Trouble picking items up

Hey all, I've been testing this for awhile to try and figure out what could be causing it. I did a few test cases, here are the results:

- Tried disabling loot filter
- Tried using ONLY the "pickup item key" for key pickup option
- Tried using ONLY the "highlight items key" for key pickup option
- Tried determining whether conflicting or overwritten loot filter rules could've caused it (for example, on my filter all currency is light blue, but I wrap wisdom and portal scrolls in a border color only)

None of these changes improved the problem.

However I did notice a few things concerning behavior - hopefully that helps the developer:

- This problem only happens on Scroll of Wisdom and Portal Scrolls as far as I've seen - there might be other items, but these two are very common and very easy to notice... UPDATE: I kept testing this stuff on a lot of items and found more items affected... my total list of items affected will be at the bottom of this post!
- This only happens if you already have the cursor mouseover on the item and then press key pickup key, which means having the key pickup option disabled ultimately solves the problem but isn't an option for many of us
- This only happens on dropped items from monsters, chests, etc - if you drop it yourself it works just fine and there are no problems, the same thing happens with party members if they drop currency it works just fine and there are no problems
- Reloading the zone fixes the problem
- A party member joining the zone after the item has dropped will have no problems too

List of items affected:
Scroll of Wisdom
Portal Scroll
Orb of Chance
Armourer's Scrap
Orb of Fusing
Medicine Chest - this one is special, it has the problem even if you drop it!
Silk Robe (rare, 2L colors BB, unsure if white/blue has problem)
Compound Bow (white, 4L colors GGGG)
Orb of Transmutation
Orb of Augmentation

Done testing for now, too much time was invested in testing every item that dropped :P

nakieon is right, the main ones that bug with me are wisdoms, portals and chances
which sucks because i already have a tendency of not picking them up and now i have an excuse :~~
It appears to effect anything that gets allocated to a person by the game.

Hi there!

In this instance, it is possible that another 'Key Pickup' setting has been applied to your options. To revert this issue, please remove the Key Pickup feature, then close / save preferences.

Then, re-enable key pickup as set to alt. Please let me know how you go!


it didnt help :(

Getting this bug constantly and it is very annoying.
This issue has been intermittently around for as far back as closed beta - now it's back again it's more noticeable to more players due to the use of filters, meaning there is a greater chance that your mouse will now be over an item's name, due to the lower amount of items displayed on screen and the font increase used in some of the filters.

I just started playing the game and can't pick up anything starting with the club on the beach. My mouse does everything else just fine. Today is May 1, 2018 and I am seeing posts back to 2013 and 2015 where people are having the same problem. I have been gaming for 50 years now and I have never had this problem on any other game. Other wise this game looks like it will be fun to play once I get this problem solved.

Sounds to me like you had your inventory open while trying to pick up stuff.

In this scenario the game assumes you want full control and you are to choose where exactly to drop the item in your inventory. If you double click an item, it will be dropped on 2nd click since you didnt click a slot in your inventory.

If you close your inventory and try again, the game will pick up anything and stash wherever is room in your inventory automatically.


Cheers
