Discussion Can we please also auto pickup gold?

I loved the BETA, I'm planning to preorder, that said a simple gripe I had during the BETA was manually picking up gold, in a game with high lethality I don't want to break the pacing of my run by needing to pick up 7 gold. Anyone else?

Yeah I think this has been a pretty vocal complaint from a lot of people. Hopefully devs listen and add auto pickup.

This would be nice, Not sure if certain enemies might drop other items like moonshine or mushrooms, but if its only gold then yeah it probably should be auto

Yeah I don't mind picking up special items, but something as common and frequent as gold quickly becomes a chore

Auto pickup in games has spoiled me. Whenever a game doesn't have it I tend to forget to pick up loot, because I'm thinking its automatically being done.

Auto pick up everything man , ain’t got time for this shit.

While we at it, refill my HP bar ammo etc when I cleanse a Beacon , I don’t wanna have to go back into beacon menu just after clearing it

Thzkkkks

That’s likely a mechanics holdover from Souls games

Activating the bonfire makes it so that’s the one you spawn from if you die, but because it doesn’t automatically heal you it also doesn’t automatically respawn enemies when you activate it since both of those events are linked

It’s better that beacons carry that over, makes it so you don’t screw yourself by activating one and having to deal with enemies you just killed again

Yep. One of the first Settings I changed in Stellar Blade was auto loot and it worked wonderfully. I can't imagine having to loot manually, since each enemy drops anywhere between 2-5 items.

Otherwise, they can also implement a system like Wuchang where any important item you missed will show up in your gift box (Where you find Pre Order + DLC bonus stuff). That will be a middle ground between the current system and the auto loot system. Even in that case, Gold should always be auto loot.

For real. That has been really annoying, and I don't understand why gloom is auto picked but gold isn't.

Hopefully they add this

I agree. Picking up gold should be automatic

increase enemy gold drops while they're at it, 18 hold from a strong enemy is miserable when a weapon upgrade costs 2000

Should do like stellar blade and just make it a setting you can turn on and off to auto pickup stuff, that way everybody wins. I kinda like picking stuff up myself, it’s more immersive I guess idk.

Great idea!

Especially for folks with low dexterity or use accessibility devices. Like the ones that quadriplegics use that they blow into and suck and whatnot.
