What is the worst change in Cata you’ve seen in YOUR opinion?
Who was the piece of work who thought it’d be a good idea to ask every time if I want to drop my weapon when I apply the “take off” command to it? If I want to drop my weapon, I’ll drop it. If I want to put away my weapon, I would like to put it away without further questions. To the inventory you go, weapon. You might as well prompt the player if he’d want to put away the weapon whenever he’d issue the ‘drop’ command.
I can understand that “putting away a weapon”, or any held item, can be understood in at least three ways, which I believe is the reason why the menu was created. 1) dropping the weapon, 2) putting it in the inventory or 3) sheathing/holstering it. The menu is the wrong approach. What we need is a hotkey for holstering/sheathing the held item.
At most you might create a menu/prompt for PULLING OUT any holstered/sheathed item, because conceivably you could have several full holsters/sheaths. So you’d have a hotkey for “unholster item”, which would conjure up a neat numbered menu of all of your currently holstered items. In case the player already holds an item when giving the unholster command, the unholster should be cancelled with a message like “Drop or put away your currently held item first”. Although I wouldn’t mind if the game defaulted to “putting away” first. Drop only if no room in inventory.
Anyway, that menu, the prompt, is the worst because it’s in my face all the time. Anyone with me on this?
