Suggestion: quickslot/hotbar and 'active item'

A small new update is available now!
Unfortunately the forums, server list and report tool were offline last night due to technical issues. Sorry for the inconvenience! It should be working again.
However, unfortunately the Standalone update is temporarily not available. We expect it to be fixed in a couple of hours. Please let me know if you want to get a Steam key instead!

    At the risk of spamming the forum with suggestions (:)), is there any point in showing the 'active item' at top right if the quickslot bar is set to permanently visible (ie not autohide) as there's already an indicator on the bar itself so it's just duplication? Or is there some other case I'm missing where it's necessary/useful?

    Basically the 'active item' indeed does not show any additional information, so if the quickslots are always visible, it's indeed a duplication :D However, there is still a use case for it: The new version allows you to equip any item from your inventory directly (either by pressing the mouse wheel while hovering an item, or by rightclicking on it -> equip), so the currently equipped item isn't necessarily in the quickslots^^ The 'active item' in the top right corner is the only way to see the item in this case.


    Other than that, I'm not sure if it's really useful at all (at least if quickslots are set to permanently visible)... but there is a setting to hide the 'active item' - it's "HUD: Show Selected Item" in the Misc settings :)

    Ah, I didn't know that.

    ...and I hadn't spotted that either :D Ooops
