Which involves player self control and I know for a fact that regardless of the problems further down the line with a massive stash, for me, it ends up a massive pile of crap.
This is I think the main problem with people that want, and can happily manage, a massive / unlimited storage, they cannot understand / grasp that it simply doesn’t work for everyone, as not everyone has the self control to not keep everything “just in case it comes in handy” and that without a limited stash space, it will become a complete mess that does put people off from playing.
Basically… Yes it might be wonderful for YOU, but it doesn’t suit everyone and can result in putting players off over time as their stash become more and more filled with possibly useful crap.
Another problem with infinite stash can be when you use mods. For example in TQIT/AER I play the Legion of Champions mod which has a lot of different/altered items from the base game. So my TQVault not only has vaults for the base game stuff, but also separate duplicate named ones for LoC so I can keep those items separate to help find them more easily. And then there’s another Vault that’s just collecting the new Ragnarök expansion items.
Just because you don’t like to play with a large amount of storage space doesn’t mean you get to speak for everyone how playing with a large amount of storage will affect their game play.
Nowhere in my post did I say infinite storage. I said increasing tabs with a system that could give you as many tabs as you could split stacks of an item. Ctrl-Click. Far from infinite storage space. I put the 1-999 for those who want huge extra space, but even that is not infinite.
Tell us again how you know best how to play GD or any other game with a large amount of storage space. Just because you find it difficult to play with large storage space or do not like it does not mean that will apply to all players.
Well if they charged it as a DLC for more storage, those who don’t like or want it don’t have to purchase it. Even if they gave us 20-99 total tabs of shared storage, if you don’t like having that extra storage you don’t have to use it.
Pretty sure on the day that Crate has decided to sell storage space as DLC’S, there will be hundreds of posts in the forum condemning Crate for being greedy and lazy at the same time.
I do also hope that Crate can give us a lot more stash space, but I understand where Crate is coming from, so I’ll advocate their philosophy because I am actually using GDIA myself, and am very grateful for that program so it doesn’t really bother me that much. However, it does leave me a bit of regret that I have to use a 3rd party program.
Pretty much this. Crate has spent the past 8+ years building up a community that stops in to write in the Misadventures and news announcements on Steam and tell 'em how much they love em. All that will be gone in about 0.1 seconds the moment Crate releases a “stash dlc” for money in their offline, fully moddable game that has several infinite stash tools freely available.
It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to see how Zantai and company would die alone and broke on the street after that fateful decision.
Thank you for such a perfect quote, see how it applies BOTH ways, especially when as stated this is my personal view of my playing and not once have I claimed that I speak for ANYONE ELSE other than myself. Twisting people comments so that you can attempt to run them down, really is most spectacular when it fails so obviously.
This is just amazing. You prove my point and shoot yourself in the foot with every comment you make as I specifically stated that this was my PERSONAL VIEW ONLY. You are the one claiming that your view is the one for everyone else.
Personally I don’t need more space, but would go nuts over a way to manage what I currently have. Oh how sweet it would be to filter by level or to find-out how many copies I have of a particular item across toons.
Pretty sure mods can add stash tabs, unless someone can prove me wrong. And even then, there’s already programs with infinite stashes.
Starting to sell stash tabs would probably be the absolute worst thing Crate could do, besides making the game online only and adding overpriced microtransactions.
For it to be possible, the file format would need to be flexible enough to store the extra pages based on however you defined them (or you would need to be able to add mod stuff in there) and you would need to change the UI to show the additional pages. As no mod has done that yet, I assume it is impossible.
I don’t know. With all the Crate fanboys that have been here so long I don’t think there is much of anything Crate could do to put them off Grim Dawn.
I don’t speak for everyone else. What I am suggesting is something that would be completely optional to use. I am saying that 5 tabs in the shared stash is far too few for a shared stash that can be played across so many created characters and should not have to rely on third party software or many mule characters. I don’t even know what the max cap is for number of allowed existing characters on an account. Five shared stash tabs for potentially all those legendary items and sets across potentially so many characters? Come on!
Just find a way to give more shared stash space (maybe as little as 15 tabs, maybe 20, maybe 25, maybe 50, maybe CTRL-Click to select from 1-99 tabs like splitting stacks of an inventory item.) And if it is added to the game, you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. It would be completely optional for anyone to use. No one would have to use all the extra space. They currently have the additional stash tabs locked behind a purchase of iron bits and that should stay the same for adding more. If you don’t want to use the extra space you don’t have to open the tabs. It’s completely optional. Not mandatory. Anyone that may want to use it, could use it. Nothing I am suggesting they add would be mandatory to play Grim Dawn or level any character. It is an optional QoL inventory improvement.
I don’t get how having the bigger stash in POE somehow made you have to use it? Why is it mandatory that you use it? Were you one of those kids that just couldn’t learn not to touch a hot stove?
Just. Don’t. Use. It. If. You. Don’t. Like. It. How hard is that to understand? Optional does not equal mandatory.
You are in the camp of wanting to play with less space. Fine. I am in the camp that would like to see more space than a paltry 5 tabs without having to resort to third party software or mules. Here’s the thing. As the shared stash is now, only your style is covered. If more tabs were offered my style would be covered and your style would still be covered because you would not have to use them. See how that works? An increased shared stash is an optional storage concept. I’m not saying everyone has to play with bigger storage space. I am asking for it to be there as an option for anyone who wishes to use it. You most certainly don’t have to use any extra shared stash space that may be put into the game.
It’s like all the abilities in all the skill trees for all the classes. I don’t have to use them all, but yet there they are. Can be used in different builds. No one has to make all the builds if they don’t want to. You build what you want and you use what you want. Just like if they increased the shared stash size. Anyone can use it, if they want to use it.
For those who truly want literal unlimited storage, well they would have to hit up the third party software for that. I mean come on, unlimited? :rolleyes:
Well it’s completely obvious that you simple don’t/cannot understand what I’m saying and Medierra have said in the past, so there’s no point going round and round in circles here.
We both have different views, which is cool, and best to leave it at that.
Trust me, there would be an huge backslash from fans and most likely from people outside of the fanbase when they would heard word of this. I would absolutely hate it myself.
It would make Crate look greedy as hell when you basically have free, unlimited stash with GDstash.
Well it’s seems that I am reviving an old corpse here. But can we have like an option in the game for those like me who wish a bigger inventory space to be part of the game? I mean you can make the extra tabs very expensive, like one or ten million of IRON, so hoarders could feel less compelled to trow everything in there without thinking. Or you could make a rare item that drops off Nemesis Bosses who adds an extra tab to the Shared storage.
My guess since I’m not a programmer/designer is that something like that would then mean you couldn’t play with others who don’t have the same increased stash size since the game versions would be different. 3rd party tools don’t interfere with the game in that way. But as said, that’s just a guess on my part.
