Too much stuff, not enough space!

FrostFallFox

Take my money, Zenimax! I'll pay all the monies to upgrade from 240 bank space to 300!

So many new things added and I'm just over here with thousands of flowers in my inventory now replaced with some kind of silver brain jelly and dragon toes.

Is this just a FWP or an L2P issue? :0

Are you using all 8 Character slots? If not, make a bank ALT. Many players have them.

Crap design issue.

GreenGhostMan

as more content is released, bank space should increase as well. Here's more stuff you can get, but keep it in the same space as before.

The only solution, we all know but Gidorick puts it nicely with...

ESO has to be the worst MMO ever when it comes to inventory management. You have to use your alts as storage - outrageous! - and even using addons you still spend a stupid amount of time shuffling stuff back and forth between alts.

Many believe it was intended to encourage players to join guilds with their lovely big storage but if something as basic as inventory is this ridiculously annoying, people just don't play.

I've said time and time again: mule alts is a design exploit that ZOS shouldn't be expecting us to use.

It's not an appropriate answer.

Many have complained about this situation going back to beta. But to be fair istateres is offering practical advice. It is a horrible, painful and stupid solution. But it's also really the only answer presently.

Crafting bags, please!

Players should have started out with 30 more slots before upgrading. This would allow players to spread out their horse upgrades at the beginning as well. I know i put everything in bag space for my first 20 horse upgrades due to not having enough bank inventory slots. Really is horrible due to how many mats are actually in the game. Worst i have seen in a MMO ever, really is annoying and the reason i quit almost every single MMO is the annoying things that add up. This is an easy fix too and should be implemented asap because too many players arent happy with this.

Superannoying lack of space,and altswitching/mulelogging is apparently a "feature" as I understand it....o.O

This! Why oh why do we not have this yet!

I don't get it.

ZOS should be happy with hoarders....

Usually they collects pets, mounts, costumes as well....
(crowns, crowns, ...)

So my advice to ZOS:
keep hoarders happy with more inventory

As some with 12 accounts, 3 personal Guild Banks, and a TON of Mules...I cannot wait for those ESO+ Bags!

We could only guess.

It was first mentioned ages ago and since it has the potential to actually make a bit of money if they eg. sell upgrades in the crown store, many are curious about the delay. This single problem was also one of the main reasons I stopped subscribing and playing back before it went B2P and that's probably true for a lot of other players. So it is fixing a longstanding critical game design flaw.

Maybe.... the stars aren't in the right alignment yet?

Agreed. I have my main, 2 alts I can actually play, and then 5 bank mules. I don't know what I would do without those bank mule alts.

Did you max your mules' bag space and get them a horse and max it's bag space?

Waseem

................. i got tired of that, searched online on g2g or whatever that website is. and bought the whole game client again (20$). now i have my main and an alt account for selling my stuff/banking. also. this made me able to overcome to issue of limited guilds (no need to bother with guild slot for a trade guild(s)

While the recent Collections mechanism is nice to keep our Quest Trophies, it is not a good substitute for more bag space. I have 4 Mules and 4 Mains. Most have 200 Bag Spaces, three have 170, and one is at 103 and the Bank is maxed. While I don't run out of space now, I do a lot of inventory shuffling. Crafting Bags will help a ton with this. But somehow, I don't think it will be enough, given how I used to hoard in pervious TES games. Yes, I would collect every book, an example of every weapon or armor, named soul gems when we had those, keys, jewelry, you name it.

Seraseth

I've never had a mule in any mmo before (and I've played like a dozen or more of them) until this game. Here I have 2 dedicated mules, and another 3 of my characters are temporary mules while I'm not actively playing them.

I thought that I was a hoarder (because I try to keep one of each Stibbons, Ravenswatch and other quest pieces) until I saw this post. I'm just a minor collector, as I've only got two mules with slightly expanded bag space and a couple horse inventory slots.

Worst inventory system of any game I have played.

SMH ... I have 1 VR 16 character who happens to be a crafter as well. I have plenty of bag space. Go sell something.

Yea....guild banks with their big storage, where anything you put in there can be taken.....by someone else (unless you own the guild and can lock it). Not the solution for stuff you want to keep.

Heh... I remember complaining about inventory/bank space in every single MMO I've ever played. Not to mention almost every computer RPG ever made (*especially* the Elder Scrolls games - inventory here is SO much better than any of the stand-alone games, IMHO...).

Inventory limitations are nothing new. Bank Alts are nothing new, either -- I've been using characters to hold items ever since playing the Kingdom of Drakkar on MPG-Net back in the mid-90s.

It is not, quite the contrary, the flaw, that there is too much clutter serving no purpose, only a) filling inventory and b) making actions in inventory tedious (note: even if you can store all the clutter), has been preserved, and its a) aspect monetized. ZOS's Monetization Department is, remarkably, better at identifying and addressing design issues than its game designers.

8 characters is not even enough.

we need a whole new revamped bank system.

Beardimus

This is my first MMO and really, I don't have a problem. Sure it has annoyed the hell out of me as I learnt the game so I made mule Alts, religiously upgraded my capacity on the horse, worked to get ten trusted mates together to form a small guild for the bank space, went on a gold farming mission to upgrade bag and bank spaces, joined trader guilds to sell things, made a thief to earn gold to fund it etc etc to me its an added element to the game. And besides I know If you use the spare accounts on your xbox you can create a personal Guild Bank just for you.

Dont get me wrong it has annoyed me at times, BUT if everyone could just pick up everything wouldn't that over saturate things, some things are meant to be worked at. And personally I've gained through making a guild, joining a trader guild (who I now PvP with), made a thief etc all due to inventory issues as I had zero intention of doing any of the above when I started.

I guess its how you look at it / outlook.
