QoL Controls Customization: Inventory Menu Navigation Cell-By-Cell and a Pointer Scroller

Hello ALL!

I noticed Quad tab is hard to navigate to the very far end of the cell area itself, very annoying since you can't change the rate of speed on a console on how you navigate across cells (Plus it's wonky in inventory at times, can't tell where your highlight is when pop up info blocks it). I'm sure I am not the only person who hates this who plays on PoE Console. It would be nice to implement a pointer mouse scroller into some parts of the game as for the purpose of quality of life.

I don't see why you cannot combine the two to have both cell-by-cell and a mouse scroll pointer. I would love it if the D-Pad arrows on the controller did the cell-by-cell movement and the scrolling pointer was the L3 joystick (or that customization for R3 was available in the menus). This would make it easier to get across the screen to change something, also even change skills, which is kind of a nightmare sometimes because it unstacks scrolls in the inventory when you try sometimes when you try to assign a skill to Square. It would be easier to drag and drop skills where you want them instead of pressing(PS5 controller) Square, X, or Circle which does something different when you are on a selected skill. As for the Passive Tree, I would probably keep the snap to nodes the same, as well as other similar menus. A pointer scroller in some places but not all places would be nice, you get the gist. Also, if implemented, a sensitivity control and acceleration control would be nice in the Options Menu (I know I like mine moving super fast across the screen).



Speaking of controller customization, I know specifically on Playstation, there is a touchpad you can use which I have used in other games as shortcuts for things like gear options in Warframe. I wish this was put into use as well but completely not necessary, as XBox/PC get no advantage from it. Console Warframe also has full keyboard and mouse support on their console cross-save game as well but that's beside the point.

I've been playing since the launch of PS Path of Exile and even before on PC(which I just mainly use for work now, and it's slower than my PS5 for gaming). I've hated the cell-by-cell inventory selection navigation movement of the console version since the beginning. I've been meaning to make this post for a long time. If this change were implemented, I would probably play more and spend more money on the game (already bought so many self/guild stash tabs, and a few looks here and there).

Thanks for reading, hope this is implemented on console PoE at some point, if not the 2nd one coming out soon!

On xbox tilting right stick in the direction you want seems to move the cursor at an accelerated speed. Left stick performs the same action with normal speed.
