There is a God.
THANK YOU KAIZERIN!
Now that's QoL right there. Not just the sorting option, but now we get way less of them inventory full messages in general. Good work.
Idea: if you really want players to respec out of a broken build, you could make the invalid-build prompt include an option to teleport directly to powerhouse - if there's issues of super-broken builds that could be exploited for example (i.e. build with -1 advantage points to spend) this would allow these builds to be stripped of exploitative powers while not stranding them in a distant zone with no travel or combat abilities.
Awesome!
With emblems!!!
Awesome!!
All the good stuff!
Awesome!
Now, can we get the rest of the Shields scaled the same way? Like pls.
MORE TIG....SHIELDS!!!

Secondary effects like this certainly help THIS IS MAJOR QUALITY OF LIFE
so...anyone happen to know what the old values were and can tell exactly HOW much they increased by?
also, in regards to the character sort option...YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I'm glad that the feedback regarding the Character Select menu were taken and that we now have the option to choose between Most Recently Played and In Order of Creation. It's nice to know you guys are listening.
Especially since these inventory changes are MUCH needed after having to deal with the increasingly growing mods that just seem to accumulate over time in said inventory, and well as some of those missions that just fill up your inventory with mission items. Looking at you, Snake Gulch and Fallen Sun Forest.
I like that some attention are being put into the Threat Reduction mods, I recently wanted to try them out for once given that I've been attracting too much mob attention as a Power Armor DPS. (Yes, I know, weird but it's fun!) Now I have another reason to try them out to see how well they work!
Very nice update overall! Thank you and keep up the great work!
If you have multiple inventory bags open, and click the "Sort" button on the main bag, it'll sort one of the side bags.
Thank you! ^.^
We need that Duane dance as an emote in CO.
This is CO. Anything that you think would be easier is actually harder than quantum rocket biology
This is a big journey, so far if you're reading this, wish you a good day

Block timing explained
This new bag has me drinking tequila out of the bottle as I type this to be able to stay coherant. I like the rest of the bag changes. They weren't needed but it's a nice detail, if it could be made SMALLER. I just want it to be made SMALLER. SMALLER.
Also I really appreciate the ability to leave my characters in their create order. That made me wig out so bad every time I Logged in. Smacking that "OFF" button was the second thing I did after I signed in.
Now, please, just make the bag shrinkable.

Forgot to mention... absolutely love the patch notes. Some very good changes going into effect. Now if I could just get my sound working...
We truly appreciate this move in the right direction!
Thanks,

I was thinking the rock star for loud music and pyrotechnics.
Also, thank you, devs, for letting us have the option of sorting our characters by age!
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
apparently it's possible to kill rando mobs and get new ones if you do that
I can only hope they will add them with an event where we fight Kaiju, Eva Units and Super Sentai giga mecha robots in MC
CHICKS DIG GIANT ROBOTS !
Yes, 2 weeks ago.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Hm, what a dumb thing to say.
I agree.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Unless they did this as a response to said feedback.
Either way, problem solved. The rest of the update looks quite good to me as well. I'm quite happy with it.
They did do this as a response to feedback. The thing is, they did it as a response to feedback almost immediately when it was still on PTS. Everything since then didn't have any impact, it just made people look silly.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Feedback doesn't just have to be done on PTS and it being immediate doesn't necessarily invalidate any feedback on that came later and was further discussed on in the forums. To say "everything since then" is "silly" and had no impact is just arbitary and undermines people who have given sincere feedback on the forums. Both early feedback on PTS and the follow up on the forums could have both been collectively considered for the UI sorting option to be implemented.
I know the actual narrative being suggested here is that people who made their negative feedback known on the forums are all just a bunch of whiny complainers. I'm just saying that's flat out false.
They said they would try to add an option almost immediately. That's just a fact.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
There is a huge difference between releasing something that would cause a giant trash fire, despite the initial testing in the PTS and the following update, and holding it off until they added it as an option, which was done with most of the other QoL update. You griefing on everyone that dislike the update didn't really help.
It helped as much as the people complaining*. We know now that this option was always coming, no matter what you, I or anyone else said.
* - I'm letting you get away with characterizing it as griefing because it no longer matters.
