Warning: Long post ahead.
I played other aRPGs before but I personally like LE the most as well as other game genre, so based on my experience, here are some things I would like LE to have in the future as well as improve some of the ones we currently have.
==================================LOOT FILTER==================================
- LOOT FILTER SEARCH RESULT CHECK BOX
- Honestly I don’t know what to call it but what I mean is allow us to have a quick “check all” for the keywords we search in the loot filter especially in the “Affixes” tab since it has the most selection of all.
- For example if I type “Level of” in search, there’s a checkbox to check all ONLY those that came up in the search. Instead of clicking those manually 1 by 1. I am mostly referring to the +skills affixes since I would prefer those to always “show” so I can shatter them for later on.
- LOOT FILTER LABEL/TAG FOR “RARE” AFFIXES
- Have the rare affixes be labeled or tagged as “rare”. We know some of the affixes are much rarer than others.
- Manually checking those in the loot filter search can be a pain sometimes.
- This is mainly for newbies who ““might”” be missing rare affixes without them knowing it’s slightly harder to get than others.
- Just makes it easier to not worry hovering on items 1 by 1 or constantly checking drops on the ground or pick ups.
- This goes well with #1 I mentioned above.
- HIDE LOOT FILTER TOGGLE MESSAGE IN CHAT
- As the name suggests. To prevent the chat being buried quickly for those who toggle this often
=======================================STASH======================================
- SHOW EQUIPPABLE WITHIN CHARACTER LEVEL
- Basically greys out all items outside your character level range.
- For those who likes to make new characters to experiment builds on. This would be very helpful and saves times if they have a ton of items in storage instead of scurrying through tabs just to see which ones are usable for them at that moment.
- Yes, there is an “X” icon at the bottom of an item but I feel like it’s still quite hard to notice especially if the whole page of the stash is full.
- Allows you to hover your eyes quickly on non-greyed out items instead of looking for an item and then see if there’s an “X” on it. (Just to make it less tiring in the eyes, really).
- STASH TAB HIGHLIGHT WHEN SEARCHING
- Adds an animated or glowing highlight on tabs containing some items from your search result.
- You can probably have more than 100+ stash tabs in LE if you’re insanely rich enough. But even with just a few tabs, finding an item can be a pain and sluggish if you don’t know which tab they’re at. Yes other items will be greyed out but checking each tab is very time consuming.
- This will make finding item duplicates easier too.
- Edit: Just a little while ago, I found out we currently have this feature but I feel like it’s quite clunky to use. There’s a downward arrow icon on the right side of the stash called “Quick View” and you will get another search bar that will point out which tab the item you searched is currently at. BUT, if you have this quick view open and used the search bar at the bottom, this will not update the one on the quick view and will NOT show you which tab the item currently is. And my idea of having a highlight for the tabs will not change, I’d still like to see this in the game.
- ACCURATE KEYWORD SEARCH
- Have you tried searching for an item in stash but it’s not greying out those totally unrelated ones? Happens to me pretty often…I don’t know about for other people.
======================================OTHERS=====================================
- ADJUSTABLE UI SCALE
- Self explanatory but I’d like to add that it’ll work very well if you’re playing the game in windowed mode in a much lower resolution.
- Since some UI overlaps with each other, I can’t click the first 2 columns of my inventory to put the key in the UI when doing dungeon when playing at 1600x900 resolution for example.
- MUTE CHARACTER OPTION WITHOUT MUTING NPCs
- Sentinel: Stand down or d… HYYAAAA (This has always bothered me in pretty much every game I played if another voice line will play cancelling the current one). So sometimes I just prefer to have the “Voice” turned off.
- Or increase the delay before a character plays another voice line.
- I know this is just a minor issue.
- FIX MOUSE CLICK WHEN MOVING ITEMS (the only “fix” in this list)
- Another thing that bothers me a lot in LE is that if you click an item and tried to move it around quickly as soon as you click it, most of the time it will just let go.
- Some people have suggested to me before that I should just use drag&drop but it’s not really my thing. Some people and I for example prefer to use single click.
- Of course LE has this feature, it’s just obviously not working properly and it’s been a long time now…
- Edit: This messes up when clicking stash tabs sometimes for me ruining the tab order. One time I just noticed one of my “equipment” tab was under my “idols” tab and I barely noticed due to how much stash tabs I have.
- And lastly PICK UP & DROP ITEM HOTKEY
- I know I have requested this before in the past but it didn’t really get much attention so I will try again. A reason you probably never heard of yet–I have used a controller to play LE and MY GOD, it’s much better to run around because you can literally pick up items while moving without interrupting anything you’re doing.
- When using a mouse, sometimes I click on the item on the ground 2-3 times and my character will just move towards it and not pick it up. This happens pretty much all the time. And if there is something in this game that I despise the most, this is it.
- Using the mouse for almost everything can be pretty tiring sometimes. This causes too much mouse movement that otherwise you could’ve done with a shortcut. So this applies to the “Drop Item” hotkey too really.
- PRETTY PLEASE
- wink*
You’ve made it here. Thank you so much for reading. And I am by no means enforcing these ideas in the game. Of course these are not perfect or might be contradicting some of the features the game has currently, but feel free to share your thoughts or make changes as you see fit. And lastly, if you find some of these useful, please leave a vote so hopefully the devs will take notice and who knows if they actually implement some, which is a win-win for us.
TL;DR
-Loot filter “search select all”
-Loot filter label “rare” affixes (allows it to be searched easily)
-Loot filter enabled/disable removal
-Stash display “currently equippable” (based on level)
-Stash search indicator for tabs (find items in which-tabs easily and this will make finding dupes easier)
-Exact stash search result
-Mute character without muting NPCs
-Adjustable UI scale
-Edit: Added fix mouse click for moving items.
-Pick up/Drop item hotkey
