Inventory Bags coming for 2.0.

[Picoman]

I think it was Herman Cain who referenced Pokemon...

Commenting on a subjective opinion in a signature shows that, at the very least, you care for some reason or another. It wasn't even in his post. Tell me; is it Perry, Cain, or Zubats that has moved you to a call to arms?

How does that make you feel?

EDIT: Unfortunately he just made it political in a following post which is bound to derail this topic, almost completely nullifying the point of this post. Regardless opinions are opinions and personal preference is personal preference. I too suggest the conversation go back to item UI, as American politics is not the thread topic.

/facepalm

Oh hey Rhomagus, what happened to the podcast man? Listening to those mega episodes helped me get my Carpenter up to 50 back in the day.

Sorry if i made you mad. Been watching a few BBC documentaries/political news shows about those negative ad campaigns you guys have in america. Would be hilarious if we had them here!

By different you mean: just like WoW?

I'm fine with implementing familiar UI elements, as long as we have the option to toggle between the two. I don't see the bag system being very controller friendly but I can see advantages to it form a keyboard and mouse perspective. As per WoW, it would not be in SE's best interest to completely copy the UI from WoW as WoW was not built for gamepads from the ground up. XIV needs to be able to cater to both styles of play. Making different options (and hopefully fully supporting the mod community as well) is the most conducive route as methods have been created from the playerbase, even in WoW, to accommodate itself.

To be honest though I do believe he is referencing "different from XIV as it is currently" not different from WoW. Even in that vain he would be correct.

I'm really looking forward to the new bag system. I think it's going to allow us some really nice options for organizing and managing our inventory.

Hmm, well someone sneakily used a quote from Pokemon in parliament (or w/e it is in america), haha. How come you have his face in your sig?


Anywho, with 5x5 bags, the mannequin system and drag and drop actions & abilities, 2.0 is definitely going to feel different thats for sure!

Because it is my intent to mock him, like I would a pokemon trainer using all zubats or zubats to advise his "campaign" in his case.

I would like to touch on my Yoshi comment a little more. I do not by any means believe all of his ideas are bad, and I think a year ago he brought a much needed breath of fresh air to the game. He also brought a face and a voice to the community, these were all things we needed. I feel XIV in the original form, while quite dry and empty in most respects, brought very original ideas to the genre, ideas that we never got to see fleshed out fully and probably never will. I want to see more of YoshiP's original ideas.

if they go this route I hope the gear you wear is not displayed in inventory but only in gear tab

I was only trying to make the sig understood, I am sorry if it was political.

Multiple things happened with the podcast, a bit too much to go into here. I'm glad you liked them as that is precisely why we, and I use the term "we" loosely, wanted them to be so long. Time constraints, scheduling conflicts, and the holiday season had a lot to do with it but I'm thinking about doing a podcast/website/blog/vlog here soon.

You didn't really make me mad but I saw the reference to the sig as off topic considering the sig itself is off topic, but as you can see in my edited post, the response only exacerbates the problem. This entire post is also off topic.

I'm feeling like General Hein right about now after firing the Zeus Cannon. So not angry so much...

I was looking for the specific clip on youtube but all I could find was the "Where is the proof?" quote, which would just make me look more angry. Regret would be more like it lol.

I can't see a problem with this system. I can just name my bags after the craft they belong to and then in worst case I'll have to hover over no more than 25 icons. Almost always less since the icons will give some indication to narrow it down further. EG. a lumber icon is different enough from a log icon. Drag and drop will make it infinitely more manageable.

I agree to an extent. It's worrisome to see the customization of the armoury system and gear choice go the way of the dodo*

*puns on multiple levels completely intentional.

I would like to see icons in bags but I am not against having a text option (Bag display: show icon/show text). If it's one or the other, bring on the icons. I think a visual representation is more instep with contemporary MMOs where text is not.
