    Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they didn't add the +/- for primary/secondary stats if they just had both Info screens showing at once.

    Edit: I play on PS3, so I guess idk if they show both screens at once on PC or not. But the only way I can 'compare' gear the way you show on the top screen is if I highlight my worn piece of gear, remember all its stats, and switch to my other piece of gear. I can only see one stat screen at a time.

    Even on PC you cannot see the 2 window at the same time But it would solve the problem if you had all the green or red stats change when hovering on a piece of equipement in the armory

    The game is designed specifically for 1280x720 resolution, so it appears exactly the same on PC as on PS3. The resolution was the exact reason why the devs refuse to give a side-by-side comparison even if we are running 2550x1440.

    They have promised a more useful item comparison since July last year, but nothing solid had came out, except a god-knows-why-incomprehensible "item sort will make gear comparisons easier" response a while back.

    My secret wish is that they've implemented something for this towards the PS4 UI and we'll get the improvement along with the update soon.
