Tackle Box- Sign the Fisherman secondary tool petition!

[Mayh]

Yes, please!

Fishers need a tackle box. Just please don't over complicate attaining it.

This is such a good idea, I am constantly running out of inventory space due to all my fish.

It's not about physical disk space. If i'm not mistaken, an mmo server has to keep the whole thing in ram, and only writes out to disk when you logout or something similar. Or perhaps at certain time frames. I never said it was the space alone that was the issue, if you think so, you should re-read what I said.

It's more data, for all characters no less, that each server has to keep in memory, not to mention it adds a slight bit more overhead to everything since there's more data to parse through. Especially since this storage would be effectively on your character's person so to speak, ie not separated like retainers.

this is only true to an extent they do not actually run the entire game in memory they do however hold a queried set of data in memory and adjust it until such a time you log off where it is then saved again in the storage side. Now lets figure that SE went with a mid range data center, they are probably using a blade system for speed (as opposed to a rack or tower system) with mid teir server blades (think HP ProLiant460 series or higher), now I dont know how they coded it but with a server maximum set somewhere in the neighborhood of 6000 users online at a time while the rest sit in storage, that is at most if limited to a 25 item slot witha value of pulling an item ID and quantity value around 600 bytes or around 3.5MB in total if ALL 6000 characters online had 25 items sitting in their 25 item tackle box. Now a single mid range blade server will usually have 32GB of memory (while its more common to have them sitting at 64GB for corporate use) and I assume for an MMO architecture they went the higher end route as far as that to avoid rapid DB querying so that data in RAM for characters remains intact for a certain ammount of time in case of a relog in within a certain time. Now this is a single blade server, we know that these are in clusters and everything is not running on a single blade, now if they didnt shortcut like I said in my earlier post the characters data is going to be bumped around between the current blade housing the areas/zones (its quite expected that its split up this way since they can take individual zones down which they have done before) that you are standing in meaning at no point is everyones maximum 600 bytes is taking up space on a single blade. Now however if they shortcut it and had a specific single blade running the entire servers character data in ram and that cluster being effectively mass querying that single blade for every single item change that occurs (which is incredibly foolish and anyone with sense wouldnt do) then yes I would agree it would be hard onto the system. However I doubt any programmer would be that stupid to program a route that would have a cluster of blades all querying a single blade for every minute change as that would cause so many issues especially if that single blade is the one in the cluster that ends up having issues. But if this is the route they went they could simply ghost the blade onto a more powerful blade and upgrade the memory as its probably still running on the tech set put forward under assumption of a lot lower population count.

Seriously my most wanted feature after a year of having 1-2 inv tabs constantly full.

Signed!~

there have been a few threads about a tacklebox or baitbox.

[Toxsik]

Adding a Tackle box to off hand sounds like a great idea.

[Legacy_Wolfwood]

omg yes plz

Would also love to see Fishers able to use GP..... for something

[Gerolan]

100% signed! when I'm gathering or crafting I have to put all the bait back in retainer! which might be fine! then when you out in the world doing something like a real obscure location! notice fishing hole, then need to go back to retainer to get the bait.
A GP suggestion, use GP to target only one type of fish, 2min buff, would help when you need to do daily GC turnin or targeting fish to mooch on

Keep this going. I'd hate for this thread to lose steam. STILL no dev response though with over 120 likes on the OP. What gives SE?
