Loot filter, really?

guys, what a hell is that? Well, screenshot was made from russian game version so i`ll tell you that this is an ingame setting loot filter menu. WHAT A HELL???? i`ve almost made refund in steam when i saw this. Are you seriously, in 2025 wanted to make a game to play wich I need to go on on the forum, download some third-party file from some strange random person? A good enjoyable gaming experience suggests that I don't even know about the existence of the forum, i guess? but not suggests that i NEED to research forum INITIALLY before i can start a game, because loot filter is a required for the game?

what is this folder icon from the two thousandth years in my settings, why should I specify on my device to indicate the path to something somewhere after game installation...


REALLY, THIS IS SO TERRIBLE THAT I'M SURPRISED THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE FEEDBACKED ON THIS

please don't embarrass yourself. I, and any other player, dont want to look at this. What the problem was to make ingame interface to configure loot filter? Copypast it from undecember idk, it is here a few years already...

Would be enough imo if they make something like Last Epochs ingame loot filter.
No external sources/download needed and can be customized within minutes.

Nah, I wouldn't reccommend downloading a random lootfilter on the forums, they usually show way too much trash and don't highlight the gear you actually need. I would suggest making your own. it takes about 10minutes to do so - PoE filter language is pretty easy to understand.

This is the flaw in your argument

The loot filter is only really required when you reach maps and you run end game maps/content.

I played the first part of the story without a loot filter, and the second part with the generic/barebone loot filter from the neversink's github page. I didn't have any issue.

true, The game can be played without loot filter relatively comfortable, before the endgame content, but filter is absolutely necessary when you play endgame

and even through acts it is much more enjoyable to play with it

Even Last Epoch has UI for loot filter. Well Last Epoch has auction too. I hope GGG can do better than small indie developer.

Posts like that make me laugh.

Thanks OP.

Its impossible to play or see anything especially if your main attack skill is bind to left mouse button.

Sometimes a feel that marketing this game to new audience was a mistake...

Imagine that a LOOTER ACTION RPG has a Quality of Life feature soo you can focus less on reading every single bit of text on the screen, a feature you can enable/disable/customize when you feel like it.

Sure Last Epoch did it better, but it has an entire different and less complex crafting/itemization system and you don't have to identify items. And even then, you can download/import from the internet all the same and they usually come paired with builds.

GGG already made the whole language for the filter, I believe an UI with a good UX for a problem that would only affect people at the endgame isnt in the top of their priorities.

Also the filter is simple a text file, the security issues with that are quite low, if someone is asking that you run any file, its already wrong.
AND when its released for PoE 2, you can load it using an API on the PoE website, not messing with files, a cloud synced loot filter.
