I hate having to stop every other kill to click shards. Thanks. :D, Please add some way to auto pick them up so we can farm efficiently. =^.^=

they have said countless times that they arenāt going to add this. I hope they will at least make the vacuum effect wider. That way if I click on 1 every shard on screen gets picked up. Right now the vacuum effect isnāt wide enough as I will usually have to click on 2 or 3 of them per pack kill.

Is there a specific reason they donāt want to add it?

They want them to be items. Currently they dont feel like that for lots of players, but if they give them auto loot now, they can never take it away which may limit their design for shards later.

I see, thanks for the reply, makes a bit more sense, maybe since Iām only around level 30ās they donāt feel as important like items till I need certain ones to drop or something. My understanding on how important or in what way they are used for end game isnāt really a thing for me yet. Iāll just need to get used to it, or look up a few guides on how to use them properly.
They donāt feel more important later, either.
Itās a design decision made by the devs that they stick on since the first shard dropped in this game. They want to artificially give these things some weight. Even the 2d art for crafting mats in your inventory got an update along the road as well as the newly added animation when you click on āsend to stashā.
I donāt like games that kind of āautoplayā. Automated looting leaves a bad taste for me as we see this in many asia grinders. I dont mind clickin on a single shard and see all ithers being sucked in as well. This already is a nice QoL. Maybe the devs could increase the vacuum radius slightly.
But I still donāt get, why I have to see the crafting mats messing up my inventory and forcing me to click on the āsendā button. This doesnt add weight, it just adds annoyance for me.
But I already have grown a beard from this argument aloneā¦

Pseudo-items. Thongs that modify items but arenāt equipable. Not sure I agree with them.

Im not sure I do either. But I do know that auto pick up limits any future plans of making them more then gold piles on the floor. Because you cannot remove auto loot once you have added it.

I wouldnt mind removing shards from drops completly and moving the aquisition elsewhere. As of now its just a chore picking them up until you have enough to never bother again. This will get stale really fast (at least for me) with seasonal play where i would have to do it every x month.
You did it again buddy. Fix that autocorrect on your phone.

Iām pretty sure itās my subconscious trying to tell me something (I know exactly what & Iām not averse to it but you know, itās a journey).

I also wish weād auto pick them up. Itās especially extra clunky with controller. I like the devs, but this is a weird hill to die on. It adds nothing to the player experience to stop to pick them up, then stop to send them to the crafting bag every so often. Itās just extra gunk in the gears, it doesnāt make the experience better or more valuable.

I would love to see an option for this system to be added. My ADHD wants to pick-up everything but my clicking finger says Iām tired so I end up passing by a lot of stuff I wouldnāt mind storing.
It definitely slows down my micro gameplay when I am in the flow of a zone and its so annoying when I just want to to run and gun. They just end up stacking in my inventory anyway and I have to make another micro-movement to store them.
This is my biggest QOL and would be a cherry on-top if ever changed.
They forget that aside from RARE shards, nobody even registers that they are picking them up, just picking them up on autopilot
Might I suggest a compromise; Add a toggle key for auto looting shards/runes/etc. That way, down the road when there becomes a purpose in having them as items, the player can choose for themselves if theyād like to interact with that facet of the game.
Their point of view though is that this is just autoloot with extra steps (which it is). Especially if you had a very strict loot filter so you only saw the items that you wanted with the affixes you wanted.
I would like to have this. Since there might be very small amount of players that prefer to interact with the shards and inspect them for later on. So having this would give us majority of the player base an option to autoloot it without hurting the other party (those who want to click them on manually).
Besides I think having to click it manually feels like just something you would do in tutorial, once you dump a couple hundreds of hours in the game, it just becomes a bother. And them adding a special animation for the shards if you transfer it doesnāt really help, or make it feel satisfying or mean anything at all imo. And I feel like the game became a bit more laggy when picking up shards but this might be another problem or something has been in the game which I just noticed recently.
And I really donāt see how autolooting makes the game automated or too passive. This is just my stance on this. Peace everyone.
So you didnāt see the post above yours?

Iām not sure what you mean but aside from me agreeing about the toggle feature, I just also pointed out that having autoloot doesnāt make the game automated even if it really is just an āautoloot with extra stepsā. And I said that was just my stance about this topic hence I want the feature to be added. I donāt know why you have to point this one out
I find the shard displaying and looting to be so annoying that I stopped looting them entirely after getting a decent stash of them. Please change this. This is the opposite of fun.
