wastelanddustin Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 People will complain about anything. what's wrong with it being 9999 instead of 999? if all you'll have is less then that then it wont matter. and if you only want 999 in a stack then just split it.

Eanelinea Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm not a crafter, not a big time one, ain't got time for dat, and I like the 9999 limit. Saves ALOT of room when they even said at this very moment, they either can't or won't make more cargo bays. Trust me, 9999 is a good number. If you don't need 9999 of salvaged bits, sell 'em. Or don't salvage them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsKNives Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 WHO THE HELL NEEDS 9999 OF ANY SALVAGE sorry caps not intended. why would they do that.... 999 or 1000 ok but 9999 is weird... Why is 999 OK, but not 9,999? Do you have some strange need to have full stacks or something? How about this, any time you get a stack that's bigger than 999 you break it up into a separate stack. If they had gone with your suggestion and done stacks of 999 then I would have had a few materials that would be in multiple stacks. Instead, with the size of 9,999 all of my materials fit in one stack, nicely in my legacy storage. Databases like storing number quantities in weird ways. You get used to it. If they were going with the limits imposed by the value type they used in the database then the number would be a power of 2. 99 and even 9,999 is an artificial limit imposed by the designers.

Thoronmir Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Yeah ... no. I have more than 1000 of just about every crafting material in the game. It's much better to have them in single stacks. I would have welcomed an increase to 999, but since they saw fit to do even better, I'm keeping the larger stack size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Kaitou-Kid Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 If they were going with the limits imposed by the value type they used in the database then the number would be a power of 2. 99 and even 9,999 is an artificial limit imposed by the designers. While it's definitely not a database thing for the reason you mentioned, I wouldn't say it's definitely an artificial limit. Another reason to limit things like this is the UI. If you had 10k of an item, that'd require 5 digits to show the amount stored which would probably trail off the item's icon unless they redid that specific UI element. So 9999 is the highest they can go without pushing into 5 digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediQuaker Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) what's wrong with it being 9999 instead of 999? if all you'll have is less then that then it wont matter. and if you only want 999 in a stack then just split it. I think the OP is complaining about the max 9999 when you try to buy multiple things from a vendor, which I would also like to complain about. For example, if you go to the Crew Skill Vendor to but, say, 48 of some crafting material, it's nearly impossible to move the slider to anything close to 48, it will jump from 20 something, to 200, back to 150, etc. and you usually end up having to select something like 22, or 85 (or whatever) and then do 20 odd clicks to set the quantity to 48 (or whatever amount you wanted) or just giviing up and buying a couple of hundred. The 9999 stack size is great, but a max 999 quantity to buy mats from vendors would be more user friendly. It's not likely you'd ever buy more than 999 at any one time.

Max_Killjoy Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think you can type a number into that little window for the amount you want... I know I can do that when splitting stacks of mats or whatever for putting up on GTN... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? Must be a reeeeeeeeeal slow day for the OP if thats all he has to complain about... I have one of every crafter, I -LOVE- the 9,999 stacks, I can store all my mats in my legacy hold and dont need to split them up anymore between the professions who use duplicates.

Of all the changes that have been made in the last 6+ months, THIS is the best one and 100% positive. All of my crafting mats now go into my Legacy storage, and all my characters can share from the giant pool. Alts leveling up can replenish the general stock as they go. No more taking up 1 or 2 tabs on every character and most of my Legacy storage on mats, and no more toting around stacks in my inventory waiting for a good price point to pop up on GTN. As much as I've hated some of the changes (levelstink, gearless companions, cookie-cutter companion abilities, etc, and so forth), I absolutely 100% support this huge QoL improvement.
