Announcing the Blight, Metamorph and Delirium Stash Tabs

Agreed. To be perfectly honest I am really struggling hard in Standard with all of the tabs that aren't "remove only" to play on a daily basis.

I only just had enough tabs last league with all the quads that I have and the dedicated "specialist" ones that I bought over time. Most of my quads were filled with various forms of "currency" or "crafting mats" that I was already upset about not fitting into the specialist "currency/crafting mats" tabs that I had already paid for in the past. I haven't minded giving GGG money (ON MY TERMS) in the past at all, but I won't be taken for a mug, regardless of any "future plans" posts made within days to try and blow smoke.


Anyway, I won't go on about that again though, as I already posted my disgust on that.

My point (yes, there is one) is that there is absolutely no way that a "new" account could play this game, even with the "starter" pack alone. The only way would be to play on a uber strict filter and vendor pretty much everything picked up.

It's a far cry from being a true f2p these days. If any of the W. Knights doubt that, then I challenge you to create a new second account and play a league through levelling a toon up to late 90's WITHOUT buying any extra tabs.

They should add a FTP (free to play) league where nothing that costs points applies. Then we could have a real metric for seeing how playable the game really is for free.

Talk about challenge.

yall getting greedy ggg watch it now - these tabs should really be a part of the core game

I just bought Persona 4 Golden for $20 and I'm supposed to be excited and happy about paying $10 for 3 stash tabs. No thanks

pls allow upgrade 4 tabs to quad.
btw those new are useless. i would buy if it helps me, but quad for 120p will do better job...

Another stash tabs, another money, another tabs on list, this be better if GGG connect tabs, because is to looooong list of tabs. And i Beg you GGG better idea is do bigger inventory or add another tab IN INVENTORY. Because is to small, 3-4 armours or weapons few currency and players full..

This is absolutly bullshit!

1- I already bought a fragment tab, why cant i put those fragments there?

2- I already bought a currency tab, why cant i put those currencies there?

3 -I already bought a map tab, why cant i put those blight maps there?


I'm getting tired of this...

I think GGGT is playing this pretty smart so far.

After the shitstorm they dropped a lot of news with promises on how to improve xyz, to cause as much distraction as possible. I wouldn't be too surprised if they just let grass grow over this because as time goes by, people forget or become less angry about it and will eventually buy their products again.

All pointless especially the Delirium tab. You wont find enough shards/orbs this league to warrant wasting money to buy that tab unless they're planning to buff the crap out of drop rates. GGG could've easily implement that into an existing tab but they're too damn greedy for that $4. Also please give us an option to combined 4 prem stash into one quad stash.

That's exactly what they're doing. People are sheep.

Oh. That's where all that tabs buzz originating from.

I have an idea for next League for you.

Jigsaw puzzles.

No, really. Jigsaw Puzzles. We got farming simulator and Pokemon themed leagues - why not degrade further with 3-in-a-row and jigsaw puzzles?

The Idea

To progress through League-specific content, you have to combine, let's say, 25x25 (no less, see below) puzzles.

Each puzzle piece is unique and has be placed into its proper place, like Harbinger Unique item fragments had to.

Using Conquest of Atlas scheme as example of relevant item usage x tiers distribution, let's say there will be 15 puzzles total. (4 transition puzzles + 1 boss puzzle) x three tiers.

Each puzzle is unique - so is each puzzle piece. Puzzle fragments from one puzzle are not interchangeable with fragments from any other puzzle.

Twist #1

There will be 25 * 25 * 15 = 9375 (nine thousands three hundred seventy five dammit!) absolutely unique items to gather for players.

It literally BEGS for a separate stash tab.

Each particular tab will hold only fragments from single particular puzzle, due to its size (25 * 25).
So end user will have to either buy 15 Puzzle Tab or suffer!
Aaaaaand, it can still be advertised as 'noooooo, you only need one tab!' (and priced as such. As Premium Quad tab, I guess, due to its sheer size...)

Twist #2

Do not auto-assemble puzzle pieces into complete puzzle at Puzzle Fragments tab.

Ever.

If I remember correctly, current Inventory size is 5 * 10-something and default non-premium stash tab is like 16 * 16. It won't fit whole puzzle inside!

Sooooooo, to assemble the puzzle you'll gonna buy Premium Quad Tab!

Of course it will remain completely optional and unrelated and stuff.
Because instead of actually buying Quad Premium tab and transferring all puzzle pieces for assembling in 25 * 25 = 625 clicks total, alone, the player who was foolish enough to buy such tab (or keep the loose fragments in other tabs) can ask the player who DO have Premium Quad Tab for help, bringing total quantity of clicks to assemble single puzzle to at least 25 * 25 * 3 = 1875 clicks total, together!

Imagine these poor players' cringe...

Twist #3

Make assembled puzzle's size 2 * 2 while in Map Device (because everything ends up im Map Device eventually) - and 5 * 5 everywhere else.

Did I mentioned that assembled puzzles are not stackable?

EVEN with 15 tabs for puzzle fragment keeping and 1 Quad Premium tab for puzzle assembling, you'll still need some place to store them.

It was assembled from 625 unique pieces, ladies and gentlemen, so it have to be huge!

Unfortunately, we can't make it more than 5 * 5 as it will require increazing character inventory size OR allowing sticking puzzles into Map Device from Stash (did we mentioned that you can't use assembled puzzles from Stash) since it'll reduce abovementioned cringe which will impact sales.

We will not push the idea of separate stash tabs for assembled puzzles: it's enough that puzzles will clutter usual tabs above all measure, thus stimulating getting extra space.

Bonus points for Extra Evil Ending

All text above assumes that 1 puzzle piece takes 1 * 1 cell in inventory/stash - and it caused so much frustration and compulsive purchasing already.

Imagine what will gonna happen if we'll make puzzle pieces Tetromino figure shaped.

Secret True Ending

Start with 1 * 1 puzzle piece size.

Then, spread the rumor that due to GREAT FEEDBACK and HIGH APPRECIATION from players, next League will use same mechanics - but with Tetromino figures (and double Puzzles quantity).

One League later - Pentamino (and make all current Puzzles legacy, doubling amount of Puzzle Fragment tabs prospective player needs again).

One League later - introduce Double Puzzle Tab, with effective size being 25 * 50 .

And only then...

...introduce Premium Puzzle Piece Tabs which will have puzzle pieces sorted.

You know, like Essense tab with its neat gradient x type x tier sorting.

But for puzzle.

Non-Premium tab will hold pieces from single particular puzzle assorted, requiring manual sorting, but Premium Puzzle Piece Tab will sort it for you, yessir!

(but it won't have any real impact on anything except customer's wallet at that moment since even 1 * 1 puzzle pieces are hard to keep in sorted order during Stash -> Inventory transition in batches of 50 - and even worse with pentamino-shaped pieces - and it's bound to become even less sorted during transition to Premium Double Quad Stash Tab (which, of course, will become available for purchase right before that League's start, as a matter of completely unrelated fact) for actual assembling...)

And only then, overhaul it, making current sets of puzzles Legacy and doubling amount of tabs prospecting player will gonna need!
