    IMHO

    So 2,680 slots (excluding unlimited slots for materials) isn't enough for you? Really?

    (That's 11 characters with a potential 200 slots each plus 480 bank slots as per your figures, although isn't the current personal max 220 slots?)

    Have you considered rolling 3 mules?

    Yes, lets put some duct tape on the problem.

    That's a 22% increase in slots - some duct tape!

    Not going to happen as the current model is to force people to sub for any QoL in the game or spend hours managing your inventory.

    Any addition to this will detract people subscribing because craftbag is the only real reason to sub. Anything that takes away from this wont be introduced.

    It took, ~3 years for bank space to be doubled even though ZOS added quite a few new items/sets to the game. Also items are purposely kept un-stackable for this reason also, to force more people to sub.

    I'd be fine with them adding more storage bonuses to ESO+ subs. I bet it would help them sell more.

    There is Zero reason to do this based on, most daily players sub already for the craft bag. Increasing the rewards gained from the craftbag wont attract more.

    Non stackable items and Bound sets that cannot be banked are the main cause of my inventory hassle. ZOS keep adding more sets to the game and items yet ignore storage space, this isn't by chance but engineered so. Way back people said i was stupid for keeping infused vMA staffs and armours that weren't BIS. Glad i kept them but the hassle of doing so was marginal.

    It might. I don't see a reason why offering housing storage based on size of your house for subscribers. I agree with you that most of my problems come from gear I am saving so I don't have to farm it again. I would like to put that in my house in a container. Would be a good benefit for ESO+ in my opinion.


    Let me be clear - Adding storage to housing in no way benefits ZOS as less people would subscribe. The only real daily perk of subscribing is the craft bag. That is the sole reason why such a simple addition to ESO has not be made.

    I run 14 characters, bag space maxed out. I own my own private guild bank of 500 spaces. Store Treasure Maps and other non bankable non stackable items in mail (40 mails constantly). I know all about the hassle of inventory micromanagement.

    ........ I literally am suggesting that you only get housing storage if you HAVE ESO PLUS. This will in no way cannibalize the craft bag in my scenario because you will not be able to get one without the other

    You know, ZoS could do something nice that doesn't benefit them out of a sign of goodwill to the customer. We do nice, unexpected, things for customers all the time at my place of business. Adding another benefit, like housing storage, to Eso+ would be a nice gesture.

    Furthermore, you are literally arguing against making all of our lives easier. You said yourself that you struggle with this issue. Arguing against more storage is masochism.

    Its not a solution if you have 14 characters and you'd actually like to play them all. The mule concept is garbage. They're releasing different sets all the time. They're changing rules all the time. As an aside, 'all the time' is hyperbole for at least every 3 months. Throw on top of this pvp gear needed if you prefer to pvp. Throw on top of this gear sets you hold onto because you recognize that all it takes is one minor flip of the switch and the gear goes from utter crap to stellar in a heartbeat. Do I want to have to re grind for that gear when I know that likely in 3-6 months its going to be awesome again? Forget about it. Inventory management is annoying. I've got 14 characters all 180-200 slots. I've got more than one guild bank at my disposal. I've got maxed out bank and subscribed. I've got many houses I dump extra furnishings in. I'm still not happy with inventory space. I suppose if I wanted to just have garbage characters purely for storage purposes the suggestion works.

    There's one more problem with inventory. Guild banks are ridiculous. You can literally store 1 item per player in a guild in a maxed out guild. How does that make any sense? Why shouldn't guilds be able to expand their storage to suit the size of their player base? The fact that accessing and deposing in a guild bank is a total nightmare shouldn't be lost on you either. I'm tired of sitting there jamming 'e', 'e' 'E' 'E!!!' and feeling like I've got some Samuel L. Jackson expletive problems after a few minutes of dealing with the guild bank.

    Next there is Stores. I would love to have a personal store I could set up at my house. I'm sure a lot of people would. Why not convert Dune into the proper Bazaar that it was meant to be and get ten to fifteen guild stores in there. How about sell expansion slots so people can offer more items on a guild store. There are so many quality of life things they could do regarding inventory, I really don't understand how anyone could say 'Nope, its perfect, continue to do nothing about it.'

    I would like to be able to craft mannequins, that i could store my armour and weapon sets on. That way I could go to my house and choose what to wear. This would free up my inventory and i would have an actual use for my house.

