When ESO was released on PC and console the various inventory sizes seemingly made sense. Who could imagine that - even with a full 500 person guild - we'd fill up a 500 space guild bank? Having 240 personal bank slots (eventually 480 for ESO+) seemed entirely reasonable for our 1/2/3 characters, especially with the 200 slots per character inventory! And there was no way anyone would actually need all five guild slots. When they added the home storage (4× 60 large storage + 4× 30 small storage) that additional 360 personal bank-like slots seemed like a godsend.

Fast forward 4.75 and 3.5 years (for PC and console, respectively), however, and most people will agree that the amount of space we have for all of the above is categorically not enough.

In a 500 person guild - which, realistically, has an active count of closer to half of that - it is unbelievably easy to chomp away at those slots. During events, all it takes is each person depositing an extra runebox and motif and your guild bank is doneso; suddenly the Officers are playing the inventory management mini-game as they decide what stays and what goes.

Assuming you're an ESO+ subscriber, those 480 personal bank slots are devoured even faster, particularly the more characters you create. I have 13 characters (and if the Necromancer hype is real, will soon have 15); trying to bank 6 sets of AY, 6 sets of Relequen, 5 sets of Siroria, 5 sets of Spell Strat, etc, as I build the sets, hurts real quick. That's ignoring things like extra food, pieces of other sets that aren't "meta" but are still juicy (e.g. daggers of VO), Crown XP scrolls that I do not currently need, spare Soul Gems/lockpicks that are there for needy characters to grab in a pinch, the plethora of perfect trait Monster heads & shoulders that I've pulled from spending my 382109371289371298 keys in trying to get the one shoulder I need or things like Monster Shoulder Style Pages, the dozens of trophies we can collect (e.g. Arena Gladiator's Proofs, Motif Fragments, Key Fragments, Psijic Ambrosia pages), etc, etc, etc. I cannot begin to imagine how non-ESO+ subscribers survive the great bank drought of 2E. I realize some people have mules but I, like, play my characters.

Sure, eventually you move the sets onto the actual characters, but their personal inventory space is just as limited! For example, my main has a PVE set-up, a PVP set-up, and a Werewolf specific set-up which - by themselves - take up 42 spaces and I am still collecting pieces of some sets. When you add his necessary food, potions, repair kits, Soul Gems, lockpicks, and things like Surveys which have accumulated over a couple days, he usually sits at a minimum base inventory of 100/200. That's of course after I moved the half-dozen old, legendary sets like Morag Tong and Sunderflame into home chests when they were nerfed. I also have niche sets like War Machine sitting in a home chest so that I only grab them when needed, because I simply do not have the space to carry them around. My Vet content (and occasional PVP) Healer does hold all of his gear, which includes 5 Monster Sets, 9 full gear sets, 3 piece-meal gear sets, and 3 Resto staff only sets. I avoid his inventory when at all possible. It hurts the precious.

At least though, when the inventory management mini-game is absolutely wrecking your day, you know you have a plethora of guilds to fall back on to make everything better. Oh wait. I have my 2× social and casual content guilds, my Trading guild, my PVP guild, and my Trials guild. Want an extra Trading guild? Drop one of the above. Found an extra Trial guild, which has some runs that could fit your schedule but you don't want to abandon your current one? Drop one of the above. Found two amazing PVP guilds, that run on different nights? Drop one of the above. I never imagined that 5 guild slots wouldn't be enough but 5 guild slots is not enough.

Even though the current bank and inventory upgrades already cost 750k+, I would happily pay additional shinies towards this endeavor of more. I don't think it should be a "subscriber" thing, beyond us getting the extra bank slots we already get, however, I will gladly pay outright Crowns for any and all of the above more. I will submit videos of my cat doing cute things, or of my cat attempting to stalk and eat my smaller dog (if that's what you're into ZOS), for more. Cicero Valerius, with all of his twirly mustachio glory, will do the Redguard dance in the lavender Whisperweft Gala Wear for more.

More. Please give us more ZOS. Please.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Agreed. It would be nice if they doubled housing slots as well.

bri5

Yes, please!

