Better Stash Search/Sorting/Organization

Feedback and Suggestions

This is sort of a follow up to my topic on all the new crafting options in the game encouraging more hoarding. Random thoughts on loot usefulness and hoarding

This is one suggestion for aleviating some of those problems without compromising the interesting new systems:

In anticipation of the new season, I’ve been going through the monumental task of cleaning and sorting my stash so it’s more usable. And it reminded me of just how bad managing the stash actually is. It’d be really nice if we could get some improvements. Just some general complaints/suggestions from my thoughts so far:

  • The search function isn’t great. It pulls up a lot of items that don’t actually fit the search criteria (from what I understand it has to do with what is in their mod explanations.) and for finding what you’re actually looking for, you need to use an exact string without any leeway for typos.

  • I’d like the ability to sort and filter based on various criteria like with the loot filter plus some other things. I’m sorting through my idols at the moment and I’d really like it if I could just group together all the idols with the same prefix or suffix so I could quickly compare their rolls. Also being able to then sort them by the roll values of those affixes would be helpful.

  • If you have a lot of tabs, it’s pretty slow to navigate between them. The “quick bar” is even kind of slow with the speed it scrolls. It’d be nice to be able to change the scroll speed on that menu. Also, the categories in the quick bar should be collapsible. That way the number of tabs within the category doesn’t affect how how space the category takes up and thus wouldn’t slow down access to the category you’re looking for.

  • This is sort of a side/general UX thing: But Could you disable or add an option to disable mouse clicks affecting movement while in a menu? The number of times I’ve moved my character away from my stash by accident while scrolling the quick menu is super frustrating.

  • The tab affinity system is nice in theory, but in practice I haven’t gotten much use out of it. The problem for me is that I have some tabs that I dedicate to gear I need specifically for whatever build I’m playing or planning to play next. Obviously this includes all sorts of items like uniques, exalts, and idols. But if I set up a tab affinity for those items types as would be normally useful, then I can’t as easily place the specific items I want into the build tabs. I’m not really sure exactly what would fix this issue, although maybe it would be less of a concern if the search/sort features of the tabs were improved enough that everything could just go into their respective categories and then I can just easily find what I’m looking for when I need it.

All great points! to add two more:
-More than just one “folder”. Please give us at least 1 more. 2 or 3 would be ideal. Would make organization so much easier, especially when talking about sharing stash for multiple characters.

-Ability to delete tabs. It’s rather embarrassing honestly that this isn’t in the game.

What do you mean? Are you talking about categories? You can have as many as you want. You don’t even pay for them.
Categories also have a “+” button, like tabs. Only they’re free.

Probably because you’ve paid gold for them and players don’t want to loose things they’ve already paid for and having to pay for them once again.

Sure, call them categories if you wish. I’m talking about levels . You can only have 1 level of folders.

That’s a bad excuse. Simply refund the gold if that’s why.

Do you mean having a category (Like uniques), then a subcategory (like 0 LP uniques and 1LP+ uniques) and then stash tabs in each subcategory?

yes… char limit is 5

That would require some changes to how stashes are handled, but I don’t see why not. Categories are already free anyway and you can create how many you want.
I personally don’t see the need for it, but I basically only use about 6-10 categories overall anyway. But I can see that some people would make use of that, so sure.

You should make a suggestion post for that. I’m not sure if suggestions inside suggestion posts get the same attention.

Okay, maybe I will. I’m just not great at explaining it, as you see. Should I call them “levels of catagories”? What should I title my post.

Just call them sub-categories. I’m pretty sure the ones we have are called categories anyway, so it would make sense.

Something like “Allow creation of subcategories in stash” and then you give a few examples of how you’d like to organize your stash with Category, a few sub-categories and then the actual stash tabs.
