15 or so years ago they had this on at least a limited scale, i think i still have one in a bag somewhere. Essence of the helm of the red dragon or something like it. Throw it in a stone of change iirc and poof, the helm is there
Yeah, that was the old shard system of raid loot, I think. I forgot about it. I am pretty sure I have one of those essences in a bag somewhere. Litany I think.

That would work. They would need to store more information in the essence.

The difference between the essences and what I am suggesting is my idea would have nothing to take up any inventory anywhere. You would still have to store the essences in a bag. But even that would be a great improvement.

I get it, delays and downtime suck, but I'd rather wait and be a little frustrated to see it done right, than seeing SSG Todd Howarding this.

That is a great response to the point no one is making. Sure, we are all ok with things taking more time to be less buggy in the end. The problem, however, is with delays to the start of the process without the delays to the completion of said process. And despite the delays the hassle is only mounting up considering the whole TR cache issue.

Regarding BtC in TR cache issue

Possible workaround if SSG can code it.

Sometime in the near future, 32 bit worlds (only 32 bit worlds, not the 64 bit worlds) have the entirety of available bank slots made available.

Characters empty BtC TR cache treasure to 32 bit world bank slots, empty inv bags of as much BtC treasure (and any other treasure not needed for immediate adventuring) as is possible to fill all available 32 bit world bank slots.

Do the dreaded /pack command.

On the new 64 bit world, the /unpack works as intended (crossed fingers to get the natural 20). The new bank has way too few slots for the old bank treasure and goes into overflow. In overflow state it is withdraw only (essentially making the bank like the TR cache) until treasure count is under the purchased (or otherwise obtained) slot count.

This will only work if the bank slotted treasure from the 32 bit world does not populate into inv bags before going into overflow on the 64 bit world. If it does, that character is essentially unplayable.

This is only a suggestion, and may not work as intended, and may not be possible due to coding or other issues.

What indication is there that waiting will make it be done right?

We're once again enabling transfers right as servers come up? Why not bring servers up, then enable the transfers at some time?

To prevent the oh so scary Denial Of Service Transfer button they themselves implemented, which apparently clicking on it spawns some sort of logic bomb on their backend.

So the plan is to let the cache-less people transfer first to reduce server load, then offer a solution later? right? please?
you just empty your cache.. like you do every life and have every life. *** lol. they even gave us 100 free slots. you cant fit your cache even with the 100 free slots?

people must be trying to be obtuse at this point?

I'm in the I don't have a cache camp, and I think you're all dirty exploiting hoarders, but at least I understand how taking out 60 or 80 or 100+ BTC items wihtout coin lord / house k favor would make a level 5 character *virtually* unplayable.

Yeah, and what do you do with your stuff when you TR? You probably move it to a bank toon. What happens when you are TRing the bank toon, where you gonna move all the stuff to then? Another bank toon?

And yeah, I have way more than 100 items in my main toons tr cache. I have even more in my bank toons tr caches.

Also, some people have played this game for a while and actively play many toons.

If you have 4 or 5 toons (or 10 or 11) who have TR caches, without a doubt, all of that wont go into 100 shared bank spaces.

FREE Otto's Boxes for everyone!
FREE Character spaces across the board!
FREE banks space for all!

Just fix the mess you made, fire a few people, and then hand out some "we are sorry" stuff to the people paying your salaries.
Get rid of the BTC designation all together would be a great start...... I have junk in my inventory that is not even named stuff that I cannot dissolve, sell or feed because at some point in the past it was designated BTC. Such inconsistency. Just being sarcastic and having fun while I cool off from the heat ;)

Everyone should have expected the worst. Everyone should have planned out that they might have to empty everything into character slots to move I.E. empty character bank, shared bank, crafting bank, and TR cache. Should have had as many of your characters stocked up on as many favor based character slots as you can muster not doing something as irresponsible as TRing sometime since Sunday. I have never seen a server merge go smooth. I have seen one go pretty well but never smooth.
Anyone expecting anymore than that must have a real hard time functioning in the real world. I see a few of you are flat out Karens, you don't know who you are because a Karen never knows they are one. Just keep this in mind the worst is yet to come. So if the world around you is already falling apart wait till you start to actually move the character and the bad stuff actually starts to happen.
Or just hear me out on this one, you can wait for them to possibly fix things and not rush into things. Everyone had plenty of time to plan this out from the player base side and the dev side. Looks like there was failure all around here.

Kobolds don't matter. *Except in Crystal Cove.
While they really don't matter and deserved what they got in Water Works, lets hope they get the job done today when replacing the hampsters. Come on Kobolds, make us want to like you (other than crystal cove).
