Almost everything was changed from stacking to 12 to stacking to 99. Except for food. Why is this? I'm getting so much food from gathering leves (which must suck for CULs) that I don't know what to do with it all. I am going to have to open a stall in the grocer's ward or even NPC it. I'm not sure giving more food than one can use is a good idea, especially when it doesn't even stack to 99.
Why does food not stack to 99?

If food stacked to 99 i would be an even fatter taru (lala)!
Meh it would be nice, but i could live without it, long as they continue to stack in 12. -

One thing I'd like to see stack to 99 are things like Raisins? Small foods and sweets that it would make sense for. Stacks of 99 pies would be silly, but having to carry several stacks of small mage foods is ridiculous.
Maybe we'll see this seen to when they re-arrange recipes. -

I get food as my leve rewards and then the chests give me a stack too. I don't know if it's just a lucky set of leves but the amount I've gotten from 3 leves is ridiculous.

Some food, yeah.. Like cookies. Make cookies stack to 99.
But for larger items, like dodo steaks or whatnot...stacking to 99...it'd be hard to balance a stack that high. -

I'm pretty sure it is all consumables. Potions do not stack to 99 either I think.
-
07-27-2011, 08:21 AMOscillate_WildlyNope, potions and ethers only stack to 12, but they're damned useless right now anyway so even taking up that 1 spot, they're a waste of space.Quote:

We forwarded your suggestion along and the team let us know that they will look into the possibility of increasing the stack size of food in the future.
Hmm...but bikini season is coming... /panic -

Food lasts 30 minutes. If you are doing a leve that somehow even takes the full 30 it isn't like those extra 98 food are doing you any good. No real reason not to stack them, IMO.
Same logic really can go for potions too. They are so marginally useful, having 99 isn't really going to break anything. I promise you'll be dead before you can use them all if you happen to find yourself in the rare situation in which a potion/ether is needed. -
07-28-2011, 07:14 AMRimmerThey could easily fix potions and ethers with a global cooldown to prevent spammage anyway if it became a problem.Quote:

stacking comes from the idea of trying to save space. Like as it stands now if I have 99 logs, I"m better off holding onto those 99 logs because by converting them into planks or lumber I'll be losing space. In the same instance if you have 99 mats for ingredients for food and make it you have 12 a space which would become like 9 inventory slots taken up, even if you are synthing a food that uses 8 ingredients and you use them all up you won't be saving space since they don't stack.
I think what they should consider for items is perhaps this tier of cap on inventory items.
For gathered items I would propose keeping that at 99
As for things like planks and thread I believe it should be a 255-500 cap
Weapons of course single
Food should be 99 just because of mass production and accessibility of actually being able to store it properly.
However, if they don't want to do that then I think a nice balance woul dbe perhaps being given the option to buy a "gather specific" bag that can stack more of said item per inv slot to at least help those that gather. As a botanist even when I focus purely on gathering logs/branches/feathers, my inv is still cluttered after logging within the same area.
If that doesn't sound feesible then another suggestion I have is perhaps having it so something like
log
log +1
log +2
log +3
can instead be
Name:00:+1:+2:+3:Cap
Log:::23:05:07:10::45/99
I don't think it would be hard to implement the above when people choose what HQ they want to use they can just hover over the item, then click on the 23, 5, 7 or 10. and they'll use that HQ of the mat or perhaps just the NQ.
If the community reps can shed any light on how they possibly plan to alleviate the issues with inventory space even now, I hope it's not just increasing inv cap, since you can only go so far with that. I think it would be better to try an implement something that I suggested cause at least then 10 materials that have a variable of 4 quality would take up 10 spaces instead of 40. -
