I have no idea why this is being de-streamlined into a multi page process, but surely it cannot be working as intended, regardless of that.

While trying to use potions in battle, you are now taken to a popup that shows your pets. If you select one, a yellow box appears around them. Then you have to click Use Item to see a new tab with your potions. However, that pet that you selected and put a yellow box around? Yeah.. that's not counting as selected for this potion now. It errors that you did not pick a pet. So you have to go about it backwards, and select the potion first, even though the pick a pet to use something on page is being tossed at you first.

I believe it has something to do with the fact that we are going to have more than 3 pets in our parties. Right now with only 3 pets the old system did work perfectly, but there's no room for the 4th 5th or 6th pet. It'll take some getting used to, but looking towards the future it's a good set up.

You're right though, I was freaking out thinking I couldn't use potions in the middle of a boss battle this morning until I finally figured out that I had to click the potion first. It would be really helpful if the potion screen came up first, or if you could select the pet and then the potion. As is it's very counter intuitive.

Two reasons. One is as Ash said.

The second is that when the Arena update goes live, you will be able to switch your Party around during battle.

That is the "selecting a pet" part you're talking about. If you select a pet, then select another pet, they will both turn green. If conditions are met, they will swap places at the end of the next turn.

If you wish to use an item, just click "Use Item", select the pet, go back to the party and pick the pet.

In its current phase, it is not streamlined; it's functional. Which is all I was aiming for until I can take more time to improve user friendliness.

So for now, you'll just have to make do until I can take some more time and improve it. Sorry.

Ah, alrighty. That makes a bit more sense, if it's doing other functionalities as well. Hopefully the end version will explain what we're actually doing on the first page a bit better since I just assumed it was 'Pick that pet you want to heal' page. ^^
