why we dont get a gem tab?
It would probably crash their servers. Honest guess.
Oh this is a Blizzard game. Youâll have to beg MUCH harder for basic QoL.
Gem tab is supposedly for S2 =)
People still pick up and hoard gems?
It will not be itâs own tab, but added to the material section.
Because this is Blizzard in name only now.
There will be the option to buy one for $4.99 in season 2
LOL
Funny how they can move at lightning speed to âfixâ when people start finding powerful builds and thus having fun⌠but adding any quality of life features or fixing bugs? âGame development isr eally hard guys! Just wait for a couple months to a year and weâll get right on it!â
Why we dont pay attention to campfire chats?
Tell me you have no clue what youâre talking about without telling me?
Youâve never written a line of code in your life if you think those changes would be the same.
Actually; I HAVE, entire programs in fact. And the changes would be incredibly easy⌠considering the âtab for a certain type of itemâ architecture already exists in the game; it would just be a matter of adding one more instance of it, tied to a different item tag, IE: gems instead of elixirs, etc. The fact that the game is coded like trash, and has to load every single instanced playerâs entire inventory and stash when you enter a zone; and thus this change would make that lag-spike problem even worse is an entirely unrelated issue to whether the gem tab existing is an easy or hard fix.
You think that changing a single number to nerf a skill is the same size of a change as a ui redesign and associated interactivity. And you claim to have written âentire programsâ
Bs.
Devs donât code individual elements by hand anymore; a UI-button is part of a pre-existing framework. Adding a tab is hardly âredesigningâ anything; considering the tab system, inventory system, and item tags all already exist and are in use.
Ditto the oft-requested ability to zoom the camera out: the code already exists; itâs used in the world boss fights⌠The fact that none of the environments were designed with you being able to see more is a different issue.
To make you spend more time dealing with the real game: item filtering and reading simulator
The tab wouldnât be the same as any other tab, and what is it you think the framework will do with the graphics? These arenât java swing buttons.
And theyâre not adding a gem tab, itâs going into materials, which doesnât have any similar functionality where you can click on it and put it in a socket.
They first have to figure out how to make your gem stash âreadableâ by any other player you come across without breaking the game.
Now who is asserting things they couldnât possibly know for certain⌠Please; do tell me more about the features that âwillâ exist but donât yet.
As I told OP above: pay attention during campfire chats and dev updates and you wonât miss things. You can also read summaries.
Yes; because Blizzard would never over-promise things to try to put out PR fires that they donât know if they can or will do in future; letâs blindly trust that this mega-corporation is being perfectly honest with us; and everything they promise WILL definitely see the light of day, itâs worked so well before! ⌠Donât look over there: itâs the corpse of Overwatch 2âs single-player content⌠itâs starting to smell a bit.
