{Don't you want money?} Why are you not selling character slots & stash tabs?

GGG also made PoE Mobile.

And now they issue new sets. Nowhere to put them.
No storage to play seasons.
Need more stash! Been asking for years.

It was that and they said it also negatively impacts server performance. They tried giving us more stash tabs a few seasons ago, but they stated it caused a lot of issues

I don’t know if that’s just an excuse and they don’t care or if it’s an actual problem. It’s on us to believe them or not I guess

But I thought China could buy stash tabs and character slots?

So I am not 100% sure I buy their reasoning if the above is true.

IIRC - China starts off with 1 Stash Tab and 2 Char slots.

I don’t know the real numbers, but I believe they have to pay for what we get free, like the barbarian and Act 3.

I really do not care, the bottom line is if their servers handle extra inventory and character slots, no reason ours would not as well!

There is a max they can buy up to. The only thing they have extra is the shop for cosmetics. They can buy a lot of different wings and such

As Kindran said, they have the same max we do. They just have to buy them separately where as ours some with the game/seasons.

From what they said, when you enter a game all your tabs are loaded into memory along with the tabs from whoever else enters the game. With 4 players in a game, potentially 52 full tabs can be loaded into memory. While nothing happens with 52 full tabs loaded into memory, 56 tabs would cause the game to crash, the internet to catch fire, and the ruination of all mankind, so they won’t give us anymore tabs.

A good solution would be to have 8 general tabs available to all your characters and 5 class specific tabs. This would give a potential total of 43 tabs, but only 13 would be loaded when enter the game, since the Barb class specific tabs would be tied to your Barbarians, Dh class specific tabs would be tied to your DH, so on and so forth.

Ok I get it, the “stash tab issue” has a can’t do, won’t do, not worth it attitude…

What about character slots? Why can’t I have another 7+ seasonal and maybe bunch of hardcore ones if I do feel like it?

I’m thankful for my system that I put together. I usually have 3 empty tabs available, and maybe up to 5 if I condense things.

Most of the class respective gear is stored on the class character its for. If I want to play a specific character, I load it up, dump their stored gear into one of my empty tabs and play. I only have one full set of the best version for each potion, and only one set of high leveled legendary gems. I slot those gems and a potion whenever I pick a character and remove them when done. Same with follower gear. I have a top set for each follower with their optional choices and swap that gear when I load a character, etc.

That way I don’t have multiple legendary gems taking up space, multiple potions, or multiple anything else.

I don’t keep any non-class specific gear unless its GG or Ancient or better, any rings that don’t have a socket, can’t be rolled to work, or non-ancient or no legendary power, etc.

I would say if I had multiples of anything, it would be of a few amulets, a few belts, few rings, etc, that can be useful for different classes. Things I have the most of are goblin rings and cow pikes. I have a character inventory full and nearly a stash tab full. (I need to use those in the stash up one of these days)

But overall, I don’t keep anything that isn’t good to either be already ancient, usable by any class, or doesn’t have a power or stat that helps a build. Other than one character that has a bunch of legacy pre-RoS gear that you cannot find anymore. More for nostalgia than anything else though.

But honestly, its about how you manage your gear. Those that have issues with this, or don’t know what they should or shouldn’t keep are going to have space issues.

Game on.

  • how many classes do you play?
  • how many sets (per class) do you have?
  • are you playing HC or SC?

All of them.

Nearly all of them. I will admit to not having all the newer sets that were released lately, but I have room for them all and their supporting pieces without changing much.

Both, though I play SC much more. I will admit, a player that does a lot more HC than I do may have less room than the rest due to the need to keep spares around in case of an untimely death. Even at that, I’m sure I would still have a tab or 2 free potentially.

Technically you could have found most of this out simply looking at my profile. I have multiples of each class, and while I usually only play one class during a season, I still have the others that I play non-season when I want to do something different.

Plan to play WD this next season, try out the new set for it and see what happens.

And even though I store class gear on the class respective characters, most of them see aren’t completely full. Two sets of gear are ON the two characters, the rest is in their inventory. Now the Necro I have only one character in SC, so 1 tab in my stash is used for the extra Necro gear. And the DH is my main class, so I have 1 tab for them for some extra stuff. But that’s usually because one is ready to play at all times. I could unload the stash tab into both DHers and be good.

Anyway.

It works for me. It may not work for everyone.

but Diablo imm is a casual mobile game for who likes to play mobile games while are in the toilet, I mean selling useful/cool stuff in THIS game, just like PoE does (selling some cosmetics/pets/stash tabs for $$ would be rlly dope) i dont care about dumb mobile games, i only play on pc

In case i have to point it out… It was a sarcasm…

As i said in another thread, blizz can simply squeeze 2 “box” items in 1 box like rings. It could save a lot of space and the strain on server is the same as now.

Hmm… not sure if that’s the best solution

Within this thread, the theme i’ve noticed is:

  • put X items in one tab
  • put Y items in another tab
  • use mules when it doesn’t fit

(I question the logic of anyone that says “we have enough tabs” yet uses mules.)

Overall, I believe that the Stash space (+ Armory) needs a complete overhaul.
I have no faith that this will occur in D3
I really hope they improve it in D4.

(D4) “One slot per item for all items” might make an improved UI easier to do.
This might allow lists and groupings to be a viable alternate view to the current grid style.

I think the best solution is not to have space limitations in a game which evolves around the itemization.

On release the endgame was browsing RMAH
Now the endgame is managing your stash space

How about an “endgame” which involves playing & enjoying the actual game?
I thought the name of the game was “B. Entertainment” not “we get entertained by your frustrations”…

I do have ideas regarding this issue which can easily be implemented in D4. But that’s better saved for another topic…

:joy: :joy:ahhh ok hahaha thanks for pointing it out, I forgive you anyways :smirk: :smirk:
