Report 1750

Report #1750
Skillset: Discernment Skill: Various
 Org: Gaudiguch Status: Completed Jul 2017
Furies' Decision:
Solution 2.
Problem: This QoL report is to address varying degrees of spam in various
classes when using skills such as 'assess', 'contemplate', 'discern'. Currently,
the amount of commands you need to use to decide what you are doing is between 1
and 3. If you are a warrior you can get by with just Assess/Discern. The one
showing wounds, bruising, and bleeding, the other showing mana/ego/power levels.
If you are a Sentinel or Templar you also need to add in Contemplate, to monitor
timewarp/insanity. I feel we can eliminate the need for having to spam multiple
commands and streamline things.
[A: 4 R: 3] Solution #1: Any skill higher in the tree will also show the
 missing information of lower skills. Contemplation
 will show Assessing. Discerning will show Assessing
 and Contemplation.
[A:13 R: 0] Solution #2: Add a single line syntax to Discern (as long as you
 have the complimentary skills): I.E. Discern <args>.
 So you could DISCERN WOUNDS BLEEDING HEALTH etc.

I think that Ciaran's solution is better-- lets a user specifically target the
stuff they want instead of getting -everything-. Please make it a solution 2!

Agree that showing it all may be too spammy. Wounds, bleed, bruise, h/m/e,
timewarp, insanity. That's a lot of lines.

Added Ciaran's solution as Solution 2

Sounds good but it would make more sense to make it a discernment thing instead
of assess to me. Discern target health mana ego bleeding insanity. So that I can
customise it as I want.

Good point, Veyils. Better idea to put it on Discerning, not Assess (because
otherwise you might as well delete all the other assess-type skills in
Discernment.).

I'm for sol. 2 which is similar to the novel of a comment I wrote on report
1676. That would allow you to collapse verbs (which I think is neat at least)
and have to gag much less if at all anymore.

Approve sol2. This is one of the best QoL ideas I've heard.
