This skill wheel as you see it will be scaled down to an appropriate size, and will have the option to re-size it, among other customization options.

• The first wheel on the left shows the new location of the menu, room list, cafe, etc. Mousing over the tab makes it extend and access what you need.
• The Skill Wheel on the right shows how you access the emotes by clicking the tab with the dance icon.
• The Skill Wheel in the middle is what I think is an Ideal layout of what it should be. Pushing the "X" you see on the right skill wheel will return you to this one.
  

The Skill Wheel is Intended to optimize your experience as a shaman and being a friendly tool for even the most novice of shamans. However the current format can still be an option for those who do not want to play in full screen or prefer the current format. Having the format of the Skill Wheel open will allow equipped inventory items to stand by themselves and leave extra room to show who gets first place while you are shaman and/or whatever else the programmers want to implement.

The shaman abilities surrounding the Skill Wheel can be scrolled through clockwise or counter-clockwise by using your computer mouse wheel or clicking the up and down arrows. You can also Cycle through the outside shaman abilities by holding down on the up or down arrow, showing 8 other shaman abilities(if possible).The six shaman abilities you see in the center can be customized, and they remain stapled there while you scroll/cycle through the shaman abilities on the out side of the Skill Wheel. All the shaman abilities you see on the Skill Wheel can be customized.

This button exits out of full screen, gets rid of the Skill Wheel and returns to the current layout we have now.
This button opens a window to edit the Skill Wheel, like re-sizing, or hide/set/arrange the order of the abilities.
This button is used simply to move the Skill Wheel. It is just click and drag.

I know there are certain details, I have missed. If you have any concerns/questions let me know. Please let me know what you dislike about this suggestion too so I can adjust things to get more support in the future, but also let me know what you did like so I know what I should keep. Also keep in mind this is merely a prototype I have been working on, I'm sure the Atelier 801 staff would do a much finer job appeasing everyone with this Skill Wheel than I have.

I'd also like to say that I think that this layout has a lot of potential and would be a progressive step by implementing. It can open doors to implementing other great ideas like new emotes, new shaman skills, competitive game modes, etc. I also think it would be a great alternative to using custom hotkeys even though I want that too. I can even see a similar system applied to current or even future Atelier 801 games. Anyways, I hope you guys like the suggestion, not just for what it is, but for what it could be.

good idea! i like it :D

great idea!

great idea!

Genius *-* +1 :3

Support :) Nice suggestion.

Er...i thought u made similar suggestion to this before, but anyway /support :)

Wow this is a great idea. c: I support this!

Looks complicated and would confuse newer players.

sloctave a dit :

Looks complicated and would confuse newer players.

I felt the same way, that is one of the reasons why i left the help button that is part of the menu out of the suggestion. I'd hope that there would be a uncomplicated help button with instruction on how to use it somewhere next to the chat box. Also, I did say that the option of not using the wheel can be available.

However, I would argue that learning how to use the skill wheel is a lot easier than learning how to shaman in the first place.I feel this design is a friendly tool, for even the most novice of shamans and helps to get over the learning curve it takes to be a good shammy. The wheel is pretty strait forward in my opinion. A mouse curious of this new flashy tool will be able to understand most, if not all the mechanics of the wheel itself their first time trying to shaman. Also, being that the menu and emotes are on the wheel as well, they can experience how to navigate through the skill wheel before they have a chance to even be shaman.

it looks easy to navigate through, a lovely idea I'll support \o

Nice idea, I'll give my support~

:D i think is an awesome idea :3 support for u \o/

thanks for everyone's support.

I don't think at this point in time its necessary to have something like this, but I think it would be nice at some point in the future for there to be some sort of customizable interface for those who feel like it would benefit their playing style. Its a nice thought.

Yeah, it may not be necessary but I think it would definitely be nice to have as soon as possible. Sure there are other various things that can be implemented before this is. Though I can't think of anything that can improve this game more than the skill wheel itself. It wouldn't just benefit your playing style it can help players develop one. It would make being a shaman even more appealing because as you get more skills as a shaman you get to incorporate it to you your skill wheel. The ease of access to your shaman powers will make all the difference when confronting obstacles and unexpected situations. It even frees up your inventory and makes new emotes possible.

It is great for competitive/non-competitive game states like dual shaman maps and opens doors to new game modes people have asked for like shaman battles, tribe battles special challenge modes, really anything. I feel something like this along with hotkeys are necessary in order to progress further in those directions. If they are not going to implement anything like those game modes I think it would still be very useful and people would love it.

I think its nice :D
