Nice try but your attempt to twist the meaning of what the devs actually said has failed miserably.

The devs have always said they would like to do power customization, and as soon as they had the time and resources they gave it to us just like they said they would. They never said it wasn't going to happen.

Temp power recipes are dirt cheap, and drop so often that people have been begging the devs to change the drop rate so they drop less frequently.

There is a huge difference between the devs saying, "We'd like to do this but it will require a lot of time and resources" and "It would take years and look stupid."

Not relevant. Other players are collecting and storing them and their paying millions to get them. They will always exist in collections unless the devs choose to remove them completely from the game.

No, your suggestion was specifically about increasing individual character storage at the Vault, and your own words shows that you weren't concerned with base salvage storage amounts. You were focused on getting more enhancement and recipe storage.

Of course you also conveniently overlooked the fact that both recipes and enhancements can be stored in market transaction slots as well as temporarily in emails.

You seem to do a lot of that. Ignore facts that weaken your argument.

Just like here where you're still ignoring the fact that we used to be able to store 2500 CC salvage and stacks of 99 of each of the 4 costume salvages.

No matter how you do the math 30 is less than 2500 and 396 (that's 99x4).

No you made it perfectly clear in your suggestion you were talking about more than Invention storage.

You only fixated on Base Salvage Bin Storage amounts because I mentioned that the devs reduced the base salvage bin storage amount when I13 went live and after I pointed out that the email feature has made it easier for us to store thousands of items on other characeters on our accounts.


So just suggest that the devs increase the number of items we can send per email.



Edit:

Still don't see where you get that idea from. We went from being able to store 2500 Candy Canes, Base Salvage, Base Components, and stacks of 99 of each Halloween Salvage to only 30 items of salvage total.

Base Salvage and Components were not removed from the game. They are still being bought and sold on the market by collectors, and they still can be stored in base salvage bins.

Hence the last line in my post



I still want to see them remove the ability to pull enhancements off of builds if not for anything else but the cries of nerdrage and teeth gnashing we'd see on the forums.

Yep. It's called reading the rules. That doesn't mean we can't make suggestions tho.

No it didn't. Bases can only have 18 storage bins and no matter how you do the math we have less base storage now than before I13.

One pre-I13 salvage bin held more items than 18 of our current largest SG storage bins.

The most any bin can hold is 100 items, and that's either an Enahncement or Inspiration bin.

18 of them hold 1800 items.

Pre-I13 Salvage bin held 2,500 items.

2,500>1800

Bases today store less items than they did prior to I13.

Now that's an outright lie.

Base storage bins were not limited to base salvage. They also held Special and Event salvage. Candy Canes, Halloween Costume Salvage, Access Bypass's, and Prototype Elements all of which takes up the same number of slots they do in todays limited salvage racks.

We all want more storage. I said that in my first response and wished you the best of luck with this suggesti, but pointing out what the devs have done instead of increasing individual character storage does not mean we don't want more storage. And pointing out that the arguments your using to justify this suggestion are flawed also does not mean we don't want more storage.

I was thinking that people would have to spend more inf on buying SO's/HO's and crafting new IO enhancements for secondary builds and new characters rather than burning respecs to pull them off of builds to reuse them.

I also think that it's possible it might cause a drop in prices on the market because people may be less willing to spend hundreds of millions on items that they can't recycle. So sellers could be forced to lower their prices.

Of course this is just wild speculation on my part.

I don't think it makes the devs sound like authoritarian jerks. I think it demonstrates that they wanted to encourage people to put more salvage on the market rather than hoarding it in limbo indefinitely.

Seriously? You're claiming you don't understand that concept? You go look at any game and you will find that the devs tell the players what they can and can't do.

There isn't an issue. Just a refusal to use what we already have available and make the effort of keeping track of what is being stored where.

Even at level 20 we still have thousands of slots. Your unwillingness to use them doesn't make them go away.


Edit: Also I find it hilarious that you have the gall to tell me I can't use numbers for level 50's when you yourself said

The only characters that can hold 50 items in their vault are of levels 45-50.

Yes it's been suggested before and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone that doesn't want more storage. However the devs seem to be dead set against it, and have done things in game to actually reduce the amount of storage we have especially when it comes to Salvage.

We used to be able to store 2,500 pieces of salvage in SG salvage storage bins. They dropped it to 30.

The devs also gave us the ability to email items to our own characters they gave us the ability to store tons of stuff on our accounts. Using badges, vet reward, and temp powers each character can carry roughly

Inspiration slots - 20
Invention Salvage slots - 65
Recipe Slots - 25
CH Transaction slots - 22 which can hold stacks of 10 recipes and salvage for a total of 220
Vault - 50

Email - 20 global slots

So if you multiply those number by the number of characters slots we can have on an account

NA Account (144-396 characters)

Inspiration slots - 2,880/7,920
Invention Salvage slots - 9,360/25,740
Recipe Slots - 3,600/9,900
CH Transaction slots - 3,168/8,712 (then in stacks of 10) 31,680/87,120
Vault - 7,200/19,800

Even on an EU Account (48-144 characters) players have the ability to store thousands of items.

So your telling the devs you have used all of the thousands of storage slots you have available on your account. I don't think that they are going to believe that.

But best of luck with this. I always want more storage.

Thanks.

I had to laugh when the card crashed (no point getting mad over a mechanical failure) because I had been planning ahead to farm for Winter's Gift recipes and sell them later in the year when they weren't available. Anyway the day the Winter Event started was when the card died on me.

Oh well, I can still do it next year, and now that I have to replace my 8800GTS I've decided to look at this as a good thing. So I'm looking forward to getting a video card that can play Ultra Mode and I've also been toying with the idea of just replacing the whole tower. In either case it'll be a couple months before I save up enough money.

If you have more than you know what to do with I will happily take it off your hands and convert it to prestige for some new bases.


(As soon as I get a new video card so I can play again.)

That really has nothing to do with it. He was promoted for his actions.

Oh so since you don't like the answer, now you want to change the question.

Your military experience is at least equal to mine and could possibly be greater since you were in for 10 years so if I could find those examples using google so could you.

Because the devs already responded that it would be too much work and it would look stupid. Pretty much the same reason they gave for why we won't be getting an underwater zone.

So you guys can get mad at us all you want, call us unimaginative, whatever helps you vent your frustration. The devs already made up their minds on this.

Sure here's a few names for you.

Stephan Decatur became the youngest Captain in the U.S. Navy at age 25

Brigadier General Frederick Castle, age 29

Major-General James M. Gavin, GOC US 82nd Airborne Division age 37

General Elwood Quesada age 40.

Army Air Corps General, Curtis LaMay age 38

Rear Admiral Elmo Russell Zumwalt, Jr. age 44

Brig. Gen Richard C. Sanders age 28

And if adding anchor points just where it makes sense is more work than the devs can justify doing, just imagine how much more work it would be to add anchor points to nowhere in every map of the game so players could swing everywhere.

None of the current inf sinks are very effective. If the sink is too steep, like the base Inf to Prestige conversion rate (1,000,000 inf for 2,000 prestige), people just don't use them.

All that will do is drive players away from using bases (mostly solo players). I didn't bother with bases at all until they made the smallest plot rent free. And that was back when they were actually needed for storage and transportation.

These days we can get around the zones just as fast in not faster than we can using a base for transportation and with the new email feature we can store more stuff on my characters than we can in any base.

As long as the inf sinks do not exceed the amount of inf being generated inflation will continue to rise.
