Identification Kit Improve Go![edit]
How many clicks does it take to get to the center of a veteran player? More than 3.
So Identification Kits require you to double click on the kit, then click an item if you want to identify it.
Problem
Scenario 1: Adventuring has left us with 25 items to deal with before further adventuring. A couple trophy items that we'll either merch or keep. So we're left with 20 items, a mixture of whites, purples, golds, blues, you know, the meat. Now we haven't planned properly, so our trophy items are still dispersed randomly throughout the inventory spaces. We go on our identification spree, because we love to identify everything (more money) before we merch it. The clicking ensues. We get in the rhythm, we start double clicking, we're not even looking at what we get yet, and then oops, we clicked in between two items, so we have to redo the id kit. Oops, we clicked on the same item again. Oops, we clicked on the trophy item, etc etc. Thus our 60 clicks are now 100 clicks. Deckard Cain would be fuming.
Let's think of some different scenarios.
Fixes
Scenario 2: We have a superior identification kit in our inventory, which we carry like a lucky charm. It comes merchant time, and we go to id our items. This time, we double click the id kit, then click the id all nub on the inventory screen. Poof, all the unidentified items are identified and the kit is reduced by how many items it identified.
Scenario 3: We don't want to identify the green items we own, because we like them not having a merchant value, because they're special to us. We keep the green items in our bag with some of our extra armor and weapons. We double click our identification kit again, and this time we click on our backpack icon. It identifies all the items in our backpack, deducting the charges from the kit.
Scenario 4: We don't really care about any items besides golds, we just want our Wisdom title faster. We double click our identification kit once again, then click one of 4 nubs on the inventory panel, the rare one. It identifies all the gold items we have on us. If we don't want to id golds, we simply do the three other nubs and sell our golds for 700g apiece to other players.
You'll notice that all these fix scenarios still allow for the original double clicking to do single items. Any single of these improvements would vastly decrease the time needed to spend staring at inventory icons instead of enjoying the content.
