Who doesn't love tetris? har! Seems like a good idea for the resource gathering part of the game. Thanks for pointing it out 👍
yeah one more reason not to play that game. Not my style at all

I like this system. It has much more room for balancing and decision making when looting, and turns the looting experience into a strategic gameplay component. So cool!
While I applaud them for trying something new, as a crafter, I don't want inventory management to be more than 30% of my activities.
If it applies only to the Gathering profession, then I'll give it a shot. However, you will have to move all the items to a processor, so I hope it is fairly efficient and somewhat painless. I guess we will see during testing.
I've seen a lot of people rage over this system. The key here is it isn't about making you sort out your inventory as a mini game (sound like they are trying to automate that anyway). It's about creating larger game mechanics and more depth in progression. I think it's an interesting idea.
I think a 2d tetris system is just stupid. It's just an annoyance having to rearrange your bag to fit in the things that you can fit. If you want to make objects all wonky shaped that'd be one thing, but as long as every inventory piece is a rectangle, it's just an annoyance-check that doesn't add anything to the game. Give bags item and/or encumbrance limits, but if I have to rearrange my 1×1 items so I can fit a 2×1 item (Path of Exile/Diablo style), that seems really pointless. It's not a puzzle. Either make it a real puzzle or make it automatic.
Mind blowing stuff…
Thus also makes you think, it has an auto arrange feature, and it keeps idiots from just running around and grabbing everything under the sun.
I do like the logic. As I've also said, what is more cumbersome? A 3lb hammer attached to your belt OR a 2'x3' framed painting you got as loot, that you have to lug back to town or your freehold.
Personally, I like a sense of progression in my games, and putting limiting factors on things allows for you to progress past the tedium. And Intrepid wants people to have to think about what they're doing when they leave the comfort of whichever safe zone they're in. Verra isn't 100% hold-your-hand safe like in other MMO's where you don't really have to worry about how the game mechanics judge the consequences of your actions. And little reminders like limited slot/bag space to constantly tell you "This isn't meant to be easy" plays right into the Risk Vs Reward style that Steven has preached about since day 1. He's also said this game will not be for everyone, but people who like things to be a little on the difficult side will like a game that allows for them to have challenges to overcome. I honestly am looking forward to starting with nothing in my limited pockets and spending hours making them grow.
Mmm no. I hate tetris style inventory. We passed this in the naughties. There's enough third job elements to this game already.
I wasnt sure about this system at first but after the podcast, as a Gatherer/PvPer I'm really looking forward to trying this out~ Makes sense to me and sounds fun xD
I really like that bags system. especially the pvp aspect. when you kill a player and you don't have the correct bags on you, so you might not get alle the lotte or maby the player you killed may gat back b4 you loot it alle and a new fight start i a cool ide
i really hope that AoC can make pvp work and be fun. and the bags system is a good and fun tool
a 30+ year old inventory system BLEW YOUR MIND? how much did they pay you to post this utter nonsense for marketing purposes? nobody (except few virgins who live in their parents basement) plays mmo for the bag management… this is pathetic
This game seems like a massive chore , not exactly what I want after a hard week of work lol To gather stuff I have to play a bag sorting mini game now? 🙈
