New Change to Bag Slots?

It appears that for me, and another friend, not all bag slots start at the far left when you open it (as they used to for every bag you opened), but as you choose bags further to the right, the slots open further to the right. Has anyone else noticed this yet? I saw some text when I teleported earlier today that said something like, "What happened to your bag slots?" or something, and since then, they've been this way.

If it's a purposeful change, I really dislike it. It doesn't really make much sense to me or my brain. It looked so much neater when they all started to the far left above your inventory slots. Now I feel like I'm missing bag slots and have to look further over to find what I'm looking for, especially as I get to the bags further to my right. It feels a little disconcerting and disorganized and just plain weird.

If they were all centered properly, it'd probably not be as bothersome to get used them not opening to the leftmost side anymore, so long as all the slots showed up in the same spot (and I repeat, centered). But now I have to readjust my thinking for every bag I open because they aren't uniform. >.<

  • +1 LMG.  I have noticed the change too and find it annoying :)

  • I have one bag doing that, too! It's in the middle of my main inventory, so I thought it was just changed for its location there. It is very confusing, though.

  • + 1 I refreshed several times thinking it was a problem with FF or something. Now I see that it seems to be an issue for several folks. It is very disconcerting and well, odd. I hope they re-align the slots so they line up on the left again.

  • There's enough room now for a bigger-er bag, or perhaps a belt that holds bags?

  • I have the same thing.  the bags farther to the right open with their slots mis-aligned.

  • Even if it is setting it up for a new, larger style bag, I'd think they could still have bag slots align from the left automatically, regardless of bag style.

    But nice to know that it seems to be an actual change that several have noticed. And I would love it if it were foreshadowing even bigger bags (though the 16-slot ones do me just fine, at least for regular inventory).

  • I noticed that, too. I can live with it, but I'd REALLY appreciate being able to better sort my bags. The disorganization kills me!

  • Yeah it confused me at first and it makes much more sense to keep the slots under the game window instead of having most of them under the chat for the bags on the right.

  • Me too.

  • It is set so it tries to center the contents of the bag as close to above it as possible.

    Threw me at first but now I like it. Visually, there is more connection between the bag and what's in it.

  • You know what might be cool? Having a little pop-up bubble that shows the 16 contents of the bag when you hover over it with your cursor.

  • OMG - I saw that last night when I logged in and thought my dinner (burp!) was catching up with me!  And it was still that way this morning.  I have never seen it before - thank you !  I thought it was just me, and I was afraid to say something.  I guess I can get used to it, though (as long as they don't suddenly change it again).

  • *raises hand* - count me in the group who really dislike the new bag contents positioning.

    When the 'ends' of the bags don't align, it confuses my brain as I flick between bags. I see a space at the end of one bag where there was an item in the previous bag and I subconsciously think that that means the bag isn't full - whereas what it actually means is just that the two bags don't align.

    Maybe it's a precursor to some larger future change in inventory management. But right now it makes it harder to gauge at a glance what's going on in a bag. Do not like.