    This idea is ace. Most of us did that back in Skyrim and it could be easly implemented.
    Imagine how nice would that be to collect and assemble armor set to various mannequins, just to click E over them and automatically equip everything.

    It should gives us options like:
    - Store in the Mannequin everything you have equiped.
    - switch your equipment with the Mannequin's one.
    - Equip the Mannequin set but keep your one in your inventory -> or store it in the chest just below!

    For ESO+ members obviously

    Stop it. ZOS. Make houses what they should be.

    they are called bankers and you can get to one just about anywhere, heck for a few crowns you can get your own personal one. if you have maxed out all spaces from alt. toons to your bank space I would say you are holding on to too much stuff and need to let some of it go because it's just sitting there for nothing because you are being a pack rat and that is not ESO's fault.

    I suggest that you get ESO plus for double bank space if you have that already then again you have way too much stuff that you probably really don't need nor will ever use and you just need to part ways with it and sell it at a merchant. heck if it doesn't sell just goes back to you mail and you can just leave it there.

    stop complaining and blaming ZOS when it's your own fault

    Not quite because it's a good thing that a game like ESO offers variety. There are way more sets around than we can store. If you pick them up to give them a fair try sometime later instead of just using what everyone uses, you need a fairly big inventory. Experimenting with sets out-of-the-box can be fun and a driving motivation in this game of its own for some. It could also make sense to hold on a set which is so-so at the moment but may become better in an upcoming patch eventually. Things like that happened. So it's unjust to blame the players for the way they want to play.

    It's even more of an issue if you play all the roles the game has to offer (tank, healer, damage dealer). And on top it's not just sufficient to pickup a set. You may want the very same set with different traits for different situations like divines in PVE, impen in PVP.

    It's good that we have this variety. But we are limited in the way we can make use of it, because the storage system is too limited and just utterly clumsy.

    Never had any issues with inventory.

    The player to whom I was responding directly with that suggestion has 11 characters, not 14. He's complaining about not having enough slots but hasn't maximised those already available. Indeed, according to ZOS, the reason they don't see the need to expand the inventory any further at the moment is because most players haven't taken advantage of the slots currently available to them.

    As for your additional comment "I really don't understand how anyone could say 'Nope, its perfect, continue to do nothing about it.'" is anyone really saying that? I'm only saying that while additional housing storage is desirable, it is not a necessity.

    That leaves no room for items and things I collect while out questing etc... Do you think I just log on and that's it, just stand around?

    Ok. Folks....

    The Problem is, that we have exatly every set in the game as "Endgame-Set" or at least there is the possibility, that it becomes meta or perhaps you will need it on a troll char in Cyrodiil...
    The Item Progression is non existent with CP160. The only thing you have to do is to upgrade it on gold and perhaps transmute it into perfect trait.
    Some patches it will be divine and infused, then it will be reinforced or somethin else.

    Normaly those 1k+ spaches + craftingbag is enough. But since there are so many possibilities: Allone my Tank has at least 5 PVE setups and now 5 PVP setups. That is 130-150 Slots allone. Then there are all those poisons, potions, buffoods.
    Siege- PVP stuff doesnt stack very well... so lets face it... my inventory is more then full..

    1 Run trough a dungeon gives me tons of materials, equipment, glyphes and trash. Some of it has to be sold (vendor, guildstore), other has to be decrafted or used as trait- items.

    And this is just a standard setup for one role.

    If you play tank, healer, stamdd, magdd... you have more sets and different traits for pvp/pve.
    That is roughly 600 slots for basic equipment allone.
    Some Siegequipments, Soulstones, Chest-opener, Potions and jadda jadda jadda... Your Bank is full.

    Let`s just say, the 1k+ Slots are easyly full if you are a careful player, preparing for future content or just keep the hard earned stuff. (Like head/shoulder sets in different armor types).

    I have to manually write on a post-it, where i put each set. Blooddrinker could be important one day right? Perhaps i start playing my Dk again and i need set x..

    There should be a system to at least help. A good addon would help. Because the problem is, that some items have not the correct names... so they get lost... suddendly you have them multiple times.

    One important addon for me is inventory insight. But that is not enough.

    So one good proposition is the option i alredy suggested: Allow your offline characters to be displayed as npc`s at your home... you could trade with each of them directly.

