It's not too big, 7.2GB about and my slow ass internet is downloading it pretty quick.

-Please do something about not being able to use /tell while in dungeons.
-Working as Intended
-As we would like the players that are matched in instanced dungeons to be able to communicate casually, we've purposefully disabled outside tells. After launch we will monitor the community and look into whether we unlock this feature.

What the fuck?

[bluefan]

It is kinda stupid, but it really doesn't bother me so much. 90%+ of the time I'm talking with the party or LS/FC anyways.

[miokomioko]

Holy shit they really put it up like 10 minutes after I left for work... I am livid.

[Sigmakan]

-I would like to be able to sort my inventory.
-Continuing to Discuss
-We plan on addressing this in an update after launch.

Wow, there wont be inventory sort at launch? Yikes. This is 1.0 all over again lol

Bit of an exaggeration there. The bag already sorts things for you. Crafting materials go to the end, armor and weapons go in first bag, consumables in second. It seems materia is thrown wherever though. If keeping potions together is really a make or break for you...

Plus in general, with a bag system, auto-sort is not needed as much as it was with a list.

Agreed its a bit of exaggeration, but inventory sort should be a staple of ANY MMO.

As Yoshi-P said in the Live Letter, he doesn't want players to harass people in dungeons.

There's a lot I can say about that but I'll just end it there.

Disagree, I think its needed more, since you now have to mouse over to see what you have. At least in a list you can see the names as you scroll through.

And that means much? Point is, you can sort stuff easier with drag and drop and inventory management is a lot less hassle.

Here's the thing: If the devs get enough complaints about a lack of auto-sort, they'll try to put it in. If the people bitching about it are in the minority, they'll just have to suck it up.

Yes, I'm used to seeing all my shit in one bag with lots of rules for auto-sorting in WOW. It's really not THAT big a deal.

It means a lot when you are trying to find an item.

My big issue is that when you use up items either via consumption/crafting/dropping/whatever it leaves a hole in your grid and then thats filled with whatever drops into your inventory next. Now you have materials all over the place in your inventory, and you have to individually mouse over each item to figure out whats what. Yes you can identify a piece of lumber from a hide, but can you quickly discern pine lumber from ash lumber? Now I realize this is deviating from the initial complaint of no inventory sort, but the lack of sort further exacerbates this problem. AT least with inventory sort all your lumbers would be next to each other, sorted from lowest to highest item rank.

I honestly feel like an inventory sort is not that much to ask for.

<--- Beta forums are that way.

Thought this was the topic to talk about phase 4 patch notes and feedback. My mistake.
