I want a search bar for perks.

Even BHVR can't mess this up....

    You just made it sound like challenge...

    Don't underestimate BHVR.

    Yeah we need a search bar. I run the same build 95% of the time just because I can't be bothered to manually look for different perks.

    I hope they see this (not the challenge part I hope they don't see that part) it would be awesome

    I heard somewhere that a dev said they can't implement that because of the way the UI was designed, so in order for them to implement this, they will need to change the UI first, so yeah, it will take some time, even tho the game is out for 5 years, such basic QoL isn't present.

    It's not hard to iterate through an Array of strings and check if (perk in array.contains(what the person is searching)) get the results and render them to the box on the UI, but yeah(this is just a example, the perk are probably objects like classes, but still, they're probably stored in a list).

    I guess the difficulty comes from the UI itself like they said. The UI isn't flexible to implement this or they managed to create a UI which is bad to maintain(which is the real reason I guess, the menu UI hasn't changed in 5 years, it was made when the game was a bug mess and the devs were probably new to the scenario of creating a game)

    It's not hard to find any perk you want when you realise they're all in alphabetical order...

    Love how they did an in-game UI overhaul but can't be bothered to do one for the outdated menus.

    Another thing they really need to do is saving pre-set builds. I mean sure I can play different characters for different builds, but I prefer playing the same one and switching perks around.

    Also a perk search per character would be good. (and possibly having a mini-picture of the character the perk belongs to next to the perk icon)
