    Here's a few changes I think would improve the usability of the game, listed in the order of priority.

    Add the ability to:
    • Cancel a move (Not possible)
    • View enemy sightlines when moving
    • Change items after clicking "Take all and continue" (Added in 1.35)
    • Change items before starting the first battle of a quest (Added in 1.35)
    • Quit and resume in the middle of a battle (This one's probably asking too much, I know)
    And one more thing, let's say I lose the first battle of a quest. It tells me I have 3 retries left, and retrying the first battle uses one up. But...I can get a free retry by abandoning the quest, then coming right back to it. Why make me go through that trouble? Just make it free to retry the first battle.

    Edit: 2 of these suggestions made it into the 1.35 patch.

    You can change items before clicking that button. In fact, it's safe to close your browser on that screen; your items will be waiting in the chest when you return and you'll still have time to change your equipment.

    Yeah, that works well if you remember to do it. Sometimes I mean to change my equipment, but I click "Take all and continue" before I remember to make the change.

    The whole "cancel move" discussion is an old one. You should be able to search the forums and find much discussion of it. But the bottom line is this:

    You cannot cancel a move because the act of activating a move card potentially activates a number of uncertain effects, revealing cards and rolling dice. Thus, there can be no takebacksies.

    Ah, that's unfortunate. Though I am amused by the word "takebacksies".

    So cancelling moves is out, but I believe that still leaves 3 reasonable requests in my list.
