Serious question about the loot filter.

Original Post — Direct link

This sh*t is perfect, i'm enjoying making these lists of rules as much as picking up the loot itself. Coming from PoE with filterblade where its all convoluted (you need go to a third party website to scroll through a bunch of menus; f*ckery with profiles; figuring out how to add sounds etc), seeing this just being integrated in-game and so user-friendly makes me feel spoiled.

It lacks only 1 serious feature: ability to add your own sounds. I need to add a bunch of cringe outdated memes in order to make my loot filter feel complete, it just feels wrong without them.

So is there any news about them adding a feature like that or maybe there's some tool which allows me to add custom sounds? Its genuinely a tragedy what i can't put my personalized sh*tty memes as a last touch to make my experience whole. :\

This is a frequently requested feature that we have so far not been interested in implementing.

Do you maybe plan to add a small collection of your own hand picked sound effects that one could select for filter rules?

That is significantly more likely but we have opted not to include it for 1.0.

Thank you for answering, i hope you will consider adding this feature in full release.

From what i saw in some older posts, your concern is about streamers giving a bad look to the new players with their custom sounds, some of them might be of a poor taste ( or at least that's how i understood the reasoning from the first glance). I think that's a valid concern for a studio, specially when you're opening to the masses with the public launch.

But after the full release and initial exposure i think the potential risk is negligible. I can only compare it to PoE with its own filter, and i dont think it ever got them in any kind of trouble. If there's any potential bad press or attention from a certain streamer using custom sounds, you can always ban them and move on.

This feature is for players to customize their experience, making memorable moments for themselves and bringing their personal touch to the game, just like how people do with the loot filter itself and theory-crafting their builds. Its just a bummer what with such easy to understand and easy to use filter, you don't have that cherry on top to seal the deal.

There's prob a lot of people like me who share the same sentiment, so i hope you guys implement custom sounds in the future. I think extra things like these are the final touches which makes good games into great games, which you keep coming back to, because it feels personal at that point.

Amazing game btw, loosing sleep over it at the moment. 1.0 can't come soon enough.

That is one reason that did add to the consideration.

1.0 is content and feature locked. We are days away from polish lock too. It's far to late to add it in full release. We would have needed to decide to add it months ago.

I'm still pushing to add it every time it comes up in a meeting and well written feedback like this is how things get changed. We are far from finished developing the game and I'm still hopeful we can add this at some point.

1.0 has been so long coming for us that I also can't wait :)

Ha! And that was my "leave the door open a crack" answer. I've got a few that I'll literally say "No." to.

u/ekimarcher also regarding loot filters, I saw a post on LE forums from a while back about having the loot filter rules apply on items in your inventory. If you have X item to recolor as red when dropped, can it also be recolored as red when viewing it in the inventory?

Are there any plans about this? It would make it easier to see “why did I pick this up?”

No, we don't have this functionality available.
