Open my character. See that “stats and materials” is lit up with a diamond. Open it and see materials tab is lit up.
Go to materials tab. Mouse over every single item to make the diamond disappear.
Fight one enemy and get a materials drop.
Materials tab lights up with a diamond again.
Make it stop. The materials tab should only light up when you find an entirely new material (e.g. your first spark), not every time you pick up anything. It’s super annoying.
Oddly enough I’ve stopped noticing that little diamond when I open my inventory. It just doesn’t bug me at all. That being said we should have an option to disable it if we want.
The curse of the red dot. Same deal when you earn new titles.
Pretty frustrating, for anyone with even the mildest OCD, we’re gonna have to eventually give in (spending much longer than we should have to hunting for the updated things) and dismiss the notifications.
Definitely feels like we should be able to disable it, or at least have a ‘mark as read’ equivalent, so we can just clear everything at once.
Yeah this is one of those little things that annoy me in this game.
Really makes you wonder why it is still a thing, must be easy to fix.
Just like the purple text popup when followers gain exp.
Or the warning of world bosses appearing, at this point the best time to find a world boss is when the game doesnt mention them at all.
World Bosses: So true.
Doesn’t bother me at all. Guess not caring is the way to go on this.
Once you realize it’s mean squat it’s easier to ignore.
I’m torn on this… I agree it’s a pointless notification (there are several of them like map updates and shop alerts) that serve no real purpose… but this is the Blizzard coding team we’re talking about… what are the odds that they change the notification code and… every 100th time you pick up materials it deletes your entire stack of them.
There are way more important UI and stability issues for them to attempt fixing. Or maybe we should only let them change little things until they can do them repeatedly without messing up?
