I like to write, so if you like reading continue below…
If you’d rather watch a video with chapter markers, I made one demonstrating the problems/solutions:
Frustrating Inventory Issues Video
Basically, two issues when swapping/comparing weapons and armor on the Inventory Screen:
- Update weight class bar when hovering over items
- 1-to-1 Swapping of items
1. Live Weight Class Bar
I absolutely love how dodging works in this game.
- Fast - Dashes very quickly in a straight line
- Normal - Rolls quickly in any direction (steerable)
- Heavy - Rolls slower in any direction (steerable), and option to bum rush
Because weight class has such a huge impact on gameplay, I would love to see the weight class bar update in real-time as you hover over items on the left. With so much gear in the game, every bit of time you can shave off when comparing would be so welcomed.
2. Swapping
This is where my bigger gripe comes in. When swapping items, the item that is highlighted on the left should go directly into the slot on your character on the right and vice-versa. The item that was previously equipped should go directly into the slot that was highlighted on the left.
Items in your bag shouldn’t move around when swapping out two items. Currently, the items in the row of inventory do a sort of right-to-left rotation regardless of what type of item it is. This means you may be trying out different gloves, but suddenly when you click again (because you expect your old gloves to be in the highlighted slot on the left you’re currently in), you’re confused because now your pants have changed.
The video does a much better job of explaining and I made sure to include chapter markers to the specific points I’m trying to make here.
Thank you for such a great game and for listening to our feedback! Y’all rock!
