E: ya sorry it looked like wildstar to me? na I never played marvel and that looks awful but I still don't get your point? Where's the loot filter bruh?

my French ass was right anyway. :)

no Im just a grammar nazi, youre not the first one to misspell backpedal

since you dont get my point (actually I know you get it just too stubborn to admit), let me spell it out for you again: players of many arpg/mmo games want a customizable loot filter. many games spit out a lot of loot that is useless to players and they want to filter it out

your whole point hinged on the implied thought of yours that it was only poe in which the screen got cluttered with useless shit. and thats simply not true.

That's all fine and good. They want one and the screen gets cluttered af. This is bad design. I'm not a game designer so i'm not going to sit here and armchair some better solutions, I don't have any.

That doesn't change the fact that the only option they've put forward imo looks half assed.

This is a low cost option that benefits a small minority of players.

The excuse out of the gates that its just too hard to put into the game, is laughable at best.

This is going to put more people off, than it benefits.

SCARY TERRIBLE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION.

I am ok with this solution, those that want to filter the items now HAVE THE OPTION TO DO SO.

Which is first and foremost the most important part of this whole idea.

Could they add an ingame interface that did the same thing? Probably, but at what cost? If you aren't intelligent enough to copy someone else or read the simple instructions you shouldn't be playing PoE, many other ARPG are much easier to smash your face into the keyboard and get shiny things to drop for you.

WHats next GGG, saying to the players: Start studying c++ ,cuz you have to code ur own maps??

pfft...


Or in 2020 GGG ,is asking the players to develop themselves act 6 and mail it to them.

The only game option needed there is:
Reset loot filter to default

Oh, wait, you can do it by just "deleting" all scripts.

Is you're so incompetent you cant script loot filters, then dont script them. Or use the ones someone scripted for you.

You know, World of Warcraft allows usage of GUI modifications. You can play game without them, but any competive player knows he cant be good without them. And scripting for GUI modifications for WoW is WAY more complex, then loot filters in PoE. But it doesnt stop players from doing it, you know.

However, just removing a bulk of "bad drops" from the game would be welcomed, too.

OK lets end this argument once and for all:

1. You do not have to use the filter - it's optional for those of us that do

2. GGG providing a way (albeit ever so slightly more complicated than a UI system for US) to filter loot is something many have always wanted including myself and i'm glad its now in

3. To make a UI version would have cost a lot, it would have took a long time and would have meant time was taken away from other things that improve the game. In addition we probably wouldnt have had even a sniff at it for months if not years. A good solution that has been implemented sooner rather than later is fine by me.

4. Spend 5 minutes reading how to do it and you will have learnt how. I have extremely little coding practice, like 12 years ago at school. I didnt really understand it either. Yet i understood this and made my own script in no time: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1236538

5. GGG's team is small. This is an INDIE game you play for free. Yet it's remarkable how user friendly the whole experience is, despite this being a very complicated game. You are expecting far too much. If we compare the achievements of GGG to Blizzard on their "similar" (ha) game.... They have a better game with 10% of the staff, 1/3 of the time, they listen to their players and what they want (this has always been something people have requested and GGG have said its extremely hard to do with their development team and time). They have found a solution that allows it to be here, with a small amount of effort on our part. That is SENSIBLE.

6. Go find a better arpg if you still arent happy after this post - let me assure you there are none so good luck...
