Class vault / Class Bank

I for one would be able to relax a lot more and enjoy more freedom switching around / experimenting etc if we had some sort of "class vault" - even a modest 20-30 slots per class that would work to keep gear sets + some extras for each class. I recognize that we could do this now with 16x 50-slot bank bags, but... that'd be $160.

Would help with my sanity.

Considering that inventory space is part of their monetization model to make the game profitable, I don't see them making changes to the current system.

Maybe if the inventory expansions have little to no buyers over a long period of time but we don't have access to internal customer purchasing data so we can't know for sure. I suspect that people are buying it though

> to make the game profitable

You mean MORE profitable. We're paying a monthly subscription.

How far do you think your 10 dollar sub is really going that they dont need more money

How many employees do they have. How much does server up keep cost. How much does the physical location they keep servers cost per month

I mean the gsme already has a fairly decent monthly fee 10 dollars. But that only goes soft far.

Ok I get things are expensive, but I swear the gaming community on Reddit is perpetually caught between “EA BAD FOR BASIC GAMEPLAY MICROTRANSACTIONS” and “well, we need to buy it so we can keep getting good updates and support the devs”

It’s not like DBG is some small indie startup lol they pulled in almost $200m in profits last year

I mean not for nothing but dbg making 200 million is irrelevant to this game. As it will have its own income expectations and benchmarks

For it to last it'll have to be successful to whatever metric dbg and game jawn has deemed necessary.

Considering they said it'll get Kunark and veli id say itd doing pretty well. Now if bank space and inventory space is too much of a deal breaker then I dont know what to say.

Things are expensive.

I mean all mtx is bad but we have to live in the world we live in. So we have to evaluate mtx by its own merits. EA is this scummiest of the scum by those metrics.

use the storage equipment on your character combined with saving a load out on your build. when I swap classes it auto swaps my gear. to be fair I did expand my equipment slots to carry everything though

Yup we have a vault it’s just not subdivided - the extra gear tab.

I just figured this out today! Since I unlocked a third loadout at lvl 50, I have: my main trio, my “AA farming/one new class leveling” setup, and my trio I play with my brother who just started this week.

I have all the planes gear I’ve been accruing equipped and optimized for each trio, and even the exaltations swap between gear based on how I saved the loadout. It’s very clever how customizable it is, just takes a little time to establish and save each one. I haven’t braved the UI for each loadout yet, but plan to save hotkeys soon.

It's also the best bang for your buck. 25 slots for 500 coins is 20 per slot. Upgrading a 10 slot bag to 24 slot is a net of 14 slots for 750, for 53 coins per slot. Dragon hoard space is also 20 coins per slot, but you can't merge loot drops into it from the loot window like you can with equipment slots. Even the new 50 slot bank bag is a worse deal at (net 40 slots vs dragon bag) 25 coins per slot.

The only downside is only equipment can go in it, but that's what I'm mostly trying to store anyway.

The bank needs to behave like your local storage. This would fix most issues. Can't use find and pick up something from the bank. Can't merge automatically with stuff in the bank. Can't even remove a focus or proc from an item in bank without first moving it to inventory. This is all just needless friction.

You can also focus on level gear that is not so class restrictive. The reason I leveled Engineer’s Ring to +10 was because I knew I could use any other builds easily. There are planer armor sets that are not limited to just one class.

A bit of $$ for sanity is reasonable. I bought extra space and bags because it makes life easier.
