EA+OB Feedback - Inventory & Stash Management

After 2 weekends with 4 characters, here is some feedback across a few topics spread across separate posts

MOST IMPORTANT / MUST CHANGE

  1. Gems need to come out of inventory and be handled like gold and crafting items. It takes up too much space in inventory, and there is no reason to inspect each item like a sword or helm as the attributes of each gem of a given grade are the same.

  2. The stash needs to be substantially changed. Starting with 1 stash tab, no manual arrangement, no auto-sort on the stash itself, and 100K gold to get a second tab is a just unacceptable.

  • At least start with 1 private tab and 1 shared tab… have to at least be able to separate stuff I am keeping for the character in play vs stuff I intend to share among my characters

  • Manual organization still helps each player organize stuff in whatever manner the need arises throughout gameplay. This really is essential. (sometimes I sort by elemental effect, sometimes by rarity, etc.). I suppose an alternative option would be to give the auto-sort more options for what to sort by.

** OTHER FEEDBACK**

  1. the auto-sort is a nice feature, I would like to have it on the stash in addition to the inventory. I would also like to see additional “sort by” options… element, rarity, item power, etc.)

  2. On a positive note, having all the items be the same size does make it easier in some ways… I don’t feel like I am playing Tetris now :slight_smile: (although strangely that felt like its own mini game at times)

  • However, it does make it a little more challenging to see what everything is when playing on console and you are sitting a decent distance from the TV…. Maybe add some icons in the corner for the item type?
    • Add an indicator on the thumbnails for which items have class skill bonuses

Would probably be better to treat gems like consummables, quest items, and attunements. Have their own separate tab in the inventory. Rather than totalled like gold (with multiple different qualities of gems, the list would get long).

That would be ok too. I was envisioning a table that had the rarities listed in each row and the gem type in each column. Either way, just get it out of the space needed for all the wearable items. 6 gem types at only 5 grades each is 30 slots.
