Show Encumbrance At Top of Inventory

Timestamp: A Big F'ing Dog 17:26, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Type: Improvement

Scope: Inventory

Description: I suggest displaying encumbrance level above the inventory. It would change "Inventory (click to use)" to "Inventory (click to use): X% encumbered." Why? Because when searching players often check to see how close they are to maximum encumbrance. This might require scrolling down to the bottom of the screen several times. Although scrolling down requires minimal effort there is no reason to not eliminate this minor persistent hassle, and this change requires no new coding just a minor page edit. Encumberance could still be displayed below your inventory.

This isn't a vote. :) This is where the suggestion gets bantered around for awhile before going up in flames, fading into obscurity, or moving on to the vote. Anyway, I like the idea. It's simple, would remove the need for a line of text, and would put useful information further up the page, making it more accessible. Simple, but useful. —Aichon— 18:27, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Why should my interface change after 4 years for your personal preferences. Get Greasemonkey. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 02:19, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Allow me to once again enumerate ad nauseam why it's a better way to do things. —Aichon— 02:47, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Izzy, I'll give you one really good reason why your interface could (and might just should) change after four years, the game does not revolve around you. I like the suggestion for the same reason Aichon does, it is simple, it is useful, and it is a nice and easy fix for kevan to make. No harm in it, and a bit of good. (Not much mind you, but it all makes a difference) -Devorac 06:39, 5 November 2009 (UTC) PS. Also for a number people I know, greasemonkey doesn't work so well. Really Izzy chill out and remember that other people play this game, not just you. -Devorac 06:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not just him, I don't like having my interface change very often either. I'm used to having it where it's at, and I like it where it's at. :c -- SA 13:33, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I know, and I would have no problems with it if he had said "Why should everyone's interface change..." it was the "My" that got me... People will decide if this goes to vote (kinda unlikely but wonders never cease) Personally I don't mind my interface,it only clutters when I'm carrying an absolute ton of FAKs and Needles, but this change has a merit to it. -Devorac 18:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

SA, I agree with you. It's useful to have it at the bottom of the inventory. But why not have it at the top as well? It's not like that line "(Click to use)" is so important that adding a bit of useful information after it will be distracting. --A Big F'ing Dog 19:49, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
