CP UI: Make node order visible

Once your CP is allocated, it's not possible to see which nodes are prerequisites for which.

This makes it really easy to accidentally take points out of a required node and, in the process, take out all the points from all the following nodes.

For example, you can't tell here whether Sprinter (warrior's bellybutton, 10 pts) or Hasty (by his hand, 24 pts) is the parent node. It's Sprinter.

If you think Hasty is the parent node and you try to move points from Sprinter elsewhere, that will deallocate all your red CP except the three isolated nodes in the top left.

    It's really a massive oversight by the UX team to implement a tree with multiple bases and then proceed to display that tree as a web with no indication of flow.

    This is a pain point yes. Atleast a warning message should pop up and ask for confirmation saying you are about lose all the higher nodes if you deallocate from the current node any further.

    Might also make the starter nodes a different color, or have some symbol in the middle of the star once it’s invested.

    I can see this maybe being annoying? They could use some arrows on the lines between the nodes to indicate progress direction instead. IDK, I'll leave the details up to the designers as either option would be miles ahead of the status quo.

    They're likely to tweak the system before next update -keep feedback coming in.

    I personally am likely to tear builds apart and redo them constantly long after the amnesty free period is up though.

    I agree with the OP. We should be able to see all choices at the same time. So, we can see which passives are connected to each other. It would help eliminate taking points out of the wrong trees. It also would make it easier to draw comparisons.
