Featured contract menu

Is it just me, or the featured contract menu should really get an UI update?

Every time I try to access some legacy featured contract, it takes a minute or two just to get there.

This will only worsen as more and more batches of featured contract are released.

It would be so great if an update can solve this issue.

It desperately needs a toggle to show all contracts, completed contracts and uncompleted contracts - like the toggle available on challenges - imo.

Exactly. A time-based selection like the ets, or theme-based selection like the suits would be even better!

For that matter, when you finish a contract you should have the option to go back to the Contracts menu you were last on rather than always having to go to the main menu first. Alternatively, just a “next contract” option would be good.

That too would be nice!

Not only Featured Contracts menu needs reimagining, but the whole Contracts section

True that. The search for contract and trending contract sections fails to filter quality contracts

yeah, the same contracts have been in the “trending” or “most played last week” since they allowed making contracts in the ICA training facilities …

That is not about that as well.
If you’re playing contracts for let’s say one or few locations by just selecting number of targets and a map, you’ll be troubled to navigate to unplayed contracts as they will be 10-20 or even more pages away and you need to waste few minutes to get to those contracts which hasn’t been played before

Absolutely. I’m pretty sure it used to work like that in the previous games too.

I’m more annoyed by getting booted back to the main menu and having to scroll through all the damn contracts again whenever I finish one, but yeah, it needs a general overhaul.

Definitely needs some improvements. Filtering featured contracts for location would be nice.

Absolutely this! :backhand_index_pointing_up:t2: would be a great addition

They COULD make the FC screen a vertical list of all batch names you can scroll through very quickly. Then if someone wants to recommend a contract they can say “Go to the Winter Wonderland batch” instead of “Go 18 pages in… oh three batches have added since I made that comment, go 20 pages in”

[I am in no way biased as someone with an FC batch from 2020 and with some of the only modded contracts published in FCs :eyes:]

But I know they won’t put in that level of effort this late in the piece, so I guess what Thrison said about filtering completed and uncompleted ones. And maybe the ability to add favourites from FC screen

Perhaps the wonderful @IOI_Artjoms could raise the idea with the online team and get back to us with their response?

There’s even a mod that gives a big ‘Return to Featured Contracts’ pic/button next to the other options.

Edit: Heck! Even Travis made a topic asking us what changes we’d like to see implemented with Contracts Mode. And that’s not even for the menu.

But, just saying. We should’ve learned by now to not hold onto too many expectations.

Noted and added to my list of smaller improvements. I am currently looking to create a list of smaller adjustments, which we could hopefully add in future patches here and there OR have a dedicated patch at some point to add a bunch of QOL updates/improvements.
