Berry.1403 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I agree with everyone who wants the "Compact all" Button to be removed or at least have the option to remove it from the UI. I've sorted my inventory for the 3rd time now in 25 minutes.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synk.6907 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Since the headstart weekend in 2012 when I began playing, I think I've used 'compact inventory" a total of 2 times, both by accident. For me, as an individual, it is a useless feature. However, I imagine those who use it may be happy to see it given a quicker access, just as I am with the deposit materials.I applaud the UI team providing quicker access to these buttons, but please allow players to toggle both of these -- if toggled on, the individual button is presented next to the cog wheel, like in today's update; if off, they remain in the cog wheel menu. Or maybe the toggle only controls the additional buttons, and keep them in the menu as before regardless (I find myself, out of habit, going into the menu looking for the deposit option a lot so far!).UI changes are great -- especially since I think this is one many folks have wanted for a while? -- but providing options for users with varying preferences is even greater.

For the sake of all non-compactors though the button(s) should be toggle-able.Or all the options of the cog could be transformed to toggle-able Icons. Just activate the ones you need & want. (What?

Cyninja.2954 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Agreed with all who ask for a compact button removal or deactivation.Some of us have inventory management which completely gets screwed if the button is pressed. Having it this close next to the deposit all button is very dangerous and can lead to unnecessary issues for some players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saniyah.1984 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 You used to be able to moved compact button to bottom of menu, because randome stuff happened >.>Why did you put it so close to the deposit button???Please changed the moved compact buttom to bottom in option to toggle compact button on or off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandzibar.5134 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 oh goody.. now i get to show/hide rarity rather than store anything thanks to 8 years of muscle memory and a UI you just arbitrarily decided to make a "change" to. +100000 on the remove compact all button. if you lot are running out of things to do theres an entire WvW game mode that needs dev time.

robertthebard.8150 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I like it, saves time when I'm in the field and realize I haven't taken care of my inventory for a while. Nice changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 You guys don't use invisible bags for the stuff you want to manage? Why?This is a welcome addition, but I'm certainly not opposed to making it an option.[edit] And shouldn't you then use invisible bags for everything?

Manasa Devi.7958 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 It took years of requests before it became possible for the "compact" menu option to be a bit further away from the "deposit" button. It was a great solution to make it configurable: people who were happy with where it was were served as well as the people who wanted it gone. Now this, this doesn't feel like a QoL feature, but a step backwards.I've deposited stuff twice since the update. The first time, I started off with toggling the rarity indicator. No big deal, but both times, I sat up straight before approaching the buttons, apprehensive of accidentally hitting the wrong button. Wide-screen, small interface, fast mouse pointer. Accident waiting to happen.Please implement an option similar to the earlier one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berry.1403 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 @DeanBB.4268 said:[edit] And shouldn't you then use invisible bags for everything?Well, you need at least one or two that aren't invisible, because otherwise you won't be able to sell stuff anymore, as things in invisible bags don't appear for vendors or the trading post.It would also mean equipping a lot of characters with them, as so far I have used the normal 20-slot bags e.g. from Halloween, as they're easier to obtain.The options would therefore be (at least in my case)a) spent a few hundred gold to retroactively get invisible bags for all my charactersb) ask for an option to toggle the button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killerassel.2197 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 What irony. A few years ago the two options to clean up inventory and to bring total chaos to inventory were separated further apart in the menu. I think that change came shortly after a streamer had misclicked in a live stream. And now you add this as buttons right next to each other, again super easy to hit the wrong option? What a great idea... not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why?This is a welcome addition, but I'm certainly not opposed to making it an option.[edit] And shouldn't you then use invisible bags for everything?You can't use all invisible bags, otherwise you can't sell or deposit anything. I keep a lot of stuff in my invisible bag, but there's other items in my inventory which I want to stay where they are as well.I have my inventory split by bag, sized as a 5x4 grid and placed above the chat box so I can open it during combat and still see what I'm doing, and on the bottom row of the first bag I have 3-5 consumables so I can access them quickly when I need them. I'll sometimes also have other things I'm keeping in other bags, again seperated by function (for example weapons bought with karma to unlock the skins which I'm saving until I have enough to put them in the Mystic Forge, which I don't want to mix up with the useful weapons in my invisible bag). It's not worth buying special bags to keep them because things are constantly shifting around based on what I'm doing, but I still don't want it all dumped into the top bags mixed in with random loot.Literally the only problem I've had with this system in 8 years is randomly hitting compact when I meant to deposit, and for a long time that was solved by seperating the two options. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask Anet to reapply the solution they had already created, even if there are other players who don't need it.

kharmin.7683 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Finally found time to log in and look at this. Like several others, I greatly appreciated when the Compact button was moved away from the Deposit All button in the menu list. With the change, I find that both options are much more convenient. For me, though, rather than opting to remove one or both of the buttons, I would be satisfied with just giving them a bit more space between them to make it less likely for me to click the wrong one. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SexyMofo.8923 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Compact button is the worst button in the game. Players who even use this button are psychos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I liked storing materials being part of the list in the cog-menu.I'd like compact and storing materials being back in there.This was a terrible and unneeded change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Koopa.2354 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This change was something between useless and disrespectful.As mentioned by the OP, an option was introduced many years ago to move the compact menu item away from the deposit materials one for a reason.Whoever implemented this change should've realized how wrong it is by the time they simply removed the checkbox from the Option dialog. Or they really didn't care about why it exists in first place.Booh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I wish Anet hadn't wasted time with this change.I'm also saddened that they force feed these options on us. Leave the prior methods alone and offer this new way as an option. Give us a way to hide, remove or disable the compact option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
