Boss explains why you have so little space for loot, reaping confusion and ridicule

earthpressnews

Diablo 4 players have been dealing with full pockets for weeks. Blizzard recently promised a fix, and now one of the bosses has explained why it didn’t come sooner. But he meets with incomprehension.

What’s the deal with storage space?

  • Since the release of Diablo 4, players have complained about not enough space. With Season 1, the problem got even worse.
  • In addition to the inventory, you have a total of 4 tabs in your loot chest, each with 50 slots.
  • Players have suspected that this is because Blizzard wants to sell chest slots through the shop in later seasons. But there is obviously something else behind it.

    • Therefore there is no more storage space: Blizzard announced in the last Campfire chat that you will get another chest tab with the upcoming patch 1.1.1. Players then asked: why not sooner?

    Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora responded to this question on Twitter. He says this is because the system is very extensive and needed further explanation of the statement:

    If you see another player in game, load up their entire loot chest with all items. The teams are working diligently so that we can add more as soon as possible [Platz] can have. In principle, this is not a storage problem, but a performance problem.

    The statement caused a lot of head shaking from the community and confusion as to how such an interaction could even happen.

    “That’s why we need a solo mode”

    In the reactions on Twitter, users wonder why you would even have to load another player’s entire loot chest just by seeing them. Trade can hardly be the reason, because trading items is extremely limited.

    And even if it did, it would have been enough to simply install a “lazy loading” system that only works when you initiate a trade. Other games like WoW would also manage to hit players without having to load their entire bank.

    For many users, this seems like an overlooked problem that was carried over from Diablo 3 and that could have been avoided with a little thought or outsourcing. External developers would have noticed something like this immediately.

    Others use the opportunity to draw attention to the fact that you need a solo mode for exactly that. At least for the eternal realm, which has been less busy since the seasons. However, even a solo mode would only fix this problem for solo players.

    Diablo 4 and especially Season 1 are currently facing strong criticism. The game apparently turns friends into enemies:
