Inventory & Bank space

So I bring this up again because it has not been addressed by any Devs.
i really can't understand how is it that new stuff comes out(like this new chapter), more blue prints, more furnishing, more gear sets, different meta builds but you don't even think about giving the option to keep upgrading bank and inventory space. Maybe not everybody needs it but there are a lot of us that like theory crafting, trying out new builds with different traits, etc but we simply don't have enough bank space to manage without having to logout and login 24 times to different characters to move items. I would really love to hear what the devs have to say about this. I mean is there any argument at all against adding new bank space or inventory space? They have been asking for this for many months. It should be standard that if you guys add new stuff to the game you should automatically add more space.

    Well, don't be a hoarder. 400 slots is plenty.

    If 400 isn't enough, there's ESO+. Infinite craft bag, and double bank.

    They're not going to give you infinity for free.

    Their answer seems to be that you can buy pets that give you more inventory space, spending around 1,200 crowns to store one extra armor set per character.

    There is no requirement anywhere that states you have to keep every blue prints, furnishing, gear sets, or different meta build in the game, @Kebo.

    But the key question is: Are you already maxed out on bank space, character inventory, mount bag space, furnishing chests, and non-combat pet inventory?

    I'm betting you're not.

    actually max is 480 in bank but ok. let me clarify---> guys who don't try things and just search ESO 1 bar builds in google will never understand.

    That's almost 4,000 inventory slots which is enough for any one player.

    Idk if it can be any useful to you but i will copy paste you what i wrote in another similar thread that was complaining about craft bag and inventory space, i always had the same problem and on top of that now i stopped subbing to ESO+, but probably only know im really learning how to manage my inventory (and im an endgame player with a TTT and PvP exp). Btw here you can find the price of character/bank space upgrades.

    https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9526/~/how-much-does-it-cost-to-upgrade-the-number-of-bag-slots-and-the-number-of-bank

    ______________________________________________________________________________________________

    Since i’ve been playing in the last +2 years i always had my ESO+ active and when you are used to play with 480 bank space and crap bag going back it becomes a really hard adventure especially if you as many other players (like me) like to loot everything and have a large exotic collection of sets that you might want to try out ‘some day’.

    Well Zenimax found the right way to force to change my attitudes delivering a game always more broken in therms of performance, in therms of strategies for ‘balance the game’ and in therms of the public they try to reach. Endgame players get continuously left behind at last place in their agenda, if you played for too long you aren’t anymore welcome and the only reason for keep you here is that you can pay your monthly sub, buy the new chapter and from their crown store.

    I decided to stop supporting this game (also considered to quit) so didn’t buy Greymoor and stopped renewing my ESO+, so now i have the same inventory space problem even though i have 11 characters, 8 coffers and a guild bank with 500 slots. Well since i could quit at anytime (and even if not) there is no point on:

    1) keep mediocre sets
    2) continue loot nodes
    3) keep deconstructing
    4) keep crafting

    If you are experienced enough you can make gold simply by playing the game without having to craft/farm anything, you can buy/sell all you need from trading guilds and if you really need to craft few things during the year (potions, armor) just keep those few materials you need and buy all the rest from guild stores. You can also buy all DLCs with gold and buy the latest chapter 1 year later (or wait few month for price to drop). The hardest part is to change your attitudes but is completely duable and i would say even more fun for me becouse next time i will have to complain becouse of broken game i know at least that im no longer paying them, so i can be ok with whatever crap they do. More people should do like this instead of paying and complaining all the time, if they would do so maybe something would really change at some point (performance in first place). But many are too lazy for this and would feel newbies without ESO+.

    Be aware becouse the system is designed in all ways to fill your inventory (with crap), examples?:

    - daily login reward
    - rewards of the worthy in AvA areas
    - battlegrounds rewards
    - random dungeon rewards
    - quests rewards
    - sets you can loot everywhere you are playing (overland, dungeon, arena, trial, AvA, antiquities!)
    - Mobs dropping crap everywhere (and 1million alkahest)
    - Items that don't stack or with stack limit
    - 1 crap item deconstruct = 2/.../5 crap items in your Bag
    - nodes everywhere
    - events!
    - etc, etc, etc

    If some day i will be forced to pay for play the full game i will definitely quit, im already too tired of having to farm meta sets, characters every new expansion. As long i can avoid looting won’t be a problem to play without subbing, i can say even more, at some point they might also have to give access to ESO+ with crowns (that you can trade with gold) becouse new competitors will always come out (like New World) so if they want to keep their audience they will have to adapt to the market (crown gifting is an example).

    It seems pretty clear to me that f2p and b2p MMORPGs almost universally use increasing numbers of nonstacking collectibles (like crafting mats or gear) to drive people to spend more money on additional item storage.

    Looks like they might do one inventory pet now and then? We're getting a rat that can carry 2 wedges of cheese.
    If they upped it to one pet per quarter that might be nice. Just keep it giftable.
    Or something where you get +1 or more Bank slots per house you won, depending on what their size is.

    Yes, let's let every single individual character that exists in the game have their own independent infinite database of items for every item type in the game.

    I'm sure that won't affect the server performance at all, so obviously it should be attainable with just in-game gold. Or hell, even free!

