Should Eso plus offer a loyalty storage bonus?

mrskinskull

For each month you are subscribed you gain an extra storage slot similar to the horse storage.

I think many players would pay and then keep paying just to keep their accumulated storage.


Or it could be a lump sum like an ESO 20 slot plus.

Or maybe ESO plus members could gain access to a ESO plus bank vault at the bank vendor. It might be a personal sized guild bank for current subscribers.



What do you think?

Would that be a nice perk for those on the fence regarding subscriptions?

It would be a nice perk, the problem is what happens to the "stuff" in this storage slots when your subscription lapses?

People just need to stop sticking every piece of junk they find in the bank.

I have 240 bank slots but rarely go over 150/240

you must not craft much

The idea of adding any kind of extra perks to subscribing is IMO a good idea, mainly because it would attract more subscribes = more $/€ for Zeni = more content added more frequently.

But I'm afraid that adding more perks (and especially something like extra storage) would be seen by some as Pay2Win - even though these same people probably wouldn't mind it if they could buy slots in Crown Store.

Agreed. I am max level in all crafts, provisioning on more than one.. and, well, I'm a hoarder. I do try to sell off excess mats.. but running alts makes even the lower stuff useful.

I have 3 characters with 50 in all trades.

You only need the top tier mats for smithing/ww/cloth/chanting and the mats you actually use for prov/alchy

Or you can store a bunch of junk crafting mats with your junk items i guess

Between my bank and mules, I probably use about 450-500 slots of inventory space between crafting mats and armor sets.

Attaching additional bank slots per month for ESO+ may not be the best idea.
Once people start hitting the max number of added space, will they have to keep forking over money every month to keep them?
Where will extra items go if membership lapses? The mail?
If they're permanent, the perk becomes null after so long.

If I was offered 2000 Crowns instead of 1500, I'd take it.
It's a once a month only purchase, so not like players could just buy it just for the crowns whenever they want.
Or a bigger % for the progression. At least 20%.
But this is all imo.

What happens to your guild bank when your guild population drops below ten people?

You lose access until the requirements are met and then you regain access.

No.
The fact that the skyrim crowd enjoys hoarding could actually create a boom in ESO subs if a significant storage perk were attatched.

Some people have great bank discipline, but many do not.

Zos can make some subs while helping people to play their way.

Win win.

Not entirely. You can withdraw, but you can't deposit.

Horse training in storage is already there, why not expand on the concept?

Oak is correct in a way if you are very frugal you really have more than enough space to play and win the game.

The sub extra would really just be comfort hoarding.

Eriquito3

I think it should. Dcuo has something kind of similar. I think its a fair bonus

When you have a guild bank and membership drops below ten, you simply lose access. Once your membership rises you regain access.

Or we could always have a storage wars type auction, lol.

Either way there is precedent for such a situation.

Molag_Crow

That's a brilliant idea to be honest.

gimpdrb14_ESO

we need better perks for eso+ members

Audigy

Not a fan of unfair advantages for subscribers, there are some MMOs that do this and I really dislike it there.

Bank slots, char slots are a no go to me. It creates an imbalance between subscribers and those who only buy needful things in the shop.

A good ESO+ bonus is faster leveling, maybe even free char boosts - but anything else should stay out of it. ESO+ should be voluntarily and not a must to play this game. Imagine if we start with bank and char slots now, what will be next? ESO+ has access to specific quests, crafts, motifs ...

Oak already stated that he has access to more than enough space for everything but sweet, sweet hoarding.

I agree with him. Between alts and bank upgrades and guild bank I think you have what you need.

ESO plus should give what you want.

Slurg

We had a loyalty program and it ended in March when they switched to the current crown store payment model. I don't see them going back to the old model anytime soon.

Offering a small amount of bonus storage as part of the ESO+ package (for example 10 slots that become withdraw-only without an active sub) might fit with the current model though.

I agree. If they had dedicated crafting storage, similar to those little caskets/urns you receive once you complete a crafting writ, you could easily keep your bank capacity under 100 items. It's all I have in my bank other than a handful of trophies.

My motifs were all used the other day once I finally got my crafter to a decent level, so don't even need storage for those any more.

mrskinskull

I would really like to see a few tiny perks in this nature added to the ESO plus.

bareheiny

ESO Plus offers me nothing of use to be honest. I'm not concerned by the 10% exp gain and slightly reduced research time....and I'm a long, long way away from running the IC PvE content when it drops.

If there were more perks, I'd probably consider subbing permanently - rather than on the odd occasion when I need 1,500 Crowns for something (seeing as the sub is roughly the same price as 1,500 Crowns....it's a no-brainer to sub rather than just purchase the Crowns).

DCUO had a perk system - extra character slots (not sure that's so much of a perk in ESO), slightly expanded bank, no in-game cash cap (honestly....this would have to be THE primary reason for subbing) as well as a few other perks.

Sure, I could play DCUO without subbing...I could buy the DLCs on release....but really, it was more convenient to simply sub.


ESO doesn't have the same allure or compulsion. And honestly, I'm not inclined to pay for PS+ (especially as I only use it for ESO) and ESO Plus.


Bah...that's a lot of words with not much to say. So, in response to the OP - perks for subbing are a great idea, but they can't be game-breaking or cross the line into pay to win. Convenience and cosmetics seems to be the way to go.

OzJohnD

prefer two more toon slots

snackrat

One slot per month? 12 a year? That isn't much at all. (And it'd make that weird numbers annoying.) How about 5, maybe even 10? And is that something those who do not sub can purchase?

Avenias

U guys are just wasting ur money on eso plus. At least in other games when u sub, u get a ton of benefits that is actually worth ur money. Eso plus is just a way to milk hardcore fanboys who does not care about value for money and just pay for the sake of paying, or even better, to feel good that they are supporting the game.

Alucardo

Those who are saying bank slots are p2w and give you an advantage.. what? The OP isn't asking that subs get access to the "Sword of Chaos", granting the holder unlimited magicka, +5000 health/2000 regen. They are simply asking for more space to stash items.. most likely crafting materials. I think it's a great idea. Subscribers get access to a boost in crafting experience - that is more p2w than a few extra slots. Jesus.
Yeah, I'm all for this idea. My bank is full up and I can't afford to upgrade it at the moment unfortunately. Would definitely come in handy.

dday3six

10% increase in gained Experience, Inspiration, Trait Research, Gold and access to any DLC is enough. Between the bank and 8 characters there is more than enough bank space for those who want it, and it's getting increased with IC. The idea is not to hoard everything found.

Some players may want to. Remember that many ESO console players come from the skyrim school of filling the barrel with anything you find. I know I certainly did.

And you are correct in saying we have enough spaces for the game to function. That's why this idea is really just a convenience without hurting game balance.

I don't really notice 10 percent exp bonus difference. I just play until I level up. But I do notice when I waste valuable playing time trying to pack a stack of bananas for twenty minutes, lol.

Volkodav

I'd sure have a lot more spaces.Yes,I could buy them,but it would be much nicer if we were given them as loyalty rewards.Since they took those way to begin with.
