Inventory filter please~

In most of modern offline game, your inventory menu isn't all look like long loot list of 100 items like this. I think the time process when I have to scroll up and down to find item is quite time consuming. The page by page jump doesn't help much either for those who aren't similar with how its sort.

I think instead of just "up and down scrolling" they could use "left and right" for item filter too. I think the filter that will suit into this game would be

"All"<->"Weapon and tools"<->"Gear and wear"<->"food and potions"<->"materials and repairs"<->"newly obtained item"

This will make it much easier to repair, to look for item to trade, to manage inventory, and to dumb newly found junks.

if any mod see this, please forward this into dev team, I thank you very much.

this would be logical

but this is SE. it took them over a month to get auto-sort. so asking them to do all that would prob take a year.

... every online games I played is like that ( no inventory filter ).

@Greed, but we usually don't use a list view that shows ten items at a time, including our gear and underwear.

Alise, I agree that the game pad method for navigating could be a little less cumbersome. Have we gotten used to this style? We have. But we feel there's room for improvement someday.

That seems really nice and organized, until you quickly have to clear out inventory room before your loot pool decides to regurgitate its entire contents. In that case, the single list is easier to quickly scroll through and assess what is important and what is not.
There's no real easy way to flip through the tabs currently either. Why doesn't left and right arrow (keyboard) or left and right dpad work for this?

pleaseeeeeeee!!! having a 100 items list also slows the scroll

just get rid of all those 1000s of crappy items no one wants and sell for 15gil at the npc. seriously i got all these veggies and I dont remember farming. I remember killing stuff. if people want veggies they should farm I am sick of a full list because of useless crap

Definitely something simple, yet fantastic to have.

Tab and shift tab moves you through tabs in menu's

i like the idea ... Most of RPJ's have tabs ... but not MMO...
so FFXIV would be the first :D

Inventory really needs increasing. I did 8 DoL leves yesterday with a full inventory because I didn't want to spend anima to go back to town. But as I have an alt I just sent the items gathered to him via the loot list after each leve.

I'd like the option for similar objects that drop, like puk wings, if I delete one, I have <delete> <cancel> <Delete all>
Trying to keep my inventory clear during Darkhold or toto-rak is rather difficult with all that drop.

the last filter I mentioned "new items" is for easily throw junk. you can just look at this category and delete all items.

on top of item organization, please have the loot bag auto-stack items too. Especially helps when doing DoL and you have 6 slot positions filled with the same item, just stack it up so more stays in the loot bag until you're ready to remove them from it.

I agree. We need a cleaner inventory.

Auto-sort would actually take some time, but to make items filter to different categories would be easy, just a simple tag in the items code to say what type of item it is (which im sure it already has) and adding a few tabs in the inventory menu.

I dunno though, I don't think I like the idea, I just want to be able to press left and right in the menu to jump scroll.

and add "sell all"

Can you imagine the GM calls "i jst sold all my stuf can i haz it bak now." XD

Dragon Age 2 has the most magical inventory. Its split into Weapons/Armour/Accessories/PotionsAndStuff/Boring Loot/Junk.

Anything completely useless automatically gets filtered into junk. Any random drops you may be interesting in keeping go to Boring Loot. With the press of a button on any item while going through your inventory, it can be thrown into your junk pile. Go to an NPC, select 'Sell all Junk', bam. 5 second process. Clearing out half my inventory in XIV takes ~5min with the ridiculous UI server delay. I can hit Sell on an item 7 times before it goes through.

One of the best idea to have so far. but no this won't be the first. PSO/PSU/always have it.

There is nothing wrong to add a tab filter right? so it is plus for all, why not do it?

I play with a gamepad, which you have to map a certain action to a button and hold that down while pressing a different button...and I'm not even sure since I don't bother with it. I usually reach for the mouse or keyboard in a menu and that makes it uncomfortable to play. I just wish rather than that trouble, while in a menu you could just use <- and -> on whichever control you choose for menu selection to flip between tabbed options. It would be much easier than extra buttons for either keyboard or gamepad when currently left and right arrows do nothing and are available.
/shrug Just my thoughts though.

I'd be up for the option of tabs if it starts on the tab with all items, then each tab afterwards are filtering tabs. Sometimes I don't mind just scrolling through all items.

I wonder if any mod has seen this yet? if possible I would like you to help to transfer this idea to dev team please. it is only plus and no anything draw back at all. and should not be hard to make.

umm we are working on it.. :(
