What purpose does this serve? I like to know my exact number of add-ons as some work better together and I'll try go get roughly the same amount.

Now, I have no idea how many I actually have if over 999.

Why is this necessary?

    Wait, I thought the 999+ was only displayed on equiped items. Why would they change it on the inventory as well???

    i 100% agree that this change has a huge questionmark over it. Don't see the point at all over this change. Revert.

    I'm doing a lot of challenges with my community where we collect items/add-ons/offerings and this change completely killed it. Please please please revert this change. I've played this game for over 9k hours and I want to show and know how much I earned in that time. Where's the point in grinding if I don't know how much I've gotten?

    PLEASE REVERT THIS CHANGE!

    I think that showing a 999+ on the equiped slots is fine, but you should see the exact number while checking the inventory.

    BHVR has to store the value of how many of each addon we have to know when it ticks under 999.

    I don't know what the problem is with them showing us the full figure. Make it a toggle, if they're concerned about clarity at a glance.

    Agree. I'd like to see my addon / item stack. It gives a sense of progression even when you reached p100. Please revert.

    Absolutely unneccessary change. It needs to be reverted asap. Maybe they want people to interact with the support more because you can bet that I will be writing a support ticket whenever I want to know how many cakes I have left on my main survivor.

    I can't imagine caring about a number (Item Count minus 999) that isn't going to affect my gameplay for literally hundreds of hours. And that's if it EVER has an effect. (You don't get that many of an item if that number is going down with any regularity.)

    If you're on some made up side-quest collectathon, that's cool, but I wouldn't label the devs as "awful", "annoying", or "terrible" because they didn't know about it.

    I'm sure they'll hear your concerns and probably change it, but geez, y'all actin like they killed your dog or something

    Personally, I find it annoying that I have 999+ of an item in the first place. I've already unlocked all perks, and I've prestiged the characters I care about, so that number is just a reminder of how useless BPs are after a certain point. I'd love to be able to trade some items in and reroll (even if I have to take a loss).

    It's also still 4 characters long so whats even the point 999+ is the same length as 1000. If you want to avoid 5 digits just make it so once you reach 10,000 it says "10k+"

    This is something that bothers me too.

    I really like the change that shows the count of items that are equipped. However, removing the ability to see exactly how many I have of a specific item/offering beyond 1000 is stressful and unnecessary. I like to collect things, but I need to know how many I have, especially for anniversary cakes so that I can make sure to have enough to last me all year, and then so that I can pace myself when I spend them during the year.

    A mitigation that would still be a bit inconvenient but at least better than nothing would be to show the real count when you hover over it or select it. I would just prefer a setting that would be a toggle between the "streamlined" version showing 999+ and the "display item count" version showing the real number. This way we could still easily check what we have but people who prefer knowing less could still be happy.

    We need to grind so hard to accumulate this many items, please let us manage our inventory as we see fit. For that, we need all the information.

    revert this change there is absolutely no reason why we should be capped at 999 and any of us that have more shouldnt be able to see the rest of our inventory items. simply not being able to see our max cap is ridiculous if i have 1000+ how do i know how many i have left? lets say i want to keep a certain number and not have it drop below 999 items

    Exactly, every update the UI gets worse and worse and adds useless things no one has ever asked for, and yet the things people have been begging for forever, like adding more cosmetic and perk presets they refuse to do. It's so frustrating.

    How about instead of capping items at 999 why not implement a way to sell unused items & addons that are accumulating dust for extra Bloodpoints. Now that would be a useful quality of life feature.

    This 100% should be reverted. Hiding the number adds nothing positive to the game whatsoever.

    I don't know why did they do this change.

    The UI was fine.

  • NarkoTri1er

    honestly, it looks very tidy and cozy, they should maybe only add possibility to hover over an item/addon/offering to see the actual full number
