving up on the grid system. I think it has some great utility so if you've got any suggestions for how to improve it, please feel free to share in this thread.

The blow excel will give you an idea of how we approached this rework. The color coding was meant to make things easier to understand and cross reference to the color coding in the chart, but I think that could be helped if we labeled the stats in the base description with an "A", "B", or "C". Another issue with its formatting is that it's not very mobile friendly so it'll likely need to be reformatted for a portrait reading flow.

    Not a fan of the grid, too many lines, looks too busy. I like the color coding aspect of it, but it's a LOT of stuff to cram in with powers that change every level. Maybe a way to look at it in a simple format, and then use mouseover or a dropdown menu or expandable/collapsible section that expands on it?

    Thanks folks. We're going to just keep using the text version for now. With Yume's departure, I'm not going to have much bandwidth to tackle this so it'll save me time to keep as is.