Giraffon

I agree. We need more. They keep introducing new elements in the game such as craft materials, set gear, and collectibles, but give no additional space for them.

I have long argued for two things:

10 additional bank and pack slots each time a DLC or Chapter is released

OR

Unlimited bank or pack space at the price of 100 crowns per slot.

tamrielwinner

i wonder if there are constraints in the systems on their end of things.

ArielleJureaux

I also wonder why if they can give us unlimited pack space for our crafting supplies with ESO Plus then why can't we have the same with our other items?

The game is a player's interest. The game is a challenge. Learn to fight, learn to craft, learn to manage free space, learn to mine sets, learn to trade. Most players play 1-2 characters, and increasing the space will kill the challenge for most players. So take the place of the ZOS and appreciate what you ask.

Giving us more space makes way more sense. If you dislike more space, you're still free to manage your inventory as you prefer and ignore the rest of us. Have a great day champ.

No to any inventory increase excpet for housing. Everything else is fine however housing should easily be 5 times more than even the eso+ max right now. Honestly is should not even have a limit.

I DESPERATELY need more bank space more than anything. More storage crates would be a secondary preference. character slots i find fine except if the 1 character i have that holds all survey maps. If any more survey map locations get added to the game. it will be struggle street on that character and how to store and collect my surveys. If more get added then i will likely need to make that character sacrifice doing its writs daily or combat play. Furnishings take so much and its almost like punishment for being in to housing so much vs some one that is not in to housing at all. So many people have multiple homes with furnishings placed purely for storage. As time goes on i spend more and more time doing inventory management each day. I have got everything optimised as best i can with add ons that auto junk and and placement of various items. All the bound furnishings i got from homes that are craftable i have deleted due to storage purposes. My bank and storage chests have all my yet to be completed/used monster sets and all other sets. kept in each storage type respectively. Any amount of bank upgrade space would be great. With 15 fully playable characters now and so many more items in game since it was last increased or eso+ 2x space added. Hundreds more slots, Ideally around 4x amount for eso+ making it 960 at minimum for the game "currently" would make this game soooo much nicer. Its getting back to being around half an hour of inventory manage on the good days. Time is also shorter and shorter between full inventory management which ends up being most of the day. Its now quite close to before we got the last lot of bank space upgrades or 2x bank space with eso+. I should add in that i only play magicka or tank. I do not keep stam sets. Since my last 2 tank builds are not viable due to changes made a while back (which im fine with as it was best for balance with those builds). I mostly only have mag DPS and healer sets. Collecting anything more is a matter of destroying something i do need and will use but choosing the easiest or cheapest item to get later

Other options will definitely help like our furnishings going in to our craft bags or maybe even a single large/unlimited furnishing chest. or a new storage device just for this. I say these options so we have access to all of our furnishings at any house to place.

Storage issues like these are common amongst the players that have played for many years and it is increasing with time.

Our guild has been struggling with bank space too & would like to see an increase in space for guildbank & housing furnitures.
ALso because the pool of motifs,recipe,blueprints,furniture keeps on growing ,it might be only natural to provide ways to upgrade guildbank space and furniture slots

About guild bank space management: create rules, regarding events items and other items. That should help a bit. Also, take a look at the guild bank daily since items never stack in here.

Regarding management with multiple chars: you clearly don't have a clue LOL

rsantijw13

know what else blows about inventory management how the guild banking system suck time away from you.

Tipsy

I even forgot to mention the event items on top of all mentioned previously..you wouldn't believe how many Prophet motifs we deleted after that event
The prophet must be a stripper ,judging by how eager he is to lose his clothes

Maybe guilds needs a feature expansion in general,next to bankspace upgrades
like a recipe book with all the gathered recipes in the guild ever...where you can award certain recipes to specific members/ranks
An armory that gives members a 3 procent boost to research times if the guild armory also knows that triat etc
A warehouse where players can order furniture and research blueprints out of the guild's gathered catalogus,...

Rake

Yes

Need more guild trade slots too. 30 per guild is not enough. I have so much stuff to sell from all the items that drop
