Okay so I can deal with the lag, I understand that when I cast a healing spell and four others are using dailies there might be a framerate issue. Okay. I am patient with the xbox1 connection issues, oh so very patient with the cannot connect to server notices. It's a tad perturbing that my 'nextgen' console can't keep up but meh, the game is simply too amazing to let that upset me too much. It has actually made me more situationally aware, anticipating where you need to be so you can help your group while rubberbanding around a dungeon can be kind of fun and rewarding if you look at it a certain way. It's given me a couple of chuckles, so yeah.

I had to post something about the junk/loot window though. If there is a simple fix somebody please let me know. I've read in the forum how you should tell the group leader to adjust the settings of the need/greed option, sometimes this isn't viable as they often will not have a mic or are simply incorrigible. I just don't get it, haven't the developers played on a public dungeon? When you are in the middle of an epic, spine-tingling battle and there's all this awesome stuff happening like baddies getting sucked into black holes etc and etc and I'm trying to watch the health bars of my team so I can be relevant and then my screen (practically my whole effing screen!!!) is BLOCKED by a HUGE window that asks me if WANT A POS UNIDENTIFIED ITEM!! I can't take it!!! I Can't see, it is so frustrating I've felt like crying, screaming etc I feel like I've been trolled by a game...

There is no counter for this that I am aware of. I've simply gotten good at pressing selectY real fast but I feel like I shouldn't have to do this. I feel like there should be an individual choice as to whether I even want to see this black window showing me USELESS JUNK. After level 50 what are you even doing looting anyway? And why are you doing it DURING THE BATTLE? Where do you find the extra miliaseconds to do this cuz I can't. FFS

I pray to Silvanis that one day I will be able to adjust the opacity of this black window of death, just like I can adjust the opacity of the chat window. It seems kind of simple: let us adjust the opacity of the need/greed window. I think this would help a lot, as it is it causes too much grief. It is simply aids, that is all.
If these are the last days, then we are the first to be the last.

    I'm with you. There are so many times that I am trying to control a copious amount of adds during a boss encounter and the loot window is constantly popping up. Pass. Pops up again. Pass...again. Maybe give that a break and start burning down some of the adds I've been kiting/freezing/dazing for the last minute or so ;)

    Or maybe just let us choose to not be notified of loot below a certain rarity.

    It doesn't fill my whole screen, but is still annoying. I never can understand why at level 60, people are still picking up green items. Blues maybe, purples okay, but why green? I've gotten really good at pressing Y while still fighting, but there's some moments where I stop to see what item I might be passing up on, especially purple. Maybe make it so no one can pick up an item until everything is dead.

    It would still be annoying, but at least you're not in the middle of fighting something.
