Among other things, the developers reported that with the launch of update 1.1.1, an additional free stash tab will appear in the game, but so far only one. “osnovaUnitId”: null, “url”: ” “place”: “post_inside”, “site”: “dtf”, “settings”: “modes”:”externalLink”:”buttonLabels”:[“u0423u0437u043du0430u0442u044c”,”u0427u0438u0442u0430u0442u044c”,”u041du0430u0447u0430u0442u044c”,”u0417u0430u043au0430u0437u0430u0442u044c”,”u041au0443u043fu0438u0442u044c”,”u041fu043eu043bu0443u0447u0438u0442u044c”,”u0421u043au0430u0447u0430u0442u044c”,”u041fu0435u0440u0435u0439u0442u0438″]”,”deviceList”:”desktop”:”u0414u0435u0441u043au0442u043eu043f”,”smartphone”:”u0421u043cu0430u0440u0442u0444u043eu043du044 b”,”tablet”:”u041fu043bu0430u043du0448u0435u0442u044b” After the broadcast, Diablo IV fans began to ask the developers why such a limitation. Some time later, assistant game director Joseph Pipora explained why his team might not yet add more tabs. It turned out that the whole thing is a technical limitation associated with the fact that the game client downloads information regarding all the items in the cache of the characters nearby. When we say that tabs are “expensive”, we mean that they require a lot of additional memory. The fact is that when you see another character in the game, you load not only him, but his entire cache, with all the items that are in it. Our developers are now hard at work to add more tabs to the game as soon as possible. Joseph Pipora, Diablo IV Assistant Game Director Pipora thus confirmed that the lack of many tabs in Diablo IV’s stash is due to their impact on performance. It’s unclear when developers will be able to add more chest sections. Fans of Diablo IV reacted differently to this news. One of the players wrote on the Blizzard forum that “the meme regarding a small indie company has become a reality.” At the same time, the player noted that he thinks so without a share of sarcasm, since, in his opinion, there are fewer and fewer talented developers left in Blizzard. In the discussion, some forum users also recalled that, according to The Washington Post investigation, there were many problems and staff turnover during the development of Diablo IV. Earlier, the authors of Diablo IV stated that they would no longer release patches that would massively weaken characters and slow down progress. The authors of Diablo IV on the mass criticism: “We do not plan to release more patches like this” Editorial Articles The developers heard the players “loud and clear.”
