Lord of the Rings Online: Improving the Vault

in News & Features Discussion

In the latest Lord of the Rings Online developer journal entry, Game Systems Engineer 'Ransroth' discusses the in-game vault system and improvements the Turbine team has been working on for implementation soon. The improvements are being implemented based on player feedback on the official LOTRO forums and include things such as resizeable windows, icon-only view and the main view being broken down into 'renameable' chests.

Chest Separators and Renaming Chests

Instead of one long list, the main view is now broken out into chests, each with its own name and header. You can rename a chest to anything you like by double-clicking it, right-clicking it, or clicking the “Rename” button.

While editing the name, hit enter to confirm the new name or esc to cancel editing. You can also use the Submit and Cancel buttons that appear on the right hand side.

    Too bad it took until now to get it done we, asked for this durring beta, but no.  The dev who did it had a one liner the entire time of I cant fix it back.  It is a step in the right dirrection.

    Yep this was the reason I constantly got frustrated with Turbine... the game suffered a great deal from the devs making compromises with the inflexible engine. Nice to see them finally changing things like this, even if it is a few years too late for me.

    LOL.  You can't possibly be so clueless.  Well maybe you can.   

    "Wahhhhh.  We saw the new Vault in Beta, didn't like it, asked for various improvements, and INSTEAD of having all these great changes to us the next day, it took them little over a month after having taken all the user feedback to make these improvements!   WTH is wrong with Turbine for not giving us what we wanted the next day!!!  "

    Even with the best possible response time you can ever hope to see for such big changes to a major in game feature, it's hard to imagine some people think user feedback can (let alone should) be implemented immediately.

    I can see how some people can have their stomaches turned by such players.

    My biggest problem with the vault (and inv) is stuff is indicated as pictures. I dont know about you but I cant look at a picture of a chunk of rock and tell if its silver or ancient silver. I cant look at 100 items and tell if the background is purple, dark purple, or light purple. It would be helpful to see it like a spreadsheet with a picture icon, then a name, then stat info like levels, etc.

    It is pretty easy to tell from the picture, or just hover over it.

    You can use the icon view or the list view which also displays the name of the item.
