Is it time we had another free retainer?

[Mahoukenshi]

It would be ironic if your average player would handle as much materials as I do, but that's not the case. Hence why 560 slots is generous for any player who's not into dominating a server/DC's entire marketboard or handling a couple dozen of houses. Additional storage beyond that point is merely for convenience, lazy players or those with ADHD, who must have their items sorted a certain way. I guess you didn't see the subtle difference.



Why spend thousands when I can spend less than 100$ darling? Housing is a profitable investment, so I don't think you are in any position to tell me what is and what isn't a waste of time, when you chose Botanist as your main class on here. Since you obviously didn't know, DOLs are the epitome of wasting time.

I know it might be hard to grasp the concept, but you people might want to start appreciating what is given to you instead of whining constantly. If you lack inventory space, stop keeping every useless item the game throws at you. Don't want to? Use an FC chest. Don't want to? Use an alt. Don't want to? Spend 2$ and get yourself an additional retainer.

LOL. Nice brown-nosing skills, you have here, champ. How much did you get paid?
At topic: I'd take GW2s material storage in a heartbeat + their or BnS glamor preview feature (but without their integrated cash-shop)

If it was generous, there wouldn't be any paid for additional retainers, because it wouldn't be necessary.

The irony still stands that you were talking about how easy it is to maintain storage space yet and how generous the storage is, yet also at the same time mention that not just additional retainers but an additional account entirely is required for managing "proper" inventory limitations.



I know it might be hard to grasp the concept, but these forums are for players to give feedback and have discussions.

Players are well within their rights to bring up any percieved issue they might have, no matter how relevant it might actually be.

It's up to SE to decide whether it's merely "Whining" or if it has merit. Not some random whale with a holier than thou attitude.

Re-read what I said regarding the purpose of retainers, I think you skipped it out of anger.

My situation is beyond your level of comprehension, obviously. Hopefully you'll understand this time. When you dominate certain corners of the marketboard, across an entire data center, while also handling a couple hundred submarines, you are bound to run into inventory issues if you do not have more than 2 retainers. You on the other hand, you purposely hold on to items you don't even use regularly. There's really no need to lie to yourself about it.

I know the game is doing a poor job at handling items since you cannot even use the mog mail to send messages to a character on the same service account. Hence why anyone who's heavily into marketboard pvp will benefit from having at least two service accounts in order to avoid jumping from an FC to another or having a friend involved with item trading as necessary. That problem is far more inconvenient and relevant in comparison to someone who holds on to every item they can, just to complain that they don't have enough inventory space.

You want a discussion, you're having one right now instead of everyone agreeing, because all they want is to save 2$/month. Thanks for your kind words, it really speaks about your state of mind at the time and I can't help but laugh.

Feel free to put an end to your multiple service accounts and return all those homes you've taken from the community so you can start appreciating what is given to you instead of whining constantly on this thread.

Literally who are you again?

Because you can be rude and wave your houses about in your sig all you like here, but no one really cares. Whereas they might care in F2P's where your wealth had a use. Just a suggestion. Things like:

Were hilarious to read but, seriously, come off it xD

You don't need to gather everything to fill your inventory in there. I totally filled mine in one trip because I was mining, picking flowers, and killing something every time I got a big gun bar. Usually the same something because I was gathering mats to level my crafters 60-80 the times this happened - because it was more than once. I've had to leave early at least twice purely because my bag got full

I spent like two hours cleaning and reorganizing my THREE retainers just to be able to actually spend the three hours in Diadem without worrying about my bag being completely full.

almost all the items you get from enemies which are not sprites are worthless low level stuff which won't give you any points, just shoot the sprites and discard the trash if you have to shoot anything else and only use 1 class on a single trip.

More than more retainer I would like to have some overhaul for specific types of items. I have 6 retainers, 2 of them are just for housing items (and most of them are from seasonal events). Just having separate chest for furnishings alone can save the day.

Also I do like the way crafting works now (it is quite immersive), but with new expansions incoming there're just too much materials. I, myself, only gather what I need in nearest future (except some time restricted nodes), but I can imagine the absolute mess in retainers' bags and pain of players who craft on daily basis and always need a variety of materials at hand. I don't think there's a need for reducing variety of them, but maybe it's prossible to arrange something like a special store box for them, even if only in Inn room (considering we can't have dresser in housing)?

Also, all the Trial tokens, Raids parts, Materia Clusters... please, please, can we have them as part of "Currency" tab?

I'm not after points, I was leveling all of my crafting classes and both miner and botanist it shouldn't be an issue now that I've got the crafters all at 80, but it was definitely an issue when I was actually using almost all of those materials.

then you should have levelled 1 class at a time and then discarded all the leftover items and then collect them again once you need them for another class.

Why though? That just means spending even more time gathering later instead of crafting or doing anything else I'd rather be doing. I don't care about points, but the scrips were also a nice bonus because I do want the glamours and dyes. I've been trading or selling everything I didn't use and I've made back all the money I spent on crafter gear while leveling. And got to just sit and spend a few hours doing nothing but crafting my way up to 80, because I already had all of the materials I needed.

My point was that it's definitely possible to fill your inventory entirely in a run of Diadem, depending on what you're after and what your priorities are. I had to do a lot of cleaning and juggling to make it work, but it did work for me. /Shrug

This almost has the same hilarious intensity of the navy seal copy pasta

With the current retainer interface, just two is way too much work.
They need a single menu, with instant switching between them at any level. No dialogs, quit from any level, craft from retainer inventory, drag/drop materials between retainers and bags.
