Feedback On New Item Stack Count Visibility

I know I can't be the only one having trouble seeing the new stack count. I just wanted to make a post to let you know these new numbers are hard to see. Maybe you could darken the icons so the white numbers show up better?

The old way was yalms better, just change it back...

Or better yet give an option to.

It's really tough to read. On a related note, it sucks that you can't tell how many of an item you have when you try to sell to an npc.

Really unhappy with the movement of the stack quantity to the icon. While I understand the reasoning behind it as a short term fix (text length in English), it would be incredibly helpful to make adjustments to the item names in the future and move the numbers back.

With the current changes, it's quite jarring to scroll through your inventory. The icon visibility was important for quick item management. Having the entire icon covered in text makes it harder to do this, and defeats the purpose of the icon altogether.

Please consider expanding the affected widows slightly, then moving the number back,
or
Altering the names of items where overlap would be an issue, then moving the number back.

wholehaertadly agree with this, i have a difficult time finding stuff in my inventory because the numbers are clustering the icon to death.

Yes, I too find that the new stack number over the icon makes it difficult to read. If they must move the number there, I would prefer them just taking out the item icon in favor of the stack number.

Just to clarify my post:

I don't have any trouble reading the number, but not being able to see the icon is making it difficult to quickly scan for certain items in my inventory.

Thank you to all that read or read and replied. I haven't had a problem seeing what the items are. I don't really look at the icons I read the item name other than crystals. I can see those at a glance. I just can't see how many are in a stack and I have a big screen. I don't know why they didnt put it the bottom right of the icon picture and make it like a tiny black stamp with the white number that would show up better. Nah, nix that I look the icon box is too small . :*( Just do something. We live in a day and time you can't even read a prescription bottle.

Just to throw this in here for the heck of it I am loving the <pos> next to the clock.
Went to Crawler's last night with two friends and 3 Trusts and loved it! Broke my trial gread sword! W00t! I like the new weapon skill!

This new thing is seriously awful. Worst UI change ever. Why did they ever put it in? It used to be that I could just lean back and play, and the numbers on the right hand side told me what kind of inventory I have. Now if my face is more than a foot away from the monitor, I can barely see.

Change it back :(

I agree with this thread. The change was unnecessary and for the worse.

I'd also like to say that the (1) on equipped items in Wardrobe is:
A) Unintuitive. Why is it a 1?
B) Annoying. It clogs the icon just like this item number change.

There were posts that explained why it was necessary - some newly stackable items had names that were too long in the non-JP clients so there was no place to put the numbers to the right.

Please note I am not saying this change was IDEAL, clearly enough people are having legitimate problems with it, but I do get why they did it.

lol, it's a 1 because inventory is space 0 and wardrobe is space 1.

(I'd have coded it to be a "W" but whatever...)

Wardrobe is actually inventory space 8.

oooooo EVEN BETTER! But I was thinking more of how they made the macro lines to be 0 and 1.

This is why it's a 1. Personally I like that it has a way for us to know if it's from normal inventory or Wardrobe.

Me too. Have to lean forward to the screen to see the number. It really sucks. There is another post about this. Hopefully they will do something about it. It's the contrast of the background with the white number. The background needs to be darker.

change the display back please it is almost impossible to read the numbers without getting close to the monitor

Seems no one cares. People read the post but don't bother to comment to get some attention to this post. Surely you people aren't happy with this new change! /sigh
