    Ok... this came out of nowhere, but I wouldn't mind seeing a decrease in the rubberbanding. Guessing normal patch day will still have something for us though.

    I'm not sure about the binding filters.

    I guess it won't hurt anyone if they're added, but I don't really see the point.

    People look for an item and they'll buy it if they want to use it, right? If they plan to sell it later, they won't equip it as almost all gear binds after equipping.

    The difference between binding to character and to account is something you can check for anyway while viewing the results... But again, why would anyone search for an item based on whether it binds or not? I'm just confused now.

    If this works best patch in 3 years. Getting fed up of opening up a UI page only to have the FPS go from 100fps+ down to 2fps. along with the rest of the lag problems.

    Maybe it's whether or not it already IS bound, which could be really helpful for things like pulling stuff out of bank/inventory to mail to other toons or put for sale on Exchange?

    Maybe. That would probably be more useful. Slightly.

    WOW! Just... WOW! I had hoped for a little more in this weeks patch notes. Maybe a forcefield around the two potentially COVID-19 infected NPC's coughing on everyone outside of the Shipyard on DS9 at a minimum! :P We don't want this to get bad enough to have to quarantine the whole quadrant! :D

    I have to agree with fred26291. I wouldn't put it quite as emphatically, but I really don't like the width of the inventory and would much rather be allowed to reduce it.

    10? Where is that from? I normally keep mine at 14 or 17. 7? I don't need a long elevator shaft.

    Bank is 25 or so.

    I am not a fan of the minimum width for inventory and such being 10. I usually keep mine at 7 as well, which makes the window less intrusive when open. With it at 10 as a minimum, it really makes the window intrusive in my opinion.
  • pottsey5gpottsey5g Member Posts: 4,164 Arc User
    The inventory change is horrible. The UI still kills the FPS when opened I go from 144fps down to 5fps just by opening the Powers UI. Clicking the Skill page still causes a 1 second lag pause. Endavours still lag out the game.

    It looks to me like they have lowered the max players in zones which has helped. With a cap of 15 per zone instead of 20 there is a lot less lag and rubberbadning from that. With the new cap I managed to run across the Voth battlezone with only 1 minor rubberband instead of the major none stop lag.

    The size of the inventory screen being locked in at 10 is a MASSIVE DISRUPTIVE SITUATION to me
    A full complaint will be transfered to customer service by the end of today, I WILL NOT TOLORATE THAT SIZE PERIOD THE ABILITY TO REDUCE IT TO 7 IS NOT OPTIONAL IT IS MANDATORY!

    I actually agree. I have my inventory width set at 8 (not too small, but better fits with the 12-slot expansion upgrades).
    I really want to set the minimum to at least 8.
    10 is too large, particularly for smaller resolution screens.

    EDIT:
    Also, now the Overflow window overlaps with the inventory window. Also the reason I had 8.

    I notice that the new width of the inventory window is just the right size for an additional tab...

  • jackson900pwejackson900pwe Member Posts: 189 Arc User
    Yeah the inventory window being stuck must be changed. I can't tolerate not being able to change it either much like fred26291. Y'all gotta change that back man. This is not a helpful change.
  • crm14916crm14916 Member Posts: 1,516 Arc User
    The inventory window can be made larger, but not smaller, based on the size of the search criteria...

    Which TOTALLY messes with my CDO (obsessive compulsive disorder, with the letters in alphabetical order)... I had everything arranged... Boxes, Consoles for loadout swaps, Pets, etc... All arranged in stacks. Same with my Crafting Mats... Arranged in stacks... All gone and messed up now...

    I really don't know who's bright idea it was to make the inventory minimum window be 10 columns wide, but it needs to be reverted. Looks like a bloated whale and out of place. Also not friendly to people with smaller resolution monitors. Like, seriously guys? Not everyone uses or has a 1080p or larger monitor. All that does is waste space.

    EDIT: Now with Image Proof

    If you all really value our feedback, then seriously consider reverting the minimum 10 wide window thing, among a bunch of other things, and actually respond negative feedback adequately addressing the concerns of those players instead of deflecting it and trying to divert blame.

    I'll have to echo the sentiments about the Inventory window - please let us have it narrower than 10-slots-wide!

    It gets even worse when you look at the Assets tab. There is so much space between each column... What was wrong with letting people make it the size they wanted it?!?
  • tmassxtmassx Member Posts: 826 Arc User
    If they also expand the inventory for loot items tab, I'll get used to it.

    A full complaint will be transfered to customer service by the end of today, I WILL NOT TOLORATE THAT SIZE PERIOD THE ABILITY TO REDUCE IT TO 7 IS NOT OPTIONAL IT IS MANDATORY! The window size is sooo disruptive to me i have been forced to QUIT PLAYING any content that will require me to touch that window. I will do the event and the admiralty but all other gameplay including endeavors must cease indefinately till that window is restored back to the size it belongs. If the size is left 10 and not fixed this may verry well be the straw that breaks the camels back 2 yrs worth of one thing after another has me on edge, 2 friends are responsible for the fact that i havent left yet but this has crossed the line yet again and I can swallow no more negativity from a game thats supposed to be fun.

    This is the single biggest over reaction maybe in the history of the forums. This level of freaking out over an inventory window that you keep closed 90% of the time is off the charts level crazy.

    Seriously, quit playing all games and get yourself some help. You're completely insane.
