D4 must have a “Lock” option on items

Dear D4 Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. As an avid player of D4, I am writing to provide some feedback on items management in the game, particularly regarding the protection of our hard-earned rare items.

As you know, D4 places a strong emphasis on obtaining best-in-slot (BIS) items. While this aspect of the game is exciting and rewarding, the current system lacks an option to lock items, which has led to instances where players have accidentally sold or salvaged their valuable items,although you can buy it back after selling it, but you can’t get it back after salvaging it. (By the way, I would like to say that re-buying is good game design, which reflects that the developers are attentive and have the players in mind).

To address this issue, I would like to suggest the implementation of an item lock feature, similar to the one in Destiny 2. This would allow players to mark certain items they want to keep as locked, preventing them from being accidentally sold or salvaged.

Simply put, this approach is the exact opposite of the current“mark as junk” approach.We mark some items(even on character)as locked and sell all others,this would give players an extra layer of security for their most prized items and maybe is safer and faster than the current “mark as junk” approach,since selling,salvaging and equipping are all done by the same right mouth click and at least 95% of the items dropped from mobs is of little use to the players(if i could say this) so we need to focus on the other few 5% especially.

In my opinion, the addition of an item lock system would significantly enhance the quality of life in D4, making it an even more engaging and enjoyable experience. I hope you will consider this suggestion and continue to improve the game based on players’ feedback.

Thank you for creating such an enthralling game. I eagerly await your response and look forward to contributing further feedback to help make D4 the best it can be.

Sincerely,
an avid player of D4:)

I feel like this is a very necessary feature for the more dedicated players.
You should be able to lock/favourite the items. Very similar to the way it has been implemented in “Terraria” for example.

  • Prevent the player from dropping the item.
  • Prevent the player from Salvaging/Selling the item.
  • Make the item stand out in the inventory.

Plenty of times I caught myself salvaging a rare item that I would have used as an upgrade for my build however one misclick and the item is gone.

I’ve been also experimenting with a few builds where I’ve been swapping armours and weapons on the go depending on my situation. Having that feature implemented would make this process far more pleasant.

I understand that you could technically achieve this by marking items as junk however that is a very backwards way of going around it and it still doesn’t prevent players from accidentally getting rid of their favourite gear. Having both Junk and Lock/Favourite would be the way to go.
