What we want in a loot filter

[AndrewTilley]

Well, this is what we know of the loot filter thus far;

The loot filter will be created with our crafting system in mind. It will be possible to filter by aspects of an item such as affix count and whether one or more affixes from a list are present on it. We’ll announce additional details closer to its implementation.”

The loot filter will be in-game, and out of the games I’ve personally played, would most closely resemble the one found in Grim Dawn.

With regards to the loot filter. It’s going to be very unique because our crafting system means that you’ll be wanting to filter items by very different criteria than those other games.

The interface will be more similar to GD in that it’s in game. You’ll be able to do things like save multiple filter profiles.

The current plan is to make a list of rules like “show all items with a fire damage affix” or hide all items with less than 5 total tiers" if a one tier fire damage item drops, it will show up if the first one is higher but will be hidden if the second one is higher.

This isn’t created yet so it could dramatically change.

If it does turn out to be anything like Grim Dawn's loot filter it's going to be pretty robust and easy to use. It was also added fairly recently, like within the past 6 months or so (or maybe longer as time flies).
