My fps used to run around 35 before this patch now it runs at about 3, and often when i get into combat I crash. Multiple people are having this problem but no TSR, CSR, or Dev wants to respond to this issue in Tech Support. I think they are scared.

MAJOR COMPLAINT STARTS HERE


Now that I have your attention I need you to read this and realise how many peole will also find this the mostannoying change to the game yet! What am i talking about? the Inventory sorting UI fix (or break i should say)


Ok let me tell you how I use my inventory for loading up my vendors


I sell buffsets in back packs for the Docs on Ahazi, and have managed to finally get a great system for naming and fill packs, 8 at a time. I have my immediate inventory empty, and in my Equiped Back pack have crated travelpacks, and crated buffpacks.

I get 8travel packs from crate, they of course go into main inventory, and are all in a row, very nice just as i like them.




However recent changes are such that if I opened and closed my inventory quickly, they would re arragned themselves to be sandwiched between clothes and other equipped items! so i try order by icon, thinking the travel packs would line up again, but guess what they dont, they are in a broken line with other items (still my only equipped clothing items) breaking the line of packs!


How can you not order 8 identical items in a row with icon? even when the only other things available are equipped clothes? (why dont equipped items automatically stay at top of inventory anyway??)


Back to the travel pack buff set loading, assuming i dont close my inventory for a split second, and still have my 8 travel packs in a row, i then get 8 of each buff stat from crate, so that they are all in a row too in the main inventory, now heres the bit thats great for player use. Stretch the inventory window to 8 items wide so that the travel packs are all in a single row. Due to the fact u got the buf packs out in a similar fashion u have them in rows of 8 too, now its very easy to drag the buffs into the packs and make up 8 sets of 6 stats of buffs in travel packs.


However , if u close inventory for a split second, everything changes, they AUTOMATICALLY go into some sort of Alphabetical order, NO ONE ORDERS INVENTORYS ALPHABETICALLY! THATS FOR ADDRESS BOOKS AND FRIENDS LISTS!!


my travel packs get jumbled into the middle, dragging around becomes a right pain, all this and i only have 7 different things in my inventory


I liked the fact i could put things in a pack and have them order in the order that they were placed into that pack! That way you can ACTUALLY SORT INTO ANY ORDER THAT YOU WANT, which is what will agree with most players, since it allows you to make your order of items to your specifics.



Now for general inventory complaints


The Order by Volume is pointless! it only effects crated items, and pouches(that bit about pouches is a guess actually)

Order by Icon does NOT actually do this, so again is pointless

Order by alphabetical: This part itself deserves a thread.

Ill use a Docs inventory as a sample

Buff sets come with standard names of Enhance Heath MedPack D

but many people change to say 'Health D Buff by Doc Dolittle' so they can give their kits identity, so now if i have a set of buff kits and i want them in a row i cant use the alphabetical order! If i did my constitution and health would be sepearated by my Dizzy pack, Strength and Stamina would be seperated by StimPacks, it just goes on and on!


Oh so why dont i put buffs in a pouch, stims in a pouch and wound packs in a pouch, and state packs in a pouch! bang goes 10% of my inventory capacity to allow me to sort it? in what is probably the most 'inventory heavy' professions anyway! Come on!



Looting items appeared as the last item in inventory, EASY TO FIND AND SPOT

now they join the rest of theSelf-Anally-retentive items in my inventory and list into alphabetical order without my say so!


Every time i open and close my inventory now, it is different from the last time i opened it, even if i have ordered it by one of the listings available. it either goes back to alphabetical, inverts the current order, or just goes into some random order iI cnat explain


Im not sure if this is some sort of Aprils Fools Patch feature released early or just some really bad thinking on impreoved UI


I hope other people see this and sign up or suggest other ideas, but for now, I wish u would roll back this change as its just doubled my time for vendor loading buffsets, and im sure Armour smiths will find similar for suit loading!

i was wondering what happend to my inventory and datapad. i can't find anything anymore.now i realize itwas a "fix", well im sure you already know from all the other posts, but i'll tell you again, this is annoying, everything is unorganized with no logic. alphebetical? w-t-f is that. all my items and waypoints are all over the place. "unfix" it, and put it back to the way it was.
