Suggestion: Suppress Catalysts

[Monos King]

So it really sucked before if you accidentally catalysted something you just spent time +5 boosting because it gets rid of all those boosters, or prevents you from boosting the enhancement if you hadn't boosted it at all. Now that both catalysts and boosters are instantly applied (which is an awesome convenience), there isn't even a way to prevent this from happening if you catch yourself in the act...essentially wasting all of your boosters or even the enhancement itself. Catalysts also aren't deletable. I would like the option to suppress catalysts so they don't show up in the enhancement screen and risk messing things up.

Sounds like a convenient suggestion, I support it - though I think you may have intended for this to be posted in the Suggestions & Feedback forum?

 

Edit: Ah, disregard you mentioned below that the +5 option is beta specific currently - fair enough, have at thee!

Wasn't sure if the booster changes had been moved to live yet haha

Have you tested this on Beta (I haven't)? I thought when it was being developed, there was logic that would prevent a catalyst from converting something that was boosted.

Yeah it happens on beta as of this comment.

I normally just store catalysts in the AH to avoid this.

Same, but this would be more convenient. You also might have other stuff stored in AH, or have an absurd amount of undeletable catalysts, so this would still be pretty useful as even a few catalysts rusk messing things up.

Late to the party, however, you could either sell that absurd level of Catalysts or you can send them all here for “deletion”: @Myrmidon.

I also have an absurd number of catalysts, and would be happy to increase the pile.

One could also sell the catalysts, and then buy back more when you need them. Sell high, buy low, and you'll even make a modest profit.

Base storage. New 50s should be able to catalyze whatever they need immediately, imo. Winteros, pvp ios, random level set ios you dont have an attuned version of...

It's almost always better to sell the catalyst and buy the attuned version of the random set IO off the auction. Don't waste a catalyst on anything other than an ATO or set IO that costs less than 20 million or so.

except when you have recipes to craft you want to keep but are odd levels! 😄

 

definitely a reason to catalyze winteros as soon as you hit 50, and to deal with the odd level self-crafted enhs you made, imo.

[Bionic_Flea]

I think that +ing an IO should block catalyzing it, just like catalyzing blocks +ing.  Make it the same both ways.  I can't think of a good reason not to. (except perhaps for some coding irregularity)

The windows that ask you to confirm whether you want to apply a Booster or Catalyst are separate from each other. You can skip the Booster confirmation window for instant application, and leave the Catalyst confirmation active to make sure you don't accidentally apply one.

Not sure what you mean. As of now, just clicking on either booster or Catalyst instantly applies them.

 

I noted this earlier, but as for everyone else's suggestions: Those methods surely exist and are being used, but every other means of storage can be easily exhausted, and thus is impossible or just a hassle to use solely for this. One might already be using their other storage means for other things. It's also just impractical compared to a feature like the one suggested. So I'd still like this to be considered.

Go to the settings and look for "Hide Enhancement Catalyst Prompt". Disable it. By default both options should show a dialog that you can then choose to hide.

 

/optionset HidePromptCatalyst 0 will probably work too but I haven't tested it.
