Extra Bank space (purchasable with gold)

TheCommentator

Hi guys, with every new zone that is put into the game another 3 or so style materials are added to the game. For many players (with ESO+) this is not an issue as the mats go straight into the craft bag. However, for a player like myself who doesn't have ESO+, my bank is 240/240 full of style/trait mats/upgrade mats (NOT Raw ore or ingots!) ect. This also does not include all provisioning items. You might say, sell them you don't need them, but why should I? I like to keep 1 stack of mats at all times. Therefore, I would like to see further purchasable bank space made available to accommodate the style materials. Summerset has 4 (Sea Serpent Hide, Vitrified Malondo, Culanda Lacquer and Gryphon Plume) and blackwood will be the same. I don't see why anyone would object to an extra 10 purchasable slots.
Thanks, Commentator

More Slots Please.

Bank was not updated since game has launched (2014). There so many crafting mats nowadays that even if you keep only one stack of top tier crafting mats bank is almost full... keeping all motif mats is impossible. There is simply too many of them. Even keeping only overland style materials is impossible.

Bank cap should be increased to at least 250 (500 with ESO+).

I'm certainly not opposed to getting more bank space, but do you know that you can put materials into the crafting bag during an ESO+ free trial and then you'll still be able to use them afterwards? Unless you're collecting 240 different types of style materials in between each trial that should clean up a lot of space.

I normally keep the 10 basic styles in the bank because I use them frequently for daily writs, and keep all the rest in a storage chest in my house. It's very rare that I collect more than 60 different style materials between ESO+ trials, so one chest has always been enough for me (and if I do go over I have an "odds and ends" chest I can put them in). When there's a trial I empty it and then start over filling it up afterwards.

Yes! But where is this years post jubilee ESO+ trial I've been holding onto mats that I'd normally sell for the past 2 weeks just waiting and waiting. So if anyone has an ETA on a free trial please let me know below!

Not sure how you manage that! I have 1 60 slot chest for "long term investments" like sugar skulls recipe's from witches fest ect, 1 full of tanking sets, 1 full of sets for DDs/healers and a final 60 slot chest for swapping stuff between characters. But hats off to you!

So you are actually asking them to sweeten the "Free Beer" offer to suit you even better?
Honestly, if you like the game, subscribe. I assume you can't spend your money on a movie ticket right now anyway.

I've thought for years that bank space should be available for upgrade with gold 10 each time a dlc drops.

If you got 9 friends,have em join a guild you make to unlock the guildbank(500 slots).Get all 8 coffers(360 slots total),and with your 240 bank slots,and make more chars(up to 8 free) and use em as mules with 200(210 if you have the 2 pets) slots each.Once free eso+ trial hits,login everyone and have mats store in craftbag,or buy a 1 month sub to clear things sometimes.I'd also get an addon like Leo's Alts or Elder Scrolls of Alts and Inventory Insight to see who has what.

They cancelled the ESO plus free trial after half an hour due to a technical glitch last week. No news when it will be coming back

Honestly I want this just for the satisfaction of having a nice round number. Every time I open my bank account and see 480, it just hurts my heart.

I mean I only use 1 chest for style materials (which means I don't have more than 60 of them at any given time), not 1 chest in total for everything. I mentioned in the next sentence that I have another chest I can put them into if I need the overflow, and yes I have all the others unlocked and used to store other stuff, I just don't need them for style materials which was the subject of this discussion.

Oh and there was supposed to be an ESO+ free trial but something went wrong with it so they had to delay it until they can fix the problems. No idea when that will be.

Companions gear makes monstrous increase in a players storage need.

Just for Armour of Nine (9) different traits three (3) different weights, and seven (7) different Armour slots. This makes for one hundred eighty nine (189) minimum inventory slots just to hold one set of each of the Armour items.

The fully upgraded players bank, (non ESO+) inventory is 240. So with 189 items for the companion amour sets. Leave 51 bank slots for other things. Now add the Jewelry and Weapons they can and this makes a massive increase in storage requirements.

We need one of the following:
1. FREE BANK upgrade in the FULL amount to hold ALL of this gear.
2. Make the companions gear not count as inventory and placed into the UI similar to costumes / mementos / mounts are.
3. Make Companions hold ALL their own gear.

That would be ideal, but I am trying to be realistic. It will never happen because craft bag is a thing. I don't know if this is intended, but since nothing was done about it I assume it is intended.

"Introduce a problem and then sell a solution for it."

I kinda strongly dislike when companies do that. It almost feels like a scam tbh. Because this problem with bank space becomes noticable only after a lot of time you spend in game, when you have a lot of playtime, so you are more likely to spend cash on something that pretty much is an artificial problem, designed to sell a solution for that problem...

The solution of adding x slots every DLC and chapter to compensate for increase in sets would solved many problems.

Every patch, sets get added and although some sets are just not useful, some are and having a full set shouldn't for de me to delete my other gold-quality gear.

With the price of mats these days, and even with old prices, it's prohibitively expensive to decon a set just to potentially recon it 3-4 months later.

