Is there any inventory space expansion planned around FoA release?

Gnomish_Inquisition:

what i find bizzare is you completely, repeatedly, ignoring the mentions of the devs previously literally stating this as a matter of issue themselves
yes, it’s that simple, devs themselves have said there is issues with making these stash changes, and that there are potential bug conflicts they might not wanna risk
sure, with enough dev time and resources stuff could surely be ironed out, but that doesn’t minimize the initial complexity of the issue “the way GD works” and the greater potential issue for bugs/critical fail “the way GD works”, and thus the “simple” feature becomes a huge task/resource investment “to get it right”, while then still leaving enough tiny room on the table for a bad bug causing player items to go poof, then deemed not worth the risk.

it’s not so much us unnecessarily acting like lawyers for Crate, as it is just us utterly baffled when players casually reject them as if nothing/not a concern and a non-valid reason “when devs have stated similar technical issues before with expanding stash” as this topic pops up over the years…

if one needs a concrete example go back to the AoM days and look at the posts about a handful of people’s stash going poof after the stash changes/upgrade update

Okay, bad me. Please educate me. Provide sources of your mentioned devs statements. It is your argument, so support it. I’d like to see the exact wording they used. You do make it sound like a much greater challenge than I do, so please, let’s see how it sounded from the devs.

You can’t expect everyone who got tired of the stash limitations and come here to tell about it to investigate devs’ statements on the subject, consider potential technical issues of the increased stash, explain why they don’t use stash tools or that they don’t have specific mindset to truly enjoy the game with the limitations etc. Don’t be baffled that people just come here to express their experiences unprepared - it’s the most expected scenario.

And yes, it is not the players’ concern to do all that. Here is the FF feedback guideline from our lord and savior and I think it sums it up quite nicely. The points marked with bold are especially applicable for our debates.

Posting Feedback Tips

If you’re reading this, then you’re interested in doing your share to making Farthest Frontier the best it can be!

We appreciate all feedback and thought it may be helpful to share some advice on how best to post it:

Always respect our Forum Guidelines .

Please provide your personal gameplay experience rather than focusing on theorycrafting. Actual gameplay experience trumps theorycrafting any day and it offers us your unique perspective on the game.

Be concise. We try to read everything, but most of the time we’re doing so a few seconds at a time, so a short post that goes straight to the point is going to be much easier for us to parse than a lengthy essay.

We will not respond to every thread. There is a lot of you and only a few of us. If we spend time responding to every bit of feedback, then we’re not spending time actually developing the game. Don’t worry though, we’ll read and consider it!

Don’t be an asshole. At the end of the day, we’re gamers like you, and we have better things to do than get berated by strangers on the internet. Best case scenario, your post will get ripped apart by our sass department for everyone to enjoy, worst case we’ll just ignore you.

If you are not comfortable leaving your feedback in a public setting. You can use the Group Message system to message the dev team directly. Note that while we will read all feedback, we cannot respond to every message.

And perhaps most importantly of all, please remember to follow our forum etiquette:

We don’t need defending.
We read almost everything and we can take criticism. Criticism is Not going to suddenly make us flip our shit and change everything that we are doing with our games.

Not everyone is going to agree with you (or us) about the visual direction, the gameplay, the features, the animations.
That is perfectly ok. No game is going to please everybody. Trying to force upon somebody that the way our game is doing it is the best is only going to end in a circular argument of subjective opinions.

Just because somebody posts on the internet does not mean that you have to reply to it.
Someone post something that makes you really angry? Don’t answer. Or take some time to cool off and post in a mature and constructive manner later. Senseless back and forth internet arguments that are based purely on subjective or emotional responses are a waste of your time and ours.

Zantai invites players to express personal experience. He doesn’t need defending. The only requirement is to respect the forum guidelines and it says nothing about being aware of devs statements on technical limitations of the engine if they want to say their stash is too small.

So less gatekeeping would be appreciated.

I didn’t see anyone who asked for the stash enlargement casually rejecting the devs statements (which they didn’t even see, mind you). Nor were they disrespectful or dismissive towards beloved Crate. But I did see a share of lazily put arguments or lack of ability to comprehend what they are arguing against coming from the pro-limited stash crowd. It’s baffling too, you know.

YES!
