Tackle Box

This may have been brought up before, but can we get a container in our inventory to store fishing lures/bait in? Even if it's only 5 slots, that would be a big improvement on inventory management. I get that you wouldn't jam 99 butterworms into a standard tackle box slot, so it could be limited in that regard or be restricted to just 5 lures a slot. It just seems a little ridiculous to have so much fishing gear bogging down your inventory.

Before, I thought this was an alright idea because I never actually dabbled with fisher. However, now that I've gotten Fisher to 50, they use a LOT of different types of bait for a LOT of different things.

Now, I don't think the tackle box should have any stats on it as that would throw off a lot, but I do think that having it stash away all of the bait would be stupendous!

It's been brought up before many many many times, going all the way back to 2.0 beta. They've never outright acknowledged it one way or the other in any of the many threads that exist for this topic except for a single dev post in a french thread, where the dev basically said, "There are no plans to ever implement something like this."

But yes. We need a tacklebox. It's ridiculous not to have one, and with the inclusion of a new housing NPC that will sell you every bait and lure type, continuing to ignore the issue is getting even more ridiculous.

The reason we don't have a tackle-box is the same reason we don't have more retainer/inventory space. YoshiP's talked about it a few times.

We won't get a tackle-box (or more inventory space in general) until they sort out the memory issues and such.

It has, indeed, been requested many times and subsequently denied :( but I'm not giving up hope. The "memory issues" seem to indeed be a reason so, how about this.... How about they use the memory needed for the job stones tab and just put the stones in a drop-down menu on the character screen somewhere? I seriously question the purpose/usefulness of that tab in our Armories whenever I click on it by accident.

Because the amount of memory needed for anything close to a usable tackle box is much much much much MUCH higher. This was mentioned during the NA FanFest iirc. The specific problem with the memory issue is that this game communicates with the server every 15 seconds about your various odds and ends. This is to prevent cheating through sending erroneous data to the server. But because this happens every 15 seconds the amount of data can't be too large or else infrastructure can't handle it. And increasing this buffer both makes cheating easier and rollbacks more of a problem. In GCD games especially rollbacks are not at all welcome. This is a long term project to make this system work better, but until that happens a tackle box is just straight impossible. So stop making threads on it.

Aw, was just about to think "Ah! This person is being nice for comprehensively explaining it" you had to end it in pissy tone. Shame....

Retainers.

$E wants you to buy 'em D:

Also lol at the "lack of space". I wouldn't take $E's word on it if I were you.

Sorry for being rude about it. It's just frustrating that people who seem to really really want something won't take the effort to research what the issue is, especially as it has been explained a lot by the devs. It gets tiring.

I'm sure the devs are all thrilled that you're getting frustrated and tired of us forum posters on their behalf. You can probably expect your special "Thank you for saving us!" trophy in the mail.

They did give us a reason: PS3's and even PS4's memory limitations.
