A Plea for BHVR to Add Inventory Management
With the recent rework of maps and keys, several add-ons for the two items were retired. While they are no longer able to be brought into the trials, these add-ons are still visible in Survivors' inventories. BHVR's stated reason for this was to allow players who are collectors to still be able to see their collection of add-ons that they have accumulated over the years. This isn't the first time the developers have made a change for collectors, and it is very encouraging to see them willing to listen to a subset of players' opinions like they have.
I am making this post because not everyone is a collector.
I have been playing this game since late 2016, so I was around back when prestige would completely clear a character's inventory. I've always enjoyed the feeling of having a clean inventory. While having absolutely nothing is very difficult to achieve now that you hold onto everything forever, I've given a lot of effort to make sure that I never had anything in my inventories that I could not use.
The Hawkins map offering, the yellow mori offering, event offerings and add-ons. Anything that was being retired or could only be used during specific events, I made sure that I had none left when the changes would go live or the events would end. It took a lot of games, but it was possible and I managed to rid myself of these items every time.
Map and key add-ons were different. Thanks to the rarity of the items before their rework, I had exponentially more map and key add-ons than I had maps and keys. I desperately wanted to get rid of the retired add-ons before the rework, but it was not possible to do so thanks to the scarcity of the items themselves. Now I am stuck with all of those add-ons, sitting there uselessly.
I wanted to make this post immediately after the update, but I decided to try to just ignore it. I've tried adjusting to having them locked for a few weeks, but I just can't get used to it. I'm aware that this is most definitely a me problem, but whenever I play I can't help but think about how they're there and it makes me feel agitated.
All that I'm asking for is a tool that will allow me to rid myself of these add-ons. I want the ability to throw away items, add-ons, and offerings that I do not want. I want to be able to not worry about what's next on the chopping block, especially since the offerings system as a whole is now on the radar for a rework.
I heard that on one of the recent Reddit AMAs, the devs said that they would be looking to see if there is interest in such a system being added to the game. I cannot speak for the entire playerbase, but I know that I'm not the only person on the forums who has asked for this. Please, BHVR. For the players that care about how their inventories look, a trash system would mean the world.