It's around 400k to gold one 3 piece set and that's not jewelry ofc.

pretty please

playing eso without eso plus is almost impossible with only 240 item slots.

I’m the early days of the game I really struggled with bank space and inventory management.

Then they introduced the crafting bag, and I thought “I’ll never run out or space again!” But I did.

Then they doubled the bank max for ESO+ subscribers, and I thought “wow, this is so much more! I’ll never run out of space again!” But I did.

Then they introduced the sticker book system and I thought “this is so great, I’ll free up so much space by not needing to keep all these sets! This will be plenty of bank space now!” But it wasn’t.

I accept that no matter what the bank cap it, it won’t be enough. I’ll hit it. That’s my problem, not a Zeni problem.

Buy ESO Plus. Not only do you get double the bank space (480/480), but you also get the craftbag which will allow you to keep all your crafting mats and access them on any character with ease. It's worth it.

Many people, myself included, don't want to pay money each month. 10 bank spaces each expansion/dlc isn't insane.

A solution is available.

If you dont want to pay for that solution, then you have made your choice - Fine.

If i want a bigger TV i have the choice of paying for it, or making do with what i have - This is the way life works.

You cant expect things for free, Zos is a business.

They needed to give us more bank slots when they added housing. I think the compromise there was to give us the house banks (the chests), but really we still more bank space already.

Please, ZOS, give us more bank slots purchasable with in-game.

ThorianB

Quoted post has been removed.]

To play this game you need the following:

1. Electricity
2. A computer than can run this game
3. A decent internet connection.

We generally assume that if you are well off enough to afford these things, then that extra bit of money, for a very large portion of the player base, isn't that far off. That doesn't make us supremacist, it makes us logical. A majority of us understand that plus may be just out of reach and there are some that will say "Just buy ESO plus" but don't label all north americans that way because a few dont have any concept of how things are outside their own country.

Personally, as someone who lives in the US and has ESO plus, i think they should allow ESO plus to be purchased, minus the crowns that come with it for several thousand crowns per month. Then make it giftable. That way a person who can't afford ESO plus could use gold earned in the game in exchange for the sub and ZOS would still get money for the sub because it would burn up far more crowns than you get with the cash sub. The cash sub would still be a better deal for people who can afford it. So everyone wins.

I think you are missing the point. They keep adding more things into the game, lots of which don't even go into the craft bag, but don't increase bank space.

But the other point is that with more things added to the game, more things become obsolete and pointless to collect. Hoarders have the option to subscribe if it's that important to them. If they can't afford a subscription then I sympathise, but everyone cannot have everything all the time. ZOS are focussed on performance at the moment, whether it seems like it to some of the players or not, and adding more server data per character isn't going to be high on their priority list.

magnusthorek

Thank you for deleting my whole answer, whoever you are. I wasn't impolite, I didn't offend anyone (yet). I simply expressed my opinion, explaining a scenario, in which, unfortunately, I let a tad bit of discontentment go along. And yet, I was summarily vetoed, having all my rights of freedom speech you, North-Americans are soooo proud of and make sure to have us swallow throw all sorts of mefia, simply denied - after all, since there's not a green text message from any ZOS_* nothing wrong about it as in for forum's judicial contract, I mean, I mean, "rules of conduct".

Ah! Next time remember to ALSO remove answers that quoted what you unjustly removed. ;-)

I have ESO+ and both of the extra inventory pets and I still support this idea. For players who are into housing, the available bank space is completely inadequate.

ApoAlaia

I think this is not an extravagant request.

The game now has significantly more items - even without factoring in gear because the sticker book did a lot towards alleviating that hurdle - than it did at release.

You can manage without ESO+ but it becomes a 'Warehouse Manager' minigame in its own right, and unless that's your poison is not a particularly fun or engaging one.

I get that ZOS would like paid subscribers, I am one myself, but this does not detract from paid subscriptions, it adds to everyone.

Furthermore ZOS would also want people playing and staying because numbers matter, and a month of ESO+ here and there paid to 'tidy up' adds up; requesting an increase of the available bank slots that can be purchased with non-premium currency by a small amount a couple of times a year to tie up with the release of new content does not seem unreasonable [to me].

EDIT: Full disclosure, I am doing fine myself with the available space; it did get a bit testing at times in the months leading to the release of the stickerbook because I like to play multiple classes and I was playing both PVE and PVP at the time, but since I am doing just fine. I am currently 'running' at 23% capacity with 16 'playable' characters and 2 that never leave town.

Get your own personal guild bank.

TwinLamps

non ESO + bank =>500 slots
ESO+ bank => 1000 slots

Stahlor

What about an ESO+ Pro for more bank space, less lag and less DC'S?
Could also be offered with tokens from the crown store: 50% reduced lag token, 50% less dc token etc...

The chests are genial, one major benefit is that they are in the house instance, the bank pretty much has to be in memory as people use bankers and crafting stations. You notice how guild banks take time to load as they are not in memory.
