Item sorting and naming | Forums

[rainshine71]

So after playing through the new 1.8 content and collecting lots of new loot I wanted to sort my items and throw out the trash. I noticed that it has become almost impossible to compare stash items, because items are now sorted by gear score.

Why would anyone use that kind of sorting? When building a set, I usually don't throw together six items with a certain gear score, I try to match them by name. When trying to sort out the trash, only viable option at the moment is to push it to inventory and equip/compare there... Please, sort all items by name (or make it selectable).

Also, when browsing the stash, the left/right keys (gamepad, PS4) are not used. Why not make it so left and right jumps between the sections of the list? Would make it much easier to get to the modules at the end.

Lastly, I noticed two Operator and a Tactical backpack (among others). The Operator and Tactical backpacks had the same talent, the other Operator backpack some other talent. Also the attributes seemed totally unrelated to the backpack type. What is the actual difference between Operator and Tactical, if any? Can't we just have the gear talent in the name instead of some useless title? I would love to see my two "Inventive backpacks" next to each other in my alphabetically sorted item list...

And, now that I started the naming thing, how about giving performance modules a name that reflects what they do?


TL;DR:
Pleasepleaseplease, for the love of the deity of your choice:
* let me sort item lists by name, not gear score
* let me jump between stash sections
* rename gear to include respective talent

Any chance?

Defo. The interface is not my cup of tea. I can see why it is the way it is but its laborious to say the least. Id like to see the sort available on the stash too.
Id also like to be able to compare any two items rather than whats equipped.
So too I would like to see the sort option saved to the last one used for both stash or inventory.

And filter to just filter on various criteria; GS, type, quality etc

In addition Id like a pop-up screen that shows all *NEW* items obtained so that I can quickly and easily dispose of them or sell them. And keep the few I really need.
That would mean having a select all or mark all as junk button. with the option to untick any of them I want to keep.

And something similar when opening caches from the Extracted tab of the inventory. One big list of items received from opening a dozen or more caches - esp. in survival or LS.

I am REALLY missing having my items sorted by name, I can not find any way to change the sorting by gearscore and it makes the loot management even worse then it was before!

This is still not fixed on PC I can see...all gear are just a chaos sorted by gearscore...bad idea for organizing armor pieces...
