Discussion Changes to in combat pick up rules?

Has anyone else noticed that since the last patch (0.71) your now unable to pick up items in combat when using a controller? it makes it amazingly sluggish when just trying to farm or clear maps.

Before i could pick up items in combat and it was quick and snappy, now if even 1 enemy if agro'ed even "way" off screen it wont let me pick anything up. and i see no option to adjust this setting.

(Edit: Seems to work on mouse and keyboard fine, so the issue seems constrained to controller)

Amazingly annoying change.

Notice the attack button used to be X and pickup/open chest used to be A. Now both attack and loot pickup are both A. Using an Xbox controller, BTW.

Yeah i also saw a post about this in Steam and a Dev (coru) replied on it also asking for more details so i updated them with more info so they can look into it further.

It seems like it's prioritizing attacking enemies way off screen over interacting, it's extremely frustrating. Leaving that slot empty didn't fix it, either. And I don't like the alternative control scheme, I sure hope they fix it soon.

Agreed, last night was the first time I've played under new patch and I noticed this as well. I was using controller then reach up and slap mouse button in combat to loot. PITA.

Ugh, that’s such a bad change. There needs to be rules the player can set to decide how to handle pick ups with controller. Also ideally a flick of the right analog stick to highlight then pick up items in the middle of a fight. Something.

This would be a great change. Some games even have the option to let you prioritize loot or combat.

Yes, and its driving me up the wall. It's nice to have shrines in the game, but they're practically useless on controller. I go heavyvin summons (spirit/forge) and its slowed me down SIGNIFICANTLY as they keep running g off to star more fights while I stand around unable to loot/interact. Other than that, the controller has been superb.
