Thanks BB , the Star is a vast improvement on the old.

After using it for a while - I'm finding more good but still a lot of bad.
Good:
Being able to have adventures and buffs in alphabetical order is nice.
Being able to filter/search is nice.
Seeing more on each line (more on the screen overall) is nice.
New tabs to add more categories of items is nice.
Bad:
Filter/search remains when you change tabs.
Sort order remains when you change tabs (e.g. is not sticky)
Specialist sorts are all but useless.
Suggestions:
Each tab's sort order should be persistent (I would love it if it would remain even after logging out, but at least during the current session)
Each tab's filter should be persistent and exclusive to that tab (and same note as above)
The specialists should be able to be sorted on (at a minimum) name alone. No other higher sort (type/purchase order/etc). Name and only name. Then I think everyone could get their specialists in an order that appeals to them.
(edit)
What would work best for me personally is 3 tabs - one for generals/marshals, one for geologists and one for explorers, and then sorting by name would order them by their name. In lieu of that I suppose that sorting by name should do name within the overall type (general, geologist, explorer) because that's how I think most people think of them - but if that's too much I could handle purely by name as mentioned above by using some nice naming conventions. How you got the general or when you got it should have nothing to do with it if sorting by name - nor should sub-type (Lucky Explorer vs. Savage Scout for example - they are both explorers to me)

Sorry, but I've slept since then...
I add to the "good" list
movable
pinnable
search with multiple criterias (explorer|savage|iron) (iron is the name of a geologist)
need improvement:
X to clear the search field
remove date as sorting order (or does someone really need it/use it)
remember last 5-10 search

I wasn't sure about it given the feedback from test and what was said prior to its release, and when I first saw it and the jumble of specialists all over the place, my first reaction was `I hate it! ' But thanks to Durin-d and Jolly in chat and once I was back home from VLT I started to put in place their suggestions and have to say its not looking bad. A few days in and I'm beginning to adjust to the places to find buffs etc and my specialists are all in the right order and actually in better positions than old star.
I agree the sorting options are not perfect, and release notes...well I should be use to not getting any of those ! But once again dedicated players saved the day, especially Durin-d, you've got my vote for 500gems, thank you
Are we to be told of adventure changes or not? 1 Month on and still SNEAKY RB changes have not been mentioned
Hi,
is it possible to make group of adv? For example, if you have more then one type of adv, why just don't make one icon and number of adventure in there, like it was with bufs?
Thanks in advance
Thank you.
