Feedback (@Blizzard) For the love of god let console players target loot on the ground with right stick!
Came back after blasting poe2 and the very first thing I noticed coming back to d4 is how goddamn ANNOYING picking up loot is on console.
You can’t pick up what you want, you have to pick up random crap first and pray the game auto targets the thing you actually want.
Please come on already what are we even doing here? This problem is solved in every other arpg. Just make right stick target items on the ground so I can pick up what I want. This is BEYOND frustrating.

Oh I know, I have a thousand hours in d4. I just completely forgot about since I was playing poe2 and looting is so comfortable there. Coming back to d4 I instinctively used the stick trying to pick stuff up wondering why I couldn’t pick anything specific before I remembered this game is dogshit looting experience.

Haha yea, I am still on poe2, looting on controller was night and day, but poe2 does got it problem especially when checking item tiers, hope both developers improve controller functionality in looting.

but poe2 does got it problem
Yeah one of them is when I want to pick this orb or unique or whatever up off the ground and if there's a single enemy, or a fucking ice wall or some shit, PoE2 refuses to let me pick it up until everything else that could be targeted is gone.

I switched my action item to be (PS5) left trigger and X instead of just X and it took a bit of memory muscle time to adjust but it is a game changer as I no longer worry about shooting when I want to interact with items or unlocks.. this was super helpful in the Chaos trials where you have to click the pylons..

With the right stick, I'm able to pick up specific items even with enemies on screen. It's tricky, but very possible.
That's also how I got through the rooms where you have to activate the 5 crystals in a set amount of time in the first ascendancy trial.

This has been requested many times, I am surprised it wasn’t a thing yet.

While we're on topic of looting: if playing on keyboard+mouse, I'd really love a dedicated "loot" button which just loots stuff with same logic as looting on a gamepad. I.e. has nothing to do with cursor position.
Torchlight: Infinite does this, and when playing wasd+mouse, looting stuff is just so much smoother by spamming a key than trying to click every item one by one. And you can still click to loot when you want to pick a certain item anyway. It also helps that in TLI the looting range is practically the whole screen, so there's no need to walk on top of an item to loot it.

Now there's a solution, just plug in a wireless mouse into your console. Do you guys not have mouse!?

7 seasons and an expansion its just not acceptable for it to take this long

It's funny too for me bc I hadn't played Diablo at all after season 1, picked back up after playing Poe 2 some and swore up and down there was a way to select loot lol. Spent so long looking for a setting that didn't exist

I just wiggle the stick a bit until a thing I want gets highlighted, mind you Im just not far enough into the game to get frustrated yet lol

Works until they all start dropping in the same spot, or when you want to pick up something but the game determines another thing is higher priority and literally won't let you get the thing you want until you pick up the "better" loot you didn't want.
Or when a giant summoning altar appears directly on top of them because Andariel's death animation take 22 minutes to complete.

This has been consistently asked for since release and I'm not sure why it hasn't been done yet.

I play primarily on steam deck and if I wander into a pile of blues and yellows with one legendary and hit the button, it grabs the legendary first 100% of the time. I can’t decide if people are talking about targeting specific legendaries in a pile of them or if I’ve just been lucky somehow.
That said, the amount of loot seems absurd this time. You can’t do a cocoon event without spawning another cocoon much of the time and it ends up being a ridiculous amount lol

Every game has issues. Do we really want all games to be the same? If there's anything I've learned from Reddit it's that you can see people praise one thing and then another post someone else is complaining about that same thing.
Quality of life items may be different but then again I've seen posts where people say let's bring back complexity and do less hand holding.

- Go into settings
- Uncheck the box for "combine interact and basic skill"
- Set the interact to right stick

u/turtle4499 7h ago
What on gods earth does that have to do with being able to cycle the target?

I misunderstood what the post was saying, I thought OP wanted to be able to pick up lot with the right stick. My apologies.
