It’s helpful only when a new series of gear comes in.
After that, when you have acquired every piece available, every day a pop-up telling you to select something which is not there, because you have everything when you extract, is at best annoying.
Maybe once per week if necessary? - or perhaps an algorithm that detects when you have got every piece of gear?
You do realise that, once you have extracted everything for the class you’re playing, you can select an item for another class in the loyalty bonus. At the bottom-left of the dialog there’s a drop-down list, which shows all the classes, pick one that’s not your current class, and select an item for that class. Your extractions will go towards unlocking that other class’s item.
Back in March, when we had less classes and items per class, I posted this thread…
…which showed that at the 100 extractions per week cap, it would take over 20 years to unlock all the essences for all the classes. I’d frankly be amazed if you have actually acquired every single essence for every single class.
Yes, change class and all the other essence become useless until you change again.
Imho it’s a mess an inventory for more than 1 character; i don’t think it’s so easy and/or funny continuous class changes and essence transfer to items, it’s just a waste of time.
Unfortunately, I know the three of us played D3, where it was all useable and functional in more ways than Immortal. But that’s due to the shared stash between classes, which I cannot see them ever implementing without major changes and potential lag issues, if anything like how D3 worked.
You’d then have every class where you have more than one character being able to see all the other classes materials in a single stash and people screaming for more stash space…etc…etc… I doubt it will happen.
There’s another topic about this, but the space isn’t a problem if you don’t use a single stash for all classes, every character has it’s own stash and the item “pass” from one to the other so you free space from one character while using the other stash; you can use something like the armory to share items, the armory isn’t extra space, it’s only a list to item’s links.
btw, we are OT!
