Bag full - exchange weapons - drops equipped weapon

[LostKnight]

Version 6.6.2 - Beta - Downloaded 13-04-2018 @ 20:??

My bag is full, I'm fighting Red Monsters, want to switch from a range 1 blade to a range 2 blade.

Next thing I see I have equipped the range 2 blade but dropped the range 1 blade.

Open my bag, PANIC FAST, scroll through to the 4th page that shows an empty space in the last space.
close bag - tap sword - it's in the bag.

OUCH!!!!

Does not happen if bag is not full, sword exchange properly.

This isn't entirely a bug - but partially.
The way the mechanics work currently, in some cases you have to open your pack to update it... logging should also fix it, and possibly a change of map as well (I've not tested this).
Think of when you're crafting at your house - you have a full load of mithril ore, you craft it into ingots. Now, if you try to craft those ingots into a mithril helmet, for example, it will tell you that you don't have enough ingots. If you exit the craft menu, and re-enter, it will work.

Now, your title is a little misleading - the game did not make you drop your equipped weapon.
This feature has been added to many things - including the storing of laden pets into your house.
If the game thinks there is not enough room, the items will come up as drops.
This is what happened in your case - you tried to add an item to a full pack, so it came up as a drop.
This is indeed a minor bug, and it may well be fixed (compbatant has expressed some interest in this area), but it is not a huge priority, so for now, just be careful.

I'm fighting Red Monsters, and want to switch weapons. Instead of switching my weapons it drops the one I was using leaving an empty space in my bag but equipping the new.

In the heat of battle, changing from range 1 to a range 2 weapon is something I have been doing for a while. Only today after updating to 6.6.2 have I seen this happen.

I'd say it's a BUG. Logging to exchange weapons isn't really an option or having to open close the bag a second time either.

Started with 6.6.2 update

Thing is, "switching weapons" was never actually supported.
You unequipped your sword, put it in your pack, then equipped your new sword.
The thing that's new - the overstuffing of packs is being fixed - so if your pack is full, this will happen every time.
The overstuffing of packs has always been a (or an abused) bug.
That is now fixed for most cases.
You cannot equip a weapon if you're holding one. So you have to remove the one you're holding first.
If you have no room in your pack, the bug of overstuffing no longer happens, and it appears as a drop.
This is intentional.

OH In that case: NOTED! TY

EDIT: NoteToSELF: Leave an empty space!

I made a workaround for this case. I hope it will work like before and also it shouldn't be abused...I hope

Thank you... I fail to see how it can be abused. Unless switching a weapon in PvP is a concern. In which case I wouldn't know.

TESTED with full pack. Works as advertised. AWESOME! Thank you compbatant!
