Due to the need to salvage so many items per rift in the late game, it’s easy to overlook an item you are salvaging before you inadvertently salvage and lose the item forever.
This feels especially terrible when, without realizing, you leave an item from a set you use in your inventory and accidentally salvage it. There is then no way to recover that item.
I think an elegant solution to save players frustration down the line is to introduce a different warning screen when salvaging an item that is used in any of your armory sets. The “Yes” button to proceed with salvaging would be greyed out while a 5 second timer ticks down. After 5 seconds, the “Yes” button would be clickable again and you can proceed with salvaging.
While yes, you can say “you be careful” or “just look at the item lol”, I think the current quantities of loot needed to salvage, and the often unpredictable nature in how items are swapped when switching armory sets, sets players up for failure in this realm, and accidentally salvaging an item you use, especially one with an augmentation on it, significantly increases the likelihood of a player quitting the season were this to happen to them. I also think this would give players peace of mind that they won’t be able to easily delete an item they spent a long time acquiring.
