Inventory Presence

[Tip]

I'm using the downloaded pc client. Usually the small x in upper right corner will close the inventory screen. Since the last patch, when I open the inventory pouch and use the x to close the inventory the body/equipped items part closes, but the carried items grid does not unless I click on the inv icon again.

Was this intended or no? If yes, can I change it?
It does not appear to happen with map or gem pouch or skills window - only inventory. Although, I the inventory does open when clan vault is toggled. O,o

Thanks

Also, after inspecting someone and clicking the open/close equipment&inventory button (backpack), it closes your inventory while still inspecting the other person until you click it again, after which your inventory and gear show up like normal. Minor inconvenience, but this never took a double click before to get back to your own gear.

We'll fix both in the next patch. They are a accidental product of our change to having the eqp and inv windows float independently--a more complicated task than expected since they are both included on the same integral background graphic with shared functionality to start.

[Tip]

Like Imi said: no big issue. Just an incongruity... if that's the most negative thing from the complicated task of the new enhancement, I count it as win. xD \o/

Thanks

it also complicates uptiering stuff from storage. or could be completely different issue.

when trade window open u cant open inventory at all also :/ meaning u have to manually click storage instead of just poking inventory.

The specific changes we are making are:
-Pressing the X at the top right will close Equipment as well as Inventory when Inventory is a non-floating window
-Clicking the Inv/Eqp interface icon will close the spectating window
-Clicking the Inv/Eqp interface icon while crafting or trading will toggle the storage window

What else specifically would you like to see behave differently?
Is there a reason you don't want inventory to open when the rune vault is clicked or is it potentially helpful?

[Umbrastar]

I would find it helpful if I could look at the equipment interface when I click on the rune vault. It makes it easier to know which runes are in what slots if I am trying to change things up. The current method of either writing them all down or going back and forth between windows is mildly annoying.

For me personally, seeing the inventory only when clicking on the rune vault is less than useless.

[Tip]

Rune vault: having the inv open at same time may get in the way if for one instance you are chatting about the runes with others and seeking them during combat; planning rune changes during combat - not a major thing but probs nicer to go ahead and make it like it was.

Yes, the equip open with the rune vault open thing has been mentioned before and I still support it, but that's not part of this thread per se.


Patch, but not hotbar related: More of the text is centered now, I think, but sometimes still off the screen on the left - seems mostly chest finds now. Was that addressed last patch or am I jumping gun and it's attached to a future one?

[Glitchless]

We will remove the new behavior of defaulting to drawing inventory when rune vault is open.

In order to see your equipment when the rune vault is open, you'll need to float your equipment window. Note, you can just position your equipment window to be in its usual place of over the main window if you want. Making use of floating windows does not necessarily mean you have to expand your client's footprint.

The noncentered text was believed (hoped) to be fixed, but if you are still having issues with noncentered floating text in v3.168 then we did not manage to locate the problem. Please take a screenshot the next time you notice it.

[Tip]

rofl @ myself.... it's quite surprising what boxes we put ourselves in sometimes... thank you for stating the obvious I missed (or forgot) about the inventory location options >,< I may try the floating way of things again.




Noncentered Text:







I see it mostly on the exp gained line, but also after arena and after resourcing.




As shown in this s2 shot, I also noticed that some text appears off center of things like the exit button, but could be considered centered in relation to the edge of play screen.

Here is a screenshot of the non-centered text:


Also, here is a screenshot of a separate problem, text appearing behind other text:


Sorry if these are small and unreadable. The red circles in both bottom right corners are client version (v3.168). The black box over the gold message on the Non-Centered (first) screenshot just barely covers the end of the sentence. The message in the Text Behind Text (second) screenshot is the 'You are now in the queue and will receive a typical Group Acumen bonus.' message behind the resulting output of the 'Show Arena Stats' menu command.

Edit: Just after posting this, I started a new mob encounter and the 'You encounter a XXX.' was the message that appeared behind the 'Show Arena Stats' message. Soon after that, a clanmate's login message of 'XXX has come online.' was the next message that appeared behind the 'Show Arena Stats' message.

I have also had many instances of the text appearing behind other text in the left (clan chat/pm/etc) chat bar. Usually happens if I let my toon sit for a little while and then come back, and is fixed by scrolling on my mousewheel.

[Glitchless]

The text behind text will be fixed next version. Might have a fix for the noncentered text as well, but since it doesn't happen 100% of the time it's hard to be sure about.

[SingSword]

I just had non-centered text on an 'Epicbeast has slaughtered brave XXX in XXX!' message and then on an XP message.

[Umbrastar]

The off-centered text happens for my toon every single experience rush when killing mob, if that helps narrow down the problem.

EDIT: It seems that the text is offset for killing mobs regardless now. I am leveling secondary specialization from 99 to 100 right now. The text is offset for only that though. Experience rushes during foraging are centered and all other text is centered. Just the xp from killing mobs is offset.
