#please switch back to the old altered items / artefacts

Looting feels so incredibly boring and unrewarding when I enter a building that I've cleared only to come to the realisation that I have to stare at a shelf full of household items to see which ones flicker and which don't. It felt way better just taking a glance at a room to find which items are valuable and which aren't and sort my stuff in order to move on to the next encounter. The old models for the artefacts were completely fine the way they were. Imo you guys should just replace the models and keep the normal items in the spawn roster.

#

Like also with the constant darkness inside buildings it takes me like 4 seconds to tell wether an item is altered or not

i agree tbh, honestly if youre gonna have weird textured items AND differently modeled items, gameplay-wise, its easier to pick out the differently modeled item from regular ones, as opposed to the same model with a flickering texture

#

it makes more narrative sense for the way it is now, but it makes looting a bit more annoying

flickering items honestly feels like something that would make sense in ITR1 but that's mostly it

#

oh and like one more thing about the flickering items they vary in size so much they just clutter up the whole backpack and I can't see anything inside it unless i put them all in one spot

the new altered items definitely need something to be done to them

#

major step backwards from the old altered items

#

from a cool and weird design to a flickering texture

#

incredibly uninspired and boring to look at

i kinda prefer this change, but id go a step further than a simple flickering texture. Instead, have them sometimes visually warp for a brief moment. Edges become suddenly fuzzy, slowly grow, shrink, stretch of inflate/flatten before snapping back to normal.
I do find it kind of funny to now need to pause and intently stare at an object to confirm it's normal or not. There is meme possibilities here xP

#

Its possible something more is planned. If so, its better the effect is minor for the beta to ensure enough overhead for the effects and that other related systems under the hood are working.

yeah, i like the new altered item as well. I like that you have to inspect and figure out which of the mundane items are an actual altered one, making it more than just grabbing every bit of loot.

I would rather have the anomalous items stand out more from the regular items too. I like the change personally.

I dont even pick up but lightbulbs, wrenches, and sugar bowls. The rest is dead weight since they cant be attached to tabs anymore

Also having different types where they have different effects and textures would mix it up better

#

But they rushed it unfortunately

That would make it so much better

It had to be done tho

#

The tabs were super op

I could get used to the "differently textured" items as they are, I think my main problem is that some of the newly added items are way bigger than the items used to be, like teapots, books, and fuses

Quickly making my inventory a mess
