Is there enough bank space?

egosumacunnus · July 2014

It seems woefully inadequate to me for a pay to play i expect this sort of thing from play to win. I think they got the bank systems reversed and we got the guild bank system and the guilds got the player bank system. It would make more sense that way round. Hours every week spent on mules if you want to do everything, which i do is a joke and the cost, ffs i don't want to spend 750K upgrading my bank i want to spend it on cool stuff in the game. Makes me want to buy gold to reduce the amount of time i am spending shuffling inventory's rather than playing.

Space... The final frontier.

If you keep what you need and not hoarding there is plenty.

My 7 mule chars seem to think there is not enough.

If you do various crafts, then there isn't enough bank space.

If you have no interest in crafting, this might be true. As someone with 4 crafting professions going who does not want to have to use alts as banks, it is nowhere near enough. It is also aggravated by extremely long wait times for crafting research, which causes a backup of items that are waiting for future research.

I have all crafting going and still have no problems with bank space. I also do not use mules. You argument does not work for me.

The price doesn't bother me. I both like and dislike the communal bank for all of my characters, and I think the space issue could easily be solved by having personal bank space per character. If we could also keep the shared bank, cool, because I really like being able to pull my crafting mats from one pool rather than alt hopping to gather them.

Slurg is a hoarder and not ashamed to admit it.

I'll use all that stuff someday! Really!

Multiple crafts are what take up most of the space actually. I'm making stuff for my main and lower level alts in two other classes and that requires lots of different materials.

Ideally, I should need a new ten slots each time I move into a new zone, for new materials and such. Cost makes that difficult. I just hit VR1 yesterday but I have 130 slots. I also have all motifs, a 43k horse, and a few mounts at 30+. So I've been spending a lot of money. I have ~135k remaining right now but don't want to sink it all into the bank until I have some more. I guess I'm pretty much out of other things to buy, but I'd rather have the gold if I need it.

The price should be raised in all honestly. We need more gold sinks in this game to keep the economy from overheating with to much currency.

Brasseurfb16_ESO · July 2014

I personnaly think you can get enough spaces to put all your materials but to do so you need to spend a lot of gold and it gets very expensive when you get above 150 spaces.

Have your mules research the traits that are awaiting your crafter; you free up bank space that would be otherwise occupied by research gear.

I haven't spent enough to cap out bank space. whats the cap?

AoEnwyr · July 2014

As a dedicated hoarder of goods with several bank alts, I wanted to say "MOAR Bank space!" but in reality there is enough and it is reasonably priced. I just need to stop collecting every stale radish I come across.

That aside Elder Scrolls Games have previously had "carry weight" system in place (thank god for Feather Potions) where as in ESO my silky gloves weigh the same as my Dwemer steel cuirass. There needs to be some way to control how much to can carry or store as it impacts on the in-game economy.

Akula · July 2014

I don't think you quite understand the idea(and need) of cash sinks.

kieso · July 2014

there it inst enough when you're a crafter of several crafts; well that's not entirely true there is enough but it is insanely tight, the price increase goes up a bit to steep IMO

kassandratheclericb14_ESO · July 2014

Ok there has been like 5 other threads about this (and wow was there some anger in them, lol.)

I personally would like more but Zeni seems to be taking the hard line thus far and keeping to their reason "why" there is not more space. Basically it is so you can not craft every craft on your character (s.)

I disagree and would like more space.

Blackwidow · July 2014

The only real reality is, if we started with more bank space and each character had a little bank space of their own, nobody would have complained.

In the history of MMOs nobody has ever complained that a MMO gave them too much storage space.

Yet, here people are wanting to keep the bank space small, even though it would only make players happy if we had a little more space.

Nhines · July 2014

I'd like more space, but it's a money/time sink, and probably needed to some extent. This game just doesn't have as much crap to buy. There aren't that many item sets that are worth anything, and once you can craft all of the craftables (have all the motifs, trades, etc)there's not a ton you need to buy other then materials and some rarer stuff.

It is annoying pulling stuff out of the bank to transfer other stuff to another character/mule but it's probably not gonna change.

AngryWolf · July 2014

If not, but more. Someone mark this thread as ANSWERED. TA DA!

If that's what you think, you need to change your expectations.
Paying for a game doesn't mean everything should be easy/boring, this extends to bag space.

Honestly though, a forum search would have been prudent; this topic has been flogged to death already.

someuser · July 2014

I think the limited bank space is designed to further certain game mechanics. For example, crafting is easy and can be done quickly... The same can be said for leveling alts... and that good in a way as it allows people to level these skills while still being a casual gamer... However, if everyone was a master crafter in all categories with bank space for everything the economy would be non-existent.

Forcing people to buy expensive bank space limits your ability to do everything yourself unless you really put the time into the game to BOTH lvl your trade and have the bank space to accommodate it.

One of the things that, IMO, will make or break ESO is how complex they allow the non-combat aspects of the game to be. A game that is all a pre-50 faceroll cake walk will bore any decent MMO gamer leaving nothing but finicky kids and super casual gamers... You got to give people something that allows themselves to set themselves apart from others, while at the same time not making crafting inaccessible to anyone other than a person who can play 12+ hrs a day.

I don't think limited and expensive bank space is the best long-term solution, but until they further refine the game and its mechanics I personally feel it is necessary.

Arsenic_Touch · July 2014

It was a design choice for the crafting professions. They allowed you to obtain all crafting professions on one character but limited the bank space on purpose. With that being said you have more than enough space across all your characters to encompass your banking needs. Most of you just want to be lazy about it and not pull items off your alts.

There are addons to list your alts items so you don't even have to swap back and forth searching for that one item you can just open the list know what it's on and go on that character.You can also try post it notes on your desk.

You can also just buy bags for your alts and give them horses and level them for bag space. You can get 51 slots from a horse if you buy the 42k one + 110 slots per character. At 8 characters on your account, that's 1288 slots for your entire account not including the character bank which is 240.

While I wouldn't be opposed to more bank space, the current system is designed that way for a reason and I have no issues with running out of space.

Wut??? Mules CAN'T research traits for my character....that makes no sense.

I have no issue with bank space, at the moment. However changing the stacking on Potency Runes to 100 will help out a fair bit.

I reject the notion that since we pay a sub we should have the game served to us on a silver platter.

You keep saying this like it's fact. It's just your assumption of what would have been. It's false, because if inventory wasn't limited I would have complained.

I'm fine with the amount of bank space. It could, however, be a bit more affordable.

phaneub17_ESO · July 2014

Other than Bank space, and the need to respec broken and misleading skill Morphs, I haven't really found another use for gold, it just piles up. The Imperial pony covers all the mounts I'll ever need and provides cheap bag upgades.

My bank is at 150 slots, my mules are also 150 each, and my main is 125. With an organized spread, I think I got enough space. However, I would like personal banks for each individual character instead of having to lug everything around.

... You have your mules craft that trait when your main has the research ready.

I have my Main doing all Light Armor, Heavy Armor, and 3 Woodworking. I have an alt doing all Medium Armor, Metal Weapons, and 3 Destro Staves. That way I have focused down the traits I need without hoarding items and get 8/8 on each item sooner. Once my main is done with all his researches I have my alt craft Rawhide, Iron, and Maple items with the other stuff.
