The Future of Stash Tabs

"

Existing Tabs are being updated as much as possible with new slots for items that should go in them. As I mentioned at ExileCon, we don't want to add a second Currency Tab.

I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here. I've been thinking about this even more lately, especially after someone said they weren't sure why Scarabs are in the fragments tab.

So, to me, currency is any item used to modify another item. This makes oils, delirium orbs, catalysts, and similar items currency.

Fragments are anything, or their constituent parts, other than a map you put in the map device. So simulacrum splinters and the simulacrum are fragments.

Maps are well, maps. So blighted maps go in the maps tab.

Anything else could reasonably go in a new tab, such as the Metamorph body parts.

This is why I don't mind fossils being in their own tab. Sure, I would categorize the resonators as currency but the fossils are not and having them in the same tab makes sense. Divination cards are another great example of an item that deserves its own tab.

Essences are currency and really should be part of the currency tab, but because there are so many and it seemed an exception to the rule of currency going into the currency tab... well, I sort of didn't care. Shame on me on that one I guess.

But now we're at the point where new league = new tab if there's a decent amount of stuff, or new league = tough shit if there isn't. For example, Incursion vials, Breach blessings, Betrayal enhanced breachstones. Those should be in currency, currency, and fragments respectively.

The idea is one of trust and holding GGG to the expectations they've set. This is why anytime anyone has ever suggested they bring back old packs I've felt confident it won't happen, because they said it won't. (And on that one I still believe that.)

Not updating existing tabs to hold stuff that they should hold violates that trust. It could cost $0.01 per tab or $10.

I obviously have no problem paying money for this game, I do have a problem paying for these tabs.

As for stash folders. NO thank you. This just HIDES the problem, instead of solving it!

Quality of life would be, in a single word, "Terraria" (THE inventory management system POE needs to implement)

Summary:
- 1st, a "stack all" button where you literally dump all of your inventory into the proper tab which already has the exact same item stacks in the stash somewhere.. with a single click.

- 2nd, a "dump all" button which will dump ALL remaining items that are not already found in the stash, into a designated "dump tab(s)".. with a single click!

- 3rd, this would also need to include a "lock" feature, so you could select certain items in inventory to NOT be dumped into stash when you select the "stash/dump all" buttons. (such as wisdom and portal scrolls.. or the next map you intend to run)

Last, to expanding upon that system that Terraria uses, to make POE inventory management the best it can be -

The Affinity system mentioned in the original post could absolutely further expand on Terraria's inventory management.

By that i mean you flag every "non-stackable" item type into a groups, such as described. but not just random league items. Gear also. Things such as flasks, boots, skill gems, etc. There is no limit to this Affinity concept. Simply give us an optional "check box" accompanied by simply adding one of something into a tab and then = that tab becomes designated for that item TYPE (boot for example).
