We absolutely do not have an in game loot filter or editor, what are you talking about?

You just conflated two different things.

If you are going to filterblade, that is just a graphical editor for the in game loot filter. It is not some 3rd party filter operating on top of the game. The loot filter is built in (notice how you can select which filter to use... from in the game).

You don't need to use filter blade, or any other site, to setup your filter. You can do so manually, in any text editor (like notepad) and just save the file in the appropriate POE config directory and it will be available to in IN GAME.

What we don't have is an in game editor. Two, very different, things.

You are arguing symantics because you didn't understand the post. "in-game loot filter SYSTEM" system meaning an fleshed out mechanic including an editor. Everyone else who read the post understood perfectly. Also a text editor is a 3rd party application. I want IN-GAME editing and so does everyone else.

No, I'm arguing for people to use words correctly. There IS an in game loot filter SYSTEM. The system is there, the EDITOR for it is not.

You want the in-game editing SO SAY THAT. Use the correct words, ask for what you want, not what already exists.

Have you tried poe2filter? It works pretty well for me

I feel like ggg will eventually do it, even D4 is getting an in-game loot filter in the near future

Wow, I cannot get over how much better this site is than Filterblade, I am never going back. THANK YOU!

You can do all those things with the right format, I don't used any of the. Sites that design the filter for you by putting in the info you want. It is very possible once you figure out the formats, it's a lot of work to set it up exactly they way you want.

My filter has every piece of equipment set up where if I want only white it will show only whites, if I want only exceptional for say wands to only show you can, I want only T4 magic to show and hide everything else you can.

You have to figure out how the format works. It requires a considerable amount of typing but to get target specific drops you have to put the work in.

Yes, many times over the years I have considered a manual filter but damn, it really is ALOT of work haha.

Yeah it's a considerable amount of work but it's worth it. I do an initial filter with everything showing, then duplicate it for different builds or points in progression then go back into each one and adjust it to that filter purpose.

Once your at that point then all you need to do is just update what GGG changes every league which isn't that much work.

Cheers mate!!

The problem with creating a filter yourself, is the next league...

I've actually skipped leagues simply because I didn't not want the hassle of going through and editing/updating my filter. Which is highly customized with unique sound bytes I've added, colors, and settings. Sure you could import the custom filter into one of the filter managing sites, problem is you have a 90% chance all that customization you did will be wiped out, and every single league you have to spend countless hours updating, and customizing again and again.

The OTHER big problem with relying on a site like filter blade, you are at the mercy of someone else doing thins correctly, pulling current pricing from wherever they decide to get prices from, and hope that they are correct, and nothing valuable in the filter is hidden, because of human error, or oversight.
I can't tell you how many item drops the first month of this druid league, I've had tinks drop, just to look it up and say, "Why the fuck is this 80ex item tinking!?" (It's because the price predicter/sync to the source filter blade uses was not updating...)

Perfect example, Filterblade uses poe.ninja for pricing update so you can sync pricing for your various sections of the filter (ie currency, uniques, essence, etc..) then define your price per tier, and finally auto sort items. It's great!

EXCEPT,..

When in the case of PoE 2, poe.ninja does not price uniques. Enjoy sorting out the hundreds of uniqes, and their current market price daily.

One thing LE had for it was it's in game filter, man that shit was top tier, only down side, manual pricing based on market. If GGG could build an in game "EDITOR" (so we don't upset the OCD) Combined with multiple sites that track market price, and you could chose which you want to sync to,.. (Or better inhouse tracking through the API, skipping all outside sources),... Now THAT would be the day..