    Option number 2: you can learn to craft the sets, by destroying them... kinda like with the traits. At least then, you just have to keep the ring/neckless... in all three traits ofcorse...

    Option number 3: Alter equipment progression.

    It would help if there was simply a way to sort sets in bank or inventory. It really hard when some items aren't listed by set name... Also maybe a folder or dressing room inside house. A dressing room would change the housing market for better for developer and player stand point.

    I agree 100% that's why I haven't bothered with housing. I know a lot of people like collecting and decorating and that's all fine, but that doesn't work for me. Give me a few boxes I can store things in and I'll buy the house.

    I don't think we should have to do all this work around stuff. Having to get a guild Bank, 10 of your friends etc... multiple mules for storage... Bouncing mail off of friends... why can't I mail between characters? Who dreams this crap up in your dev dept.?

    it's ridiculous and does not make the game more fun to play or more enjoyable in anyway.

    Even after doubling Bank space recently, which tells me they knew it was a problem to begin with... it's still just not enough.

    The same can be said about horse training as well. I have to log on to every one of my characters every day for the tedium of clicking on the horse trainer and spending my 250 gold... Ridiculous. It takes 40 minutes of my game time away from me to do this nonsense. How about allowing a toggle, if you must have your daily increments, that allows me to set my trains to daily, and then you can take your 250 gold until I'm trained up. That is how it is done in Eve Online and it makes sense. I guess they just want us to buy crowns to buy the horse trains from them directly. Well you already have my sub, and that's all you're getting.

    ZOS, smarten up with this ***. Endless tedium is not enjoyable gameplay.

    448 slots of space you should need for armor that's 4 outfits for each toon with considering you use all the 8 characters that should take up what most of your bank space. I went with 14 pieces for each set doing two slots being used for each weapon slot and 3 pieces of jewelry. now max out bag space on each toon including your horse and you have way more then enough space left for crafting and etc. This isn't even including if you have ESO plus, again not having enough space is the players fault. I understand it's hard to get rid of stuff I constantly have inventory issues though I'm not max'd out on any of my toons and I have plus still I find it hard to get rid of anything. But, this is my own fault I don't go blaming the game because like in real life there is no point holding on to that outfit that may come back in style or you are going to lose the weight to fit into it. Get rid of the stuff and if for some reason later down the road you can either purchase stuff or go out looking for it again (talking about the game now lol)

    We need more than storage in our homes.

    We need something like an equipment bag that stores all of our bound weapons, armor and jewellery. This game has dozens of sets, but it makes it very difficult for a player to collect and utilize them.

    Furthermore, when a dungeon set takes dozens or sometimes hundreds of hours to collect, it's unreasonable to expect us to delete the pieces when we no longer need them at a particular moment.

    There are a lot of other considerations like:
    - the Undaunted Mettle passives which makes it extremely beneficial to collect Undaunted sets in all armor types
    - PVE and PVP setups will almost always be different
    - ESO has become extremely alt friendly; it is normal for players to have multiple characters that play multiple roles
    - PVP characters usually have a variety of builds to cover solo and group playstyles

    I think the equipment bag concept should also allow multiple characters to equip the same item. This would drastically improve the value of ESO as players would be able to spend more time enjoying the game and less time transferring gear between various alts.

    I have 11 characters and quite frankly, 480 bank slots is not enough space to collect gear for them plus store items for sale that I can't get on my guild traders as the limit for items for sale is 30 at a time. (Most of my characters have their own inventories maxed to 200)

    Bank space should be infinite or at least significantly higher than 480. The micromanagement required at the moment is annoying and I am at times, forced to deconstruct or delete items that I would otherwise have liked to have kept.

    Also, a text search box on the bank and personal inventory should be an intrinsic part of the game, not requiring an addon.

    The interface in this game really could do with some tender loving care to make the game look contemporary and not like something from 1995.

    IMHO

    I couildn't say it better.

    At least for ESO+ subscribers the bank space should be much much higher, for non-subscribers maybe 2x the current space.

    There are just too many sets out now which I want to keep for offspec or alt characters and I am approaching the limits.

    Currently the addon I am using is
    http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info1518-SetTracker.html
    which tracks your sets in your bank and on all your characters.

    Still its getting ridiculous because now I am at the point where I have to check the traits and have to decide what to keep and what not...

