[Suggestion][UI] Make the rarity of traits more visible

Hello everybody,

when leveling up - at least when I'm new to the game, I have to hover every single trait to see how rare it is - I thing rarity is pretty important as I will rather pick rare ones even if a common/uncommon one is a bit better at that point in time. It would be nice if that could be indicated by some kind of color. Also it would be nice if they were sorted according to their rarity (rarest at the top)

I disagree completely.  I think the rarity of traits should not be visible at all.  Like you, I find myself often picking traits based on their rarity.  I think we should have to play the game a few times to figure out how rare each trait is.  I think this would affect two things:

1. I would pick traits based on current need or perceived utility.

2. Over time, I would realize that there are some traits I should pick whenever I see them, because I'm unlikely to get that option again.

 

As a side note, it seems to me that some of the "rare" traits appear over and over again and don't seem very rare at all.  Rare should mean that I'm unlikely to see it more than a couple of times in a game, whereas I often seem the same rare traits as options every time I level up.  Perhaps we should only get three trait options at each level, rather than five.

But this way you have to look at every trait every time you level up - so do a mouse over for every trait. That's really annoying to me. I'd rather have the UI present it to me.

I am indifferent to how they display talent rarity.

There are no rare traits at this point really because there is only like 10 unbalanced traits per path at this point, half of them available to all classes. Although I do support less options between traits when we lv I am sure as more content is added we will see actual RARE traits.

I agree with the OP. 

You should be excited to see a rare trait because (1) Rare should be rare, and (2) The UI should highlight uncommon and rare traits to enhance excitement.

Yes =)

Plus I have to say that maybe right now rare traits aren't exactly rare enough... I believe I got one almost every time I level up.

I would like this too.   A lot of simple UI tricks like this are missing.
