Identify All Button

Wouldnt it be awesome to have an Identify All button somewhere in the inventory screen?
Tediously identifying all items one by one really becomes a chore pretty quickly.
The identify all button would check whether you have enough scrolls of wisdom to identify all items in your inventory, and if you have enough it would automatically identify all items and use up the scrolls of wisdom.

I definitely think this would be an awesome functionality.
You could even have this functionality as a cheap microtransaction, i would immediately buy it.

Me personaly. No, i dont like that. While would be handy. I think a NPC in town like cain would be my way to do it.

Nah. I don't like it..doing tedious things such as that is what keeps a ARPG's originality. Not to mention it makes more like D2.

As for Cain..about time he and his possessed Neice died.
It's like waking up for Christmas, going downstairs and all the gifts are unwrapped already. The IDing process is the unwrapping process and makes finding a good item so exciting. You'll find 50-100 versions of that base that are god awful, but every now and then it's incredible.

Now an ID gem....you have me on your side. I hate picking up scrolls >.<

Nah, an ID gem would be too strong, free identification in general would be too strong.
Scrolls of wisdom is money. As long as you have scrolls of wisdom, you can create more currency in this game.

Something like cain or an ID gem will probably never be implemented because it removes scrolls of wisdom as a currency, even though the developers deliberately are trying to incorporate a lot of recipes into the game that involve creating scrolls of wisdom.

The mechanic of identifying in D2 was bullshit. You went to cain and identified them all, they might aswell have removed the identifying mechanic all together.
Because of this, ID scrolls in D2 werent valuable or sought after at all.

In PoE the developers managed to make scrolls of wisdom valuable.
Its the basic currency with which you can create more currency, thus it is sought after and thats why it is benefical to introduce more recipes that create them.
Making this mechanic obsolete by introducing an ID gem would be going backwards on that one.
One might say that the portal gem is already violating this exact principle, but im assuming thats why they made the portal gem as inconvenient as they did.
It not only takes a few seconds to create the portal, but you cant even abort the animation.
If you start the animation and then are attacked by enemies, chance is you are gonna die because even though the animation isnt canceled, the portal still doesnt appear after the animation finishes.
I applaud the developers on the portal gem.

The change im proposing is more in line with convenience changes like being able to stash items faster by holding ctrl.
It wouldnt change scrolls of wisdoms´ value, but it would make it a lot more convenient to identify items.

The main issue i have with the current way of identifying items is how you always have to right click your scrolls of wisdom again before you can identify another item.
The same thing annoyed me when you had to reopen the vendor window to buy a currency, because you would have to reopen the window each time you bought a currency, but the developers made that more convenient.
Therefore another suggestion would be to make it so that the cursor stays as the identify cursor once you have right clicked a scrolls of wisdom stack, so that you can identify items without having to right click the wisdom stack again.
The cursor would become normal again if you right clicked somewhere on the screen instead of left clicking an unidentified item.


On a sidenote, they could still improve the vendor thing a little more.
Even though you dont have to reopen the buy window anymore, you still have to drag each currency one by one.
Could you maybe enable the buying of currencies by holding down ctrl?
As long as you hold down ctrl, each left click buys one more currency from the vendor.

Fair enough. good points.

Just wondering. I bet its been discusses. so i should search. But the buy n sell tabs being separate clicks when interacting with the npc? is there a problem having it as 2tabs on one page or something? Could just call it Barter or something.

I'm in favor of this, and I believe it's already been confirmed as a feature they're looking at.

Personally, I won't use it, but it'd be nice to have the option for somebody who would.
