Please BB, do not inflict this dreadful change on us, it suddenly appeared on the French (guinea pig) servers last night and has made the menu almost unusable.
Whoever designed this change clearly never plays the game for real. Sure, there's several "sort" options available, but they're nearly all absolutely useless, who on Earth would want to sort the entire menu by "date order"?
In its "default" mode it's messed up the familiar listing which means that known specialists are no longer in their usual place, so instead of sending off that geo or lucky you've specialised for a certain task, now you must first find which one he is.
For some reason, Marshalls appear in between explorers, so you're going back on yourself to make sure you haven't missed one.
The 3 most common buffs, which used to sit happily next to each other, are now on different pages, so even more time is wasted scrolling back and forth.
You would think that by selecting two sort options, you might be able to get the menu back into some kind of workable order, but oh no, the Devs scuppered that by ensuring thast you could only use 1 sorting option globally. Thus, if you had been able to select to sort by "Type" and then by "Date", the result would be closer to the familiar pattern we've got used to over 5 years of use. Nope, not a chance. Whichever of the 5 options you select, you end up with a messy star menu that is just plain counter-intuitive.
The old way may have its faults, but this "update" just makes the whole thing so much worse.
What were they thinking?

Slightly nervous now...

Any other feedback from those who have tried?

Omg, sound that new menu is a lot bad, why they just make it as what players want?

hmmm and 4 pages of feedback on test about it. Perhaps not ready to roll it out then...

The sorting is no good, it just acts like the items and specialists are files in a folder.

It would be more reasonable to have a custom sort where you simply drag and drop stuff into whatever order is preferred.

That's what I would really hope for. As a compromise (at least for the specialists) perhaps be able to sort by their custom name (the one we can change). Then (just like I sometimes do with folders) I could label them 1_xxx, 2_xxx, 3_xxx, etc. and control the display order that way.

A function to sort the Star menu by "last used", would be handy i think. Certainly for the buffs.

Isn't the current order by date so to find your specialized geo or explorer, you just have to use that sorting?

I think the the idea came from players this time, complaining about not able to play because their MMA's aren't next to each other.

So they still haven't fixed the landing zone of Secluded Experiments eh? Its a pain to move generals from star menu to the land, only 2 of the spots work
