More or less in the title. It is useful to see how the item in a shop will improve the same item in my inventory (the stats/rarity/etc). However, on PC at least, there doesn't seem to be a way to compare to my currently equipped item. Is there way to do this?
If not, please could this be added in as a QOL feature in a patch?
Puzzling. A simply button press on console to compare it to your equipped gear item.
I would like to add my support to his feature being implemented.
The problem as I'm seeing it on PC is that if you select a shop item that is "new", meaning you don't already have a version, then you can hit the key (or R2 on controller) to bring up the stats of your currently equipped item from the same slot. This is perfect.
The difficulty is that if you select a shop item that you already own, whether it's equipped or not, then it shows you the item's upgrade stats if you buy it. But there's no way to compare that to your currently equipped item.
So if I'm wearing light armor that's as upgraded as I've been able to make it, but I have other light armor in my inventory, then selecting the "other" one in a shop shows me how good it will be upgraded, but I have no way to know if that would be better than what I'm already wearing.
So as mentioned, I have to exit from the shop completely, open inventory and look at the stats of what I'm wearing, and then go back into the shop to see if it's worth spending the gold to upgrade the other item.
And if there's 2-3 items at one vendor that will upgrade stuff in my inventory, I have to do this multiple times. It's really inconvenient and breaks the otherwise good flow of shopping.
Community ManagerThanks for reaching out to the community, I can agree getting a preview button would be nice. I can confirm we've passed the feedback on to our team.
I think this is in game already. Press C while browsing the merchant's items. That, of course, if you are talking about PC version.
That is a different compare. It will compare to a matching item in your inventory (or if you happened to have it equipped). But it doesn't show whether or not that item is equipped or not. Some people (like myself), can never remember what item I have equipped at any one time. So you have to exit the merchant, open inventory, look at whatever item is in the slot, see if it was the same one, etc.
If the item is subject to upgrade you see the result otherwise you can only see the item description vs equipped. Just test in game what [C] key does when you browse the items. Also I'm pretty sure in upgrade case, when you see the resulted stats, there is a note at the bottom saying "equipped" if it is the case.
