It would be very interesting to see how this would look. Ideally, it would be great to have some kind of statistics for each character on the account to check which deeds have been completed, as an option.

I have to say the deed log looks great love the layout and everything, i know its first round of test but a few things:
- Search seems to go back and forth, it works then it doesn't, then works again.
- The graphic image on bottom right doesn't change its same image always, as before in old log each tab has its own graphic image.
- The Deed log at times Freezes the game for several seconds when clicking on tabs, other times its fine though.
- When opening the deed log by default Key, Shift L, it automatically types L in search box.

Also the Haradwaith tab in the deed log is at the bottom i think it should be higher next to all the other region tab, not by itself with other tabs.

My initial thoughts:
- Converting Tabs & Pages into a tree structure seems better suited to future-proofing against new content, but it takes a lot of space. For me, the point of the deed log is to inspect specific deeds, and in this layout there's very little space for a deed. In the old layout, the right panel was dedicated to a deed. In the new layout, part of the right panel is dedicated to all of the deeds of a section.
- You can only expand one category at a time on the left side, even though this is a tree view. (Example: Expand Mordor. Expand Gondor. Expected: Both are expanded. Seen: Mordor is collapsed, Gondor is expanded.) (See Quest Log for how it's useful to expand multiple categories at the same time.)
- You can only expand one deed at a time on the right side. If they're going to be shown in a tree, why not support expanding multiple at the same time?
- As a side-effect of presenting multiple deeds in a single scrolling area, the location of the "Add To Tracker" button is no longer fixed, and not always visible. Before, if a deed was too long its area scrolled and the "Add To Tracker" button stayed fixed. Now, it's always at the bottom of the deed, which means if the deed has a lot of requirements you have to scroll quite a bit to find the button. (Example: "Sites of the Wildwood" has 14 objectives, so the title of the deed has scrolled off the screen by the time you get to the "Add To Tracker" button.) Since only one deed can be open at a time, why make it a challenge to find/click what used to be a very straightforward button?
- The tooltip for deed objectives is missing. (Example: Eriador / Shire / The Farms of the Shire - If you hover over "Find Dora Brownlock's Farm" in the old Deed Log, it says "Dora Browlock owns one of the largest farms near the sleepy village of Waymeet. She has been having trouble with wolves recently." If you hover over it in the new Deed Log, you get no tooltip. I hope you make these tidbits of information more discoverable, not less!
- The search box is broken. Example: Go to Eriador / Bree-land and search for "Ex". the deeds "Explorer of Bree-land" and "Explorer of the Wildwood" should be visible. However, no deeds are visible.
- The search box only applies to the currently selected area (e.g. Bree-land). The search box should search across all categories on the left, hiding those without a match. (See search box in quest log, which doesn't search only in your current quest category.)
- The category list on the left is nonsensical. Ideally it would follow a character's progression through Middle-earth, and all of the regions would be together. The old Deed Log's order of Eriador, Rhovanion, Gondor, Mordor, Haradwaith matched our in-game progression.
- The window is not resizable. Presumably it's been forward-proofed for 4k-style larger displays, so why not let us take advantage of its resizability now? (At the very least, please enable vertical resizability to offset how little space there is to see an individual deed.)
- The checkbox for "Completed" doesn't match the skin in other parts of the UI (see checkboxes in quest log, old deed log, Social panel, etc. I'm not a skinner, but does this mean this window won't be skinnable?
- The Filter By drop-down still doesn't support multi-selection the way the Social window's Class dropdown does.

The deed log is ... more flexible now I guess. Rather meh otherwise.
What is the point behind the weird ordering of categories? Eriador > Rhovanion > Gondor etc would make sense, or alphabetical. But this?
Mordor
Gondor
Rhovanion
Eriador
Instances
Class / Race / Epic
Skirmish
The War
Hobbies
Haradwaith
Good to see that Moria finally appears before Lothlorien.
Shame that the Barrow-downs deeds still haven't been hived off into their own category.
All in all, a slight plus.

It already is shorted by level though, main tabs are from highest to lowest, the only issue is Haradwaith is at the bottom when should be at top above Mordor being the highest level region.

Quirks that need tweaking:
- Search Box works...sometimes.
- Picture in lower right doesn't change with region (yes, I know it's just the first Beta, lol)
- Sometimes there is a good bit of lag between clicking a category/region and it being displayed. The previously region would stick around.
- The switch between 'longer arrow' and short 'arrowhead' to show which category/region was active didn't always switch as it should. Example: I had an instance where I was looking at Birding but the longer arrow was there for both Birding and Fishing (which I'd viewed first).
- The font of the descriptions of the requirements seemed rather wimpy/generic/thin and not as easy to read as the rest of the Deed Log.
- As others have noted, Haradwaith seems out of place. It would be nice to not only have the regional tabs arranged by level, but for the player to choose to display in order of highest levels first or lowest levels first.
- The scroll bar to the right of the list of regions doesn't seem to be interactive. I had to scroll by putting cursor over list of regions.

Deed log feedback.
Graphic design 2/10
Organization 9/10
Possible fixes :
1) Show a different image of each location when selected
2) Put minimize all option
3) Categorize better the deeds between Landscape and socials/race . Haradwaith for example should be along with Eriandor/Rhovanion etc and not bellow social deeds.

I like the look of the new deed log. One thing I have noticed that no one seems to have pointed out yet: the additional info when you hover the mouse above the completed objectives is missing. If this is deliberate, please bring it back, I love reading through these when completing a deed

Heres two screenshots of the new Deed Log
Another thing i notice, on second screenshot left side you cannot click and drag the bar to scroll down, works perfectly fine on the right side clicking and dragging to scroll.
