Psijic Portals: only one item!?

DreamyLu · August 16

Hello All

Only a short question: these last days, I had 4 times (1 - 1 - 2) the strange case that when I looted a psijic portal, I got only one item...

Since we can't select what we take out of them, it was really a surprise to me. Probably a bug? I would just like to know if anyone else had the same case recently?

What do you mean, "we can't select what we take out of them"? I don't think I've ever tried to selectively loot one, but any other type of container or node that I've ever looted in the game has let me select the individual items in it if I wanted to. Are psijic portals different than everything else in the game in that respect?

No different as far as I know. I'm guessing the OP might have auto-loot turned on.

It was indeed just cherry picked previously.

hahaha! My bad... Yes, I autoloot and as it was first time I had that case, I never realized that portals are like containers with a possibility to select. OK, issue is solved.

I would say, no, the issue is not solved.

The question of what happened is answered, but the issue of some players selectively removing all of the best goodies from Psijic Portals and leaving the partially-looted portal for someone else to find will unfortunately be with us forever.

Well, for the containers, I keep not fully understanding how it works: I have autoloot, however, for chests and troves, I still get an intermediate interface and need to click further to loot, whereas for psijic portals, it's straight without intermediate step of selection. So it seems that not all containers are affected the same way by the autoloot option.

As for the issue of players not taking everything out of containers, those are probably the same who spawn under your nose to gather the plant you were on to gather, who stand on crafting table with horses, and so on... They are a minority, but they exist in all games and can be quite a bother at time...
