Local Coop | Inventory - Character menu

[Deesel]

Just bought the game a couple of days ago, plays great and is a blast on local coop.

I have one question tho. Do the devs have any plans to change the inventory/character screens for local coop to resemble something like HTS1 (split screen).

Because having to wait for your coop partner while he is in the inventory/leveling up etc. is taking some of the fun and pace away from the game.

I was about to post something like that. My kids are complaining about it too.

[Deesel]

yeah, i really hope they get around to implement this - but seeing as this is more aimed at a multiplayer experience (4 player coop online) i have my doubts

Yeah, full screen for only one person makes local co-op a drag. I don't see why it couldn't be cleaned up to run more like HTS1.

I just tried the game, and i'm very disappointed! This inventory system sucks! It needs to be changed to the original system. I'm sure something can be done to have 4 inventories opened at the same time. I only bought this game for local coop, and there is no way you can play the game this way.

Nobody cares seeing their character in the inventory.
And the inventory as a list is really bad too.

I don't understand why you would change something that was working great for something like that.

All I was expecting for for this sequel were nicer graphics/effects/animation, and more places to explore + 4 players local coop.

Haven't touched the game since...still hoping for an update to fix this. Makes the game basically worthless for local co-op.

This also keeps me from playing with friends over. A less intrusive menu would be great.

Yeah this seems like a major oversight. Enjoyed the first game and thought this could only be an improvement. Quite unfortunate they omitted the ability to navigate inventories independently. The menu UI can be frustrating, at the very least annoying, to navigate if you aren't using a mouse/keyboard making it even more obnoxious that you have to manage inventories seperately. Sadly, for those looking to play local co-op, this is a deal breaker. This style of game requires you to go through your stuff a lot and its just way too irritating having two or more players take turns commanding the whole screen every minute. This game absolutely must allow simultaneous menu control.

Still waiting and hoping!

It seems the only way we gonna get this is if someone makes a mod.

Then you aren't playing on the couch with your friend/partner/whatever.

That's true. in either case it should be fixed. but if you ever do manage to get another computer, no need to worry about it. until then, good luck my friend.

Please someone fix this.
