Hello,
I very often have to do 2 or 3 retries to make a sufficiently precise click on an item while continuing to fight and advance. I think this to be one of the most annoying points in my player experience, as it breaks the rhythm of the main action to have to concentrate on a secondary task.
Having a click box wider than the text box (or have a setting to enlarge enough the text itself) would solve this problem.
TBH, I really donât see making the âboxâ you have to click on a few pixels wider is going to magically make people decide they donât mind doing it & thus stop asking for it. Some people just want to sprint through the game with everything happening automagically & the mobs burst into rainbow cascades of pixels (like in certain other aRPGs).
Actually the idea is more to get people to decide they donât mind stopping playing every 5 seconds to focus on clicking stuff on the floor⌠but maybe Iâm wrong and youâre right and itâs time to take a new step ⌠turn-based hack & slash ! So we really have time to appreciate real and simple things like clicking diligently on each thing! 
I would like to see all common/non-class specific runes/glyphs auto-pickup and auto-added_to_crafting_inv. They wanted to retain some thrill factor around acquiring runes/glyphs, but my excitement waned after my 700th cold res glyph, and 500th shatter rune.
You would be surprised honestly.
Having the ability to filter and customize your loot makes you more attached to it and more willing to pick it up.
if the shards I want have a big pink box I get that dopamine hit and get all the other shards near it
I think the issue is more a filter/perception issue. I sometimes zone out and dont click shards I want because they are an annoying tiny orange text. If EHG wants them to be items, I want to filter them as such. >:(
Yes I think that the interest of not automating the collection of craft items has something to do with the excitement of manually picking up those which are rare, and Iâm ok with that.
But again my suggestion is not about that but about picking up items globally, I shouldnât even have mentioned the story of auto picking up glyphs and shards.
what I find boring is sometimes having to try several times to pick up single item because at the same time we are defending/attacking/looking for points of interest on the map⌠having to stop and concentrating to do that breaks the rhythm, and in my opinion thatâs really not what the game needs right nowâŚ
So yes the pleasure of looting something rare must remain, making sure that it is not a chore would not harm it, quite the contrary.
This is one of my irritants. The filter options are leagues ahead of other games in the genre but lack the most basic side, the crafting âcomponentâ side. The same goes for idols, but we know those are one time rolls. I wouldnât mind having a dungeon that gets a single simple re-roll of existing stats to just improve the values in the range.
I have defined a fairly strict filtering, and even so I know that at least 90% will go directly to the trash because not a good roll etcâŚ
itâs part of this kind of game and even of the fun when you finally discover the one with the right roll of implicits and the right affixes.
But having to stop our progress or back track to pick up something and in most cases say âok trashâŚâ Iâm not maso enough to find that fun 
These two statements are pretty close to being mutually exclusive. If youâre tossing 90% of what you see and pick up, your loot filters are not doing as much for you as they need to be. Iâm also not really sure why youâre even picking things up when you can just look at the tooltips on the ground, since so much of the unfiltered loot is trash. AndâŚ
This is already a feature included in the loot filter system, but it seems you may not know it or be using it? So it seems to me there are probably issues with your process and execution.
To be frank, what youâre saying comes off to me like youâre not making an honest suggestion as much as being coy about what you really want, which is some form of autopickup, because you know youâll get jumped on if you say it outright. Whether or not thatâs true, thatâs how it sounds when you repeatedly bemoan having to pick up loot in a game thatâs about picking up loot.
Youâre railing against a pretty fundamental piece of gameplay for any game that has loot in it. There is no change that can be made to eliminate what you donât like which doesnât also break the entire core gameplay loop. Loot is going to drop on the ground. You are going to have to âstop your progressâ or âback trackâ if you want to pick it up. There is no way around it.
There may be a point at which you need to consider that a loot hunt focused game is not for you.
Dude learns to read before answering trash, and especially accusing me of dishonesty or whatever.
All Iâm suggesting is having the ability to enlarge loot text so you donât click away in the heat of the moment 1 out of 2 times.
I saw the emphasis option in the filters, thank you for your condescension, it enlarges the text but not the area on which you must clickâŚ
I thought that on an early access game I would find an open-minded population, in that I admit that I was seriously mistakenâŚ
Anyway I spent hours on D1 D2 D3, on PoE even more, and other RPGs⌠so your moral lessons and come and explain to me what itâs for me or not, itâs just patheticâŚ
Just to come back, if I may, on the subject, the suggestion is to have a configurable option, everyone being free to use it or not.
I donât see how that encourages people to come and spit their gall here, if itâs not something you would use just move on.
Are you suggesting a hotkey sequence like âcontrol ~â to change text sizes on the fly? If that is what you were meaning, that was not what I got from the original post. So to be direct broncoâs answer is not far off. because you had/have difficulty articulating what you think the problem is as compared to the functioning system, then you start lashing out at him which is against the TOS.
Picking up items has always been a bit âwonky.â
I do not want auto-pickup. Iâd never ask for that nor do I think itâs even remotely necessary.
But there is still something just not intuitive or âquite rightâ about picking stuff up now. Iâm not sure how to vocalize it but when I click on an item I want, I expect my character to walk towards it or, even better not move at all and just pick it up. But often times, my mouse will click on it and then suddenly my character starts to walk in a "completely randomâ direction AWAY from where I just clicked. I immediately react like NO THIS WAY and click back and then it just gets into this loop of not going the right way.
Then you have to make the realization that the stuff on the ground doesnât EXIST in the actual world your character is in and he has to move to where it actually IS in the program world.
It feels wonky and weird. and it has been more than aggravating at certain times that I will often just stop picking stuff up because itâs not worth it.
I donât know how to explain it any better. Iâve not experienced that sort of strange âmaneuveringâ in any other aRPG Iâve played so I donât really have anything to compare it to.
Purely my user experience of it.
Thank you for your concern, but I got a solid C- in my English classes so I think Iâm good.

Itâs far from perfect in this form and could be simpler but the idea is:
That kinda sounds like an issue where there are âtoo manyâ item ground labels so they have to be spread out which means that the labels away from the middle of the group can be significantly further from where the item is on the ground than those labels in the middle. LE doesnât dynamically adjust the positioning of the labels like some other games do as you pick gear up but it will if you turn the ground labels off then on again.
This used to be most obviously a problem in the Lightless Arbour reward room if you went nuts picking options before they were capped.
That doesnât change the size of the box though, only whether the text is capitalised (with the occasional replacement of the name with a random ASCII string just for funzies).
Those boxes are two different sizes.
They are the same height, the emphasised one is obviously wider (approx 214 pixels v 175 from the snip I took)⌠Given ground labels are wider than higher the most effective way to make it easier to click on would be to make it taller rather than making it wider & thatâs not what the emphasis loot filter effect does.
Technically itâs one pixel taller, which would normally be super pedantic but OP did suggest 2-3 pixels in difference. But, more importantly, the ask in the OP was only for more width, and the point was that the Emphasis option does that already as a natural consequence of its function.
Yeah, theyâve talked before about why it happens.
Regardless, it still feels wonky the way picking up gear currently occurs. If you get a horde of shards littering the ground (not just gear) it still happens as well. Always feels a bit âoffâ to me. Not terrible, mind you, but personally it doesnât quite work.
