TLDR: Please add a checkbox in the settings to let us “reset/reposition” item text when pressing “show/hide items” or “disable loot filter” button, or a separate hotkey. Or just simply improve how “item text is placed” in general.
LONG VERSION AND SOME RANT:
I’ve been trying to find a similar post in the forum for a couple of days now and I just can’t find the right keyword for this. And this issue has been bugging me for years ever since and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talking about it. Anyways:
We know that loot text placement is sometimes not as accurate as the one you’re seeing on your screen. Like if the item text is on the lower left but it was actually somewhere on the upper right. I know the game does this to avoid too much clutter in one spot or to make other loot actually appear on your screen. Also to avoid the similar problem Diablo 2 has, where if there are too much items on one spot, you might miss some of the items you’re looking for.
I just find it annoying due to how many times I’ve already almost died and DIED from trying to loot an item that LOOKS like outside some enemy AoE attack, just for my character walk there and die. You might say “oh y u looting when there are still enemy nearby duhhhh”, well, read carefully what I just said. Nothing could’ve gone wrong if the item was ACTUALLY on the spot where the text is. And it’s not just always about “nearby enemies”, we have spires and those twitching plant that spews out poison that’s like across the planet just to no-scope 1HKO you, or some leftover DoT on the ground from an enemy that just died, etc.
Another problem is that this issue doesn’t reset/reposition the text despite there are already too few loot on the ground. I just usually walk near the item text first too before clicking on it because again, clicking items on the ground is just too stupidly clunky where probably almost everyone in this forum has already made a complaint about–“Click the item 10x, still wont pick it up and character just walks next to it” problem. cough item-pickup hotkey please
So my suggestion would be to maybe add a checkbox in the settings to let us “reset/reposition” item text when pressing “show/hide items” or “disable loot filter” button. Or just simply improve how “item text is placed” in general. I just want an ACCURATE visual feedback on the stuff going on my screen, for and about everything.
