Just discovered that they auto shrunk the hotbar for some characters, and I had to hit the plus sign to increase the maximum slots available. I spent forever reworking my hotbar for all 3 characters to reorganize everything so it made sense. Locked it for each. Turned off auto drop everything so nothing should automatically drop on my hotbar.

Leveled up to level 3 five minutes later. Had new stuff still auto popup on my hotbar. Had to rework everything again.

It sucks. Still one of the worst elements of the game.

That said, I'm very much enjoying Patch 6. I just think they really need to focus now on UI and Item Management.
