I would like to suggest a small quality of life improvement for your character’s stash. As it stands right now, all items you can’t equip have a simple red ‘X’. The problem with this is that it doesn’t inform you why you can’t equip the item.
I propose two symbols. The standard red ‘X’ for items you can’t equip because of level restriction and a red ‘/’ to indicate that you meet the level requirement, but not the attribute requirements.
But it already shows the reqs you don’t meet by making their numbers red.
That is correct, but you need to mouse over every item to see if you can’t use it because of level or because of attribute. I’d like to be able to glance and see if there is something i can equip if I place a couple of attribute points.
Every few levels I go back to my stash and have to mouse over each item to see if I meet it’s level req.
We need a bigger flashing red X. It is not easily distinguished sometimes.
Or remove level requirements from gear.
Removing level requirements would probably destroy the item balancing.
Who would equip that level 20 item if a few more points in an attribute would enable that character to equip the level 30 item?
And if putting on that other item with the huge stat boost would enable that player to equip that level 40 item instead, who wouldn’t do that?
And I don’t think that making the red X even more prominent would do much good. After all it can already be hard to see what item you are looking at because of this red X indicator.
Regarding the topic of this thread:
I like the idea, it would be a simple but useful addition to the current mechanic.
