It would be really nice if the item filter (showing an item colour on screen) would be used for filtering item pickup as well. (using the Pickup button from the controls menu)
BUMP ?! any chance this could reach the devs ?
I’m not entirely clear on what you’re asking…are you saying you don’t want to be able to pick up items you’ve filtered out the ability to see? If that IS what you want, there’s already an option for that. Look in the “general” tab of the options menu, and at the very top of the middle column you will find “lock item pickup”. Enabling this will prevent you from picking up items that do not meet your current item filter setting.
that box is checked. and i suppose it works for picking stuff up with the mouse click.
but what i want is to use the key binding for picking up items and that pick up to follow the loot filter. which it doesn’t right now.
Ah, I wasn’t actually aware there WAS an alternate button for picking things up. I see it in the keybindings now. Yeah, if that’s not working with the lock pickup option then that definitely sounds like something that should be fixed.
how do we get a dev’s attention on the matter now ? if that’s not too much to ask
I’ve moved this thread to the appropriate section, just have to be patient now. 
I’m not sure how bug reporting is a better section for a feature request. 
We saw it back when it was in feedback. The only action required to “get our attention” is to post. There is no guarantee that we will reply or that the request will make it into the game, but we will at the least read/consider it.
Well, to be fair, this is more of a bug report than a feature request. The description for the “lock item pickup” option says “Prevent pickup of loot that doesn’t meet your loot filtering level.” If you are still picking up loot that you have filtered out, then either the action or the option’s description is in error. That’s how it reads to me, at least.
bug or request …
thank you for all your replies, dev, moderator and community.
If I use a gamepad then Lock Item Pickup is not working because it still picks up white items when I use the “pickup” button, hence its a feature that is not working properly. It is therefore something that should be fixed.
Any further news on this? Now that mods like Grimmest Dawn are here (screens full of loot!) it’s even more desirable to be able to use the pickup key without getting a full inventory of white items.
This seems like something that just isn’t working as intended, and could be a huge quality of life upgrade (and save my mouse button!)
Thanks to any developers reading this!
I would love for this to happen; any word?
