Prefix and Suffix Order
How difficult would it be to have rare items mods in order:
Prefix Prefix Prefix Suffix Suffix Suffix instead of the current system until I hold alt. What even is the current system? Attributes seem to be at the top even though they are suffixes. (It's fine if the craft(s) stay at the bottom) Last bumped on Sep 16, 2023, 12:42:28 PM

This is a great suggestion that has been made time and time again, but as I understand it unfortunately this is something that isn't really possible. Mark, the senior gameplay programmer, has commented on this here.
Here's his response: " Just wanted to share this interesting dive into how this works! | |

In all seriousness, it cannot be that hard. You already sort descriptions, and you have information about suffix/prefix. That means you can get this information for basic preview, and use it for sorting. Even if you sort via string, just add 2 different labels. One internal for sorting one external for display... Take advanced display as internal for sort and you are done. Seriously, this cannot be that hard, that someone cannot take 2 hours to figure this out.

Typically when someone responds with THAT many words to a rather simple question...they are blowing mostly smoke. He says its more complex...but I just don't buy that. If they are looking at two totally different sets of data...change it so they look at both.
What he is describing, even via that analogy, makes no sense. You absolutely CAN order BOTH situations in the same way. If that means you change how the initial programming does it...then you do that. It's not "impossible" because they simply don't want to do it. And if its indeed because one of the images has a "different" ordering system...add a line to that different system. You can order something by two rules, its done all the time. And then to further the disconnect and waffle, he mentions Uniques. Uniques don't really have prefixes and suffixes to begin with, nor do they matter. Unique items are unique BECAUSE they have a specific order/set of mods. That has zero bearing on this question / problem. Last edited by jsuslak313 on Sep 16, 2023, 12:07:12 PM

It would be simple to make an option. I would want it to show Prefixes, Separator, Suffixes. And I dont care if mods are not accumulated - I dont want mods to be accumulated anyway.
No wonder it's lost, it's in the middle of the jungle!

Not to argue with the brain trust at GGG. I think the engine is limited in this regard, But they can just change it. They don't feel like it, too much time, resources, effort. Whatever. They still can't fix the performance issues from years ago let alone what they reintroduced last month.
Good luck guys. |
