@dragonagelore: i know this is 7 months old, but holy hell your response ignorant af.
1. consoles are bargain bin pc. the hardware is literally that. because the market for console devices is below $500.. you get what you pay for. period. they still use hard drives ffs. their fov and framerates are potato. they can't render a game world properly without making huge compromises, so devs have to work around that. period. and that is in fact why dev teams are waiting for consoles to catch up to whatever you wanna call "next gen" (the next console gen will always have been on PC for well over 2 years, and not exceptional)
2. number of skyrim copies sold on consoles (plural)... great argument. if you completely ignore the part where a pc player doesn't need to buy a new copy of the same game every time a new console comes out. that's what a fool does. a fool also defends consoles, illogically. you're like a dog chained to a post, and you think you have the same freedoms as any dog not chained up.
you really burned me a new one with those sales figures, guy....
@jsprunk: this is not commonly known, but easily witness and verified... they also have set a short lifespan for each "server". what they're doing is after a period of time, a server is flagged for depopulation... the player count will only go down after that point. many players will leave naturally, but no new players will be sent there from the game. not even friends will be able to join it. and some hours later all the players remaining will be disconnected.
@Oren76: the loot being dropped on the ground when the stash can't hold it. that loot is causing the servers to be unstable. Bethesda should code the game to delete those. that would allow us to have more stash, since the ratio of items stashed vs items dropped is not even close. you drop several thousand steel and various other junk after 1 hour of play, everyone else on the server does the same... the server is not stable. the stash isn't the biggest culprit/factor. Bethesda hasn't spoke about those brown bags with dropped loot.
@jsprunk: perks can reduce carry weight by 75-90% for food/water/medicines/ammo/etc, so they can carry 10x more items than stashing it.
you can carry 400+ weight in the excavator armor... attempting to place that 400 pounds into stash would weigh 4000 in the stash, because the perks don't apply to the stash, because reasons...
i don't advise carrying around junk, since it drops on death, and can be stolen by players.
i only stash junk, and one of every outfit for no particular reason.
dropping excess junk/loot you can't store will destabilize the server and cause it to crash eventually, because Bethesda doesn't know how to delete that stuff over time...
still won't be enough stash size to allow you to store explosives, fusion cores, a few weapons..
or certain food, water, and medicines that for no reason are exempt from working with the carry weight reduction perks.
and why doesn't your stash get the benefit from your reduced carry weight perks? it seems really dumb for your stuff to magically weigh literally 10x more if stashed.
honestly, if increasing stash is restricted by server stability concerns.. then how does having all these carry weight perks, that allows you to carry 10x more stuff.... NOT impact the server???? (it does, but i'm just pointing out how silly this game is, because it has so many items OUTSIDE of the stash.)
they could just spawn fewer items, or force delete dropped items after 5 minutes, or reduce hunger/thirst/durability loss/crafting requirements so we need less quantity of items... instead of severely limit stash size, which doesn't help stabilize the server at all, when people are carrying around 10x that in their bags. and when you drop tons of loot, it causes server instability. over time the server will crash due to the amount of items dropped, so... logic??
Feels like they're teasing this announcement to let us know, "Hey, just in case nobody likes this Anthem thing.. we can get a new hype train going now, rather than after Anthem beta when these people will be holding pitchforks..."
sounds like Dragon Age 2... instantly on sale for 1/2 off.
you guys who bought bf5 better hope all that planned DLC was already done, because EA tends to cancel all future work on a game when it doesn't sell well at launch.
"early on" there is no point in finding power armors. they all require a higher level to equip.
but the skeleton and fusion cores, that's handy,
because when you eventually can't fast travel because you're carrying too much, hop in the skeleton to boost your carry weight. then toss the skeleton back in your backpack when you're done.
until you'll hit a turning point where you have too many cores, and you actually need to stay in the power armor because each fusion core weighs so much that you might as well use them up because you have no place to store them. thanks Bethesda!