    Why do you keep everything. You shouldn't be able to just hoard every item in the game. Keep the items that belong to each character on the respective character, bank the extras (there is so much bank space), and sell the rest.

    Never had any issues with inventory.

    I am currently subscribed and do not keep everything, for example, but still I am approaching the limits, because I am keeping all sets which I can use on my main as tank, healer and dps as well as PvP sets and BiS gear for my alts. And I am not willing to throw sets away which are close to BiS and might become useful at some time. As someone already said before: rules and sets can (and will) change from time to time. Perhaps you throw that gear away (your choice) or you haven't played that long yet.

    I think that for subscribers the bank space should be at least 4 times more than what we have now.

    Also we need a better inventory management UI. The sets are sometimes spread out all over the place, because the names of certain pieces belonging to the same set can be different.

    Housing storage is an issue for sure.

    What gets me more is how we still cannot stack items in the guild bank. This is more time consuming than it needs to be.

    The thing with housing is houses are supposed to store stuff and solve inventory issues. But ESO's housing has made it a lot worse seeing that every single tree you loot or ever vendor item you buy counts as a slot.

    It's ridiculous.
    Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.

    ........ I literally am suggesting that you only get housing storage if you HAVE ESO PLUS. This will in no way cannibalize the craft bag in my scenario because you will not be able to get one without the other

    You know, ZoS could do something nice that doesn't benefit them out of a sign of goodwill to the customer. We do nice, unexpected, things for customers all the time at my place of business. Adding another benefit, like housing storage, to Eso+ would be a nice gesture.

    Furthermore, you are literally arguing against making all of our lives easier. You said yourself that you struggle with this issue. Arguing against more storage is masochism.

    hah you get me wrong - I am not arguing or advocating not getting extra storage... just pointing out why it hasnt been done yet. It has been engineered to force people to subscribe.

    Adding extra storage chests/mannequins to housing is a simple idea, should of came with housing to not make it so worthless as it is atm. Extra storage is needed by all, ESO+ and regular players who buy the DLC's outright. It would be a bad idea to add storage only for ESO+ as you marginalise people who buy the DLC's outright.

    ESO is all about inventory management, badly so. I dont struggle with it though, it just takes time, time i would of rather spent playing the game/character than using as a mule. But it is what it is and ZOS moves so slowly i cant see it changing for a long time.

    as someone who loots everything and hoards a lot, more space is not needed. learn to deal with your inventory instead of simply ignoring it and let everything pile up. that is what you are doing. saying 'i need everything in my inventory' and refusing to throw anything out.
    especially not with transmute, its not hard to get item sets again and just transmute to the trait you want. will it cost you? sure, as it should.

    I would like to be able to craft mannequins, that i could store my armour and weapon sets on. That way I could go to my house and choose what to wear. This would free up my inventory and i would have an actual use for my house.

    I like this!

    I could see ZOS making $$ for this too in that housing storage is only available via ESO+ the same way the crafting bag is. As it is, I'm already subbed because the crafting bag is just too good - but I wonder how many more subs they would get if houses actually had some storage capacity too..

    Okay its been particularly annoying for me this week with the 2x Wrothgar rewards but otherwise its not to bad.

    Join a trade guild or a bunch of trade guilds and.

    Sell sell sell sell your junk.. turn it into gold, which you can store an infinite amount of. Then if you need something agian buy it. Sell sell sell your mats, why store all those mats when you can turn them into gold instead. gold gold! Gold you can use to buy back the mats later.

    Stop hording and only keep things that are BiS in the BiS trait. Vendor all blue jewerly its complete trash. Destory the crawlers (be a jerk like me with my limited inventory space and never pick it up).

    sell stuff you dont use. buy it back if it becomes BiS.
    we do not need or want more bag space. learn to manage your inventory issues instead of [snip] the game sux for not giving you unlimited space

    unlimited/too much space would also kill the economy since nothing would be worth anything since everyone has one in the bank.

    This is the sole reason I am going to just play one month a year. I'll just buy the latest chapter and a one month sub. I'll likely do it when the next small DLC comes out since the next chapter should be discounted 50% by then. In that one month, I'll play through the chapter and the DLC.

    Right now I have a full bank from when I had an active sub, meaning I would need to clear a ton to use it. I just don't feel like bothering just to repeat old content and do daily busy work.
