Nightingale Community Portal
Estate Cards are wonderful in concept but are, sadly, somewhat lacking in terms of their support for their function.
Being able to bookmark a realm for later return is wonderful. Being able to share a realm without needing to be online to invite or leaving a connected portal accessible is also great. You can even mark a realm that you later reroll, even if there's no portal connected to it, if you at least create an Estate card linked to it, which is fantastic if you know that it's possible.
The unfortunate thing is that you can't then catalog or organize these cards and must remember the combination of realm cards and difficulty in order to know where you were and, worse, if you have more than one card for similar things, you have no way of knowing which is wich. There isn't even a way to store them off your character as they are treated differently from standard inventory despite being capable of dropping and picking up cards (the only way to hand them out currently).
Could we please have a pass on this mechanic to make it more functional and user friendly?
Some suggestions:
Allow for user defined naming of cards to separate them
Make cards fully a regular item with a flag to keep them in the separate inventory tab when picked up, so that they can be stored or left in containers for others. Having a card specific item to store them in would also be a cool bit of theming if they really have to be kept separate for some reason. Perhaps craftable, placeable books, small chests, and envelopes for leaving them for others would be options.
Provide a "metadata" field in the UI that shows the realm's discoverer, major cards, difficulty, and any other information that becomes relevant as EA progresses.
Perhaps add toggleable meta tags to make them searchable/sortable as we progress and have more and more realms where we may wish to return to share things we saw or oddities that the procedural system put up.
Thanks for the cool game. Keep up the good work.

There's absolutely no info on which estate card is which when you're putting it into a portal too. I had two from two different people and couldn't tell which was which and got the wrong one.
I especially second being able to put them into chests. Would be nice for sharing cards with others a little easier than just dropping them on the ground.
