Huh, didn't know about that. Sweet! Thanks for the tip.

I did this accidentally on one toon, and wasn't sure how I'd done it. Thanks!

Please elaborate on "name field". Do you mean the text entry window at the very top? Or the nested list of items in the left column? Because I have wanted a feature like this forever, had no idea it existed, and can't check in-game from this computer.

Debt barely slows down levelling these days. It's just a little bar that measures how much Awesome you've generated recently. (If you're not getting debt, you're just not trying to generate Awesome hard enough.) -Kelenar

that's great!

although it doesn't make me hate the 'useful salvage' warning any less...

Oh, how true that is! I HATE that warning -- being able to disable it only temporarily is not sufficient, it needs to have a permanent disable option.

I habitually disable it (and the listing fee warning) before actually committing any transaction, because accepting it appears to correlate with the market selling the wrong thing. Just last night, after a mission with a friend, I was wondering if I still needed to be doing that. Right after I wondered that, my friend started cursing because she accepted the prompt and it sold the wrong thing. (It hadn't happened to her in a while.)

That it (still) does that really makes me wish we could disable it permanently.

I approve of this UI upgrade.



At least since I started playing (or shortly there after)

Sorry - I thought everyone knew about this.

I want it to have a permanent on/off in the options like most other popups. And additionally a way to have it ignore memorized recipes but still warn on held recipes.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

Heh. I guess we just get used to doing it the way we have always done it. This is a great change!


Although I went back through the patch notes to see what else I might have missed and couldn't find a mention of it specifically. But again the notes for I18 were pretty long so I might have missed it again. Glad you posted about it!

That happened to me just today. I spent about a minute staring at the screen wondering where the hell the IO had gone, until I found it in the for sale screen. Luckily it was only listed for 5 million or so. Then I remembered seeing the bug mentioned here.

That pop-up needs to be taken out back and shot. Clearly, it was designed by an idiot. It warns you about salvaged used in MEMORIZED recipes as well. Obviously, my badge hunter has a lot of recipes memorized.

I second this.

Wow, nice.

This will make it about 5 times faster to marketeer too.

This has annoyed me to the point it changed my game play. all my salvage now gets stored in my base, and low levels sweep through every few days and list it all so I don't see that silly warning.
