A Realm Reborn Items Menu

i want to arrange items 1 by one, to place them w/e i want

Because for people using keyboard and mouse, menus with list and s**t you have to scroll through are terrible. There's a reason why most modern MMOs have icon based menus: it's because you can fit a lot more s**t in a single window and you make it faster to navigate.

I was going to fully ignore this thread, but I cannot let this pass.
I am terribly sorry, but being an advocate of the usage of keyboard and mouse, I still say explode that stuff (not to use more colorful words) to icons. I find those really, really hard and anti-intuitive to navigate plus auto-sorting is non-existant to a suitable level, I much prefer lists.

having a drag/drop item menu allows for easy customization and storage of items and quick mental processing due to color examination versus complete title examination.

If I posted several lengthy sentences in different colors you could identify what color the item was instantly [support color blind mode!] but not the text, which requires further examination.

These are great reasons why the "backpack" feature is standard in MMOs, not because it's old and tired.

The farther this new version gets away from FFXI-esque UI set up and controls the happier I am.

I am struggling with icons already that look quite similar (second wind and dark seal for example) so I absolutely support lists.

[Estellios]

That's cause they are the same icon minus the fist or wand underneath.

When the game shifts to an icon interface they will undoubtedly be better about making all icons look unique. There is mouseover popup help to tell you what everything is anyway.

I want to see Text, graphics and description all in one scroll down!! I alter from keyboard to controller and the PC version demands that I use the damn mouse too(oh,well, it pleases everyone at once).

There's nothing better that a cool icon(as to seeing a logo for a company that's well known). And for every icon(or logo) there's a cool description(or slogan). As with windows, the menus can be optimized to the users preference(like grid-locked or arrangeable).

Either or, what ever we get in 2.0 people are going to have preference, we're just lucky the producer (and the DEVs) are going out of their way to deliver. Hopefully all this crummy UI crap will blow over and we actually get a game (with content and expansions) going! GG SE,"feed the babies their bottle of milk so they can grow to be big and strong", even if they're newbies to FF.

2.0 Item menu seem werid. All those dots on screen. Do we really need 25 limit bags. 4 Bag total. Thats 100 slots for items.

Think what they should do is just add a Icon that brings you to a Menu with all 4 or even more bags to your menu. From there select the bag you want.

[Estellios]

Having multiple bags helps you organize (1 for mats, 1 for consumables, etc) and I believe they said that you could set up your bags so that the correct items go into the specific bag you want them to go to automatically. There's no need for an extra menu because it's an extra button press that is unnecessary when just opening your inventory brings up all your bags at once so you can see your entire inventory nice and quickly.

Hello guys!
I was wondering if i was the only one thinking how stupid the 2.0 item menu looks and how it looks exactly like most of other mmo's? Like Aion and WoW and Runes of Magic..... Why not continue with an item list like XI had? it was great so we could see all the items in just a menu, and also just order the items on the list... instead of maybe ordering the items and checking all the tabs to see where the ICON is or just keep selecting all items to check their names.... In my opinion, this new items menu is silly and it wont be any better of what we currently have but actually prob worst. I hate the new item menu looks and i think XIV is copying way too much from other mmo's instead of innovating stuff and putting diferent ways of menus and all that than all other mmo's. All i heard ppl from WoW saying about games that has something like WoW is "Oh look... another WoW copy, they are so good that they cant make their own stuff and actually have to copy". I was mostly looking for 2.0 to bring new good looking stuff instead of copy of other mmo's that i already played. "We want to make it easy for players that come from other mmo's to have the an easy time getting into the game", so with that they started copying their menu looks and some features because it will happen to make the other ppl's 'getting into the game experience' easyer? Seriously, in all this long, i though XIV was gonna look really good and with alot of new stuff, but aperently they just changed stuff to copy's of other mmo's.

I know its too late to change alot of the actualy menus, but the Items menu its what makes me rly sad about 2.0 that we know so far.

well a item list sucks much more than what we saw for 2.0.... seriously... this "scrolling 5 minutes down to reach the last item" sucks..
seriously, you cant be serious?!
And i can drag&drop my items now how awesome is that?! thats not copying MMorpg stuff.. thats standard control for the PC... offline rpgs have a similiar item menu as well.


its just sooo much better.. than a hundred metre long list... cant stand your opinion seriously. it was horrible back then and still will be.. especially when playing with mouse and keyboard.


thats an awful opinion. i think MOST of the players will be happy not to see such a crappy inventory with bad controls. (click it... click to confirm, that you want to equip your item...) seriously... NO!

I find those really, really hard and anti-intuitive to navigate plus auto-sorting is non-existant to a suitable level, I much prefer lists.

you find drag something and to drop it into your equipment menu is anti-intuitive?!! its better to click it-> chose slot-> click again to confirm it and wait 2-4 secs. better or what?! are you sick or somethin? O_o sorry..

and lists are a mess! you have 200 slots at the moment right now.. that means 200 hundreds of slots which you have to scroll DOWN!! and you dont find anything.
thats a mess, and not intuitive..!

did you just played FFXI, that you have an opinion like it? awful... awful..




fact is... the current Item Menu (endless lists) and interface delay is the most horrible thing, i've ever experienced in a game EVER. (people quit because of it) i just cant believe what i just read.
