Too many resource popups

[Nakti]

Prior to Railjack update only rare resources received separate popup in bottom left corner, and not even all. Other resources and pickups were listed as small lines in the bottom. In Railjack all resources have popup like they're "rare". On Cambion Drift many of new resources also have popups: both residues, all plant drops, the teroglobe. I'm not sure all of them can be considered "rare" and deserve separate popups.

Having these popups is very inconvenient. They stay too long on screen, use space and have sound when a new resource pops up. For really rare resources it was ok as it was not often, but on Railjack and Deimos resources drop almost constantly. It's also hard to track which resources are picked up. Popup stays long, and is prolonged even more when you pick up the same resource as is on screen. So if you are collecting many different resources, only one that was first is displayed. Next ones will be visible when you stop collecting first one. While normal resources are listed in lines - i think, up to 4 or 5 lines can be in one moment on screen - and they diappear faster. So yousee everything you pick up almost immediately (except Isolation Vault, but it still takes only few disapperances to see everything). Even if you are continuously getting one resource, you will see other pickups on other lines.

For example, when I'm collecting residues, if I accidentally pick up a plant, I will see residues only when I leave their zone as plant will hang long enough and is sometimes refreshed with new pickups.

DE, please reconsider you desision to mark new resources all "rare". They are not really rare, some of them are very common drops on Drift or in Railjack missions.

Did other updates that introduce new recources have same issue at the beginning? I started only a year ago so I coudn't see initial states of open worlds, for example.

Not that I can recall.

 

I would be quite alright with this level of popups, if it was automatically toned down after a week. I am certainly more interested in knowing what new mats I get than the old ones. So there is some value in it. I do agree that it seems a little overdone.

• Like many things, it would be handy if we could define the materials we wanted to show up there.

This sounds great! Railjack showed us that it's not the case, but if DE implements is like that, it would be much more convenient. However there always will be players for whom any moment will be "first week" as new players constantly flow into the game...

Sound like the best solution. I think it'd be difficult both to implement and to use (there are very much different resources/drops), but it would raise overall happiness. However, DE will still have to tune defaults to fit majority of players (if that's ever possible, lol) so that customizations will be minimal.

It's even worse when you are mining, the gems pops up (while flashing) in the middle of the screen. Flashing is not quite at a epilepsy warning level but you may get an headache from looking directly at it.
