In chapter 4, you go to war against YOUR INVENTORY! šŸ˜‚

Amirite? :joy:

The UI said hold my ale. :joy:

No custom inventory is…

Funcom knows you don’t need a custom inventory.

We warned them about it when it showed up on the Testlive server to try out the changes. They have said they ā€˜read our feedback’, so we know they knew our desires. Therefore, keeping the patch without a custom inventory must be deliberate.

Funcom knows what you need.
Funcom knows what’s good for you.
Funcom knows best.
Trust Funcom.

(maybe this is like a delayed April Fool’s joke?)

ā€œRead our feedbackā€

Sure they read it and just kept doing whatever BS they were doing anyway. Those surveys were complete joke.

This is the inventory system of an ALPHA state game. Not what should be a polished release.

Just reminding that in the player inventory and also in inventory of every workbench there is the permanently working option ā€œNO SORTINGā€ (top right corner of UI), which means basically the same system as it was before. :slight_smile:

Except that ā€˜No sort’ is non-persistent. Try using it - arrange your invnetory as desired. Then harvest a bunch of stuff and switch to ā€˜Heaviest first’ to offload. Then switch back to ā€˜No sort’ - you have to manually sort your inventory from scratch again.

Oh I did not know that… I was never using any other sorting than none, so I guess this remains a significant problem. :confused:

Let me see if I get this straight… I can’t right click gear to equip it… which is fine, I guess double clicking works… but it doesnt work for consumables. So I have to literally select a thing first, then hit F.

How has this been streamlined?

And just who asked for the removal of the ability to select an amount in splitting stacks? Who was this for? Who was it hurting? and in what sense was it in the way of ANY of the newly introduced functionalities?

These look like changes for the sake of changes, the kind of garbage you see in companies like Meta and Microsoft where you ruin what was a perfectly fine and sometimes perfect design, even removing choice under the guise of ā€œstreamlineā€, simply because the designers have to justify their job still existing.

It really sucks.

I am kinda OCD in some matters, and this is one of those. :smiley: It feels clumsy. Not saying the split option is not handy, but the option of shift splitting and dragging to exact amount should stay no matter what.

my main issue with the sorting is that the selected category isn’t moved straight to the top of the inv and you still have to scroll down, otherwise beside the stupid decision to remove the shift drag and shift-enter drag options I think its fine and didn’t take long to get used to the sorting, even found it quicker to clean out the inv…shift and shift-enter needs reinstating badly though especially for preloading golem inventory to stop them collecting unwanted items i.e. 1 wood in each slot blocks branches being collected or 1 fiber in each slot to block collection of bugs or seed or w/e your preference might be (super clunky with only split option, major QoL fail)

It does not mean the same thing. If you select no sorting. Organize your inventory. Then need to sort via Heaviest… When you switch back to ā€œNo Sortingā€ all your organization work is undone.

It’s dimwit level game dev.

Also, if you’re going to do this for the sake making the inventory experience more consistent… why do we still have hotkeys overlapping when managing inventory and workbenches? Why is Q still both Repair and Take All?

And just who asked for the removal of the ability to select an amount in splitting stacks? Who was this for? Who was it hurting? and in what sense was it in the way of ANY of the newly introduced functionalities?

Absolutely.

No one asked for this. This was not needed. And it’s certainly not Quality of Life, it’s the opposite.

honestly on a pc monitor od 1300 x 768… this at best the worse thing ive seen and well i have astimatism … meaning the white on black tend to bleed and this just makes it worse and the inventory is so tiny … in its pixel size that i have a hard time finding anything let along luck and the auto sort base on item does not work all it does is highlight … dim light the others… it barely noticable now and doesnt even rearrange the icon so its goes to the top. This at best is the worse system ive seen in a while … feel like im playing back before alpha state with a gold polish … if it werent for mod … at this rate id rather RP in discord with MS paints .
