Hi Larian,

I realize this is probably not something you "just" put in - but since there is a filter/tabs on the inventory screen why not also have it on the trade screen? Currently it's a bit annoying/hard to find the items that you want to sell. I usually stop by a shop to get some weight of my characters, so I'm mostly interested in selling extra weapons and armor... but those tend to drown in potions, herbs, bottles, arrows and other crap that I've picked up along the way <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Great idea. I would add in the repair and identify windows, it could be nice to put only the damaged and unidentified items respectively.

of course having done away with the filters back to the tab system, (which i'm not sure about, i was kind of getting used to the new way, and liking it better) that won't happen anytime soon. be nice though, then one doesn't have to search so long. click click clikc done.

That's a very good idea! Just add the filter buttons to the side of the player and merchant panes.

YES! YES! YES!

I get so confused when I'm selling items that a lot of times I'll put everything I want to keep in a nearby barrel/chest so that I don't accidentally get rid of something I want.

I took a small chest from the BF in act 1 to do that with and now it is almost full from things I just can't live without holding on to.


I noticed that not all items from both characters are in yellow either. The first time I went to sell stuff I sold my short sword because I thought I had two because it was not in yellow.

When you trade, it shows the items equiped by the current character and the inventory of all characters (unless they're unsummoned). It doesn't show the equiped items of the other characters. So if you want to repair the other characters equipment, you need to remove it first, or use that character to talk to the merchant.

I massively disagree. They should focus on fixing bugs, not on adding enhancements that could or could not work as expected.
Besides that it would make it very hard to get an expensive item from a merchant, that you want to pay for by selling several of your items. Especially when they are now splitted over several tabs.

I agree with Myrthos, but the screens should be either resizable or quite a lot bigger, when your inventory is quite full, then the scrolling is really tedious and anooying.... and I even haven't left ACT I yet !!!!
