Patch Notes Clarity - FOV Flider and "Pickup Armor and Weapons"

reften · June 2014

FOV Slider • Our new field of view slider allows you to change the field of view while playing in first-person mode, and will let you change between the minimum FOV of 70 up to the maximum FOV of 130.
• The slider settings can be found in Settings > Camera, and under the First Person section.
• Your setting will be saved per character.

Pick up Armor and Weapons • Weapons and armor found in the world can now be picked up and equipped.
• These items are low quality, but can be used if needed.
• These items sell for 0 gold.
• These items can be upgraded through crafting.
• These items can be deconstructed, but yield very low inspiration and rarely yield usable resources.

So above are a couple pieces from the patch notes.

My questions.

1. - FOV Slider. I played with this, and saw no difference. What am I missing? I put the slide to both extremes and switched back and forth from 1st and 3rd and saw the same thing I've always seen.

2. Pickup Armor/Weapons - Ahhh, what? Can someone explain? I've been looting weapons and armor since the beginning, decon'ing it, selling it, wearing it, etc. What is different?

Thanks in advance

The difference is they have now added an exciting new assortment of trash weapons and gear (which are worth 0g and extremely low decon xp) to the loot tables. SURPRISE!

I'm sure most people remember the previous elder scrolls games where you could interact with almost anything. It's immersion.

The armor and weapons are in containers not laying around. They are garbage. I thought you'd be able to manipulate stuff in the world too. Instead they added garbage to the loot table. It's baffeling to me that anyone thought this was a good idea.

I like the extra items that one can pick up. The more the better, if one does not want it for some odd reason either 1) do not pick up 2) just destroy it.

The only thing that trash loot is good for is taking up already limited space in my bag. Every 20 minutes I have to stop and destroy a pile of trash. I would have been ok with them having this stuff laying around the world, but putting them in crates/desks/barrels etc was not a wise decision. I guess I can turn off autoloot and go back to slowly picking through the 100's of loot spots I usually hit each hour.

thanks for the replies.

Any thoughts on what the FOV slider does? (or is suppose to do?)

It adjust the FOV so you can see more in first-person view.

Pro Tip:

Mark items as "Trash" in the inv UI and when one pick the same item again like a plant or food, etc it will auto stack for you. Just go to your "trash tab" and all your items that do not want are there already and one just have to move it once. Also, go to any NPC vendor and sell all "trash" items. One does not have to keep shorting the items over and over again.

I have my inv auto put new items on the top of the list for me. Pick an item that I do not want, it is on top of the list move to "trash" I am done with it. I can sell it easy to any NPC vendor or I can find the "trash" item easy and destroy if I really need the space then and now. To me, it is an easy way to handle items that one does not want.

lols, they are worth ZERO gold and give ZERO crafting materials. what was the point of this change?

One defense, its nice to get jewelry at really early levels.

As far as I can tell from my limitted playing the rest of the features suck. I thought we were going to be able to pick up that stray sword that had been plunged into a tree and stuff like that, not screw up the only places we can find recipes.

It's not always maliciousness that drives these changes. Sometimes it's incompetence, too.

Hmmm, ok, but it didn't work

I agree with the sentiment that the new adds are really just clogging up the pack. Why put crap in barrels, bags and desks, etc. that aren't really useful, at all? At least I can use shank...I don't need any more items that have no value at really any level.

FOV slider works for me. It does add a little more to the view and seems to zoom out slightly.

Yes, it did. You may not notice the difference if you aren't paying attention, but it's working.
