Request: Hide bag(s) content(s)

[SaiBork]

Hi, I would very much like to see an option on the site to hide my bags or their contents for my characters.
I don't like for everyone to be able to see what items i have.

Do you think you will be robbed?

The fact is that bag contents change fairly often, at least until your character is high level. At that point you may (as I do) always carry a complete set of spare armour + reagents and potions that rarely, if ever change.

I fail to see why you would want to hade you bag contents. Most of us want to be able to show our BANK contents!.

More of your information will be hideable and showable (in the case of banks) through checkboxes in your profile (as you can do now with money and talents). I'm not sure when that will happen because they're working their way down the to-do list but it is planned.

Hi,

That is indeed an option we are keeping in mind. Though we still have to decide how we are going to solve this. It might be like Elly said that more options will become available as checkboxes in your profile.

Another option is a checkbox in the Client which you could use to indicate that you do not want to upload that information. After all why stress the server with your Inventory data if you don't want anybody to see it anyway.

Well, as The First Seen By only picks up the item if you are wearing it or if it is in your bag, then uploading it (and bank data) seems a good idea to me.

Hi,

Well this isn't completely correct anymore. A few versions back I changed the way items are being logged by the LUA Mod. Base Item Info are now being logged when you see an item in a Loot Window, when you see an Item in a Merchant Window, When an Item is somehow on your Character in any way ( Inventory / Equipment ). By now Base Item Info is also being logged when an item is shown as a Quest Reward.

This means that the Base Item Info is also processed by the upload client seperately from a characters Inventory or Equipment. Lest say you find a brand new Item which isn't in our Database yet, and you have the item in your character's inventory. The Client will parse the LUA file and generate Base Item Info for all the items, and additionally some Inventoy Item Info. What I was suggesting is not to upload the Inventory Item Info, but still upload the Base Item Info.

So actually if you wouldn't upload your Inventory / Equipment / Bank information for any of your characters, the Base Item Info for each item in your Inventory / Equipment / Bank would still be processed and uploaded. Only the link between what is in your actual inventory and the Base Item Info wouldn't get uploaded.

I know this might sound a bit complex, but it isn't all that easy to describe how the system currently works though :-P But when you upload your data, have a look at the Progress Dialog. You will see that you first see the progress of all Base Item Info being uploaded ( this will always be enabled ) and at a later point you will see Character Inventory being processed. The flag I mentioned would disable the Character Inventory being processed but not the Base Item Info.

Hope this is clear enough :-)
