The Good, the Bad, The Ugly. Refined Patch homeowners experience

Ok. I’ll summarize as best I can. Starting with Good, then Bad, then Ugly.

Good news! I really don’t have much. You can sort your gear by type (head shoulders knees and toes style) I spent the last two hours reshuffling my homes and equipment and consolidating them into two homes, the roost, and the homestead, in order to get a feel for how the system works now. And I cannot say that I’m overly impressed with what’s been added.

Bad. While it’s true that you can now sort your gear by type you cannot sort your gear by level. I now have new levels to contend with. 1’s, 3’s, 5’s, 7’s, 9’s, and so on all the way till 21. Why? Why did you do this? I now have so many more boxes than I need for sorting and I also have incomplete sets. Disclaimer (From what I hear when you start a new game this isn’t a problem, but I haven’t done this yet. I’m still hung up over what’s been done to my gear!).

Ugly. Why, in God’s green Earth, did you choose pink as the cursed item? All of your other colors clash terribly with it. Can we pick a different color please please please? It gives me a headache just looking at it.
-Also, why on earth can I not write down what’s in each box? This is a serious offense as just saying there be gear here, or there be potions here, is useless as I can always put my different stuff on different floors so as never to confuse them. I would like to be able to write down that there be intelligence weapons here or faith weapons here, or strength weapons here, or dexterity, and so on and so forth.

This is just my conjecture but I think they changed the color of plagued items because I saw the complaints that said that purple gave the idea that the items were plain better than magic blue items like it is in other games. But the downside system was meant for late game items where you can mitigate them with different methods. So now it is pink to signify it’s not just “purple better”. Personally I don’t find it ugly but I sympathize with those who do.

I like both the purple and magenta, it’s just that if it’s gonna have magenta it needs to have a bit better contrast on the letter fonts.