    I think most of you miss the point entirely. I would happily part with additional monthly sub on top of ESO+ for more space. My healer main has to carry multiple versions of every set just on the off chance my guild does a particular run that day. My bank is always completely maxed out due to daily writs and quests pumping out dcon gear for my lowbies to level their crafting and I have every character slot open and used at the moment. This new DLC has thrown everyone for a loop in terms of volumes of trinkets, furniture, and other stuff.

    Literally its a shut up and take my money situation. There are tons of players who feel the same way. WE NEED MOAR STORAGE PERIOD.

    I'm not sure "we" need more storage. The problem you are describing is in no way universal to the entire playerbase. It's mostly a you (and a few others) problem. The vast majority of us get along fine with significantly less than our maximum 4000 slots of storage.

    This might be a case that requires looking inward for a solution, friend, rather than outward.

    If you've got ESO+, you've got no room to complain. What you've got is a hording problem. Do some spring cleaning. Get rid of those sets that "might be worth something at some point if they maybe release a patch that might change them so they could possibly be good". Toss those fifty stacks of poisons that you picked up but never use. Sell off or junk those three hundred recipes that you already know on every character. Designate a house or two as a furnishing warehouse and neatly organize those excess chairs and tables and skooma bubblers. You'll be amazed at just how much free space you actually have when you're done.

    If you don't have ESO+ and you're a crafter, then you've got some ground to stand on. Each new addition adds a handful of new mats that you need to store in a bank that is half the size of the subs, not to mention using houses for furnishing storage is also limited to half what subs get.

    Ya its truly mind blowing. Its been like what since one tamriel since we got inventory upgrades? Or homestead maybe? That is a long time. With many, mannny, new sets and items added to the game. Its unreal, i have like 5 alts with just gear. Plus every storage chest and a guild bank. People that expect you to hop from alt to alt searching for gear are unrealistic. This is not a hardcore mmo. You should not have 10 bank alts if you want to keep a lot of sets for a lot of builds.

    Then you will never be happy. Much like the rest of us hoarders ZoS could give us 100 new slots and in a week we would be saying not enough. No matter how many we get we will fill them and want more.

    I have plenty of bank space. My problem, is I like to delve dive and quest as much as possible before going back to the bank. I have purchased as much bag space as I can. I now have to wait 24 hours before I can upgrade my bag by 1, via stablemaster. My point is they aren't very good if they can't get the same type of equipment to stack. Stacks of 200 are fine. But when you pick up 3 rubidite swords (no adjustments to them) they take up 3 different bag slots on your character. I mean come on, if you can get pots and food, and drinks to stack (not all do though) you can surely stack items that are exactly the same

    If the problem is just about "gear sets" in particular that seems to have some people grieving on the most.

    I've said in other posts (and provided a process idea for), that ZOS could give the people what they want AND generate money by offering:

    Mannequins!

    They already exist in game and with some coding added to them, could become gold or crown buyable items we could put in our houses.

    They would allow for people to "dress" them in gear/weapon loadouts, that would provide storage for that gear as well as a means to be instantly swapped (into and out of) by addressing the mannequin. They would also need to be "nameable", i.e "PVP set", "Dungeon set", or whatever you wish, etc. and they would count as one item for the purposes of housing inventory (similar to chests).

    In addition...
    If people wanted a means of "swapping" sets while out in Tamriel, ZOS could offer (either through a quest reward, mythic dig site or the store) a new assistant, "The Tailor"

    Bringing the Tailor out would act like the Banker/Vendor. It'd be group useable and when addressed, would pull up a list of your "named" sets, click on the one you want and your wearing that set. The items you were just wearing could be set (through the options menu) to either go onto the now empty mannequin or just drop into your bag space.

    This seems like an elegant solution to the issue of "gear" space, that would give players a means to increase space for this purpose as well as provide another income stream for ZOS. win/win

    To make this fully work though, ZOS would have to modify a similar (also already in game) feature. Just like when you take an "assignable" crafting station to the one you want to mimic...

    You will have to go to the shrines while wearing each weapon/gear loadout (at least the first time) and assign your skills and CP. Then just have the option to "tie" that particular build to that gear set at the "are you sure" button.

    Now when you "swap" to your named mannequin, it then swaps the gear and build instantly.

    Boom... Two major QOL issues addressed in one solution. :smile:

I mean come on, if you can get pots and food, and drinks to stack (not all do though) you can surely stack items that are exactly the same

    they aren't the same even with the same level - swords can have different damage conditions, traits, enchanting and charges, that is why they do not stack. the problem with going back to the bank is solvable by buying the banker - I think it is overpriced but then again it is one of the best investments I've made in the game, i'm using him several times each day with any character. A lot of people are using the merchant as well to free their character inventory of picked up trash right on the spot where they are -expensive as well, but eventually it would solve your problem.

    just to give an idea - with the banker and eso+ my characters have normally just about 40-50 slots in use and lots of free space to work with, everything else is in the bank and accessible everywhere by using the banker. Another advantage is that they don't have to carry much gold, I normally have less than 1000 on hand and all the rest is in the bank for all of them to use it, when needed.

    100% agreed that there is way too much rubbish stuff in the game.

    Bound on character crown stuff (very annoying but feels waste to delete it), festival stuff, museum stuff, blueprints, geodes (that don't stack, AARGH!!), surveys (multiple per region per craft, I only use them when I have 5+ of the same), treasure maps (I just delete those nowadays), master writs .. the list goes on and on and on.

    It also drives me crazy.
