3rd Retainer by Default, please?

[Grekumah]

While there are no concrete details pertaining to inventory management at this time, the development team is constantly monitoring the amount of inventory space in comparison with the amount of items added in each update. The dev. team continues looking for ways to increase the amount of items players can store through various methods, including increasing the maximum number of retainers a player can hire.

Short version: We're doing a thing.

I would actually translate that message as: "It's fine, L2P."

Actually, it's more like "we're thinking about doing a thing if we feel you actually need to store more stuff."

What I really want to see is an "Equipment Guide" similar to the Fish Guide where, when you acquire an item from dungeon loot, the item appears in the guide, and then you can cast glamours from the guide (still consuming glamour prisms of course) without needing the actual item. This should consume even less space than expanding the armoire (if that's even possible), since the actual item would not be retrievable in any way. That would be really neat and solve all my space concern issues.

Personally, I had one retainer with nothing on them except 170+ untradeable equipment items for glamour in case I ever wanted one for an outfit. Re-farming a specific dungeon for a specific drop is annoying, and I can't get a list of items I do not have to use the "Try On" feature with if the item is untradeable (tradeable items can be tried-on via searches on the Market Board). I recently had to go through and remove items I'm unlikely to use for glamour, or that were principally reskins of an item that there was a dyeable version of, but if I find out later that I wanted one for a look, I'll be pretty sad.

That I'd love to see. Either where all gear we get is recorded and we use a glamour prism to apply the look to other gear, or where we use a glamour prism to store the image in that guide and can then freely apply its images to gear whenever we want. (The former gives us a wider range of looks to use, whereas the later enables people to freely swap around between different looks they like to suit their current mood/job/activity. But either would get all the excess gear we're keeping just for glamours out of our inventory space.)

The important message here is it could have been "XYZ reason we aren't doing a thing."

I'm curious to know how it's all calculated. If you're using a flat calc to determine the "average" inventory of most players I propose this is not the best way to determine current needs. I have several 4* crafter friends whose inventories are empty. If their inventories are empty or nearly so then my assumption would be that there would be others too. If this is the case then would it be possible to use a different system in order to maximize storage across all players and move storage slots around so as to expand overall storage? The end game player would never see any of this "movement" but could the servers adjust in order to maximize all slots across all players?

A good start would be getting rid of the limitation known as the PS3. Tired of the excuses at this point.

yeah they should give us 3 and 4th retainer free with purchase of expansion totally agree

Because servers don't cost money to run at all do they?

The paid price for the extra retainers pays for the server cost, and I don't disagree with the cost because you can get by with only two retainers.
