When I try to move an item to a stash, sometimes it’s thrown to the floor. Only in legacy mode
ex)
First, open the Stash.
Pick up the item and click on the mercenary portrait side.
mercenary says “cannot be used”
Then, when you click on this text, the item is thrown to the floor.
- It doesn’t matter what text it is. (terror zone notifications or chats I typed…)
// The legacy mode I’m talking about is the screen that comes out when you press the G key.
// Stash means a box in town that stores items. When you open the Stash, you can’t see the mercenary portrait, but if you bring the items to that location, the mercenary will react.
Sir this is no error… In D2R Classic ( or legacy how you call it) Mercenaries do not accept nor equip player given items, they instead generate each game load ( or upon recruitment) with a set of items with random affixes same way Amazon’s Valkyrie or Assassin’s shadow fighters do…
to make matters worse Mercenaries in Classic mode don’t travel from act to act with you, instead they get dismissed. same way when they die, you have to recruit a new one, as there is no resurrection option… any summons you have before traveling to a new act get dismissed as well Iron golem does not persist between game sessions either like they do in full game…
The legacy mode I’m talking about is the screen that comes out when you press the G key.
ok i think i’m beginnig to get this… but just get me some facts straight
#1 do by the term “stash” you mean player inventory under equipped items or the actual stash a.k.a chest with 1tab of private items and 3 tabs of shared items? i assume it’s player’s inventory since you can’t go from stash to merc portrait… am i right?
#2 what item and what mercenary does this happen with…
bare in mind:
act 1 merc can only use bows and amazon bows ( at least in D2R they can use amazon bows), but no crossbows and no melee/thrown weapons
act2 merc can use spears, polearms, and javelin class weapons ( but for melee only wont throw)
act3 merc can use one handed swords and shields
act5 merc depending on the type you pick bash can use one two-handed or one one-handed sword and frenzy type can use two one-handed swords…
#3 all mercs don’t use other weapons they are not proficient with, and merc must meet strength and dexterity requirements for the weapon you’re about to give to them… merc have strength and dexterity parameters of their own, and if they are too low on those stats they won’t equip the item… the best way to check ohw much strength and dexteryity your merc has it is best to hover the mouse over their portrait, wait few seconds until it lits, and right click the merc’s icon. a new window will popup ( the keyboard shortcut is usually “o”) there you’ll see full merc’s stats, and you’ll be able to diagnose the problem.
all mercs gain strength and dex when they level up, yet a3 merc is notoriously known for having low stats…
and yes if you push the item too quickly into merc’s portrait it usually does not trigger the icon lit and simply the item falls to the ground…
i hope i’ve exhausted the matter on this topic… or is there something else?
Stash means a box in town that stores items. When you open the Stash, you can’t see the mercenary portrait, but if you bring the items to that location, the mercenary will react.
well it shouldn’t anyways, so if it used to work and does’t work now, i consider it a bugfix rather than a bug… merc shouldn’t equip items when stash is open, period…
if you want a method of equipping your merc without touching charms that clog your inventory you may switch to 3d graphics with resolutions greater than 1280x720, so FullHD or 2k or 4k will do, and open character inventory screen and merc panel by pressing “i” and next “o” this way You’ll have a narrow ground view betweenthe panels, where you can pick up the items from the ground, and place them into merc panel
and if you play on a potato and are unable to launch the game in 3d graphics i’d say tough luck… git gud
More importantly, when you use the stash, the items are thrown to the floor.
Try the example in the first post.
why the hell try and pull the items to the corner of the screen?! there’s no stash grid there you try to make a bug statement for the sake of making a bug statement not because it breaks the game in some meaningfull way… liteally no one b4 you did that. Because it’s pointless to try to place items beyond stash grid, you found some meaningless totally ommitable glitch and claim it to be a huge bug… and it’s only in legacy graphics, a thing nobody with their right mind uses, after the cooley’s gold glitch has been patched… srsly instead of complaining go play the game…
Due to PC spec issues, I often play in Legacy mode. And as you can see from the post, there are some cases, not just mercenaries. In fact, sometimes items are thrown to the floor. I don’t know why you are complaining so much.
