    In the miscellaneous changes, the “Bomb explosions no longer destroy any type of equipment, not just upgraded ones” entry is clumsily worded, what does it mean exactly?

    Can I still pile all my un-id’d weapons & armour in a pile and blow it up to leave the upgraded stuff?

    I find iding items the hardest part of managing inventory / progression, taking away this tool given the derth of id scrolls is a big nerf.

    Fucking ripper patch though. The new item interface menu and options are amazing 😍

      It’s definitely some weird wording, but yes, we’ve lost the ability to soft-ID upgraded equipment. That’s obvious by the first half of the sentence.

      Evan, consider using:

      Bomb explosions no longer destroy any equipment, upgraded or not.

      Simple and to the point. Clearly implies that bombs used to destroy some equipment, and that it’s upgrad status made a difference. Even people who never knew that trick will understand what it was.

      Why did you change this, though?

        Probably feels like balancing for always getting two guesses from a stone of intuition.
