what are you saying bye to me about?

the devs just said on llamas stream they don’t want to change the game too much. just in small bits lol

I don’t agree with 18… Making more space on the inventory will have balance issues with the charms.

I agree with this, too. Charms are inherently powerful in that they offer increased bonuses passively. To expand this would be unbalancing the mechanics. If itr were a LIMITED space (like rings, amulets, etc.) then it might work, but it would need to be really limited considering some of the charms that are available and the bonuses they offer.

No, there have been like 3…

ALL of them have similar results…

it’s for controller compatibility imo

A poll on the D3 forums about D2:R? I don’t care what they think at all.

If they use the same system found in pd2 then it really wouldn’t be a major issue since it just gives players back their entire inventory with a identical sized one that only charms can stored in.

Doubling one’s inventory sounds like a major issue to me.

All things aside from the ways a public poll can be manipulated. 5000 is a pretty solid number to represent a population of well over a million people, but in this specific case the accuracy is not reliable.

Where’s the issue? One inventory can you hold charms and the other can hold anything but charms. It’s falls more under QoL changes than it does anything else.

The issue is if it conflicts with design direction, IMO/IMA

Charms are intended to conflict with inventory space because of the inherent bonuses they provide- if they intended everyone to get “free” bonuses (because essentially you’re not doing anything besides picking them up and holding onto them) by including another “tab” or “bag” or “area” for them, one would think they would have done it to begin with.

We are also talking about a game that stopped getting real updates over a decade ago. Who knows if a team dedicated to the game would think the same as you or even me for that matter. It’s like saying the reason why we didn’t have shared stashes was because the developers wanted people to make meaningful decisions on what they kept.
