Feel free to skip this if you don't want to read a semi-rant, I think I make some good points though.
I played frequently a year ago and have a few hundred dollars invested into the game, but I have logged in less and less lately since Halloween mainly because of one problem... the loot. Organizing loot just drains me and kills all my enthusiasm.
I have some ungodly number of stash spaces, it feels like hundreds, and it's cumbersome to organize it all. I can spend hours sorting through it, manually deleting things and consolidating and converting it into other things, trying to just free up room to play. I need to scrutinize every cosmic medallion to see which one is really better, every artifact, every unique, every core that I might need on a future hero, and the game only lets me focus on ONE stash space at a time, and my limited inventory that's usually taken up by 50% relics and other items that get auto-looted every time I kill something. I don't want to keep spreadsheets to help me remember where everything is.
To make matters worse, I can spend an hour clearing out an entire stash space or two to make room and fill it up immediately after 5 minutes in a cosmic patrol zone, making me just want to log off rather than deal with it.
Small improvements keep getting made, like the craft stashes going away.... but we're still in the same boat of swimming in gear that has to be continually micromanaged and converted into other currency types.
I'd really like it if uniforms just didn't take up stash space at all.... they need to have a tab outside of our inventory we can scroll through, We paid for them, we shouldn't have to pay just to store them.
I'd really like it if relics didn't take up space, there's no reason they should take up 1/3rd of my inventory for my entire game life. They should be a currency, where we can just go to a character and adjust a slider bar to decide who gets what relics at any given time.
I'd like it if my actual inventory space was larger, so I don't have to go back to my stash and reorganize after every boss wave.
I'd like it if more boxes stacked
I'd really like it if I could have several stash tabs open at once. Stash tabs take up like 5% of my screen real estate, I can comfortably fit 4-8 of without sacrificing the UI and it would make inventory management much less of a chore.
I'd like it all stash spaces were equal, and loot could go anywhere, even in hero-specific stashes, because I get sick of having to continually use workarounds like making a hero wear something so it's bound to him just so I can remove the binding later to give it to somebody else. Too many trivial items are bound to specific heroes for no reason in this game, it's creating problems that don't need exist.
Ok that's my gripe. I want to play and have fun, does anybody really enjoy the inventory tetris aspect and want it to stay the way it is?
