Add Rainbow Filter mod by default?

[Darkeshi]

With the upcoming expansion i thin that would be also a nice addition, most ppl that play this game use it anyways alongside GD Stash, so i could be awesome if were added on the default experience?

I'm not sure where you get your "facts" from, with a statement like that. I hate it, it's far too busy and very ugly looking. It's easy enough for people to add the mod if they like, I hope they never force this on us. I happen to love the new way rare/double rare and mi/rare are displayed now, it's enough for me.

nothing needs to be forced, i mean i can be like everyting else, enable or disable by checking an option like everything else in options

To be fair, you said by default. As a colorblind person, that would be very not fun.

I tried the mod once. It was horrifying.

Devs have already said they're not adding it to the game.

I understand people that don't like it, I personally find it useful for that first glance: "that looks useful". I would extend the discussion and say: what about more detailed loot filter options, does not have to be so complicated as in poe

the one praise i can give Last Epoch, is that their loot filter is the best in this genre period. they need to sell licences to that baby imo.

Add rainbow filter in game a make it toggleable? Sure, why not, no problem

Add rainbow filter in game by default and don't make it toggleable? I will hate it with extreme passion, stay this idiotic rainbow cringe clown fiesta for yourself, if you like it

I've been using rainbow filter for a long time by now, but with 1.2 improvements I feel like it's somewhat unnecessary.

I've to admit i'm kinda on a similiar spot. I started over on Xbox where you obviously can'T help yourself with mods, and no joke i sometimes lose the motivation / mood to keep playing due how painfully it is to go through imtes without colorized stats... it makes items much mroe readable which i personally find quite vital for a game like grim dawn which throw items at you with so many stats on them. Never thought i hit the point after so many hours and playing since early access, but this is geniunly the single most qol feature i miss right now...

Yeah, he meant if you add the features from rainbow filter (the mod is called rainbow filter) into the game by default.

Yeah I know, but like why? It exists as a mod already its already there for anyone who wants it.

I mean there's a whole list of disadvantages to something being a mod compared to something that's already part of the game.

Barrier to entry is higher, you have to know it exists, you have to be able to find it, for someone not technically adept installation is non trivial.

You also have to install it on all devices you want to use it on manually or your experience is inconsistent.

When there's an update (e.g. 1.2) it breaks everything, mod needs to be fixed, original maintainer might've already lost interest (see GrimInternals) so someone else might need to take over, that person might release it on a different place, so now whenever you look for the mod, you will first find the old, non-working version instead of the current one that works. Or the new version of the mod never releases at all and you are done.

It's also not possible to enable/disable the mod on-fly.

I would say all of that is quite huge list of disadvantages compared to dropdown menu in options which will take literally 10 seconds to turn on/off the mod whenever you want, at least from user experience point of view.
