U56 Preview 3 Character Bank

[Karthunk]

Love the filters and tabs!

We need more space, PLEASE. Make it 60 slots for 595 and we might be getting somewhere. Give those that already purchased slots the upgraded 60 slots per purchase they made.

I would pay $100 to get rid of all of my mule characters.

Just as a benchmark for the future, here are my current storage requirements:

16 bank alts (80 slots per alt) = 1280
shared storage slots = 120
extra gear on main + 3 alts = 254

total: 1654

This is how many shared storage slots I would need to have to be able to hold all my spare gear currently. I expect this is a fairly modest number for an endgame player since I trash a fair amount of stuff. I also have yet to farm out IoD.

As others have pointed out, it would be great if the shared bank could eventually replace mules. I have far too many of them, and it's really annoying to have to log in/out of so many toons all the time. Having everything in a single shared bank would be a huge quality of life improvement. To be a viable replacement, there would have to be (at least) two changes:

1) We need far more than 8 tabs. 128 would be the minimum. Of course, that makes finding the right tab difficult, so you would have to add more features to the tabs, such as being able to reorder them. Being able to display longer names would also be helpful.

2) It costs 625 DP for a character slot. I can create an iconic and spend a short amount of time farming low level coin lord and kundarak quests for a total of 160 item slots. At 995 DP for 10 shared bank slots (much more than the 595 for 20 character bank slots), it would cost me 15,920 DP to replace a single mule. That isn't even close to being a viable alternative.

This looks more like a Diogenes Syndrome. Give some food to your starving sentient jewels xD

It still boggles the mind why they don't just do the MASSIVE quality of life change and give us, or sell for a reasonable price, a drastic increase in inventory space.

Instead we all have accounts full of mule accounts to get around this nonsense.

The sad thing here is that 95% or more is not spare gear, it is junk you will never ever use. Feed it to your sentient jewel or sell it. You will never miss it.

Not nearly enough.

*raises hand* Hi, I'm Jotmon and I'm an altaholic..

I have all 50 slots on my main account. I have degenerated from 12 playable toons to 3 with past life grinding.
This currently leave me with...
Main account - 47 alt mule accounts most of which have completed TR lives to some extent, max storage favor/purchased and TR caches for storage.
(281 slots+tr cache/toon x 47 = approx 15,000 slots)
a multitude of Colossal, gargantuan and other assorted bags. Max crafting storage , Max shared bank, also have alt accounts and alt guild ships.

adding a 20 tab of storage to an archaic system just does not cut it.
Players have been griping about poor storage for as long as I have played the game (14 years for me) and all we get is peacemeal additions to an already subpar banking system.
We need a real storage location and a real management interface for that centralized storage.


I am looking for a centralized account storage vault that allows me to consolidate all my non-BTC items on my account.
A nice management interface like the Auction house window that allows me to search/sort/filter by level, short text search, categories, etc...
A place that I can empty all my bags into, centralize all my non-BTC items, cosmetics, crafting items, augments, etc... all to be pooled into 1 location that is accessible across my account.
Not some bs 20 slot addition, I am looking to accommodate 20,000+ items...

We keep adding alt toons to store the additional items we cumulatively obtain over the years and end up spreading it all around the place instead of centralizing it.
I want to be able to burn my alt toons and extra storage spaces I have already purchased on alt mules an redirect it to expand a centralized storage vault.
Let me destroy purchased alt character slots and storage space purchased on those alt toons to expand the centralized storage space.


Perhaps it could be implemented as the groundwork for player housing...
Whatever the process.. enough with the bs patchwork nickel and dime additions and implement a large account based storage vault with a useful access interface.

from 2019....

I think I may have too many mules...





I would be happy to delete most of these mules if we had a decent loot storage system to consolidate my loot instead of dispersing it across a multitude of mules.

I have deleted the overflow over the last couple years, down to 50 of 50 currently.


Mules are effective for storage, but it is such a pita spreading out loot across mule toons.
SSG continues to shortcut storage by adding more incomplete subpar storage mediums that nickel and dime players for token additions of space.
Every expansion/pack addition adds more items, but the loot additions exponentially outpace player storage space.

I really don't think its unreasonable to store 1 of each expansion item given that ransack exists

[DRoark]

Not a fan. The old personal bank tabs let you organize everything in neat rows, and you could put things exactly
where you wanted to place them. Now we have another "list of junk", instead of the slab.

I know they have programming reasons they did that, but that was a convenient aspect of the old bank.
