"Take Item" Drops - How Do You Turn This Off??

bossheisenberg

Dear God somebody please tell me how to turn off the yellow "take item" windows that pop up and take up half the screen....this stuff is absolutely worthless vendor junk and has been since the R&D revamp. Endgame players have no use for any of it. I'm so tired of this jamming up the screen and I haven't found a way to turn it off. I've tried changing my loot settings or UI but haven't found a way.

If youre talking about the take item button when you are near look you cant turn that off, you CAN turn on autoloot which will prevent a subsequent window from popping up when you hit the take item button.

you should be able to move the window into a corner in the "rearrange UI" option.
Personally I do pick up everything (auto loot enabled), and discard it a few minutes later...it's not nothing, and the commodities and buffs I keep.
BUT, I also wish Cryptic would get rid of random drops altogether...it is immersion breaking, and, as you said yourself, almost worthless anyway.

I have no use for 130k ec worth of stuff per argala run? Thanks for informing me of that.

If you think 130,000 ec is a lot and recycling vendor drops is your way of earning ec you're probably not an endgame player.
Even a few clicks in the admiralty system will net you more than that.

I guess what I meant specifically was the window that comes up from other players clicking take item, which asks "need, greed, or pass". That is the one I can't stop from covering half the screen as they accumulate. I wish I could opt out of the whole loot thing altogether. The occasional tech upgrade chance is not even worth it IMO.

You want an "I don't like money" option? Fascinating.

You realize vendor trash is, at worst, a decent supplemental source of money in pretty much every MMO right?

It would be great if players like you could opt out of group loot -- more for the rest of us, win-win

No its not a lot, and yes I am an endgame player, but I still have a use for 130k ec

There are keyboard inputs for each selection. I don't recall exactly what they are (something along the lines of alt+1 or something). Get the keyboard input for the selection you want (need, greed, pass) and set a keybind so it will be a single click on the keyboard.

There should be an option to automatically Need everything. And it should be on by default.

I'm happy to give you all the space garbage you can haul. Who says the Enterprise shouldn't be hauling garbage instead of being hauled away AS garbage?

I agree with the OP

here one of another annoying while clearing a stack of items we looted from 1 mission, when i drag item to replicator, and only to be sold 1 at a time instead a full stack once.
selling need major adjustments.

8 ec? no one wants to pick those up, they rather want higher value loots so they can buy upgrades from Exchange/broker, for those newly made captains in 10-30 levels, newer players for first time, they cant afford, by the time when they have enough, but it already "Outgrown" and need next tier series as they rank up.

I pick up all the loot that drops for me as well. I vendor what won't sell well and sell what I don't want. Bank and/or use consumables as needed. Sell stacks when I get full ones. Every little bit helps.

those 100k+ vendoring eventually add up.

angrybobh

I have never used anything that dropped as loot. I began ignoring the drops and passing on all group loot. The amount of EC I make does not seem to be affected by this. I would turn off loot entirely if I could.

It's ridiculous and unnecessary that we must be interrupted in battle to pick up loot.

bobbydazlers

anyone who passes up on drops must be EC billionaires, sure we all know most of the drops are vender trash but you only need to bring up your replicator and use the recycle option to quickly dispose of them at the end of the mission.
ok so the recycled items might only give you a few thousand EC but when you think of the amount of missions you run that few thousand EC very quickly mounts up to a few million EC.
having said that I have found some of the drops I have picked up to be very useful mk12 purple consoles or weapons and though I might not want to use them on my best ships they are very good for filling empty slots or replacing lesser gear on my older ships but then you would not know that unless you actually take the drop would you.
the only thing is you need to remember to set your loot threshold to epic to get the best possible drops.
if nothing else at the end of the day its the best way to get rid of those annoying popups, a quick tap on the "F" key and they are history.
